The Day of Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving in Tennessee

Phoenix had her first Thanksgiving down in Tennessee.  She loved hanging out at the farm, riding dirt bikes, riding with Jefe, playing with Killer, and seeing Nannie and PaPa.  Phoenix had never been around any animals and she loved watching Killer.  Phoenix also loved all the attention from "Auntie" Emma and watching William and Jonathan on their bikes as they took each corner on two wheels.  There was a never ending supply of new toys from Jefe's auction that kept all the kids completely occupied.  We always love going to Tennessee and hanging out at Bebe's house. It is always so much fun!  And thanks to Dan we have some amazing pictures to remember the trip by. 

 

  

 

8 Months...Where does the time go??

Happy Halloween 

from the Pink Unicorn 

Texas Halloween

Due to the million tests, papers, and EMT shifts Sampson had to do (which = he is never home) I took Phoenix to Texas to spend Halloween with her cousin Brooke.  Brooke was so excited to see Phoenix that she repeatedly began to smack Phoenix on the head.  No worries Phoenix protected herself by stabbing Brooke with her horn :)

Out on the Boat

Yes it is November and yes we are still water-skiing.  Thanks to my die-hard father we continue to ski year around.  Phoenix loves to be on the boat especially when grandpa lets her help him drive.

After church one day  

Phoenix is sitting up for the first time all by herself (she fell over like a second after I took this picture)

My favorite picture of Sampson and Phoenix (yes he is chewing on a big piece of chicken....sick!)

What would Phoenix do without her two favorite things: her rubber ducky and her fist in her mouth???

The first football game of the season. Go Cougs!!

The Puzzle

The Giant Puzzle

In order to prevent Phoenix from bashing her head on the hardwood floor every time she rolls over we decided to buy her a giant foam puzzle.  The first time I put her on it she didn't know what to think with all the colors and textures.  She clawed at the foam for about 20 minutes before she realized that she could easily move and roll around now without hurting herself.

Sampson's Trip to Peru

The Impanque Family

Porcon
Sampson went to Peru at the end of Summer term for Southern Cross.  He traveled for 16 hours on a bus to Cajamarca in Northern Peru.  He then traveled on a dirt road for about 2 hours to Porcon where he taught the people there how to rappel and rock climb.  Hopefully these new skills will help to boost the tourism in that area
