Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!! This last weekend we went to Utah to my sister, Tiffany's, wedding. It was great. The last of the Merrill's to get married. Kind of sad to see our, "favorite Aunt Tiffany," taken to marriage. It was a lovely day, and fun to see all of my family together.

We also got to see our new neice Ryleigh. It was sometimes hard to tell her and Gage apart when people were holding them. She is absolutely beautiful, you do a great job Ryan and Michelle.

This weekend is Jason's ACDC concert. So, we will be heading to Tacoma, Washington. Due to all the traveling we have opted to stay home for Thanksgiving. We are having our own Thanksgiving meal here. Anyone is invited! However, we are so greatful for many things some of those are:
  • Good Health (everyone in the family)
  • jobs
  • family and friends
  • children that make us laugh and appreciate the little things in life.
  • vehicles that work
  • Nicholas (our donor)

........and many more things that are unlisted. We are so blessed and are greatful for all that we have. Thanks to all of you who check on us. We love you and hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

A priceless picture of my Grandma and Grandpa Hobbs with Gage. The last of our grandparents that are alive on either of Jason or my side.

Ryleigh and Gage. There are 3 weeks between them. She may just pass Gage up.


I thought this was a cute picture of Tiffany and Cameron.


Tiffany and Cameron at the Logan, UT temple where they were married.


The first picture of Mr. and Mrs. Dockstader coming out of the temple.



The wind was blowing and it was very cold while we were waiting for the bride and groom to come out. This is a picture of everyone huddled in the only place that there was no wind outside the temple.



A cute picture of Lindsey and Gage sleeping the day before we left for Utah.
