My long time friend through thick and thin....

Teri and I having an early birthday dinner at Tasty Pizza North in Pequot Lakes, MN. I hadn't seen her in over a year and it had been too long. Love ya girl!

Posin' for Teri!

Really, he did what to you??

Trying to control my best friend!

Playing darts and having a great time with my Angie! I love you girl!

Our Birthday night!

Our favorite bartenders at "The Ol' Pickle Factory" in Nisswa, MN. Me, Angie, Lani and Terry having a blast!

Sweet Baby Kale.

"I am trying to get my slinky box out from under that darn TV stand. I can take time to cheese for the camera."

Love ya little buddy!

I will never eat avocado again!

I'm sorry Auntie Sara...I didn't mean to projectile vomit my dinner at you! I still love this kid with all my heart! Keri and I got a good laugh. :)

Having fun with the Wooden boys!

Enjoying the time I spend with Kale and Leif. Of course Keri, Toby and I had fun playing Wii and eating good food all night long.

Turkey Day 2008.

Thank you Foss's for a great Thanksgiving. I had a great time with you all and the food was amazing. Thank you again!

Busy cook...

Gina was a busy cook during the day. She made many good dishes for dinner. I have to say this is the first year I tried sweet potatoes and they were awesome! I even tried brussel sprouts but will have to pass on those.

Good help...

Scott was the Dish Man. He cleaned up the dishes while we were preparing all the food. I think we used almost every dish and pan in the house. This was only round one of the dishes.

The big brother.

Ian is such a ham for the camera. He loves having his picture taken. We had many good laughs. This is my favorite photo of him.

The littlest of the Foss clan.

I had to work hard to get this grin outta Baby Ben. He was such a good baby while we were preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks Ben.

My first time making gravy...

Thanks to my Dad, I made my first batch of Thanksgiving gravy. It was great. I am so proud of myself. Ian wanted to be part of this amazing moment!

Relaxin' after a good meal.

Ian chilling in the baby seat after being stuffed after a great meal!

Ending our day in style...

A little whipped cream from the can before bed time...I love it! Ian was eating the stuff that fell on the floor too, he loved it!

The drive home...

This was my drive home from the Foss's on Thanksgiving night 2008. What a good way to end the day and the beginning of the Holiday season!!!

An Italian Wonderland.

I took my mom out to dinner at Paravicini's. It was delicious. Spaghetti and meatballs, how can you go wrong??

Wheat Grass???

A nice worker at Keva Juice let my mom go back and have a shot with the wheat grass. One ounce shot is worth 2.5 lbs. worth of vegetables. It is a hangover cure as well as something to take if you are getting sick! Great stuff with a chaser of O.J.

Beautiful day in Colorado Springs!

My mom and I enjoying a special treat at Keva Juice. A little something my friend Wendy suggested..thanks Wendy!

Scrap Mania!

My mom and I went to Archiver's and worked on many different things. I had a great time...she had an awesome time too!

Being Dorks in the Canyon!

These are the hardest shots for me, I don't know why? I'm always looking cheesy!

Angie in William's Canyon.

As much as she is afraid of heights she sure likes to climb up the rocks. That is Cave of the Winds in the background. This was another fun day with Angie in Colorado.

Hiking in Williams Canyon.

This is one of my favorite hikes in Colorado. It is slowly uphill all the way, a great workout.

A play....

Angie, Gina, Baby Ben and I went to the theater. I will have to say I expected there to be more than one person doing all the acting. Needless to say we left during intermission.

Parvancini

Enjoying an amazing dinner at Parvancini in Old Colorado City. Our necks are a little sore.

I can do this...

Reverend Goat finding my center and getting ready to inflict pain.

Does she look scared?

Sinister Tattoo is where it all happens. It is such a tough decision, what should I get put on my body forever?

Trying new activities..

Angie and I went to stamp camp on Saturday morning and made some really cool projects.

Angie takin' a break

We took a little rest at a beautiful point along the trail. Garden of the Gods is in the far background.

Playing in Red Rock Canyon

As much rock climbing you will see out of me.

Our psychic reading...

We went to Celebrations in Old Colorado city and each had our own personal psychic reading. It was very interesting.

This is what we do in Colorado....

Angie got a tattoo while she was here. It is a symbol for "luck" in Chinese. We can thank Reverend Goat for these awesome tattoos.

The latest addition to my body....

So, I also got a new tattoo. It says "family" in Korean.

What I've been doing with my time lately.....

Posin' in front of the picture opportunity spot near the pony rides at the Harvest Festival. You can see Maggie is coming to join me on the hay! A fun day with the Franklunds.

Hangin' with the Franklund's!

Maggie is looking for the duckies! I went with Wendy, Dustan, Maggie, and baby Jack to the pumpkin patch festival near the Garden of the Gods today.

Ian Foss

This little guy is all smiles..even with a new baby brother in the house!

A new baby brother...

This is classic! Scott gave Ian the frozen bottle of Soju from Korea, maybe this will help with a new baby brother around.

Hangin' with the Foss's!

Hanging out with the Foss's and new Baby Ben...this is why I have a job! Thanks, Gina! :)

The finish line....

I know, I didn't put these in a very good order..but I'm very tired! Please forgive me. Here I am at the end of the 5K I walked for the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. September 7th, 2008, Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, CO!!!!! What a beautiful day. Ladies, get your mammograms!

Singing to us along the way....

There were bands set up around the Garden of the Gods playing great music, cheering us on. You know how much I love music...this helped me tons!

Getting ready to start...

Me, Christine, and Wendy getting ready to start the walk. Maggie got cut out of the pic..oops! She was so good! Let the 5K begin....

The beginning of the walk...

This is a shot before we started walking...there were so many people for the Breast Cancer Walk at the Garden of the Gods. September 7th, 2008, Colorado Springs.
