The Perfect Storm

On Saturday afternoon Joey and I hopped in the car with Shan, Kev, and Myles and headed down to the Home Depot Center (which was great!) in Carson to watch our alma mater play in the High School State Championship game. The game was really exciting and there were a ton of Rocklin fans that drove down, or now live in the area. We saw lots of old teachers, people we went to school with, neighbors from Rocklin, and all the kids who are now in high school but were in preschool when shannon was in high school :)

We were all supporting the Thunder with our blue and black (even little myles) and cheered along with the rest of the fans. Overall, it was a great game and fun to do with the family! Here are some pictures from our evening.




We went to Souplantation after the game and Myles was a big fan of the soft serve ice cream :)


We are looking forward to Christmas and heading up to the Bay area later this week.

Pray Pray Pray!

"GOVERNMENT CAMP -- Searchers found the body Saturday of a missing 26-year-old climber in a treacherous area near the 9,000-foot level of Mount Hood, and two others remain missing after failing to return from a climb Friday."
"The other missing climbers were identified as Kattie Nolan, 29, of Southeast Portland and Anthony Vietti, 24, of Longview, Wash."

We just learned of the news tonight and cant stop thinking about the Vietti family (as well as the others affected). Please pray for these two and their families who I'm sure are anxiously waiting to hear any news.
(Steve Vietti, brother of Anthony, was Joey's roommate at APU and a is good friend of ours).

Here is the story that Steve posted on his Facebook.

B.H.E.

I have the Best Husband Ever! This is what he handed me tonight when he walked in from work to congratulate me on being done with my quarter. :) Love him!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in Rocklin this year was wonderful. Although we missed our extended family, we had some wonderful friends join us for the weekend.
Myles loves when his Grandma reads to him.
A chef! Mom taught Joey how to make the gravy, and i must say that it was wonderful!

Dad and Kev did a great job with our barbecued turkey, it might even be one of the best yet!
Myles and Grandpa spent quite a bit of time exploring the backyard together.
This little guy is so precious. He loved playing with the leaves in the backyard.
Thanksgiving with the Dunlops. They were a wonderful addition to the Baker/Olsen/Lewis family holiday.

Yum, rolled tacos. Schmitkes...are you jealous?
Myles thinks everyone and everything is a jungle gym!


We were roll making machines!

Hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving as much as we did! Bring on the holiday season!
