Thanksgiving or any get togethers with this bunch means games, more games, and fun! When we all get together the noise level is usually pretty high. Everyone talking and reminiscing all at the same time. I just sit back and savor the noise.

No get together would be complete without my requesting that "everyone come outside an let's get a group picture". I just love seeing the kids all together. Misty's home is the perfect backdrop for this Kodak moment.
There are no 4 children quite the same as these 4. They all are so unique and different, yet so much alike. They are all at different stages in their lives...Misty is a 4th grade school teacher at Freedom Elementary in St. Robert, Missouri. Her kids are 14 and 17 Kyla and Casey. Dustin has owned his Tattoo shop now for over 10 years and is very successful. Cory is in the Coast Guard presently stationed in Long Beach California. Pete just turned 28 and is the father of two active little boys Jack (3) and Jordi (1) stationed with the Air Force in Bellevue Nebraska. Even though they are light years apart in intersts and life, they get together and it is like time stood still, they are siblings with love and togetherness, what more could parents ask for?

| Never a dull moment with this bunch! |
Pete and Jenny added to the chaos of all of us descending on Misty's home by brining their cute new little puppy Riley for the visit. She was only 9 weeks old and a cute little stinker. Jack was learning to take the puppy for a walk, but I really think the puppy was the boss. The were really cute together.

Brandon seems to hold the title of Corn Hole King, ha! What a name for such a fun game. It comes from the Mid-west and is a really fun lawn game that our family has grown to love. Misty has a set and so do we, so whenever we get together "let the games begin".

| Anyone up for "Corn Hole"? |
We waited for the perfect day to pull out the Corn Hole game, and we were rewarded with the perfect sunny afternoon - after the big dinner. It was chilly for some of us but the competition was worth it. Go Misty!

| I will take away the title! |
Wow, looks like another really fun vacation for you guys. I am so envious of your family, they are so fun and such a great group. I hope it was also relaxing for you and that you did get some good one on one time with each of them. Love the picture of you and Kyla, she is so tall! And I like your hair!
