Halloween Pumpkin Carving Family Night

I love Halloween season! Jon and I decided to invite some of our friends over for a pumpkin carving evening of fun! We made yummy soup dinner that we put inside of a pumpkin and then made breadsticks to look like bones with blood dipping sauce and then we of course had to have Dry Ice Rootbeer! I didn't take many pictures but we had about 8 family's come which made it really fun.

Cookie had a blast as she tried to eat the Pumpkin's.

Pumpkin Patch Attempt #1

Jon and I were excited to take cookie to the pumpkin patch for her first time.. don't judge us, it's our first kid!! Anyhow we arrived to find her passed out, even after we took her out of the car and put her into the stroller! Jon and I had a great time and found some good looking pumpkins, guess there is always next year!

Gold Man Olympic Triathlon

A few weeks ago me and some of my friends did the Triathlon. It's a 1 mile swim, 24 mile bike, and a 6.2 mile run!! This was a great accomplishment and a lot of fun, I am super grateful my sister rocks and crossed the finish line with me!!
Here we are before the race started! I don't have any other pictures of the race, I'm waiting to get some!!

Love Love Love...This Girl!!

This little girl melts my heart, here are some pictures my dear friend Angie took of Cookie back in July, so she would be about 8 months old in these. Cookie is getting so big, so fast. Right now her mad skills consist of trying to walk everywhere ( she gets about 8-10 steps) waving bye bye, giving high fives, clapping, and giving kisses! We love her!

Imogene Run!

Two weeks ago Jon did a race called the Imogene Trail Run... it is an insane race! The race is 17 miles long and reaches up to 13,100 ft. So you run straight up hill for 10 miles!! I am so proud of Jon, what a huge accomplishment!

We stayed up in a cabin that was on the course Jon ran, so cookie and I got to cheer him on at mile 4!Poor Jon pulled his groin muscle on the way up, and on the way down he had a little crash, but he finished strong! Here is Jon with his war wounds. I think Jon was mostly sad about his phone breaking!
Jon and Jim Gebbarht after the raceIt was a great weekend, we stayed in the Gebbarht's cabin, played games, ate yummy food and went on a few mini hikes!

Washington / Oregon Trip

Jon and I took a 10 day road trip to Washington and Oregon, with a small stop in Utah! It was a blast, however all in all we drove 3,000 miles which is a lot with a baby! So here is our play by play!!

Day 1: Drive to Utah , ate at macaroni grill with friends and stayed the night with the Stewarts
Day 2: Drive 9 hours to Kennewick Wa. to see my parents! We suprised them by arriving 3 days early. Day 3: Drive to Portland Oregon! Jon and I stopped off at the Colombia River Gorge to hike and see all the waterfalls. It was incredible, we hiked to 3 different falls and had lunch at the bottom.
This was cookie's reaction when she saw the waterfall!We then continued to take the Old Scenic Highway and found this great overlook. ( I forgot the name)We were also able to see our friends the Jackson's and eat dinner, and stay at our friends the Bodmer's house.

Day 4: Woke up early went on a nice run and then headed to the Oregon Coast, Cannonbeach. Here we are eating at Mo's it was delicious!
Day 5: Woke up early and drove to Seattle Washington! Jon and I headed over to the arboretum by Washington State University. It was right on the lake and had trails to different botanical gardens. We ate at Madison Park and then headed to Pike Place Market to eat fish and chips.
Then we headed over to Westport, the Washington Coast, where we stayed in a condo on the beach with my sister and her family.
Day 6 & 7: Stayed in the Condo on the beach. Jon went deep sea fishing and we just relaxed.
Day 8 & 9: Drove back to Kennewick to be with my family sense my Dad was not able to come on the westport trip. I was also able to see my dear friends from highschool, it has been a long time, we ate ice cream at Red Robin and played catch up!Day 10:
Here is my sweet Dad that woke up at 4:30 to feed cookie her bottle and see us off. We made it to Utah stayed the night and headed for home in the morning.

I Love Food!
