We are spending Thanksgiving in Tampa this year and decided to run in the 28th Annual Turkey Trot. There were three races on Thanksgiving morning (1 mile, 5K and 10K). Everyone walked the one mile except for Erin who ran in the 10K (6.2 miles) and did great. There were 2,397 runners in this race and she finished 58th overall for the womans group in 46 minutes and 56 seconds. Here is Erin finishing the race.

Here's the crew after the race (Erin doesn't even look tired!!)

It was Eric's birthday today and we got all dressed up in our Panther gear and went to a Carolina Panther's Football game! It was a blast; cold, but fun! It's always nice to see our home team win! When we first got there and parked our car, Eric and Josh started playing catch with the football. Eric was on top of a hill and Josh was at the bottom. Josh threw Eric a pass and Eric dove for it down the hill...he rolled down and landed straight on the concrete sidewalk! Luckily he laughed about it because it was hard for me to keep from laughing! No major injuries, just a little grass stain!

Well the school semester is finally coming to an end! After Thanksgiving I only have 2 more weeks of classes then finals. I'm SO excited because that means I'll only have ONE semester to go. I registered for classes yesturday and that was a great success. I only needed Calc IV and a Senior Project class to get my Math Degree, but I need 10 hrs. to graduate. So that means I'll just have to take a couple electives. I chose Child Psychology, Gender and Education and Healthy Lifestyles! I figured those classes would be interesting and not too too challenging (I hope!) But before I get too excited, I needed to finish this semester first. I'm in an Applied Math class and it's killing me, but I'll get through :) Wish me luck!!

At the beginning of September we went on a vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. We have heard lots of great things about this area, but had never been there. Michael and Erin (friends from work/Liam's parents) and Jon and Jen (Michael's brother) invited us to come with them and we had lots of fun. Plenty of time at the beach and pool with friends wore out Tyler and gave Erin and I time to relax at night which was nice (Of course, we had fun at the beach and pool also!). Here are some pics from the vacation.


Tyler was very excited about Halloween this year. After going back and forth between Batman, Spiderman, Bob the Builder and Tigger, he finally decided on Mr. Incredible. We went over to John and Jennifer's neighborhood so he could trick or treat with his friends.

He also helped design and carve the pumpkins he is standing beside. Pretty exciting!

Today's such a beautiful day! I can't believe it's 80 degrees in November! Tyler and I have the weekend to ourselves while Eric and his friends are all going camping. You should of seen how happy and excited he was to be going. He's been looking forward to this trip for a while now. Tyler and I took the day off from work/school to hang out together. Before Eric left today we all played outside in all the leaves. Tyler wanted to "push mommy in." They definately succeeded and I left trails of leaves throughout the house! I can't believe how many leaves are in our back yard! After Eric left, Ty and I met Morgan for lunch (Panara Bread, YUM!) and now he's napping. I promised him we'd go see some of his friends when he woke up, so he's looking forward to that :) Now what am I supposed to do in this quite house! Maybe I'll go lay out outside and get a tan! Ha! A tan in November, what do you think Morgan ;)
