Thanksgiving Travelogue-Days 1 and 2 (I wish I could make it funny/interesting, but I’m not very good at that.

We stopped half-way in Winnemucca, NV and stayed the night. We got upgraded to a suite because our room was given to someone else. Sweet!

Thank heavens for DVD players. The kids did not sleep in the car, but they did watch like 10 movies. We only stopped once in Reno the first day and once in Elko the second day.  I can’t complain though, they were REALLY good on the way there.

A beautiful sunset-near Jackpot, NV  We made it to Twin Falls around dinner time and went straight to Tami’s little preschool Thanksgiving celebration at the church. (no pictures were taken there.)

YAY! We finally made it to Twin Falls! (Well, Kimberly really)

It wasn’t quite as cold as I thought it would be. The kids went and played outside without coats. Kids don’t seem to get cold. I, on the other hand, kept at least 2 layers on at all times. BRRR!

Wed. we went to a jump house and it was so much fun! Aren’t these some good looking kids?  We definitely got a good workout at this place. It was so worth the $! 

For some reason, I didn’t get any pictures of Elijah???

Even the adults went down the slides and bouncers. Here’s Tami going down with her boys. HA! Since this is my blog, I don’t have to post any pictures of myself! 

Here’s a cute one of Tessa.a cute Corom. The bounce houses have a weight limit for a reason right?  Julio had a heck of a time getting up the ladder to go down this slide. He tried again and again and even fell and twisted his ankle. But, he was determined, and he finally made it up there and here he is coming down!

More on the trip to come…

Tessa-6 months

Our baby is growing up! I am enjoying her so much. She is such a sweet and pleasant baby. This month she has hit some new milestones. She has started eating baby food, can sit up for a few seconds, rolls around on the floor, she babbles. She’s starting to recognize faces and preferring her people (Mom, Dad, brother and sisters.)  She likes to be moved around a lot. So she’ll go from the spinner, to the floor, to being held, to her highchair. She hasn’t been napping much during the day lately, but she usually sleeps well at night. She had her shots last week and didn’t get feverish this time around. She still doesn’t have any teeth. She weighs 13 lbs. 6 oz.-she’s tiny-only 5th percentile. Hopefully with her new baby food she’ll gain weight.
