WingShack Takeover

We celebrated my birthday lunch at The WingShack. We sort of took the place over--rearranging all their tables into one giant one. Thanks to everyone who came out to share in the fun. I'll see if I can name everyone in the photo, starting with Callie on the left.

(L to R) Callie, Brandon, Ryan, Nicole, Ashley, Chris, Cody, Jose, Sam, Me, Cannon, Joey, Dave)

Not pictured: Scott and Jeff. I think there was 1 more.

Chickens & Goats

The rest of my photos from Arizona...

Spent a day at Jen's house. I've always liked pets that do something for you, besides simply being a pet. Goats mow your lawn and chickens lay eggs. Perfect pets.

Who could resist this face?

Celebrated my birthday at Dave & Julie's house with friends and family. As you can see, dinner was delicious.

And exhausting. Remember when we used to fall asleep mid meal, and then someone would carry us to bed? I miss those days.

David performed in a live nativity scene that evening.
Lacey's adorable girls with my nephew Seth. All smiles. Even the goat.

It was pretty cold out for Arizona. But then again, my mom would still be freezing even if she were wearing a polar bear suit in the Sahara desert during mid day.

A Day at the Swap Meet

Dave and I went out to a local swap meet on Saturday. Plenty of interesting people and things to look at.

Strolling the dogs.

That's some impressive leather art you got there.

Thanksgiving 2009

Visiting the family in Arizona for Thanksgiving again this year. Started off the day with the Mesa Turkey Trot. I think I've run it about 8 times now.

This is Amy coming in the home stretch.

Our family has outgrown having Thanksgiving at a house, so this year we moved it inside the church cultural hall.
