Family/Fighting/Food/Fun/Grandpa of the Year


These pictures are out of order, but I don't feel like rearranging them... are too many. Just deal with it. This is my picture getting in my car to go home... it was such a bee-yoo-tiful night. To end a beautiful trip.

Here is Keili playing with Sariahs littlest pet shop. She looks so innocent... WELL... she's not.
Alex playing with everyone's dirty shoes. Of course... what else would a crawlin' baby be doing!
Sariah... on the attack. These two are either holding hands cuddling, or beating each other up. The perfect Love/Hate brother sister relationship.
Sarah and I braved the Black Friday madness. It was quite entertaining to say the least. All Sarah wanted was a pig for Sariah. And... she got it. It was so funny. She was digging through the pets and gets down and goes "Tahnee!!!! There's a pig back there." I said "Well get up there and get it. Climb on up!!! I got the camera."
Here is Rustin taking the kids for a ride in the beefed up 4 wheeler/trailer. They loved it. If the kids didn't already LOVE Grandma and Grandpa's they sure do now!

Bubba and Sariah... awe... cute...

THis is funny. Look at Davey in the back about to pick on Miley... Talk about caught in the act, and Sariah... she is enjoying the little things . She looks so free...
This is my favorite part of the whole weekend.... These next two pictures are after eating Thanksgiving dinner. We are arguing... Men vs Women about whether or not Twilight/Jacob/Edward are girl porn. LOL!!!! It was so funny. Talk about raised voices. Dave/Rustin/Rob all think that "romance" is the same thing to women as naked women are to men. GIVE ME A BREAK. It was so funny, there was lots of yelling, but lots of laughing too. We just decided that Men are insecure and that is why they hate Jacob and Edward. NOT because of Jacobs rippling biceps and freaking hot body, and amazingly amazing protectiveness and need I go on.

These are my Lion House Rolls. I made them... from scratch, from the Lion house recipe. They actually turned out good. The first pan burned a little on the bottom, We are calling them "Spurs" rolls. Not because the burnt bottom is like a spur... but because they sucked... like the San Antonio Spurs (also Rustin's favorite team). These are Jazz rolls. AMAZING!!!
Getting ready to put all the food out.
The turkey... we cooked it in the dutch oven... it was AMAZING!!!
Dad taking the kids for a ride. They love the 4 wheeler, and Grandpa.

And I qoute... Uhem... "I will gut you with this knife!" YES... my very own dear loving brother said that to me. I didn't even do anything... I was being pleasant. Loving. Cheerful. Kind. Awesome. Just as usual.
The kids getting ready to go.
And the award goes to Grandpa Nielsen for GRANDPA OF THE YEAR!!!!!

Okay... this is freaking hilarious. Look at Bubba on Grandpa's neck (it's the only place left for a bum) it's like he thinks he is flying. Okay... see that tree branch they are about to go under...


Bubba grabbed onto it... pulling him backwards, Dad grabbed him and he flung foward... look at Dad's hat. LOL!
Bubba... getting a talking to by his Mom. Now he's ready to go again. It was so funny. We were all s hocked and laughing at the same time.
See... he did good. No more grabbing things.


Davey wanted to drive. It didn't really happen. He tried his hardes to talk Grandpa into letting him drive around... but too many cars. A bus. other kids. Ya know... it's a no brainer.
Cute. This is Sarah and Bubba. He loves himself some Sarah.
Our Turkey cooking.

And now the horse rides. Here is Keili and Miley.
Davey and Sariah.
Bubba. Waving backwards.
I thought this one was cute. The sun is too bright one the left side, but what a cute bubba.
Sariah.
Keili
LOL! This is Miley. She HAD to have that backpack. Which is way too big for her, not to mention the kind that is supposed to roll on the ground. It's so huge, but she had to have it. That and notice her bottle on the side.
Mindy and Abby.

It was such a fun trip. It was fun to have everyone there. We even talked to Misty. It happened to be during the Edward/Jacob porn debate, but hey... Happy Thanksgiving/Family Get together. I love my family. They are all so awesome. I also bought the New Moon game at the black friday sale and Sarah, Nic, My Mom, and Myself all indulged in our so called "girl porn" for a couple hours on Friday afternoon. Rustin was whining... but he got over it.

  2. How fun!! It looks like you had a great Thanksgiving weekend with your family. I think the guys are all jealous at how "ripped" Jacob is, they have to complain about something to make them feel better!! Ha Ha

  3. First of all, I definitely agree with you that romance, in general, is NOT porn. Porn is destructive and evil. Romance is a fantasy, yes, but - again in general - it doesn't inspire the same level of lust and degradation as porn. Not the same. Secondly, where are Misty and Brad living? Still down south?
