Family Date Night

So Chris and Gary were taking a vaca in south america so we decided that us remaining would do a fun date. Needless to say Tanner and i were together and everyone else got dates. It was so much fun, blind golfing leads a lot of room for flirting becuase you have to help/guide your partner as they golf your ball in. So everyone was loving that, and yes of course Tanner and I got lots of holes in one, and Corey even got a hole in one an the course next to us- pretty fun it flew into the hole instead of bouncing. Then we did archade games and won vampire teeth. pretty awesome. We played "deal or no deal" - Tanner was howe, and we won enought tickets that i was able to buy toys for all my co-workers. enjoy the pics!

Annual Pumpkin Smash

Every Halloween season that Tanner and I have been married, we have carved pumpkins like no ones business. our first halloween we had over 15 pumpkins big and small carved and not sitting on our front apartment porch- starting the day you can buy them at smiths to the day through as long as they can last- and with our snow they can least easily for weeks and months.

so every year we throw the pumpkin party and invite our coolest friends. in the past they have brought random dates, flavors of the week, or their own spouses. AND THEY LOST EVERY YEAR! it was awesome. Tanner and I were the master above and beyond, but this year everyone got a little wiser and being all married now, I had to brag to their "new half"s in advance that they should prepare for losing. so everyone came decked out with their cutco knives, pumpkin shovels and designs. (except for Jonah, who still got last prize)

It was an awesome night with a snow storm coming in and the guts everywhere. so enjoy the pics! ps. we still won. except for Mike's version of Homer Simpsons was the coolest winner this year. everyone got prizes.

Lacey is married to Mike on the left. and we swear that if lacie and I hadnt married the two men, they would have been life long roommates. Whenever we get together with them, they get all giddy and go do their guy thing. They barely notice their wives :) Its pretty cute.

These are the people that Tanner and I hangout with pretty much all the time. Now that we are all married, we are constantly getting together and partying. Tanner and I have to give excuses just to try and get alone time on our open nights. Its awesome. Tonight is the football game and then we are all playing Rock Band all night!

One of Our Last Summer Evenings

so yeah we look like we are out of some kind of GAP ad here or something. but I like this picture. We played soccer and watched the sunset with our friends. its pretty cool having married friends now because its like freshman year all over again, but with more girls- who are actually cool girls. We ran around til we were dizzy and sweaty then went and watched movies. It really is like freshman year now though. for example, Tanner and I spent the night at mike and laceys for one weekend. we partied ALL day and then partied all night playing pinnochle, watching movies, and eating midnight pizza. totally freshman year. Except for the fact that boys are allowed in my room and even my bed past midnight. yeah for being married!

This sunset was unbeleiveable. we even took lots of kissing pictures. that I might just have to post... We have so much fun together!!!

This picture is at Jo and Char's wedding. thanks again for the dress mom. At their wedding, Tanner and I went with mike and Lacey and during the MILLION of pictures we took, we would switch spouses in half of them or do something to mix it up. It was a long day. We also made them a wedding video that is the coolest thing ever. i must say Im pretty proud of it.

Bridal Veil Falls

Tanner and i walked up to the Falls this sunday. in our Pjs, no makeup, no shower, and we were tired. but it was lots of fun. we accidently lost most of our pics of the mountains so i think we are going again this sunday :) It was a blast. We do this tradition every year. Last year we got in a leave pile and tanner lost his wedding ring. It took us half an hour to find it after my crying and tanner laughing. Fun memories. and YEAH Im blogging again. i have even cuter pics but someone needs the computer...
