Thanksgiving

Papa & Andrew in their new matching shirts. Andrew idolizes Papa and was thrilled that they had the same shirt.

Riding together.

Always looking to Papa for what to do next.

Teaching Moment.

One of my favorite things is listening to my dad play the guitar.

Obviously it was for the boys too.


Jacob loves the horses too. It won't be long until him and Andrew are both Papa's little shadows.

Andrew was so good at holding onto Jacob.

My little cowboy!

For Thanksgiving we headed north to be with my family. My brother and his family also came down from Utah. It is always great when we can all get together. Unfortunately I was so stinking sick that I wasn't up for much. Thanks to Kyle and my entire family for taking good care of me and the boys. So we didn't do a whole lot. But of course the was much horse riding going on. It was cold and wet but as soon as we got there Andrew started working Papa. He was a broken record asking to ride. Papa kept saying tom. when the weather would be nicer but a 3 year old does not get nor care about that statement. It didn't take long before Papa gave in and they were out on the horses. Both boys have a great time around the horses and I am so glad they are not scared of them. If we lived closer to my parents Andrew would probably move in them. The look he has in his eyes when he looks at my dad is amazing to me. You can just see the admiration there. He will just follow Papa around and mimick exactly everything he does. Even though I was crashed out everyone seemed to have a good time and it was great to see everyone. Hopefully next time I will be able to enjoy it too.
