Thanksgiving 08

This Thanksgiving our family went to my brother, Jims' house in Maricopa for dinner.  It was the Brown sides turn to get together, and since Rainbow Valley was rained out, Jim and Pam volunteered their house. :) We had soo much fun!

These are two of my nephews that had a great time swinging plastic sand tools around. haha

Some of my nieces and nephews played soccer in the backyard, while others had fun walking on the border walls. Both of which, I throughly enjoy doing. They must take after me. ;)

Courtney and Jalon were SO to stop anything that tried to get into their goal.

Ashley is such a cutie but as serious as can be! haha She also could stop any balls from scoring.

Mason was amazing at running up and kicking the ball!  I can't believe how tall he grew!

GOAL! Courtney celebrating as Jalon is getting ready for the next shot.

Emily and Mason were so awesome at soccer! You can tell that they were concentrated and unstoppable. :) haha

Too bad they won't let me ride a bike like this on my mission...It even had a bell!  Jim ofcourse was "upset" that I rode it around in his backyard and made ruts in his grass.  haha

haha Cole had almost ALL the balls! Fascination over the pink one...it felt really cool! He is so funny!

Cute one of Emily as she waits for the next attempt to score. 

Mom talking with Ashley, Jalon, and Cole.  She had to spend a little bit of time with each of her grandkids. :D

Mom, a family friend, and I went back to our house after lunch to watch a chick flick.  We decided to watch the Holiday.  I've never seen it before then, and must say that it is one cute movie!  After the movie ended, I was going to play ultimate with some of my friends, but it was rained out. :(  So we decided to play volleyball instead!  I thought that was a great alternative. :D  I have to say that I had a very good Thanksgiving!
