Black Friday

I know we are crazy. But we (Jenn, Cheri (Jenn's mother) Shauna (Jenn's sister) met at 1am (yes you read right 1 am) outside Old Navy.  It was raining and cold and I was sick and could feel getting sicker by the minute.  The store opened at 3 am.  We were the 5th in line so we got our free Rockband WII game.  When the doors opened at Old Navy, it was crazy.  After that we sat in line again at Target, then Hooked on Toys, Walmart, and so the morning went.  I don't know why I do it.  It's not that I get great deals, sometimes, but not worth getting up that early.  It's the thrill I guess, or the crazyiness you see.  By 9 am we were so extremly tired and went home to sleep the whole day. 

Thanksgiving

We went to the West Family for a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Cheri, Jim and Shauna was there too.  Matt and Jenn cooked some very yummy foods including 8 pies...I think I ate at least one my self.  Coconut Cream pie is my favorite.  We had a great time.  We also planned for our Black Friday event, and marked every store we wanted to go to. 

We did it!

We finally opened our doors for the public. What a week. It was crazy! I was sick the whole week, Rick was out of town and we had to get all the stuff up on the wall. Which should be a piece of cake, but the vinyl was not sticking to the walls. Jenn sanded the bumps off the wall and Rick painted just a couple of days before the grand opening. It looked amazing if I may say it myself.

Halloween

This year Isabella wanted to be a cat, and a beautiful cat she was. Dylan wanted to be Jason in Friday the 13th. (Disclaimer...he has never seen it, I'm not that bad!) We usually go to our ward "trunk and treat" but this year Jenn was telling us about their awesome neighborhood, with tons of kids, candy, singing and so on. I didn't know what to think because Jenn kept telling us it's like in the movies. I thought "sure". But it was. It was amazing. Kids everywhere (I think about 400 kids go through) homes were amazingly "dressed up", music, singing...it was cool. So Jenn, same place next year right?

Dylan's Apple Tree

Four years ago we planted a Granny Smith apple tree in our yard. Each year up to now we never had any fruit. This year we did, at least one! Our friend Al Smart is going to help us next year to cultivate it and maybe we will have a few more. It was a beautiful apple.

Our New Place

We moved into our new place on 606 N. Chelan. It is a great spot and with a lot of traffic. There is room to move. We had help from Cheri (Jenn's mom), Matt and Rick of course. We painted, hung vinyl on the walls and windows, and made our store sign...twice. The first one was a bit small. It is so fun to have this company with your best friend. I love what I do and the people I am around.

Lake Roservelt

Here is Dylan and Hudson riding the BIG TUBE. It was so awesome. We stayed in a nice house by the lake with Tyler, Adria, Bree, Schyler and us. Dylan brought Hudson with him. We had a so much fun. The weather was perfect.
