Family

My sister Rachel was in town from Portland so we had all the family together for the holidays and for the twins blessing. It was so nice to have them all here. I have 10 nieces and nephews with one on the way! We managed to get a picture will all of the kiddos and it turned out pretty good :)


I love being an aunt- it is so much fun!

Flagstaff

Zac and I went to Flagstaff a few weeks ago because I finally had 2 days off!! Yep you read it correctly I had 2 days off in a row!! It was awesome. We drove up to Flagstaff on a Sunday drove around hung out and then went sledding the next day. I hadnt been sledding since I was a kid and it was tons of fun. We went flying down the hills and there were a few times I thought for sure one of us was going to break one of our bones but all went well :)


Milk- It does a body good

Here we are with our sleds that we thought would be slow but were FAST

Screaming down the hill! Fun but scary!

Zac jumping up from biffing it hard!!

Beater Night

When Zac and I were dating he took me to the Manzanita Raceway in Laveen and I fell in love with Beater Night. Its actually called Bomber Enduro night but I like to call it Beater Night. There are 65 beat up cars anwho do 150 laps around the racetrack. They crash into each other, wheels fall off, hoods fly up, cars start on fire, fuel spills..its a lot of fun. They do it 2x a year and we go each time. We started a Scanlan family tradition and we go as a family once a year. Zac and I love it because we try to find white trash t-shirts and wear them so we fit in with everyone who is there. I loved the shirt Zac picked out!!! I highly recommend Beather night to anyone interested :)

Still Alive

Im still alive just been crazy busy. I have several things to post and I hope to get them all posted by this weekend :)

Christmas Spirit?

Last year I bought all new Christmas tree decorations. I got them all 50% and I was so excited at the time, that I was telling Zac how I couldnt wait for Christmas to decorate. Well its that time of year to get tree and all the decorations out and I have NO DESIRE to put up the tree, to decorate the house or the tree, to bake or to shop. This is not like me. I usually have most my shopping done by Thanksgiving but not this year. Ive decided for sure that I am not going to decorate the house and I told Zac yesterday that I dont want to put the tree up. I think its because I have 4 days off a month all of which are Sunday and its hard to get things done on Sunday and still keep the sabath day holy so I dont get a lot done. Is it bad if I dont put the tree up??? Am I being a total grinch????

GHETTO

You know you live in the ghetto when you get 2 trick or treaters the whole night...count em 2!!! Actually we only had 1.I wont count Zac's 15 year old Sunday School kid who came trick or treating...so ya that makes 1.I wasnt planning on handing out candy but I was sick all day so I though why not. Guess it wasnt a good idea :( Thanks for posting all the cute pics of yourselves as well as your kiddos, I loved em all !!!
