Friends-giving y'all!

So this past Saturday we had our 2nd annual friendsgiving at our home and it was another success!

I'm so grateful for good friends and this is such a fun way to get together and visit with most of them.

Thanks to everyone who could make it and brought sides...they were delish!

I'm afraid our house is getting too small to invite any more people than we had but hopefully we can keep this tradition going!

Here are a few pictures from my phone of the prep and the rest of the night.

My favorite part of the turkey prep...injecting it with 8' needle of butter marinade...

no wonder I'm going into medicine haha

 

 My made from scratch, grandmas recipe, stuffing... turned out so good!

 I bought orange taffy and turkey stickers for the kids to keep them entertained...well no kids ended up coming but everyone else seemed to like them ha!

 Some of the peeps

 double selfie!!

We are staying in Idaho this year for Thanksgiving because we have to work the day before and after. My parents were able to come up yesterday for the day to have a pre-thanksgiving dinner with us and to bring us my grandmas freezer that doesn't get used. Hooray!!! It's only like 5 years old and works great. 

I'm so excited to have a freezer again haha.

We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving. Love you all!

Anniversary 11.11.13

So we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on 11.11.13

Two years with this handsome guy has been a dream come true...not to get all mushy or anything but

I can't believe how lucky I am sometimes.

So glad he picked me!

To celebrate we went and spent the night in a suite at marriot in idaho falls.

It was such a nice room! 

We plan on doing our cheesy 2 year picture in front of the temple in a few weeks hopefully. 

 

We were going to go out to dinner but our freezer decided to stop working suddenly a few days before. awesome huh

Well we had a massive turkey that had completely dethawed..so I had to cook it. 

We had a nice home cooked meal and froze the rest of the turkey meat.

I got Jake a little gift and the day of our anniversary 

he came home with the most perfect card and yellow rose:)

My in-laws also got us a cute little card and a gift card to texas roadhouse. yum:)

 

 

This was the exact spot my sweet husband proposed over two years ago.

It was a wonderful weekend to say the least. 

I am so grateful for my sweet, handsome and caring husband. 

Can't wait to spend eternity with him. Love you!!

A bunch of hocus pocus

i just love halloween.

mainly because i love hocus pocus, fall time, pumpkin everything and so on....

i promised some pictures of our costumes this year!

this is the first year i could convince jake to dress up with me.
our costume is obviously homemade...well kinda. pinterest helped me a lot with the makeup i'll admit.

we went to our friends, brandi and skylars halloween party. 

we played all kinds of games, ate yummy food and treats, boogied, and just had a blast!

introducing the hunter man and his bambi...

p.s. jake made my bulls-eye target. impressive huh!

 We won best costume...hollla!!!

 Little hunter just doing some light reading:)

 deer in the headlights

 um this melts my heart. the kiddos loved him and he loved playing with them all night

 some other funny costumes that night

halloween is also my mommy-in-laws birthday.

i decided to be creative and make her something

i couldnt decide to make a cake, get flowers, make cookies or what.

i was pretty proud of my yummy creation...

Elder King is doing great! 

He has struggled getting along with one of his companions but hey that happens!

No pictures this post of him because his camera cord broke but stay tuned:)

school is killing me softly but surely haha jk
i'll get through it eventually, look back and smile... or be dang glad i'm done!

thanks for reading, hope everyone has a great weekend!:)
