Vegas!


                   Happy Thanksgiving!! (a little late I know!!) 
  
     It's been a while since my last post and I am sick of the Halloween pictures! We spent the last week in Las Vegas visiting Steve's parents for Thanksgiving! We had a great trip! Hayden did pretty well on the drive, he got a little fussy the last 45 min or so, but all in all not too bad! We had a great week just hanging out with family and eating lots of tasty food! 

It was mostly warm enough to wear shorts!! (Ok that was maybe pushing it a little but it was still pretty warm!) 

Hayden is pretty mobile at this point! Which made a little more work for me! The little stinker loves to push buttons and take remotes!! 
Of course we watched a lot of football! And when I say a lot I mean that is pretty much all we watched! My sister-in-law and I tried to convince Steve's dad to make a deal, we would watch football with him if he would watch the Hills with us! Lets just say he did not go for it! We did manage to squeeze in a few episodes of John and Kate plus 8! We thought we should ease him into girl shows slowly! :)
Steve got a chance to expose Hayden to some "culture"! He he he! Here is to hoping someday we have a house big enough to fit a piano! But for now Grams' Piano will have to do! 
Hayden got his first taste of Cheese Cake Factory pumpkin cheescake! Grams was nice enough to share hers with him, even though it was HER birthday cake and he ate more of it than she did!! 
A little family photo on Hayden's first Thanksgiving!! He seemed to enjoy himself, but was not cooperating for the pictures! Oh well! 

 Just in case you were wondering where Hayden gets his blue eyes from....Grandpa! It is pretty crazy they have almost the exact same eyes! 
Our new Thanksgiving tradition!! The Turkey Bundt cake!!! It was a little harder to do then the picture on the pan made it appear! But Next year I will know better tricks! So if you get a 3-D turkey cake on your porch you will know where it is from!! Rob and Jess...I think you will be first!! :)(Thanks for helping me make it jess!! what a night! he he he!) Sorry I don't know how to rotate a picture! 
                                                                   my cute boys! 

                                            Now on to Christmas!! Woo Woo!!

Ha ha.. The turkey bundt! The best $5.88 you have ever spent. I still can't believe that after all of those hours of work, we only ate the tail. Dang buttercream. I can't wait for my turkey next year!

Your little family is adorable! I love the pic of Steve and Hayden at the piano! It's those types of moments you can smile and realize how lucky you are. I had no idea you were so domesticated making turkey bundt cakes...impressive!! I love your blog and being able to keep in touch better!

p.s. as for the pics not rotating the right way...i had to rotate them and then save them on my computer upright before uploading them to blogger :( what a pain i know, but it works. Good luck!
