~Adult Fondue Party~


What do we say about the Pickett Fondue Party? Let's just say it brings out the best in all of us!

Here's one! He just loves his picture taken ;)

Same about this one to!!!

I didn't take very many pictures that night but this is one that I enjoyed! Shawn, being the little devil he is, had drawn Kim's name for Christmas this year. As you all may know this is very crucial. Everyone always wants Shawn's to draw their name for Christmas. About 3 years ago Shawn started to make SKP's for who ever's name he drew. Well, can I say that there is one sister-in-law that has made out very well from this. Shawn's two sister's every year pray that he gets their name but one finally got what she wanted. But Shawn had to be a little stinker about. He gave Kim a little Diet Coke bottle with a gift certificate for an SKP attached to it. She thought that that was her gift until Shawn stood up and went and grabbed another wrapped present. Of course after she opened it if you were to look at Karen she was crying. After all she does deserve one since they share a birthday and everthing. But we won't get into that.

We always look forward to this party every year! To see who brought the worst white elephant gifts, Keith's amazing cheese fondue, and listening to the boys rag on each other. But most of all I love just to listening to everyone talk and laugh as we sit around the table enjoying a dinner with each other!!

~Pickett Grandchildren Party~


The kids look forward to this party every year! Hanging out with there cousins and Grandma and Grandpa. First, they enjoyed lunch at McDonald's then we came back to Aunt Kim's house and made Snowmen out of pretzels and white chocolate. I think we all wanted to just keep dipping our pretzels in the white chocolate instead of decorating them! We missed having Maiya at the party but we are glad that she is feeling a lot better now!

Mckaylee received a jewelry making kit from her cousin can I just tell you that that totally made her day. She loves to make jewelry.

Mr. Wyatt received a Bionicle from his cousin also. I don't get boys sometimes but there is just something about these Bionicle's that they think are "So Awesome"

Wyatt and Mckaylee's Birthday


For Wyatt and Mckaylee's birthday we took them and their friends down to Fat Cat's. We had a blast. Grandma and Grandpa Pickett were able to come up and join us for a little while. We loved seeing them. It just happens to be the Ashlyn and Kaden are brother and sister and are best friends with these two. We all played a game of bowling while enjoying some pizza. Later we played some serious arcade games!

~CoRn DaYs~

Saturday we went to the American West Heritage Center "Corn Days" it was beautiful weather. It is so worth the money to go and do all of the fun activities. We had spent over 4 hours there.

Shawn being a kid as usual.

Pony Rides! If you look at Wyatt's face you can actually tell that he is singing.

Mckaylee made a corn husk doll of course since it was " Corn Days"

Shawn and Wyatt husking corn.

It's amazing how society has changed after going to a place like this and letting your child participate in activities that farm children used to do. It makes me want a farm that much more.

~OuR PuPpY~

She us awesome. I would say to get a second dog when you have one that is already trained. Shelby has done an amazing job but she is Daddy's little girl!

Another Puppy! What were we thinking?


The Kids just love her! They give her lots of attention!

She's Already Daddy's Little Girl :)

If you all haven't noticed we are calling her "Her" a lot. We still don't have a name for her so if you have any suggestions PLEASE let us know!! She is lot's of fun and Lady loves her too! We were worried about how Lady would be with her and once she realized she wasn't going in her motherly instincts kicked right in!
