Asher is the smartest 5 month old ever

So we're back! We have a ton of things to do, and we'll try to do lots of posts from the trip...but I had to get this video up that we took of Asher last week. He just learned this new trick, and it's hilarious :)

Thanksgiving Driving: 1 day, 10 hours...and counting.

Joe and I are lucky enough this year to turn our normal 4-day Thanksgiving weekend into a 9-day Thanksgiving extravaganza. We're leaving this Friday to catch a show in Vegas, then we're spending a few days with my brother and sister-in-law in Southern California. For Thanksgiving, we'll be with Joe's sister and brother-in-law in Northern California. We have a few things we want to do and see...but are open to suggestions! If you know of something we just have to do, please tell us. Here's the GPS system I begged Joe to let me get. I'm not sure if he was tired of me talking about it, or if he didn't want to be the map-reader on this trip. Either way, thanks dear!

A few things

Joe went in for an overnight sleep apnea test on Saturday, (results are pending...). The lady got him all hooked up, and then told him not to move because she was going to make sure everything was good to go. This is Joe, all hooked up, and not allowed to move.

And these are from Marcus's post-Halloween party last weekend. Joe and I put minimal effort into our costumes this time. He was a hockey player and I was a girl wearing a Raisin Bran Crunch tshirt, (which I'm pretty sure I stole from my brother at some point. Do you want that back, Jake?) The second picture is our friend Jared. We found out his Costco card says "Jarded," and for some reason that was the funniest thing ever to me. Even funnier, when we took the picture he was accidentally covering the J, so it just says "Arded." Then there's pics of Marcus and Dan, too.

Happy Halloween

The funny thing with this blog is that people are going to think we do lots of fun things all the time. The truth is I wont post pictures of us sitting around our house, so you get to see all the fun stuff. Halloween was great; I was a witch and Joe was Jim from The Office. We started the festivities at Joe's office party. Everyones' kids showed up and just went to each cubicle for candy...which can't be any harder than Trunk-or-Treating. I swear, no effort is necessary anymore to get candy. After that we went to Dan & Judy's for some great food; Dan & Nicole's to say hi; Cameron & Wendy's for cider, hot chocolate and donuts; and we finally saw Jacob's place just down the street from us. For having no Halloween plans, we kept ourselves pretty busy.
