Ragnar Reunion 2!

The group of girls that I ran the California Ragnar with, decided to have another reunion...dinner at Oreganos! Delicious! Seriously, words cannot express how much fun we all have when we get together! I cant wait until next years! Here we are sporting our medals that we got! I love you girls!

BEWARE!! Stick people on the loose!






Nate and I decided that we were going to dress up this Halloween! The costumes: Stick figures! lol I got this idea from a girl at the salon, this was her costume last year!(Thanks Alli!) Two words: SOOOOOO FUN! We had a block party, and boy did our neighbors really go all out! They are the best ever...they decorated their homes AMAZING! They also set up canopies and set out enough food and candy for the entire neighborhood! Nate and I spent the night chasing around little kids in our costumes...nothing scarier than having a stick person chasing you down the street! We even made a dance video! lol...We loved every minute of it!

Pumpkin Carving at the Gissel's.


This year we went to Tessa and Jamie Gissel's house for some pumpkin carving...we had a blast! Nate and I didnt do too bad, Although nate did win this years worst pumpkin, ( he carved a giant star, we ran short on time ,hehehe.) We had fun and cant wait to do it again next year!
