Hanging Out In New Mexico:)

First of all, I hope you all had a great Christmas! Kade and I had a wonderful Christmas hanging out with all the family! We played rock band and hung out with his family and we had a yummy dinner and exchanged white elephant gifts with my family. I love when the entire famiy is there because there is always lots of noise, a few babies crying and its just a wonderful, crazy setting that I wouldn't trade for the world!!!!! My favorite part of our Christmas dinner was the Christmas slush! MM MM! My mom does this slush drink that is so dang good and it always makes me think of past Christmas's when we would do a big dinner with my cousins and my grandparents. It was great hanging out with Kade's family too, I was actually getting the hang of the guitar on rock band!!! hehe!

So now here we are in New Mexico. As some of you already know, Kade's precious little monte carlo decided it was tired of Kade driving it to fast and it finally died. So we have uno car that we are driving. The search has been on for a 2nd vehicle for quite some time now and we finally found what we wanted...........in Albuquerque New Mexico. So we decided that we would come and stay with Kade's dad because he is currently working in New Mexico, and then just pick the car up on monday and drive back. So today is a relax day........something that seems few and far between these days, as I'm sure you all feel like that:) So Happy Sunday everyone! And Happy New Years too:)!!!
Kade kinda looks like he is asleep, hmm, pretending to read the Ensign hu??!!!

A little R&R baby!!!!!

Paintballing for Thanksgiving!!!

Oh boy!! Thanksgiving is always a blast when there is some paint and guns involved!!!! This is the crew!!! Kade's family (along with lots of friends) always do paintball the day after Thanksgiving. And there is always someone who ends up very welted!!! I think Cody took the brunt end of the welts and the the little guy Dallas was the cause of the damage! Don't under estimate the little ones!! hehe!!! Lacey had some nice purple spots adorning her arm as well. Good times I tell ya!!!

Also our Thanksgiving day was wonderful. We had the opportunity to spend the day with the Cook side, and I have to say I love love love my mom's Turkey! Oh my! I have bragging rights on her! Anyone who has tasted it, will agree with me! :) And ofcorse we all ate to much!

I've decided I have a theory on the eating to much, I think we all intend on not overeating, but there are to many dishes to choose from that we just have to try a bit of everything, so hence, we eat to much! Which also does not leave any room for "what you like best and are saving room for, and want more of". hehe! Oh well, its once a year right!!!! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday!

This is Cody's nice hickey..........or welt!!! hehe!
The battle is on!!!

This is Lacey Lou, in a perfect battle stance!

And Camacita!!!!! Woot woot! What a gal!

I love this pic of Kade and Camie! So cute!!!

How could something so pretty, be so.........dangerous!!! :)

Who needs to see, really!!!?? Its just a game! Jeeeez!!

Um, aparently, the proper equipment was not worn that day! (They were playing revolutionary war!!!!)

Kade, in action! He looks deadly, but really, in a tickle match he is more dangerous! I'm serious! He will squash you in a second! Just a big ball of solid mass and muscle............scarey!!!
