Holiday

Lately I have done a terrible job on keeping our blog up to date. A lot has been going on. For one, my mom was in a terrible biking accident. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital to find she had a broken collar bone, a few cuts and scrapes and the biggest bruise that I had ever seen. She had a hard time doing anything by herself for the first couple days. This has made me realize what it will be like when she is old and cant take care of herself. I have had to dress her and I do her hair everyday. It really isn't a problem, she does so much for us. She is slowly recovering but she is doing much better.
We had a wonderful thanksgiving break. Dashley, Ryanne and Ben came down for the holidays. Everything seems to be so much more fun when the family is all together. I cant wait till we all live close by and we don't have to wait so long to see each other.
The day after Thanksgiving we headed over to Carlsbad, New Mexico for my Grandpa Shakey's funeral. We had a wonderful time. The service was great and my dad gave us a tour of the town he grew up in. It was well worth the drive.
At the funeral.
On the way up over to Carlsbad, Devyn and are were constantly holding hands.
This is Dad(Mean Greene) on his high school football field.
His high school looks more like a comunity college. Unusual for such a small town!
After seeing the football field the guys needed to show their skills. top to bottom left to right: Trevor was having a hard time admitting that he wasn't the tallest in the family. I think that Nate might have him beat. Ashley is practicing writing her name. Ben is posing like Nate. Ashley is posing like Dallin. Ari is doing blast off. Ari is holding Dev a little too tight. Ben is obessessed with BYU football. He actually wore his BYU shirt under his church clothes at the funeral for good luck while BYU was playing. It worked! Ari and Trevor sleeping. AND Ry, Trev and Wes riding in the car.
Turkey Bowl! The guys in our family and Brad would not stop wrestling. Craziness!

It looks like Nate is dancing by kicking his leg over Bens head.

Hey Britt! That is so funny that you are living at your parents house because we are living at mine as well! haha. Our parent's just can't get rid of us. To be honest, I actually love it and will be sad when we move into a house.

We definitely need to get together. Tell your mom hi & to get better. That is too scary!
