This is the tree that Jingles (Santas head elf)

will be putting a gift under on Christmas Eve for

Aspen and Raider. 

 Who doesn't love a cowboy? George Strait

is almost as cute as Rope'n Raider

 Jan and Tony hosted Thanksgiving dinner. Jan made

the best sweet potatoes ever!!!

 Bart and Kurt, Trents brothers

 Sebastian sporting his new helmet.

Aspen loves holding her cousin.

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Feast...

 My cute family of four, I love them so much..

 My Dad and Tyson joined us at the Turners

because my Mom and Lacey went to Arizona.

These two men are some of my favorite men in the 

whole world. It was nice to have them eat us us.

'Nanda and Lance. 

Turkey Trot

 No better way to start off Thanksgiving

then to run a four mile race/half mile kids race.

 One of my best friends, Kim, and I ran the

four mile Turkey Trot. Both our girls

ran the kids race.

 My Stats-32 minutes and 10 seconds=

an 8 minute 2 second mile. My goal was

30 minutes so I am kind of sad about my time

 but I will get it next year.

I placed 137/483, I was 6th in my age group.

Aspens Stats for the half mile- 5 min. & 58 sec.

I am one proud mama. I hope this is the first 

of many races for Aspen.

These two kidos love each other 98% 

of the time. The other 2%, Raider hits and 

bites. Aspen locks him out of her room and says

"I hate baby brothers".

My Birthday Party!!!

 On November 15th I turned 29 years old. Crazy because 

I still feel like I am only 20. On my actual birthday

I worked, did my daily house chores, help Aspen with her

homework, we all went to dinner, got my wedding

ring sized (it wouldn't go over my knuckle since

I had Raider) Them we topped off the evening 

by taking Aspen to gymnastics. On Saturday,

we had a Turner/Gray dinner and cake over at the

Turners house. Yummy food, wonderful people

and great gifts.

Aspen and Bart putting on a play for me for my

birthday party. Aspen is so creative and Bart is

a good sport.

 The many faces of Raider after a good dinner.....

 The cutest Raccoons ever!!!

Halloween Day

 Aspen, My Grandma Gray, Raider, Trent

 Kids with Grandpa Tony and Grandma Jan

 Trick-or-Treating around the Turner hood.

 G&G Gray 

 My cute little family

Pumpkin Carving

 Since I don't like to carve pumpkins, Trent 

took it upon himself to make sure

the kids got this experience.

Halloween Half

 My friend Kim and I ran the Halloween

half marathon. I got the best time

ever in my whole running life, 1:32:39.

That is a 7:10 minute mile. Aspen had fun taking

before and after pictures of me.

 See the flower on my tights? Aspen gave it to

me as a good luck charm, it worked.
