Thanksgiving was great spending time with my family. I had all 3 of my grandsons with me this year. That made my day extra special.  Missed my boys... can't wait to see them soon.
We always start our day going to pick up our turkey at the Hawkins's who pit BBQ's them. The meat in the  pan is a whole pig that they BBQed.  The turkey always tastes so good!!!

      It's always fun when you are old enough to get to go up in the bucket on the tractor.

                   Fun with Grandpa on the 4 wheeler!

My brothers horses!!  I enjoy going to the farm and seeing the animals.   

                        My brothers goats... I love the one sticking his tongue out. So funny!

The Union Pacific steam train is commemorating Arizona's centennial, and is touring the Valley this weekend. This morning Jacob and I went up the street to where it was going to stop in Gilbert to see it.  Here are a few pictures that I took.  There were too many people right next to the tracks to get a good one without anyone in it.  This first picture I didn't take (got it from the azcentral on facebook)  but the rest are my pictures.

It was a rainy day today.... this afternoon I decided to go to my favorite park and take pictures.
Just thought I would share some.

Tonight I needed to go to the grocery store and when I pulled into the parking lot this was the veiw I had. It would have been better if I didn't have to shoot around the building and all the cars in the parking lot.  But the colors were beautiful!

This last Friday night Jake and I went over to Jodi's house to see the boys in their Halloween Costumes and to go with them to their Trunk or Treat at their ward building.  I didn't take a lot of pictures but here are a few.

Pictures I took at Saguaro Lake and the river. Had a FUN day!!!
(wish I were a better photographer...maybe one of these day)
