Halloween Party

Last weekend a group of us headed into Sammamish to listen to my Dad's band play at a costume party.

Eric as Trash, Alycia as Glinda, Gabe as a Chinese Man, Matt as a UFC Fighter, Sarah as the PO, Me as Elphaba, Tiff as a Witch, Chris also as a Chinese Man, Master Lee as a Rocker and Shelby as a Fairy.Its a really fun venue, and people go ALL OUT with their outfits. Its a great place to see them play. This year they dressed up as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Don't they rock!!?

Alycia and I went dressed as Elphaba and Glinda from the musical Wicked. There were a select few who figured us out, but we felt good about our creativity. I had a hard time with the green, but it worked out pretty well.Check out my belly in this shot! You can tell that this "Fiona" woman is trying to figure out if I am pregnant or just muffin topping out of my costume. I cant wait until its obvious!

Matt went as a beat up UFC fighter, and he had a little too much fun drawing on scars and blood.

I hope that he never REALLY looks like this...

My mommy was there too, and came as a super hot hippie. She even got to play the tambourine on stage :)

Happy Halloween to everyone!!

2nd Amendment

Some friends in our ward took us out Skeet Shooting with the Loftus's and we all had a great time! This was my first time shooting a gun, and I wasn't prepared for the "kick". I have the bruises to prove it!

However, I shot 8 out of 25 Skeets! I am pretty cool if I do say so myself. In the picture below, if you look really close, you can see the clay exploding from my shot. I didn't expect Alycia or I (Marlene had been a few times before) to shoot any since it was our first time, but we got plenty! Check out these ladies!

Matt got to start and he shot 9 "clay pigeons". Of course this event only solidified his want for a Remington, so that is what he will be asking for until Christmas comes. You can see the flame coming out of the barrel in this picture.

Eat a moose's heart out, Sarah Palin! Even though the picture is blurry, I had to share. I was feeling pretty tough with that shotgun.

Thanks to the Nebekers for taking us! We had a BLAST! (Get it?)

Routan Baby Maker

Thank you VW for giving me a Jetta, creating funny commercials, and for creating a website where I can see what my unborn baby is going to look like.

Do you see any resemblance?

Its kind of creepy...

Election Party

We have been very frustrated lately with the lack of information that the media is providing in this upcoming election.

So Matt and I held an election party at our home with about 20 of our friends. The point of the get together was to discuss hot topics regarding the presidential election. Everyone was given a topic to present (either for or against) and then we debated and discussed each one individually. It was a lot of fun, and I think that everyone walked out that night talking about how much they had learned.

And I walked away with TONS of great left over food! Thanks everyone who was able to attend!
