Thanksgiving 2008

Don, DJ & I were supposed to go to Oregon for Thanksgiving... but since we had several house projects to finish before moving to Texas in just a few weeks... we needed to stay home to work on and finish those projects!

BONUS was that Lindsay, Keir and their kids came over to spend Thanksgiving with us...
We did play a little... but worked hard the whole weekend long!

DJ & Allie playing on the floor!

Keir and Don painted while waiting for the turkey to cook... Lindsay was caulking door jams & baseboards... we REALLY appreciate their help that weekend!! :) We got it all done before the move thanks to them!

THANKS JONESES!!!!!

Back to Dallas... Don Gets a House for his Birthday!

DJ & I went back to Dallas on Friday, November 14th... DON'S BIRTHDAY! We also signed the papers on our Texas house that weekend... on November 17th! We are so excited... and can't wait to get the keys!
We went to church today in our new ward... and the ward building was small... but there were MANY super nice people there that gave us a super warm welcome! :)
We are excited to be a part of our new church! Don will move into the house as soon as we get the utilities set up in our name...
DJ & I will move in when the movers bring our stuff from Utah in the middle of December! :)
These are random photos of DJ at our hotel... love this one of him drooling!

To California for an Interview... :)

Here is DJ passed out after our flight from Utah to San Jose. We went for an interview I had with my company for an internal transfer position that I could do from home once we moved to Texas. The interview went really well, but the very next day... my company announced that a layoff was coming, so all internal transfer positions were cancelled! BUMMER!! :(
My Sister Katrina and nephews JC & Alex stayed with DJ & I in our hotel room and watched DJ while I was in my interview!
THANKS GUYS! :)
I also got to have dinner with several friends from my singles ward and old roommates!
I also got to have lunch with One, a co-worker of mine! It was a fun trip! :)
'Someone' is tired of meeting all of Mommy's friends from where she used to work in California... and wants some lunch... NOW! :)

Don drives to Texas in less in a day & a half!

Don came home to Utah on Halloween night... we worked around the house Saturday... and he loaded up my car to take it to Texas. This way Don wouldn't have to get a rental car in Texas anymore, we won't have to drive two cars out to Texas when we move in December... OR pay to put one of the cars on the moving truck...
DJ TRIED to go with Daddy... but Mommy said no. ;) Don left Utah Sunday morning and got to work in Texas by noon on Monday... the very next day! He was in Amarillo by mornin'. ;)

DJ's 1st Halloween!

DJ is just 3 months old... so we didn't take him out Trick or Treating! Don flew home from Texas to visit us that night, so DJ & I went to pick him up at the airport!
DJ did have several cute costumes...

Ranch Hand...

Pumpkin... he just LOVES his lights!

& Bear Cub!

DJ has got almost all his fingers in his mouth at once! :)
