Out of Storage Space?

So today I went to post and blog about our Thanksgiving and I was informed that I have reached my limit of photo space.  Has anyone else had this happen?

Girls Night Out, Blazer Game, Piano Competition, Temple ReDedication

We had a fun weekend. It started Friday night when Kacie and I went with Tara, Maria, Lori, Sheree and Jen Thomas to see Breaking Dawn part 2. We all loved it! I think I need to read the book again because I don't quite remember the ending being the same, but I loved how the movie did it. haha  After the movie we went out to eat at Tacos Mi Ranchero.  It was a fun evening!



Scott went with Steve to watch Tyler play in their state football game at Scappoose.  Friday night they went to a Portland Trailblazer game.  He said it was awesome because they won in overtime.  Scott has always been a huge Blazer fan ever since he was a little boy listening to their games on the radio.

Saturday morning Kacie played in a piano competition at TVCC.  I thought she did really well for only knowing it for about 3 to 4 weeks.  She got a red ribbon.  Brady kept telling me we were going to see the waterfall, but I didn't know what he was talking about until we got there.  I had completely forgot that this was there.
 Saturday night Kacie got to go to the Youth Cultural Celebration with the prophet (Thomas S. Monson.) for the rededication of the Boise temple.  Because she isn't 14 yet she didn't get to dance and sing but she was able to attend.  When I picked her up she was so excited about it, I was thrilled.  She talked on and on about how neat it was.  Brady and I went with Mom and Dad to watch it via satellite at the Stake Center.  I have to admit it was pretty cool even watching it on a big TV screen.  All the Boise temple district youth were in attendance which they say was about 9200 kids.  They did some amazing dances and skits.  I loved the group that reenacted a play from BSU at the Fiesta Bowl to Chariots of Fire.  It was cute! Brady was even sad when it was over.  He loves this kind of stuff too! I was amazed how quietly he watched it.
You can see Brook and Brittany in this picture...
Sunday we went to the dedication.  It was awesome! You could feel the spirit really strong.  I loved seeing President Monson in a different setting than at conference.  And I loved hearing Kacie say how much she liked the talks!  After we went to eat at Gerald and Wanda's.  It was a great Sunday!

November 9th-12th

Friday Night we invited Tommy and Tara's family over to eat pizza and play games.  It was fun!

Saturday morning Brady and I went to Cabela's to do a little shopping for Scott and to pick up Brandon for a couple of days.  Brady loved seeing all the animals.  When we were checking out we ran into Tayrn and Dedre and their family.  It was good to see them for a little bit.

Brandon did pretty good this weekend.  We kept him until Monday.  Sunday after church Scott grilled some tri-tip for Steve and then he took some family pictures of us.  I think we might have one or two that we can work with.  That night we went into Steve's house to get the pictures and we visited with Great Grandma for a little while.  Mallory and Jocie spent the night as well so we had a full house.  Monday Mom and I tried to take some Senior pictures of Brandon and then I took him home.  After Kacie, Jocey and I did a little shopping.  They got some boots and sweatshirts at Aeropostle that are the same but different colors.  They looked cute.  We then dropped Jocey off at gymnastics and then Kacie had to go to piano lessons. It was a fun weekend!
Such a cute girl!!!

Celebrating Kaylin's Birthday

Love the Falls Colors!


 I love decorating for the fall...I purchased the cute pumpkins from Taylor (Peterson) Vickers.
 Kacie and Scott as we were walking into the Stake Center for Stake Conference.
 Celebrating Kaylin's birthday we went down to the cemetery and set off balloons!  I sure miss her!

 Braxton found this beautiful butterfly in memory of Kaylin.


It was fun that Tommy and Tara met us with their kids.

Happy Halloween

Ryan, Lindsay, Taylor, Tyson and Brady



 It was a different Halloween for us going to the Nyssa church.  I preferred the Owyhee ward better so we might have to switch back next year.  And we didn't make it to Great Grandma's house which I was really disappointed about.  She went to the Boise temple open house, I was really glad she was able to do that though.
 beautiful girls!


 Tessa, Abigal and Kailani...too cute!

 I think Taylor enjoyed handing out the candy more than walking around trying to collect it.
 We went to Nyssa Garden's for the first time.


 Ryan is constantly trying to steal Kacie's cell phone so he can text Steele.  He just likes to torment him by saying "Hi" over and over.
Kacie has had a lot of fun reading Scott's journals from when he was a kid.
