Giving Thanks


Got Grandpa in the car and over to Craig's for Thanksgiving. He seemed to do okay, it was good for mom get out of the house for a few hours.

Happy Thanksgiving
The family all got together at Craig and Pam's for Thanksgiving.
The Women cooked up a storm and there was tons of everything you'd expect.

Look at all the pies.
Kirk's family was all there except for Melanie & Jake. Becky brought around 6 pies. Erin also made apple and a banana, pineapple, macadamia nut pie Yum! Kevin is counting down his days before he heads up to BYU Idaho in January. He is used to the cold since his mission in Canada. Melanie and Jake are heading to Fort Worth this summer for an internship with Lockheed Martin. Should be a good summer job. Kerry and Brian are walking together in a couple of weeks Graduating from Weber State ! Pretty cool for them to be finished.

Alison and J.J. with Colin and Reese Colin is in preschool and getting tall. Reese is 17 months old.

Dan and Erin. What a cute couple!
Brenda spends lots of time in the kitchen. Making her turkey soup and trying to cook healthy.
Our faithful dog Savannah. Has been spoiled with some turkey skin and treats today. She looks good since having a bath at the pet spas last week.

November News

Welcome to November. It has been the most beautiful month. The leaves are falling. Today we walked to church at 8:30 a.m. without a jacket. It has been a beautiful week. Hope it stays that way for Perry's birthday this week. The colors here have been very vibrant this year. Brenda took leaves to all her kids in school this month. We pressed them and talked about fall. Now they are all bringing leaves to her each day saying, " Mrs. Madson these leaves are for you, I know you will like them." Children seem to enjoy the simplicity of everything.



Savannah seems to love the fall also. She loves to lie in the sun and chew on all the bark in the flower beds.

Here is Perry's new birthday present. He is very spoiled. Once mentioning a new car he was on the lookout. We were so fortunate to sell our Honda Passport in a week. ( or can we say a weekend). KSL cars really works. We had lots of calls and could have sold it several times.
Perry is a proud owner of a 2008 Honda Ridgeline. It was very well taken care of for a truck.
Hope we can keep it looking this good. The requirement was it fit into the garage. The owner turns a care in every 2 years. Of course a BYU hitch is important, thanks to Megan and Josh.

Wishing you all a great Thanksgiving Season. We all have so much to be grateful for. Start keeping a list and you will see. Brenda and Perry
