It Snowed!!!

On Thanksgiving Day it started snowing! It rained on and off all morning ... then it turned into snow!! It melted as soon as it touched the ground for the most part. It was so fun to play in the falling snow.


Here is a good picture of Anna and Heidi. On my camera it looks like the street is an ice rink.

The Pie "mmmm"


I know everyone looks like they don't like the pie, but these pictures were taken after they all ate a plate of it and are feeling sick.

We had 4 pumpkin, 1 huge apple, 2 pecan, and 2 cream (vanilla & chocolate) pies. Everyone had a sample of each pie which was then covered with whipped cream. No need to eat for the rest of the week.
I don't think anyone finished all their pie. We snacked on it again later that day when the sensation of being close to exploding wore off.

Halloween

We had a ward trunk or treat that Jacob and I dressed up for. I don't know exactly what we are except we're in camouflage, Jacob's stuffed, and I have some ugly teeth and hair. We made a great couple. Then, Jacob sees a girl with a skateboard and goes off on it. He fell a couple of times, but luckily he didn't get hurt because of all the padding.

Pictures from the yearbook










Love the burns.





We found this website were you can put your face on different people from the 50's- 90's. It was fun to do. The website is found at http://www.yearbookyourself.com/. It's hard to come up with things to post when you don't have any kids, you're doing the same ol' thing (work, school...that's it), and you have no creativity.

Jacob's Internship

I just started a new internship at Goodrich. Yes and no. They used to make tires, but they sold that part of the company. I am a manufacturing engineer intern for the evacuation systems. This part of the company designs and manufactures the inflatable slides and rafts for almost every major airplane in service.
It is a really good company and I enjoy working there. My first couple of days I didn't do much, but now I've been helping out with some projects on the production floor. My first project was to fix a twisted slide/raft. It made me feel like a real engineer; taking measurements, making calculations, and what not. I don't do any of the cutting, just the calcs. My supervisor inspected my work after I left that day and said I had put the marks on the wrong side of the slide. When I told him my reasoning, he agreed with me and had another engineer triple check it and I was right.

Biggest Bubble Contest



Okay, so the contest was with myself. It's been a while since I've chewed bubble gum and I got carried away.
