Yay for the weekend!!

Jeromy picked up Aurora last night @ 5pm. It's nice cause he gets to be with her just one on one for a bit. It's right at dinner time, and Aurora loves chicken fingers at Red Robin, so that's where they went in Tacoma. And my amazing husband took a picture cause he knew I'd want to see there cute faces!
Then last night Jeromy and Aurora played some board games, played some spelling games, etc. They had to clear the table to play and Jeromy called me (cause I was at work) to tell me that Aurora accidentally dropped the pepper shaker and it broke, he said she was a little upset about it. But it was no problem. I thought maybe Jeromy could glue it back together, but he took this picture and I think the pepper shaker's life is over.... I couldn't help laughing when he showed me the picture when I got home. We are having our hangout time with other church friends tonight at Laura's. And the theme is Mexican, Jade needs to cook a meal for her food science class, so to the Internet she went.

She found a ground turkey and rice wraps recipe that sounded really yummy. And we can make some with out cheese for Jeromy, too. So we headed out to get a few of the ingredients that we needed...Here she's cooking away... (she's wrestling with the salsa jar here, but she won!)
Since we had Aurora this weekend I thought it would be a good time to start taking some good ol' family pictures so we have a nice one to choose from for our Christmas cards...

You'd think it would be less stressful not being at an actual photo studio, but remember the part where I said my husband is a big kid at heart, and he drives me a little crazy???? Well, trying to get the kids angled right and then Jeromy starts poking the kids while I'm getting the camera on a timer making sure every one's in the shot, then they start laughing and fall out of the pose... well, all I can say is that I love him....

Anyway, here's some of the shots, but the one we are going to use isn't in this batch, cause it's going to be a surprise... well not a huge surprise cause you get the idea...Some of these were just funny cause some of our faces weren't quite in the shot. Or this one where everyone was kinda doing there own thing so I just snapped the picture and that got their attention, Kent's face cracks me up in this one...
I also have 8X10's, one of Jade and one of Kent in black and white when each of them was 10 years old. Well, Aurora is 10, so I wanted a picture of her, too, in black and white. So I took a few pictures of just her cute little face, Jeromy also took a little photo shoot of her, this is him trying to tell her how to pose, I thought it was pretty funny...

Dad and daughter....Jeromy also went to check out the chickens this morning... and look what he found... FINALLY...

Lastly, I think I need to revise my list of things I'm thankful for... A couple people said they thought my list was a little out of order... I'm not naming any names but here goes... and just cause the persons name is in italics and a different color doesn't mean anything....

#1 Jesus will always be number one for saving me.

#2 My husband.

#3 Jade.

#4 Kenton.

#5 Aurora.

Then there's "List #2" a totally different list than "List #1" of who I'm thankful for. And who is at the top of this wonderful #2 list???

MY MOM!!! THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S YOU MOM AT THE TOP OF THIS LIST, JUST YOU MOM, ONLY YOU, ONLY YOU CAN FILL THIS NUMBER ONE SPOT ON MY 2ND LIST OF PEOPLE I AM THANKFUL FOR. THANKS MOM FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR ME THRU OUT MY 34 YEARS OF LIFE...

Ok, now we got to get ready to go eat a bunch of great food. Have a great weekend out there!
