Halloween Weekend!!

Our first Halloween weekend as a married couple was FUN FUN! First we got invited to go to a barbecue/party with my work. When Max heard it was free ribs he was there in a heart beat! It was super fun with lots of decorations and food. This picture is from that night:

After that we left to drive to Springerville AZ to stay at Jesse's cabin with some couples. Since it was Halloween weekend we both got matching pumpkin shirts, unfortunately I was not in this picture. We forgot to take one of both of us :( But here's my model husband showing off his cute shirt.

Here's Jesse's amazing cabin! His parents basically live up there now and were SO good to all of us making food all the time, and letting us have a great time!

We got to go shooting and riding quite a bit up here too. Max green truck is awesome isn't it!

I was so cold I wore my snowboard jacket around up there.

We went to church with everyone and got all dressed up for it. As you can see Max is sporting the old-fashioned collared vest, which he wore proudly.

On the drive home we stopped to take some cool pix with a nice Arizona background.

Ok here are two more cute pix of Max and I out at the Florence property. I forgot these ones and thought they were cute!

Since Max first got home from his mission we've really enjoyed going out to his parent's place out in Florence. Now that we're married we've gone even more to hang out, ride motorcycles, spend time with family, and just to have fun! The desert is such a beautiful place and we love going out there! Here are some fun pix:

There's a zip line that Brent put in that is tons of fun! You have to go upstairs and harness up, then hold on and zip down goin really fast! This is a picture of our friends/family down below us when we were zip lining. The only thing is that you have to slow yourself down with your feet and hold on or you'll have a gnarly crash :)

The famous HUGE buffalo that Brent shot.

Jeanne & Mckenna posing in the rays of the noon-day sun :)

This was a cool-lookin picture I took of the V-shaped cactus with the sun peeking through.

Me and my handsome love.

My husband and his second true-love :)

Some of my family came out a couple times and we had lots of fun! My parents, Zach, Kyler, Tyson, Courtney, Colter, and Lace came out there this time. Here is a picture of Colter & Kyler in the back of the Rhino sippin' on Cari-Suns.

Max has an absolute obsession/love for motorcycles. He even enjoys taking Hudson's pit-bike out and hitting some jumps. These couple of pictures actually look pretty cool of him getting some big air!

Here is Max, then Zach, and Ty all dressed similarly. You can hardly tell them apart!

The jeep is TONS of fun out there. We take it out quite a bit out there & love it. Here's a pic of them crossing the river when it was low. We went with Shelby and Levi (Max's cousins).

Max and I had such a fun night! He kinda surprised me with some tickets to one of my favorite country singers ever, which is Jo Dee Messina. She had a small concert at the Mesa Arts Center and it was probably the funnest concerts I've been to. There were only about 30 rows of people there, and we were pretty close! She did really informal concert where she just picked people in the audience to request songs and ask questions. That night was a night to remember, I had tons of fun with my love! Thanks Max.

This is her singing away, as you can see we were able to be not too far away!

~THANKSGIVING~

For Thanksgiving this year Max and I went out to his Parent's land out in Florence and it was so much fun! Brent and Jeanne have done so much out there to make it so homey and full of things to do all the time. Here's a picture of the new jeep they bought to cruise around in, we had a lot of fun in this thing!

Hudson and Max on Motorcycles, brotherly love :)

YAY Mckenna! She got to come home for Thanksgiving and we were missing her! It was so fun to spend some time with this fun girl and can't wait to see her again at Christmas!

Here's the new bar area with the big buffalo brent shot right above it. They've put it all in themselves and it is so awesome! Here are a few pictures of all the family that came and hung out:

You can't really see us but this was just a beautiful sunset we took a picture in front of.

Me, Mckenna and little Daisy

This is awesome, this is a tree stump that's grows out of a spring of water. So it's full of water all the time, and if you splash some out it will fill right back up within 30 seconds! Max took a 6 foot stick and stuck it down there, along with his long arm and couldn't feel anything but water! These are some funny goofy pix:

Beautiful Arizona Desert

Crossing the river... in the jeep :)

Run From the Sun!!

Since July of this year I've been working for Dr. Allen, who was the president of putting on this race of "Run From the Sun." The whole purpose of this event was to help raise money to cure skin cancer and the whole event turned out great! On Friday Nov. 13th we had an expo with many vendors and runner's coming to pick up their packets. Then on Saturday the 14th it was the big race! We ended up having 619 runners! It was a great success and so much fun!

Here's the awesome committee we had that put the whole thing on:

My WONDERFUL husband was the best supporter and helped out a ton.

Here are a few pictures of the event at Hohokam Stadium:

I have the BEST family who came and ran the Family Fun Run. It was a lot of fun and I appreciate their support! Below is a picture just after the starting line with my dad (waving), my mom in pink, and Ty and Court with cute Colter in the stroller. Love you guys!

There was a hilarious guy dancing all by himself all around the field to the music.

Here's our band that donated all their time to us!
