Thanksgiving

The 5K Turkey Run!Katelyn got our whole family to run in a 5k. It was really cold when we started out, but warmed up when we were out of the shade and actually moving.
My parents were the ones taking the pictures, and bumped into Cami.

Thanksgiving at Little America. One of the Crowther family favorites. Later we went over to the Gunderson's to have an amazing traditional turkey dinner. Mary is a wonderful cook and made everything taste amazing. One of my favorites is the sweet potato with pecan crust, YUM!

Thanks Grandpa!

First night of Christmas lights on Temple Square.
Liz and Nick, they brought the delicious roasted almonds. Its like a Christmas classic.
Cami and Brett came too. We were happy to go with them and drink some hot chocolate after. Best hot chocolate I ever tasted was at Hatch's Family Chocolates.
The Whoville Christmas tree at Gateway. You just feel like holding everyone's hand and break out in the 'fah who dor reh' song.
Later in the week Ken let us try on some of his flights suits. Jarom was trying them on for real, but I just wanted to join in the fun. I'm glad they have a blue flight suit!

Sunburn for the eyes

This is after the third day of absolutely no light. My eyes may not look that red, but two days ago you wouldn't have been able to even tell I had eyes. I burned my eyes with UV light. You may ask, "what were you doing, in a tanning bed?" No. I was not in a tanning bed. I burned my eyes in my lab running a DNA gel and looking at all the pretty colors. Yes, they were mesmerizing. Who would have thought I would have burned the whites of my eyes to the point where I couldn't see and go to the hospital for some aloe vera for the eyes (basically eye drops but they told me that if I used them more than once they would melt my eyes).
Most wouldn't know that your eyeballs could get burned, but yes it is possible. Because I have light blue eyes I tell people its like having fair skin and therefore burn easily. They could barely believe my story in the hospital at 3 am.
We had to go at 3 am because just like a sunburn, it didn't set in until later that night until finally I couldn't stand it anymore.
My eyes are back to normal now and now I just have more motivation to invent SUNSCREEN FOR THE EYES.
Ok yes sunglasses would work, but in cases where you loose and break many pairs a nice set of clear eyes with sunscreen would work perfectly!don't you just want to look at it too?

Halloween Time

Thriller!!!
Pretty freaky huh? Ya these girls made my mom scream at the top of her lungs. I jumped too when the girl jump over me and onto my chair.
It was a lot of fun to have Mary come with us! Too bad Ken couldn't come...one of these times...
Thriller was amazing as usual!
At Zions Bank we dressed up. We were supposed to be Ute fans.
I was the hotdog at the Ute game. Tyler said I could borrow it if I stitched up the sleeve that was coming loose. When I was opening an account the clients couldn't take me seriously...what isn't serious about a hotdog.

Katelyn was embarrassed when she went to pick up her two brothers dressed up as a teletubby and a hotdog.
Kate the Cat. When Katelyn was little she had a dream she was Catwoman and headbutted someone. Come to find out the next morning there was a dent in her wall the perfect size of her head. She said she had a headache that morning too.
What is different about this picture?
I scared little kids for Halloween while Jarom spent Halloween with me on the webcam. There were a couple of kids that wouldn't even come up to the door. I didn't think I was that scary. I mean, I didn't try that hard.
I'm pretty sure it was the other witch.
My family carving pumpkins.

First one done, that is why you choose the little pumpkin.
Tyler the Grandpa. Jordan the goofy Dad. Becky the little vampire. Katelyn the clown baby. Dad the devilish Uncle. What a wonderful family!
