Catch Up...

SO... First of all I wanted to talk about about my nieces and nephews. I wish I could see all of them all the time and I hate that half of them live a billion light years away and they really need to visit! So for now I want to speak of these little munchkins. First there is little Oaki Doo. Now everytime I call her little she says "I not little Annie I Big now" :( she is so busy ALL the time and every time I see her she crys for me to hold her until I finally pick her up, then after a minute or two she gets bored and gets down. We got to watch Oaki and Gav the other day while Ree Ky and Mara went to a play....

Gav, he is the sweetest boy. Randomly he will come up out of no where and bring me a glass of water it's so cute and he is so excited to give it to me. When we took him and Oak out for pizza the other night he said "Can we get pepperoni then I take the pepperoni off cause I don't like pepperoni." But he also doesn't like cheese pizza. He likes to get pepperoni then take them off and that is the only way he likes it. But this time he tried the pepperonis and said "Annie I think I weally do like peppewoni it taste weally good!"
and after that we went to look at the Temple Christmas lights but they weren't on yet because it was before Thanksgiving so we just walked around. :)


Nog would bunch up his straw paper and put drops of water on it so it would expand and they both thought that was the coolest thing they ever saw. He did it about 20 times.

----- TURKEY TROT----



Thats right I did it! I did the Turkey Trot. I trained for it and I did it. It was so great and I am so proud of myself because yes it was only 6.2 miles but I thought I might die at the end.
To start from the beginning,
Me and Nog woke up a little bit too late
We drove down to were I thought the Turkey Trot was but I was wrong and it was really somewhere else. So I was panicing and Nog said don't worry it will be okay and I being over dramatic said "NO it won't" we won't be able to run... haha I had just started my womans cycle so I get a bit crazy and dramatic at times. (poor Nog)

So... sure enough we finally got there we ran about a mile there to the starting line and I was already out of breathe. I wanted to take a breather before running 6 miles but right when we got to the starting line the guy in the microphone yelled, "If you are wanting to run the 10k and haven't started yet you have about 5 seconds until it's too late so you better get going!" So I threw on my Turkey Trot shirt and started running. Nog's knee and shin splints had really been hurting him the past couple of days so he was thinking he couldn't run it because even the day before it hurt to even walk. But he woke up this morning feeling so much better and was able to run it! :) so we ran..... and for the first 2 and a half miles he stuck right by my side I loved it. Then he took off. I continued running and I felt like everytime I wanted to stop a really good song would come on and motivate me to keep going. Also there was a girl in a red jacket and black running pants, with blonde hair in a low pony tail right infront of me for a really long time that I kept stairing at. I told myself to keep up with her, and I did, for a while. Then after I got to the fourth mile I got really tired and walked for 30 seconds then kept on running, and caught back up to that girl. Eventually she passed and right when I really wanted to give up on mile 5 Nog came back for me. So I kept pushing and I finally crossed the finish line. I beat my goal time by 7 minutes! It was such an amazing feeling and I loved that Nog did it with me. We didn't get to take pictures while we were there so we took some right after before getting in the car to drive home. It was a great way to start out our Thanksgiving Day !


Victory!!

After the run we went over to Brian and Pat's. Pat's family came too it was alot of fun. These are pictures mostly Rae took at the park. Gav loved this scooper guy. He was on it forever.

I love Ky's pose in this one she's getting so big, so pretty.

I love this picture

That's a keeper

The kids barried Kaydence in the sand to her knees then put her shoes next to her so she looks like she has tiny legs. hahaha

Oaki too

after leaving Brians and Pats we went to the Goodmans for another feast. I have no pictures but it was a really good time and we ate WAY too much for 2 meals in a row.

....

That next day was the Turley's side family reunion. It was so much fun seeing all the family and hanging out, dancing, talent shows, being really big dorks mostly.

Eatin diner


I LOVE them!!

Andrea and her boy

The Duncans talent.. this was really the best







Temple light (they were on this time)

Then we went to the Pearce side for Sunday diner and made ornaments with clay. :)


Last year at ornament night I made a really weird looking troll guy that Nog always makes fun of so I told him that each year I'm going to make another bigger and better each time... Although I don't know how I'm gunna beat the one I made this year
