NEWS FLASH... Every night SL wants someone to lay with him while he goes to sleep. Well, the new thing now is for SL to lay with Havey until we get ready to go to bed then we move him to his bed. Now if we can only get him to go to Havey's bed in the middle of the night we will have it made.......

These are just a few pictures from Nan and Pop's. I will have more later. As you can tell from the pictures, a visit to Nan and Pop's almost always involves fishing. The boys had a special request for Thanksgiving dinner too, hot dogs and more Smoores. So guess what, they got hot dogs and Smoores for Thanksgiving lunch..... It was delicious, we had all had just about enough turkey... Keep checking in, I will have more pictures later.

I am out of time for tonight. Check back for pictures from Thanksgiving at Nan and Pop's

Here are just a few more pictures from our trip to Momma Ann's. Each year the boys look forward to going to Uncle Dean's to their Thanksgiving barbecue. I think it is mostly because they get to eat good barbecue but most of all all the Smoores you can eat!!!!!

Thanksgiving at Mama Ann's always involves a lot of cooking. This year the grandchildren decided to help. They had a ball. At least I didn't have to clean the mess up.....

Here are some pictures from Deacon Ordination night. Paw Paw and Aunt Traci walked the boys to church and we ate at Wendy's afterwords. Havey got to order us desert all by himself. The lady who took the order would not give him 7 Frosties with out a grown up giving her the OK. I guess in retrospect it is a little strange, a 6 year old ordering 6 chocolate Frosties and 1 "Banala" Frosty.

Mama Ann and the boys have lunch at Peppers.

The Green Power Ranger and Red Power Ranger showed up for Halloween. I heard a report that the Pink Power Ranger was going to show up but we did not get any pictures...

I have to say we where the only ones that sent their kids to Trunk or Treat with weapons.

Mr. Matt and Mrs. Emby came over to join our family for our annual pumpkin carving.
They had fun, I think, but they did take it pretty serious....
There was a time when we thought that Mr. Matt had lost it....
Mrs. Emby was very determined to finish the job.
Havey is getting the last few seeds out..
Benjamin Harris looks a little concerned about the finished product.
Daddy had to get involved and help some..

The boys get the pumpkins ready to start carving. They got a great start but faded a little toward the end.

Havey and SL are serious about carving pumpkins...
