We made the long drive to St. George, Utah for Thanksgiving. I love that place. And my parents and Cameron's brother Bret both live there (along with lots of aunts, uncles and cousins). We stayed at my parents house along with my brothers, Russell and Ryan and my sister, Melisa and their families. Thanksgiving was filled with lots of fun and food. My parents were kind enough to invite Bret's family to join us for the fiestivities. Collin spent lots of time with his favorite cousins- Corbin and Conner (sadly they were so busy neither Barbara or I got a picture of them together). Cameron went on a 4 wheeler ride with Bret and the boys hunting after deer (not to kill) just for his hunting dogs to practice I think. We also went out to my moms families corral and road horses and 4 wheelers and roasted marshmallows out there. The boys went out to the family ranch in Arizona took do some target practice and shoot clay pigeons. My brother Ryan gets the bragging rights for best shot with all the guns they had - shot gun, pistol and rifle? Of course I managed to get a little shopping in but not much since I would have to get home whatever I bought and keep it hidden. We had a great time down there and enjoyed the warmer weather that they get there! Here are some of the highlights of our time there (backwards since I don't want to rearrange).

Yea! Welcome back to the blogging world. You were missed. Looks like a great time in Saint George with all the family. The kids look great. Your mom and dad look great too! Thanks for the post.
Hey - it's fun to see pictures of your mom and dad, etc. It looks like a great time.
I'm sad we missed all the fun there...looks like everyone had a good time. Although Collin doesn't look so thrilled in the top picture. I didn't miss the long drive-that was the big reason we didn't come.
I'm so excited...I was afraid you had given up blogging! Your Thanksgiving looks wonderful--I'm jealous of anyone who has lots of cousins for their kids. Your kids are so beautiful--I love how you do the girls' hair.
I wish I was there. Maybe next time.
