Happy Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year!

Jeff and I were in charge of the turkey.

We were afraid it might turn out like the one on the

movie Christmas Vacation, but it didn't!

It was a wonderful day full of great food and memories!

Fun Friends

Some of our friends came to visit in November.

The guys "rocked" playing Guitar Hero!

Their daughter is adorable! Soon she'll be a big sister to twins!

My Birthday

So this is me on my 26th birthday!

As you can see, I'm not growing up too quickly!

It was a great day full of lots of surprises!

Pa's Visit

Jeff's dad came to visit at the beginning of November.

They worked on some projects around our house together.

Haunted World

The weekend before Halloween we went to the Haunted World.

It was so scary!

Noelle and I screamed a lot when the scary people chased us.

Jeff and Nate laughed a lot.

The Mona Lisa

Last week my parents took us out to

The Mona Lisa, a fondue restaurant!

We had a great time and the food was incredible!

17 Years

That's how long these two guys have known each other!

That was also our team name for

Trivia Night at the Eugene City Brewery!

Good times, good memories, and good friends!

Camping Trip #2

Some low points of our last family camping trip of the year:

• Not being able to find a motel for the first night.
• Setting up camp in the snow.
• We had to pay for the water even though we didn't use it.
• The people in the town near us thought we were crazy.

Some high points of our last family camping trip of the year:

• We had the campsite all to ourselves!
• We had an amazing view of the lake and mountains!
• We didn't see any bears!
• None of us got frostbite!

This was another trip that I will never forget!

Camping Trip #1

Some low points of our first family camping trip of the year:

• A goat head infested campground.
• Wind that almost blew our tents over.
• A scary town nearby.
• A river too green to feel safe swimming in.

Some high points of our first family camping trip of the year:

• I had a bite of the apple pie before it was thrown away!
• We had time to play games and read!
• All of us survived going in the river (even the boat)!
• We got to wash our hands with soap and water!
  

All in all it was a fun trip...one I will never forget!

McCall Trip #2

In September we got to go to McCall again with some of our friends!

We saw a bear! Scary!We went jet skiing! It was a blast!
We even tried to golf! That was funny!

McCall Trip #1

Way back in August our friends invited us up to McCall!

We started to build a campfire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows,

but then realized we couldn't because of the fire ban.

Jeff was teaching the boys how to scream quietly...something he's still learning how to do himself! We had so much fun!

Home Sweet Home

For those of you who have not blessed us with your presence,

here are some pictures of our home!

Come and visit us anytime!

Summer Adventures

We went to the Greek Food Festival, took a Wild West train ride,

and celebrated Jeff's birthday Spiderman style with his parents.

Jeff's brother brought his pontoon boats and we floated down the river.

I was in my friend's wedding.We played at the river. We took a road trip to Seattle.We went to The Dalles.

We spent time with family.

Our Crazy Cats

It's true...we like cats. This is the newest addition to our family. Her name is Moeesha (Mo for short). This is her on top of my pillows. It's her favorite spot to sleep. She's a pillow hog, but she's a very loving kitty who likes to cuddle and purr.

This is our other cat, Mortimer (Morty for short). For those of you who have been to our house you know that Morty is not very welcoming. But when it's just us at home he's a fun cat. One of his favorite activities is chasing the laser. He decided to cuddle up in the sheets one day.

Disneyland & California Adventure

We spent our last day of vacation at the happiest place on earth. We love Disneyland! We spent some time in California Adventure as well. It's another happy place! We saw our friend dressed up as a character. We rode a bunch of fun rides. We also saw an amazing show. What a wonderful day!

4 Years

We celebrated our 4th Anniversary on our trip. 4 years! Wow! It's been wonderful and I can't imagine spending my life with anybody else! We went to Coronado and took a ferry over to Seaport Village.

Campfire

We went to the beach with our friends. We had a campfire and roasted hot dogs. We stayed to watch the Sea World fireworks across the bay. Oh so pretty!

The Ocean

We drove from L.A. to San Diego. I love driving by the ocean on I-5! We stopped to take in the view. We also saw a huge helicopter fly right by us. It was cool!

Six Flags

This is us at the end of our day at Six Flags. It was such a blast! We rode so many fun and scary roller coasters. My favorite was the X. I thought I was going to smash into the ground! But this picture is proof that we survived.

90210

We explored Beverly Hills and Hollywood. We saw some amazing houses and views. We also ate some In-N-Out Burgers. Yum! They could tell we were from out of town. We had a surprise birthday party for our friend too.

Downtown Disney

This is the first night of our vacation to California. We watched a movie and then checked out Downtown Disney. There was supposed to be somebody famous there, but we couldn't find the famous person.
