A Happy Thanksgiving

Every year the boys go turkey hunting the day before Thanksgiving (they never catch anything, but at least they try). This year they decided that Jeff was going to go with them (poor Jeff). Yesterday when Jeff got here they wouldn't stop talking about turkey hunting with Jeff. They all sat done and decided that "if" they catch a turkey they won't kill it. They said that they will bring it home and it will be our Thanksgiving mascot. Funny...but at least they won't kill it(even if they don't catch anything.) So they left last night at 6:30. Of course they didn't catch any thing, but at least they tried. They came home and went in the back yard to see if they hear any turkey noise. They sat out there for about an hour. Then they came in sad because they didn't catch any thing, then they made their way to bed. We cooked most of the dinner on Tuesday and Wednesday. Mama put the turkey in at 8:00 this morning. We were planing to eat at 2:00, but the food wasn't done on time. We had lots of fun. The Silva's, our Aunt and Uncle and and our Aunt's family came over. I had lots of fun playing with Alisia. The boy's played with their friends. And we all had a Happy Thanksgiving.
And I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving too.

Today's Highlights

Tonight Shyloh & Shelbie got highlights. I only got pictures of Shyloh,but it was funny watching Shelbie to. Mama & Aunt Lynette did Shylohs hair. They put a cap on her head and got little crochet hook and put them thought the holes on the cap and pulled her hair though. After they did that Mama put some highlight stuff on her hair. Then Mama put a bag on her head for 10 minutes. Then she washed her hair and let it dry. I didn't get a picture of after it was done,but it is very pretty. Shelbie didn't get the cap because she only wanted a few highlights. She was worried that it wouldn't turn out. This is her first time getting highlights. Her hair is very pretty to.

Going on a trip to the apple farm & columbia

Wednesday the 5th we went to the apple farm. Daddy and I played football catch, and all of us looked at the ducks and the chickens. There were 2 goats. One looked like Lucy, and the next one did not look like Ricky, but they were cute. We also saw 2 cats, a baby cat and a mommy cat. Shaylah picked up the baby cat and Shayden picked up the mommy cat. We held them for a little bit and then we let them go. The mommy cat ran across the road and the baby cat ran under our car. But it came out. Then it ran by it's mom. And then a big bird flew down and tried to get it and we said, it is a hawk! But the baby cat got away.

Then we left to go to Columbia. At Columbia there are big rocks and we played on them for a long time. We found 4 tunnels, 6 ways to go up, and 3 ways to go down. And we got candy. And then we left.

Bass Pro Shop

A couple days ago we went to the Bass Pro Shop. It is a big store in Manteca. There are a couple games there. There are two floors and two elevators and stairs. And when you go down stairs there is a water fall that you can go under. Next to the water fall is a big fish tank with lots of fish in it. And all over the store are lots of stuffed animals. We petted a stuffed bear and fox and lots more. There were some animals that scared Poppet and Lolly. We also got popcorn. It was very fun.
YOU HAVE GOT TO GO THERE!

Shylie's first bath

Today SHYLIE had her first bath. She was born two weeks ago. Today her umbilical cord fell off so she could get all wet so she got her first bath. First Mama put her in the sink and washed her body. Then Mama wrapped her up and washed her hair. She didn't cry when Mama washed her hair. It was cute. She cried a lot when Mama put her whole body in the water. She was really loud. But she was so cute. I love her. She's not going to have a nickname like Poppet and Lolly. Their real name is Shaynah and Shallyn. We just call them the nickname.
