THANKSGIVING WEEK!! Eagar style...

I collected pictures from everyone--so this is a LONG post, but it will give you a glimpse of what we all did together!
Our Thanksgiving Week started on Tuesday with Mark's family arriving! On Wed. morning LaVerl got the fire pit going to cook our Thanksgiving Turkeys!!


 He put 15 turkeys in the pit this year and they all came out perfect!
 The wind was howling so it was keeping the coals HOT!!

 Baby Lilly's 1st Thanksgiving!! We are all so Thankful
for her!!!

Little Wembley, so adorable, just turned 1 year old and she is walking and getting around enough that we had to put up the safety gate to keep her from falling down the basement stairs!


 Helping Gpa get in wood. It was COLD & WINDY
the whole time everyone was here!!
 Kaemon learned how to drive the 4-wheeler!
Lisa posted this picture on Facebook, but I wanted to
share it too.
 The kids went up to Milligan to shoot skeet.



 Lisa showed me a big bruise she got on her shoulder after shooting this gun!

Its 'No Shave November' so all my boys are looking rough!! 



Oh baby Lilly, you are so CUTE!!

 Bath time in Gma's big tub!!

 The kids played and played! Cousins are so much fun!!
 Even with the wind howling, we got some trees cut out of pallets! Holly's great idea!! Her and Becki and Lisa all took home 3 trees each!!
 Dad's BIG skill saw bound up when hitting a nail and knocked out a 100 amp breaker to the house and the power went out!
 What our guys won't do for us!!
 Wembley is just so cute, she's always getting her picture taken!



 This picture cracks me up!! Yes, we are blessing the food!! And who took the picture???
 The bigger grandkids got to sit at their own table!
 BRING ON THE FOOD!


And Ivory! She is so precious! She calls me and Gpa
both "a Baca". She'll walk by and say, "Hi Baca!" Look at that cute face and who wouldn't be happy with chocolate all over it?

 GO COUGARS!! Saturday BYU played two games, both football and basketball and WON both!!  It was a happy day for the fans!!

We ate LOTS of good food, we played 5 Crowns, Sequence, Battlemasters, Go Fish, Crazy 8's and Old Maid. We watched movies until after midnight most nights. We talked and relaxed together. We had a great time! We missed ALL who weren't here with us!!

MORE of El Paso and grandkids

Nov. 18-23
Being with my cute grandkids that I don't get to see very much was pretty fun. Being only 5 1/2 hours away, I need to go more often!! 
Off to school early Thursday morning.

For Thanksgiving the school invited parents to come have lunch with their kids. Zallen had his little turkey hat on. He could've cared less if I came!

Milea was looking for me and was glad I came. I had to leave her and go and get Bolden from preschool, then came back and we had
lunch with Kaemon.




 
 When the kids are still in school, Bo konks out when he gets home.
 When Milea gets home from school, she starts cooking!
 Kaemon plays with his millions of legos!

 They all like to watch 'cooking shows' and then they make up their own food with me being the judge!
 They are all pretty creative, well Bolden had play dough stuck in
the bottom of his cup for his milkshake! (hehe)

 More real cooking! Little crepes this time!
 Saturday Zallen had his soccer party at Chuck e Cheese!
 They even had a band!!



It was a pretty fun 5 days spent with Mark & Kids and I think Holly got to enjoy being with her Mom & sister too.  We'll be seeing them all  in a couple days for Thanksgiving too!!!

Off again to El Paso, TX

We just got home from Dallas on Monday and we came home to SNOW! We worked in the temple on Tuesday, then Wed. Nov. 18th, I headed to El Paso, TX to help watch Mark & Holly's kiddos.  Its a 5 1/2 hour trip, which I drove myself with NO radio or anything in the car, but I made it! Kaemon had a scout pack meeting which I went to with all the boys and Holly took Milea to her choir concert.

 They were having their 'Rain Gutter Regatta', so that was fun. I remember our boys racing their boats in REAL rain gutters!!
 Zallen-  I forgot my camera and my tablet doesn't 
take that great of pictures! Bolden was running around somewhere!
 Kaemon's 'Speed Demon'.  He did well, he raced 4 races
and won 3! 
 Their scout master explaining the rules.

 "GO and Blow!"

Being at the pack meeting reminded me of our 4
little boys and all the fun we had with them at Scouts!
