Thanksgiving Take:2

 Thanksgiving Weekend at The Noble's 2020

Mom and Dad aka Gma and Gpa Noble and the Turkey with all the yummo trimmings!

We spent Thanksgiving with the Noble's this year. It was great to see everyone, it seemed like it had been such a LOOONNNGGG time since we had gotten together!

The Youngest Two lil ones, Dylan and DeeAnnah.

It's always nice to see Mary, then there is Tyler and Rylee who had just been through a literal whirlwind deploying from the Navy, quarantining, moving to Texas with all of everything that goes along with that like the small factor of buying and selling homes and then getting themselves and their fam to Idaho for Thanksgiving....Makes me tired just thinking of it all, but all's well that ends well- I received notification via mom that they had safe travels via a rental car to pull the boat back from Idaho to Texas the week after Thanksgiving. Long hours and driving in the car with three little ones, I can only imagine how incredibly happy they probably were to make it back to their new home! Now they will have time to unpack their new place and to get their Christmas on :)

The place settings that we brought for everyone, I love supporting the etsy small businesses and these were the CUTEST!

Play Time. 

And that's a wrap! A fun weekend full of family, food, socializing, shopping, games and more food!

Over the weekend, we made time to play a bit of bowling at Triple Play, they are far less strict in Idaho than they are in Wash state in relations to the mask wearing so we took advantage of it while we could!

Jarom won on one side (and beat Matt which instilled bragging rights :) then Bre won on the other side.

The WOLF LODGE STEAK HOUSE

We promised all the older kids for awhile that we would treat them to a good steak at The Wolf Lodge so we decided to also treat Grandpa since we all know that Gpa can appreciate a good steak also!

Loving the Fresh Rolls with homey butter AND

When in The Rocky Mountains...Why NOT do the ROCKY MOUTAIN OYSTER CHALLENGE?! Both Bre and Spencer took up on the challenge, Spencer scored himself $100.00 for eating three and Bre had 1.5 for $35.00 I believe.

This STEAK was SOOOOO GOOD!

A great dinner with good company!

Josh is FOURTEEN-14-!!

November 10, 2020

Here's Josh in between classes online, we picked up Dairy Queen (DQ) for lunch for him, he loves pretzels and pretzel sticks so we got him some of those, with plain cheeseburgers and you guessed it Rootbeer! 

Josh had Young Men's up at the church in the evening (back in between Covid-Regulations here in WA state when we were allowed to have youth night for a short time.) The boys all had a nerf gun war for their activity. Josh is the Teachers Quorum President and he was excited for this one! We went to the store earlier in the day where Josh picked out a new X-box game- a motor cycle one also nerf bullets and then we put goodie bags together for him to share with the guys in his quorum after as a refreshment. (He choose rootbeer, kit kats, coca cola gummies and slim jims...all of his FAVS :)

After Young Mens night, we picked up Papa John's pizza for dinner and had a fam b-day night to finish off the b-day celebrating. Josh got quite a few things that he had wanted to add to his ATV Quad for his bday this year, he had sent mom over quite a few items on ebay that were on his "wish list". Golly, those parts are not cheap...these boys put more into the bikes than they cost to begin with! I guess it's a hobby and it keeps his mind and hands moving to work on his wheels, so it's all relevant! Anyways, Josh was a very happy camper to open all of his parts and additions that he will add to his bike out in the garage and ATV trailer. He does like to work with his tools, such a hands on kid for sure!

Love you and wishing you all the best this 14th year of life Mr Josh!

 

Halloween DAY, the 2020 WAY!

October 31, 2020

For Halloween this year, Brooklynne was a Vampire and Saydee was Ariel The Little Mermaid. We still did the trick-or-treating thing out in Orting even though it was a tad bit different this year. There were many families who just set candy out in buckets or on tables outside their homes to help aid with the whole social-distancing Covid thing while others used tube shoots to drop the candy into the kids buckets and bags and then there were some who just handed out candy from doors as usual.

Here's our kids with the Bennett Family neighbor kids when they came to trick or treat.

Ellie dressed up like an Alien before heading off to Gravity to work Halloween evening.

Thanks to filters, Matt and I dressed up this year.

Our neighbors and our kids (Brooke, Saydee and Josh as a Paint Ball Buff) featuring McGruff the Crime Dog. Saydee dressed up like Minnie Mouse earlier in the day when we went out to Renton with Matt to go to a job that the business is working on. (It was an older vacant duplex that is being renovated so it was super spooky and we told her we were going to a haunted house so it was fitting lol!) We also picked up Renton's famous Chucks Doughnuts maple bars which were a special treat!

The older kids went out for Pizza and stayed in this year.

Fun Times on Halloween, we even ran into a haunted yard carnival that we went to which was super creative!
