Aubrey loves reading books? ... and coloring? ... and making water color paintings? ... and dancing with her daddy? She is AWESOME!!!

GIVE THANKS!

 Had a perfect dinner with hot home made rolls, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, pomegranate salad, olives, sweet potatoes, apple, pumpin and chocolate pies and a few more things that I just can't remember. Just perfect! Thanks Genn! Watched a girly movie upstairs while the boys rocked the "Eagles" concert in the new finished basement (that sound system was heard everywhere!) and...

 And  Bunk Fire! The Mells and Kids (Ronin & Aubrey) brought the sage brushes to the fire and it was hot!!! So fun!!...Oh the stories the boys came up with when growing up at the dinner table, we were hurting so bad we laughed so much! : 0

 Cute cute Ronin!

It was the best Thanksgiving ever!!!

POTTY TRANING AND MORE ...

 So it's time! Potty training is in process. This is Aubrey's 3rd day. She got a hold of #1 but #2 has had a few accidents. One of them was at Walt-mart last night! Ryan suddenly disappeared and I laughed too hard to clean up the mess fast so lots of people went away from our Aile when they saw what was on the floor: Lots of Poop! Oh well, this is how it goes, right? She will get it eventually :)

 Her new favorite toy...

 My latest craft inspired by my friend Jenn Reese. Not sure where exactly in Aubrey's bedroom is going yet but really like it!

 "Mommy, take a picture!  ... So cute!

COMING UP WITH FUN STUFF TO DO :)

 So, thought Aubrey would like to play with so home made putty? It was easy: one cup of flour, some water and lots of food coloring. It was quite sticky and turned out to be messier than I wanted it to be! Aubrey loved it and couldn't be happier :)

 The Snow came back!. Not a happy day at the Wolsey home. Not sure snow is made for us :) P.S. This is our improved backyard. We put in the sprinklers and grass this coming spring.

 Aubrey is at the stage where she asks Ryan and I to play with her. This time she wanted daddy to get in her house and read her some books. She giggled quite a bit when she saw daddy struggling to get in.

A LITTLE POPURRI FROM US

 So right before we went to Spain we got together with my sister's Dámaris missionary companion and her family. They just had her little girl and she was named after my sister: Francis Dámaris Hill. There is a pack between them: each will name their girls after each other. My sister's husband is not so sure about this pack yet but Berkley didn't brake her promise! Berckley's husband was so nice to help Ryan with our outside trampoline. We got to chat and play with the kids and it was so much fun!

 Aubrey and Claudius.

 

We finally finished our downstairs bathroom. It needs some wall decor. Love the finished product! 

 

This is what I look like at work :) I took a few pictures so that I could show my family. 

 This is my office staff at Brigham City Smiles (Brigham City). This is a good place to be! I work M, T and Wed all day and every other Friday from 9-2. From right to left: Brenna, Dr. Murdock, Suzette (just got her braces that day), Shawna and Sara.

 

And Suzette taught us how to do canning! We got to can 57 jars of peaches, 12 of salsa, 12 of spaghetti sauce and 10 small peach jam jars. It was quite the experience. A lot of things to remember and lots of time standing up.  I was so grateful for Suzette, her time and her canning equipment. I can't wait to can next year!

 Oh, yes. P.S. We melted one part of the microwave while canning. We used all the fires in the stove for several hours...at the same time. Our microwave door now opens with a fork. We needed a new one that matches our stainless steel appliances anyways, so maybe it wasn't such a bad thing?. We learned some things along the way....

 

Cuddling with daddy. Ryan's favorite sport :) 

 

I have been attempting some of my mom's food recipes. This one is a salad. Ryan's new favorite food. We have been eating this salad once weekly at his request. Super healthy and yummy. 

♫ HAPPY HALLOWEEN ♫

 Aubrey found the bowl of candy and pretended she didn't just put a whole Tutsi roll in her mouth. We had a good laugh!

 My work asked me to dress up in the theme of super heroes. I spent $2 on this custom. How did I get so inspired? I usually don't like to dress up. It's just uncomfortable...But I was okay to wear this one :)

 Aubrey looks like Ryan!!!! A LOT!!!!!!

 And we had dinner in a pumpkin. My co-worker gave me this awesome recipe! We weren't sure this whole thing would work out but it did! It was a delicious dinner with canned peaches smoothie, Caesar salad and lime Rickys! We decided this was going to be our dinner at each Halloween night! (If you want the recipe you can Google it. They have a few different ones)

 Ryan also did some pumpkin carving. We salted and roasted the seeds and watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3...or was it 4?? The last one out.
