We Made It To Mt. Pleasant, Utah

After months of telling the kids we were going to Grandma Mimi's house for Thanksgiving, we finally made it here. They were so excited. And, they were much better in the car this time. Last time we traveled for Thanksgiving with the twins they were only 4 months old (a couple months younger than Lane is now). Brant didn't go and they screamed the entire way. I was a nervous wreck. Anyway, all three kids were good in the car for the six hours we spent driving.

Brant is having so much fun too. I'm so glad he gets along with my brothers and the brother-in-laws so well. Last night almost everyone went and played basketball. Kim, who is 39 weeks pregnant, went and played too. She didn't last for a long time, but at least she did it. Wow! I can't play and I'm not even pregnant.

The kids could not get enough of being outside. It was freezing cold when we got here, but they still wanted to run all over the place. Plus, it was raining. They were fascinated with the horses. I kept thinking they would come in, but they refused. Finally, I went out and dressed them much warmer. Thank goodness Aunt Geneva sent us with some warm clothing. You can see how red Porter's hands were. They have also had so much fun with all of their cousins around. Travis' kids are here and Jaymi's son Krew is here. They have had the most fun with Krew. He is such a sweet kid. He is a year younger than the twins. And, they are all sharing and getting along great. Last night the three of them shared an apple. They would just pass it around and take turns biting out of it.

I really don't want Kim to have her baby yet. She has helped so much with Lane, I've hardly had to take care of him. She even bathed him and got him ready for bed last night. What a break for me!

Taylor and Tanya, Jake and Amber, and Bobbi and Jeremy (with their kids) are all coming today. It will be a house full, but lots of fun. The only family not here (out of ten children) is Vicki's. Alaska is a little too far away.
