We are Californians!

I thought moving around a lot would be annoying and hard, but I LOVE it. It is so much fun to just live somewhere for a little while and then have another adventure somewhere else. We will be here in Sacramento until spring and then it's off to a new adventure in some other state.

John and I started P90X this week. It is super hard but fun. I don't have much time for anything else since we start it a little after the kids go to bed, it takes and hour, and then we go to bed. I am way behind on Christmas shopping, cleaning, laundry, and pretty much everything. Hopefully the next time you see us we will be super fit/buff. My parents have been doing P90 and my dad lost 22 pounds in the first two weeks. They look and feel great!

We went on a walk up to the Sacramento Temple last week and Beth took a couple of family pictures for us. We didn't get any "perfect" pictures but I love the way they turned out. It's way to hard to get two toddlers to hold still and smile all at the same time.



A Great Thanksgiving

My great great grandpa studied animal husbandry at Cornell University and started a turkey and chicken farm. The Mixa Chick Hatchery was in my family for several generations and my Dad worked there when he was a kid. One of the things that has been perfected and passed down through these generations was how to barbeque a Thanksgiving turkey. My dad is a master barbequer and his turkey recipe is to die for. We usually have barbecued turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year and we have been enjoying leftovers since last week.
