Thanksgiving Break & Baby Foxx

This past week Steve and I went home to Colorado to spend Thanksgiving with my family. We flew out Wednesday evening (Steve had to still work until 5 on Wednesday). Thursday wasn't our typical Thanksgiving due to several reasons. Well, first of all my sister and her family weren't there because it was their turn with Jesse's family. Also, we usually have dinner with my grandparents and my aunts and uncles but my grandpa is really sick so they didn't have Thanksgiving. Lastly, and the best, Ashton and Kylie had their sweet little baby at 3:36 am on Thursday morning! Foxx Kimball Gardner was 6 lb. 10 oz and 20 inches long! What a perfect and wonderful thing to be grateful for on Thanksgiving.

Since Ashton stayed with Kylie in the hospital we got to have little Fiona spend the entire weekend with us. She is so much fun to be with. After we got up and got ready on Thursday we headed for the hospital to see the new little addition to their family.

After a great Thanksgiving day and a wonderful Friday it was already time to come home. We got to spend time with my grandparents and only a little more time with baby Foxx. It was a great trip and a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

What's Up with Us...

It's been awhile since I've updated this thing. Well, not a lot has been going on lately- just the usual busyness.

-Last weekend I had parent teacher conferences and my parents came into town. It is always fun to have them here- we cooked, we ate, we shopped and just had a fun time being together.

-This week we finally got the final piece, an amoire, to complete our bedroom set! We love it- finally a real place to put our tv!

-We had an awesome Halloween in my class yesterday... we had some wonderful moms who planned such a fun party. I dressed up as an angel, the kids told me that it was so fitting- Steve said he wouldn't always agree :)

-Today I hosted a baby shower for my friend Jessica. She is such an adorable pregnant girl- I only hope that I look that cute! It was fun to see her and to see all the fun things that she got!
