Thanksgiving weekend

For Thanksgiving we went to St. George and had lunch with Jared's parents, Jared's grandma, and Nick, Erica and Kyri. It was a small group but it was fun. And of course the food was amazing! We went down Wednesday night so we could help Sandra with food on Thursday. On Friday Jared wanted to go wheeling, but me being the mean wife that I am, wouldn't let him. Ok, here's how it really happened. We were going to go wheeling Saturday with the club Jared's a part of. On Friday they were going to a place called the squeeze that will give everyone body damage, so with Jared's rig being full size, he wasn't going to fit. I wanted him to spend more time with his family instead of wheeling the entire time and leaving me with the boys. Then I decided that since I was planning on going to a few stores I'd rather have him go wheeling because he'd be ornery because he wasn't wheeling and I made him come with us, and he hates shopping (as do I but I'm ok if I'm getting things I was planning on). He didn't believe me that I wouldn't be mad at him for not coming with us so he came with us. It was nice because we went to the temple that afternoon which we haven't done for a while. I did find the towels I was looking for (for Christmas presents) but the sheets I was hoping to get were all gone. Go figure. It was an awesome black Friday deal and we didn't make it to the store until around lunchtime. Oh well.
On Saturday we went wheeling in the blazer. We decided that Cooper could go so I got to go this time. It was really fun. I haven't been in so long. On one hill near the beginning Jared got stuck. His blazer had a carburetor and while I don't know all about it, I know if it goes at too much of an angle, the fuel goes out of it and the engine dies (or something like that). He would have just had people push him back off the rock so he could start it and go around it but his hitch was in the ground so he was stuck. Kyle tried pulling him up with his jeep and ended up breaking his ring gears. They finally took Kyle's jeep and another jeep and put them against a little bit of a rock and hooked their winches up to the blazer and pulled him up (you know it's a heavy blazer if it takes two winches). The rest of the time we didn't have any problems. We had to take a few bypasses because of stuff that he would need lockers for (future modification) or one place that he was too big for. It was a really fun trip and it makes me excited for more. The guys in the club that I met and their wives/families are pretty cool. They're doing a big trip with guys from up north too in February so that'll be really fun. I'd post pictures but they take a long time to load and I've got more posts to do. Jared loaded them on to Facebook so you can go check them out there. We headed home Saturday so that was the end of our fun weekend.
I found some pictures after we were wheeling that Jared doesn't have on Facebook so here you go.

Wheeling is hard work! He falls asleep every time. I love that his hands are in the bag of pretzels and you can tell he was holding on to his cup before he fell asleep.

What a cute boy! Love those big blue eyes. He did really good for his first time wheeling.

We saw this rainbow on our way home.

Crue asleep on the way home from wheeling. Love the glasses and hand behind his head!
