WE LOVE HALLOWEEN

THANKSGIVING (CANADIAN STYLE) WAS GREAT!! Now we can't wait for our American Thanksgiving.

We ate a great hearty turkey meal at Brig and Annie Youngs house. Brig is a fourth year dental student who works out with Jake in the mornings before school.

"Can I get some suction over here."  This is Travis Buxton, a 2nd year student, and his dental assistant Madison his daughter.  He did a great job at carving the turkey and ham.

"We have a root canal!"

 

We went picking apples in the Valley with the Richards, Taylors, and the Redds.  It was so much fun and now we have a 20 lb. bag of apples that we need to eat up!

After picking apples we went to a pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin for Jace.  He can't wait to turn it into a jack-o-lantern.

OUR WEEK

Happy Anniversary to us!  We can't believe that it has been FOUR years.  We had an amazing dinner on the waterfront and we would like to give a special thanks to our babysitters, Curtis and Jo Taylor and Julia Blakeney. 
Here is the ring I custom made for my dear wife.  Ok, so I didn't make it or pick it out for her but I did surprise her at 1 AM  in the morning by placing it on her finger and if you know Melese you know that that is a bad time to be doing anything but she was so excited and happy she didn't even realize it was so early in the morning.  We found the ring back home in Logan and I stuffed it away nice and protected so she wouldn't find it because she had no clue that I bought it for her.  Just the thought of her being excited and happy made the long day at school bearable.  She is the best Wife in the whole entire universe!
I learned on my mission to Italy that when in Rome do as the Romans.  I guess this works here as well, when in Canada play Hockey!  Jace gets so excited to play hockey with Daddy in the house.  I dare say that he is obsessed with hockey!  He loves to dress up in Daddy's gear and prance around the house smacking every wall in the way.  I just hope he keeps his excitement for hockey so he can play peewee league. 
              On ice or on asphalt you can be sure to see Jace playing hockey
Look at his perfect form when going after the ball.   I can see the Stanley Cup now sitting on our entertainment center.  GOOOOOOOOOO JACEY!!!!!!!!!!!! OLE! OLE! ( oh yea, that is soccer) GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

                  Mommy and Jace on the pier in Lunenburg
                 Father and Son, How precious
                    Jace listened to some good old fish stories for hours

You maybe wondering why our post is titled thanksgiving weekend and that is because as American/Canadians we get to celebrate Turkey Day TWICE!!!! God Bless the Turkey! So far we have traveled to a town called Lunenburg. It is on one of the top 1000 places to see before you die so we thought, WHAT THE HECK, LETS GO! It is known for its rich history in fishing and its amazing sailboat the Bluenose. The trees are starting to change and it made the trip very beautiful.  Happy Conference Weekend everybody
