Turkey Heads!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We had a nice day at Nate's parents. I had made a comment to Kathy, my mother in law, about where my Thanksgiving hat was because last year she made everyone Pilgrim and Indian hats. Well also last year Nate's nieces and nephews were there. Being the creative lady she is, she hurried and made me a drumstick hat! In the mean time the stuffing burned because she was upstairs making my hat...I thought it was worth it.



Every year we run in the 10K Mesa Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. It is so much fun! They have this guy dress up in this actual turkey costume...I'm talking feathers...big old head...the whole works! I don't know how he runs in that thing. He runs pretty darn fast too and the goal is to beat the turkey. Of course Nate has beaten him every year and I haven't, so my goal was to do whatever it took to beat that darn turkey (I was considering tripping him if necessary) My it looks like luck was on my side this year because the turkey was slower than he's ever been and I barley beat him!

PS...take notice of the matching running pants...I wonder who's idea that was??? And I can't get that picture on the top to move down! Oopsy!

Mark's Visit to AZ

We had such a great time when Mark came to visit us in Arizona. We have this ladder ball game that we are obsessed with so we had a big tournament night.
I took Mark around the ASU campus...



Nate and Mark had to buy matching shoes.

Our little tennis tournament turned into a photo shoot....So I probably shouldn't put this on here but we thought we were so funny. Mark definitely brings out the crazy side in everyone. We put the camera on the bench and used the timer and took tons of stupid pictures of ourselves. This was actually one of the more appropriate ones, Yikes!



Of course we had to take Mark out to the lake. All we caught were a bunch of baby fish though.



We miss having Mark down here!

Weezer concert at the AZ State Fair!






















Our friend Jeff actually got to play on stage at the Weezer concert at the Arizona State Fair. He won a contest on You-Tube to play up on stage so it was really fun to go see them. Gotta love the Fair! Awesome food and scary rides... nothing
better!






Halloween!

We had a great Halloween. I love dressing up so this is a perfect holiday for me. We had a fun party with friends the weekend before and Nate and I were tables. On Halloween we went over to Nate's family and we had a great time! My mother in law really goes all out for holidays...it got a little crazy and the candles caught fire on the spider web when we were all out side. Luckily there wasn't too much damage but the kitchen fire was pretty big!
