The Turner Family

It has become a Turner family tradition to visit Reno every time Boise State plays Nevada.  This happens to fall in November on even numbered years.  Morgan and I have gone down there ever since we have known each other.  So the tradition started in 2002.  (BSU has won every game)

This year we had the pleasure of having our great friends Luke and Steph come up and meet us!

The game turned out with a win (although we should have killed them … two tipped passes cost BSU the blowout), gambling turned out even which is always a win and overall the weekend was a big win.

Thanks for coming Timmons!  We look forward to seeing you guys again soon.

How do you fall asleep during a loud game???

Braden was able to meet Buster Bronco!  He was so excited.

Braden loves his spaghetti! Even if it is the baby food version (which means the first 2 ingredients are water and carrots, then noodles, beef and tomato paste).

The second picture is of yet another boo-boo Braden has gotten. Daddy tried to wipe his nose and accidentally scratched his eyelid when Braden fling his face away from the tissue. Silly Baby!

I see it, do you?

Soon, we will be able to take a picture of Braden just like the one of Kevin. Braden started walking yesterday, on his 9 month birthday. Its just a few steps at a time but he’s mastering his balance and getting places! Yikes!

This was Braden’s first Halloween so he got to go to work for a few hours with Mom, then we took him with us voting and then to the grocery store (all while wearing his monkey costume!) That night we stayed home and had friends over for dinner. It was fun being able to see the neighborhood kids all dressed up, enjoying being out in the dark and going from house to house to get candy. And we had fun playing guitar hero and making caramel apples. I am really looking forward to next year when Braden will be a little older and have more fun.

While I was down in California Kevin surprised me by repainting the exterior of the house. As you remember, the weekend we were supposed to paint, we had the earliest snowfall in record history, so we didn’t paint. The following week however was beautiful and very warm so Kevin and his Dad (Thanks Dick!) got to work on the front of the house. They did a great job and I was very surprised! Thanks Babe!

These are the pictures of Braden’s and the master bath that my mom and I painted while it was snowing out. Lime green and Autumn gold.

I know, I know, I’ve been back for almost 2 weeks and haven’t posted, so here it is.

Three weeks ago, my parents flew into town to help us repaint the exterior of our house. Unfortunately about an hour before they landed, it snowed. Yes, snow. Which means that we couldn’t paint outside. We painted instead and various other little projects around the house. My dad flew back to CA on Sunday night and Braden, my mom and I followed him down there on Tuesday.

On Wednesday we ventured down to Long Beach to visit with my cousin Lisa, her husband Kevin and my uncle Bruce. It was a wonderful time with good food and even better company! It’s always good to see them and we are already looking forward to the next time!

Luke and Steph Timmons came to visit on Sunday. We have certainly missed seeing you guys so much. But we are so happy that you love your new jobs and are enjoying your So. Cal. life!Thanks for driving over to see Braden and me.

The rest of our vacation was very laid-back. We shopped, ate, played and most importantly relaxed. Thanks for letting us come and stay with you. And we’ll see you at Christmas!
