HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We went to big ol burley idaho to spend thanksgiving with my mom and grandparents. It's different being up there because my mom is only child so we are the only cousins. The first couple nights we stayed at Grandma Dayce's which is always so much fun and amazingly good food for every meal. On black friday we went to wal mart at about 3 in the afternoon and there were like 20 people there, nothing like everywhere else where people were getting trampled and shot at. Then we went to an even bigger town called gooding, its about 30 or 40 miles from twin falls. It was a nice break until we all started getting sick. McKoy was the first one to start throwing up, then the next day Grandpa leonard and my mom got sick, then the next day, Grandma Dayce, me and casey caught it, We had to have Kole drive home cause neither of us could stop puking long enough drive. Thanks to Brock and Lindsay for letting Caselyn ride with them so that we had one less person to take care of. Then when we got home sunday night caselyn was throwing up. And now it has gone through casey's entire family. Kole had it monday and Andie got it too... It's like some magic contagious super bug. AND IT IS AWFUL! But we are all back to normal, we should start placing bets on who is going to get it next. But that's not the worst thing that happened. On sunday night we pulled into our driveway at about ten o'clock exhausted from the drive home and just wanting to crawl into bed.... we opened the door..... and our water heater was gushing water..... EVERYWHERE!!!!! Our living room carpet was soaked and our wood floor ruined! Casey had to take monday off work to pull up the carpet and the pad and try to stop mold from growing. Well we called our insurance and they sent some people out who proceeded to tear up our wood floors and drill holes into the dry wall, cut holes in the living room floor, and place ten very loud industrial fans throughout our house. We have now had the fans for 2 nights and will have them through the weekend, and they have to be running at all times. We did end up getting some money from the insurance to have the floors replaced but I don't know if this will all be taken care of before christmas, which sucks! We may not even be able to put a christmas tree this year. So if any of you know someone who can lay wood floors let me know. At first I was fuming mad and complaining why us, why right before christmas? But it really has turned out to be a blessing, we will probably actually have a little extra money to buy christmas presents or a new dishwasher or new countertops. So... I'm thankful that my water heater leaked. I'm also thankful for my Father in law- Brad the Barber cause he has been down at my house helping with the clean up, and had a guy fix the water heater and is going to have someone re-install the carpet after he has it cleaned. I'm also thankful for my Dad for waiting at my house while they service master guys tore it apart, and for DeAnn feeding us since we don't have a kitchen and for Chiara and everyone I work with for listening to me complain. And for everyone else in my family who has helped or listened! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

LINDS!! Why didn't you call me?? I was just down the road. In fact, my father in law went to Burley the day after Thanksgiving...I would have gone too had I known you were there. Dang it. Miss you!!
Hey Linds! Well it looks like you and your family had a good Thanksgiving, minus the being sick part, bummer. We didnt go to Burley this time around, my in-laws came to Boise and my parents went to Moscow to see Chanc, Randy and little A-man. I will get on that for you to get access to Chanc's blog..I talk to her everyday, you think I would remember. I will write it down and get it done! Hopefully we can catch each other while you're in Idaho, we will be there Christmas Eve, day and then that following day- (24-26th) Manuel has to work on the 27th, so we need to get back to Boise. Your children are so cute, I love the heading for your blog, the picture is adorable. Hope your doing well!!
