December Fun

I received an email with these pictures and couldn't resist posting them. Emma and Collin are so much fun and we LOVE them! Emma likes to look at Santa this year but she definitely does not like sitting on Santa's lap. Collin love Christmas and really likes that he gets a prize every time he sits on Santa's lap. We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Thanksgiving Weekend

This year was not our year to spend at home. Since three of us are married we switch holidays between families. This year is our year for Christmas at the Larimore's home. Therefore, Thanksgiving was spend with the in laws. Mom, Dad, and Justin went out to Metro Grill for Thanksgiving dinner and went out to the movies.

The day after Thanksgiving was full of moving for the Cook's, shopping for the Stone's, and utter chaos for the Mosley's. Mimi had a sleepover for Collin so Brian could finish his FINAL project for school. HOORAY!!!! It is on it's way to San Fransisco as we speak and pending a presentation and approval....Brian will have a masters in animation from the Academy of Art University in San Fransisco. Today Collin woke up and decided he was going to help Pops with the cars. Collin said that he was going to fix all the cars in the whole city and his world. He also said that some people may think he is a baby but he is a big boy because he can fix cars.....it was too funny. Pops told him that if he was a real car fixer he had to eat a hot dog at Costco....so Pops and Collin went to Costco for lunch. Here is the video of him fixing the car. Also, we can't leave Cooper out....he managed to find a new accessory for himself....a cone :) LOL....nothing he does shocks us now!!

FINALLY!!! I know we haven't had a post in a while. I think everyone lost my email address because no one has sent me pictures to update the blog in months. THANKFULLY, we have the most amazing Aunt in the entire world. Jill is a very talented photographer. She took beautiful family pictures last weekend while we were in Globe. The whole family is so excited that we finally have a picture of everyone that looks amazing! We enjoyed spending time in Claypool. It is an amazing little town and best of all it is where our Granny lives! Thanks Granny and Jill for such a wonderful weekend!

Shelly and Rob in Cali

Shelly and Rob took their turn in California this week. For anyone that didn't hear, there was an earthquake yesterday in L.A. Shelly and Rob are splitting their time between San Diego and L.A. Yesterday they were in the San Diego temple when the earthquake occurred. Shelly described everything as swaying; the chandeliers where moving and the entire building itself. The San Diego Temple is on rollers and was probably the safest place in the world for them to be. We are happy that Shelly and Rob were in the temple and were protected as they are away from home. It served as a reminder of our Heavenly Fathers love for my family, and reminds me of how blessed we are to be part of the Gospel.

Justin, Mom, Dad, & Denny

Justin, Mom, Dad, and Denny went to California about a week ago for vacation. We are happy that they had such a great time. Below are some pictures of the action. Including the Segways that Justin wiped out on and skinned up his knee. Enjoy :)

Watch Out...another one bites the dust!

Another victim has been taken down by the every popular....1st and last annual sardines game. Brian has come down with poison ivy along with Justin. Both will be visiting the doctor tomorrow. This will be Justin's second visit. All along Daniel thought he was such a loser because he didn't win the game...little did he know it would be one worth losing. We are all praying for Rob and hoping he doesn't contract the wonderful rash that comes with poison ivy. We wish Justin and Brian a quick recovery!

The Aftershocks

We had a wonderful time camping but this week we definitely felt the aftershocks in the Larimore home. Justin has POISON IVY!! Poor guy, he had such a blast playing sardines but little did he know he had laid down in a patch of poison ivy during the game. Today Justin and mom spent time in urgent care because it started burning and rapidly spreading overnight.
Before the Poison Ivy

The progression as of Friday

The Poison Ivy Saturday Afternoon (1 day later)

Cooper wanted to make his point clear about his camping experience, as if chewing through 2 leashes didn't make his point clear. Upon arriving home the dog went crazy. He started off small with tearing up the accent pillows and other normal puppy behaviors. Then he did something CRAZY...he swallowed Brian's dress sock....I couldn't do that if you offered me a million dollars! We had to be on babysitting duty to insure that Cooper didn't choke to death. Mom almost took him to the vet tyesterday but she decided to wait, good thing because the dog fixed the problem himself and saved a lot of money.
