Our THANKSGIVING

Larry and Vada Dusty's parents came down from Utah for the week and we had great weather for them to play in. We had a small gathering on Thanksgiving just us and Larry, Vada and Jaime. Thank goodness for Walmart, and Fry's being open on Thanksgiving or somethings we would have done with out.

I don't cook, so Dusty, his dad and Jaime did the honors of feeding us

Our table...I am not one for decorations or fancy things on my table but my mother should be proud at least we didn't eat on paper plates.

Ummm...Grams homemade rolls from scratch and Cortez trying to catch a piece of anything.

The day after Thanksgiving we have our annual miniature golf tournament

The girls

Whoever loses buys In and Out.. I am pretty sure I was suppose to buy after this tournament but Vada helped me out and bought us lunch.

The Hunter's

Jaime

WhiteTrash? Could be. But hey it works!

We finally have a grill again! It might not look like what it once did. Oh it was beautiful! But hey it works now, and we have gone almost a year without a BBQ. The weather is beginning to be perfect again so it is time to start grilling. It may look a little white trash but oh well! Yummy food to come.

YMCA

After reading Lyndsey's blog I felt the need to share. They have recently opened a YMCA that is located on the school campus that I work at. I don't know what you know about the YMCA but I swear anytime I have heard about YMCA's it is known to be some kind of shelter for homeless people. This could be from growning up in Utah and I don't think they really have very many YMCA's. Anyways the YMCA that is here is basically a gym. A very nice gym.

Since I basically get my membership for free through my work Dusty decided that he would also get a membership. I am starting to realize that this is a good thing and a bad thing. This year I have been going to the gym more then I have ever before. I am realizing that after going I feel a lot better and my clothes actually fit a lot better go figure. Well now that Dusty is going he doesn't want to leave, he really won't. Dusty has been working out anywhere from 2 to 3 hours a day and he still wants to stay longer. Me on the other hand can't wait to get out of there. I have been doing Yoga, did a kickboxing class, and I am dying for when they begin their BodyPump classes so I can get into the rutine again.

I guess I felt like sharing this. I know it is hard to work out and get motivated to go to the gym because I have lived 27 years that way. If I am not working out with Dusty then I have several friends that are there, again the benefit for the gym to be on campus for all the students and faculty. It is always easier if you have a friend to be with you and to help motivate you. Dusty has been my motivation and I hope that we continue to keep this up.

Cardinals vs Panthers

I had Cardinals tickets last Sunday for when they played the Panthers...oh yeah the one where Warner threw 4 oh wait no 5 interceptions. I am starting to think that Cardinals really aren't that great of a team. But hey they tickets were free and we had a good time. Dusty was working and so I took Jaime with me.

This guy was begging us for our left over cheese fries and nacho's .. I think he enjoyed them way more then we did.

Tailgating before they had a Panther Pinata. It was cute... but no one could break it open
