Race for the Cure

So, I'm a little out of order on posting my pictures from the weekend events, but at least I am posting them sooner than I normally do. On Sunday my mom and I participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, a fundraiser for breast cancer. They had three different races; we did the 5K. We were amazed at how many people participated. The newspaper said there were 11,000 participants. Can you believe it, 11,000? My mom and I walked in celebration of my Granny B and in memory of my aunt Carol and my cousin Kristen. 

It felt good to participate in such a noteworthy cause. My mom and I decided to make it an annual event and hopefully next year we can recruit more people to walk with us.

Halloween Party!!!

Here they are! The pictures from the Halloween party last night. Yet again, Morgan and Kristen rose to the occasion. We had a blast as usual. The costumes turned out great, I was Cruella DeVille and Josh was Bulls**t.

Morgan and I ( Morgan was the Metrolink conductor that was "supposedly" texting that caused the huge train crash a couple of weeks ago in LA. He has a dark sense of humor)

Matt and the guy from Napaleon Dynamite ("Bow to your Sensay!")

Now its time to start thinking of our costumes for next year. And if I am going to sew them again, I better start early because this year I was sewing right up until the moment I left to go down and help set up for the party. Nothing like last minute alterations :) All in all, it was worth it. Can't wait till next year!

Let the Festivities Begin

Its that time of year again, Halloween! Yay!! On Saturday Josh and I and Matt and Angela headed down to Morgan and Kristen's to help decorate for their annual Halloween Party that is next weekend. I also have been frantically trying to finish our costumes for the party. As usual, I'm not going to tell what we are going to be until after the party. 

Below are just a few pictures of the decorations. We made their den into a pirate bar complete with stuffed character from the Pirates of the Caribbean pirates' brethren. These pictures don't even capture the atmosphere of the room. I promise next weekend I will take more pictures of the decorations because they really are awesome. Their whole front lawn is a graveyard and so much more.

Morgan and Kristen's dogs, Magnum and Penny, had to get into the Halloween mode too.

We had such a fun night and I am very excited for next weekend. Stay tuned for pictures of all the fun festivities as I have a packed weekend next week. Friday night is the Auction for Autism at Wilson Creek Winery, Saturday-Halloween Party, and Sunday is the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk. I will try my best to document all the events for your viewing pleasure :)

Nicolette & Jason's Wedding

Friday night, Josh and I went to my friend Nicolette's wedding. Nicolette and I went to Azusa Pacific together ( she was in the counseling program while I am in the school psychology program). Her and Jason were married at Lake Oak Meadows in wine country here in Temecula. It was a beautiful setting. Her parents and her were brought to the ceremony site in a horse drawn carriage. It was very cool but I am bummed I didn't get a picture of it. The only drawback to the night was it was the first very cold night of the fall season. It was FREEZING!! Luckily, there were heat lamps and these very cool patio tables with fire pits in the middle.

It was such a fun night, minus the fact that it was like -10 degrees (not really, but it was DARN cold). Nicolette was a beautiful bride and these pictures do not do her or her dress justice. 

Friday Night Fun...On a Wednesday

Last Wednesday Josh and I went bowling with the Wells Family. We had a blast! I am lucky enough that I can rearrange my schedule to have a day off during the week when Josh has his 4 day. It was unlimited bowling on Wednesday night, so we went to town.

I think Hunter had more fun watching the bowling balls come out of the chute.

Little Wyatt was such a good sport. He slept the whole time, right up until we woke him up before we left.

Love this baby!

Finally awake!

Funny Faces Photo Shoot

Josh and I got Hunter a handful of tokens for the arcade. Hunter couldn't wait to go play.

Thanks Wells family for such a fun night! We're so glad we have you guys to do fun things like this with. Hopefully, we will have another one soon.
