Happy Thanksgiving!

Well...we have a lot to be thankful for this year. I see so many families struggling financially...losing their homes...and I am SO greatful for all that Aaron and I have. We are able to provide for our family, and we have a great home. We also have a wonderful family and fabulous friends. Here are some photos of our wonderful holiday!

Here are the pies that Malia helped me bake. We made them homemade and she had a blast. She is pointing to tell me that she wants apple pie.

What a cutie!!! She was so excited to go see her cousins for Thanksgiving!

She was fascinated by these.

Here is a pic of my bro. It is not the best quality(a pic of a pic) but he did such a fabulous job. He and my sis in law hosted Thanksgiving and the spread was delicious!

NKOTB....

So....I have been taking quite a bit of dogging because of my devotion to NKOTB (Uh...New Kids on the Block if you aren't in the know...they go by The Block now). Last night was the concert...to say it was amazing would be putting it mildly. It was everything and more. I think Jordan looked right at me.Prefunking before the concert in our hotel room. Yes, we really did stay at the Murano (Sheraton) because we thought they were staying there. And yes...that really is in Tacoma...10 minutes from my house:-)

The two mommas out for a night on the town. Our girls are only hours apart!

This was awesome...they moved to this stage in the middle halfway through the concert. Becky has her original t-shirt from the 1990 concert. That rocks. This time though...she could drink her beer.

All five are there!!! Jon, Jordan, Joey, Donny, and Danny!!!!!!!

Celebrating 20 weeks!! Baby Q loved the concert and danced the whole time!

My girls from college...gotta love them!!!!!
You probably can't tell but this is where Jordan pointed at me.

Maui Memories!!

What a wonderful birthday! We got the opportunity to spend time as a family in Maui. Since Mel has moved there it has been really hard. She is working her butt off in the police academy and is very busy. It was a dream come true to spend some time with her and the fam. My mom and Michelle came as well...my birthday included beach, golf, and good food....what more could I ask for???Malia and I....what a view from our place!

Nope...that is not a hat on his head.

Tiger Woods???? Nope....but a darn good swing nonetheless!!!
Good times! What a cool course! This is the third hole. This hole you get to choose which green to shoot for....awesome!

MAN....I MISS this girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just me and Baby Q!

The whole fam!

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween! We had a wonderful time this year with Chad, Keri, Makenzie and Claudia.
Malia was a giraffe and loved her costume. This is us with Makenzie...she is so great with Malia!

Here we are with Claudia! She was an 80's diva but TOTALLY looked like early Madonna.

Here they are...the three girls!

What a giraffe!!

Here is Malia saying "Cheese!". Also, here are our pumpkins (hers is the one made of potato head parts!)
