Camping at Mt Ranier

Laser Tag

So I've decided I want laser tag guns. Yup. We got together with two other couples and played late into the night on friday night. It was so much fun! The funny thing is the other couples have babies and were carrying them around in packs on their stomachs while they peeked around corners and ran away from oncoming fire. We borrowed them from a friend of a friend who got them at costco for $30/ pair, which is definitely worth it, but they don't sell them anymore and we don't have tons of money anyways, so I guess I'll just have to hope and wish for them to reappear at costco when we're out of school.

Christmas break we got to go home to vegas to visit with my family. Steve's Mom was actually able to come down and spent part of the break there too. She loved it and they loved her. My little nephew, Ethan, called her Grandma Gigi and kept asking for her. It was adorable.

We went shooting, we went to Skymania, and took a little hike up Sunrise Mountain. Somehow, I wimped out when it started getting dark. I hate hiking down that dang thing in the dark. The trail only goes halfway up and then it's kind of scrambling. When you can't see, it's a lot of fun. So, Steve and I ditched out at 3/4 the way up and walked home from the temple. We also got together with Alise and Danielle, along with their husbands, to play True Colors. We used to play that when I was in middle school with the Bryant girls all the time. I can't believe how much I laughed, and now I have another "want" on my wishlist for christmas next year.

Yay! It's finally christmas time. I love this time of year so much that I begged Steve to let me put up the tree and decorations before thanksgiving, but to no avail.... he wouldn't let me :( , but he promised I could put it up after Thanksgiving. So friday morning, after black friday shopping, I wasted no time. Unfortunately, we didn't put any ornaments up on it because we'll be in vegas for two weeks for christmas. We're so excited to get to see the fam. It's hard on me being so far away from my friends and family, but I love it up here in Washington. It's soooo gorgeous. I should take some pics and add them here so you can see how beautiful it is here.

Welcome to our new blog! I know, I thought we should finally join the rest of the people that keep their family and friends up to date on life. We're going to post every week some pictures and a quick blip about everything, so check in on it regularly.We'll start off with a recent picture of our little baby, Coco.
