Happy Thanksgiving! We had a great one. We went to Matt and Teran's. Joe and Shell and their kids were there too, as well as my mom.Everyone made their specialties, yum. We all had to have our favorite pies, so when all was said and done we ended up with 8 pies for 19 people. Lot's of leftovers! Addison made his great grandma's apple pie. He did a great job. Nate helped make a lemon merangue and I made pecan, coffee toffee, and a crumb apple. I do like making pies! This morning I met Teran and Shell at walmart for shopping at 5am-too early! I did find some good deals, but now I think it's nap time...

Big news of the week...I got a promotion at work and am now officially an assistant teacher, benefits and all. Wow I kinda feel like a real grownup. Tait and Nate got their report cards this week, Nate had pretty much straight a's, and Tait had mostly a's with some b's and c's. So...life is good. Well except.. since we got Monkey fixed he has turned into the demon cat from HELL. He has attacked all our houseplants and a few of our children. I don't think we should be pet people

Addison's bday

Addison turned 17 on Monday.  He had a fundraiser for drama that night, so we celebrated tuesday. Wow nothing makes you feel old like having a kid who's almost grown. He's been throwing around the idea of going to Snow for school after he graduates. He's turning out to be a really good kid.
