Happy Thanksgiving...

We had a fun Thanksgiving holiday and hope all of you out there in internet land did too. I took our camera and specifically planned on carefully documenting everything so I would have some fun pictures to post, but I never even got it out at the Stubbs' house and only got it out twice at the Kammerman house! We started off by visiting some long-lost Green cousins in Bountiful which was a wonderful rest from the car trip. Then we headed down to Provo for dinner and birthday party for our friend Brady. We then stayed one night at my parents house before we joined the Stubbs clan down in Orem. We relaxed there for a few days with them, and even visited BYU campus with Missy & Claire-bear before heading back to my parents house to help prepare thanksgiving dinner. We had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner (we made wayyy to much food). Today we finished up our holiday with a trip Thanksgiving Point Farms and decorated gingerbread houses with my sis and her 5 kids. Ian had lots of fun seeing both sets of grandparents and playing with cousins. Eliza definitely bonded with her cousins Claire (not pictured..) and Kamry. Hope to see you all again soon!

Our Little Genius

Well, I am a very proud Mom. Of course, every Mom thinks that their kid is the brightest but I realllly think Ian is a smart one. He is able to write his name now which is so neat. I realize that he has the advantage of a short name, his cousins Samantha and Savannah and his Kammmerman cousins may have a little more trouble learning to write their names. Now if we can transfer this smartness to other areas of his life... the other day I caught him trying to drink from the soap filled dirty dish scrubber. Some days I'm not sure what is going through his head!

Vrrrroooommmm

Here is Ian on Mike's new toy. It's a 2007 Honda Rebel. Mike and his fellow students were trying to determine if Mike was going through a mid-life crisis lately, but determined that since he was only drinking 3 Dr Peppers per week and plans on using the motorcycle as a form of transportation and not planning a solo cross country camping trip with it, he isn't going through a crisis. I am relieved. Don't worry, he promises to wear his helmet and leather jacket every time he rides.

Testing... One Two Three...

Mike has his comprehensive exams today, Tuesday and Wednesday. It is quite important that he passes these so that he can go on to defend his theses, graduate and hopefully get a job. So everyone remember him this week as he tries to regurgitate all the info he has stuffed in his brain!
