Thanksgiving weekend

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving this year! It started off by running the Turkey Waddle, which was a 5k run to help support our Nephew Troy and help pay his medical bills. Our plan was to trade off pushing the kids, but after 3/4 of a mile Noah ditched me, so he got to push them the whole way. And he did it about 20 min. faster than me. Little bugger!!
The Wendt Family
The Tyler Gang
Us with the boy of the hour, Troy!Then it was off to have two amazing Thanksgiving dinners. First, at my parents then on to the Tylers.
Friday I woke up early to partake of the Black Friday sales! Noah's sisters and Mom are the best to shop with. I think their modo is just buy it and think about it later!! Noah and I are giving the kids Disneyland tickets for Christmas, so I swore I would not get them anything else. I lied!But I didn't go crazy. I wish I would have taken a picture of all the shopping bags in Jeanne's living room! They literally took up half the room. It was great!
Later that day Noah took Brody to the 2008 model car show. Brody totally loves cars just like Noah, and is getting so good at being able to tell what kind of car is which.
Lastly we took the kids to see the Bee movie. We totally loved it! So many people told me it was so boring, but I thought it was so funny. It had so many inside jokes.
Hope you all had a fun weekend of eating and shopping! The countdown to Christmas is ON!! Can't wait!

FUN! You don't even look pregnant! You look great. What a perfect gift...Disneyland! Are you going there on Christmas Day or some other time? PS. I totally thought DeAnna on the Bachelor looked like Vanessa as soon as I saw her for the first time. That show should have never been aired, especially if they knew he wasn't gonna pick anyone! BUG!

Fun pics Jill! You go girl - running while preggers! That is too cute that Brody loves cars like his dad. Fun hobby for them to do together. I'm thinking about shopping on Black Friday next year. Seems like an adrenaline rush!

Looks like you guys had a great weekend! I had no idea about the Turkey run for Troy. I would have loved to do it. I am so excited for your family to go to Disneyland. Your kids will be stoked. Oh yeah, that cracks me up that Brody knows models of cars. Well, I guess what they say is true... Like father like son!!

Looks like a fun Thanksgiving weekend. I want to know when you'll be in town for Disneyland. Maybe I'll see you there!

BTW...I'll have to agree with Rachel...running and prego? Not happening with this bod!

Why did I think his fundraiser run was in January? I totally would have done it. I can do a 5k, it's the 1o K that kills me.

You guys are such a great family.. I sure think about Troy all of the time, and I have never met him but he is for sure in our prayers.. I show my boys him and they always ask a million questions of his condition.

Way to go on running while you are pregnant! My feet never touch my running shoes while I am pregnant, I just hate it...

I have got to go to the car show next time, My boys are out of control about cars.. Such cute pictures...

Lindsie said...

Wow, hi Noah and Jill. You guys look great. What have you been up too? Still in Arizona? Hope you are doing good.

Kat said...

Good girl! I am proud of you for running! Wish I had gotten around to running enough to participate! Brody and Noah look cute together.. how fun that he is starting to know stuff about cars like his dad. I saw him playing at the park tonight during softball and gave him a hard time about something he said (it was a joke and I teased him)- and he was so cute in return, hard to explain but it was funny.

Lindsie said...

We will definatly give you guys a call next time we are down there. Yes, I have been in Utah for about 6 years now. Wow, I can't believe it has been that long. I was so excited when I saw you, Sunni found me and then I saw you on hers. This thing has been so great for reuniting with people, I love it. Give me your number, if you don't want to put it on here you can e-mail it to me. ylindsie@hotmail.com. Talk to you soon.

I love that Brodie is Noah's Bestie! I want a little boy!! That picture made me melt!

AND you are getting another one, right?

I hope your nephew is doing better. He is so cute. Not to be cheesy, but he is totally in my prayers and on my mind.

SunGood said...

YAY!! A boy!! I need me one of those!! :) You will have so much fun at Disneyland!! Your kids will love it! Peyton was like 39" tall and you have to be 40" to ride most of the rides, so we stuffed napkings in her shoes to make her taller!! It worked it was awesome! So if you have that problem with Sadie lady now you know what to do!! Matching outfits are a must at Dland.. I got mine at Target! Gotta love it!

Hess Fam said...
