New Additions:
The Martin Family got a new addition to the family, Kirra Ann was born to Jeff and Laurie. SHe was born a week before Thanksgiving. She is such a cutie. We can't wait to get our hands on her. My brother Jeff (Kirra's daddy) was able to call us from Iraq on Thanksgiving. He sounds great and is a proud daddy. So my parents are officially Grandparents, and they couldn't be happier.
The Norman Family got a new addition to the family, Benjamin Vaughn was born to Tory and Maria in July. We were able to visit Josh's family in August for Ben's blessing. They live in Provo, UT. I'm glad we were able to be there. Ben was my little buddy while we were visiting. I had to get in all the time I could because he may not recognize me the next time we see him (hopefully in March). He too is a little cutie. Josh's parents became Grandparents for the first time too, and are very happy!
Guitar Hero:
My sister Julie bought Guitar Hero as her Graduation gift to herself. So we played alittle. It is fun to play, even if your not good (like me). My sister is awesome. Josh is pretty good too. He played for an hour straight. I can barely make it through 1 song.
Poker Fun:
The Martin Family has adapted a Thanksgiving tradition that the Norman Family does. They play poker, much to Dad Norman's dismay. So a few weeks before Thanksgiving, we would play Texas Hold'em. The guys were nice enough to teach us girls. It took me a few weeks to FINALLY get the game (but I am still learning). I'm such a slow learner with stuff like that. We don't play for money or anything, we use the cheap set of Walmart poker chips. Even Betsy the dog played. I don't have any pics of Jared, he was still in Idaho. But he was with us in spirit.
We are thankful for our families and friends. We love you all!!
