What are you thankful for???

John and I went to Arizona for Thanksgiving this year! He has family down there so we all headed there to eat turkey:) We had a great time, it wasn't that much warmer than here though! I will have to post pictures of the trip later when I get pictures sent to me, I forgot my charger for my camera and it died the first night:( The night before Thanksgiving we were given play dough and had to make what we were thankful for, I thought it would be fun to show you what John and I came up with! I felt like i was 5 again it was great!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

 

this was my creation! (I didn't do well in art class!)) I am grateful for obviously John(and I even included his beard), my dog Zoe, my cat Tequila, and of course money:)

This was Johns creation! He is grateful for family (the T meaning Torghele), Me!!(the M for Megan), Golf, and snow!(that a snowflake!)

Lissy and I! Lissy is thankful for her Kitty Chloe!

Grizzly "John"!! 

Oh..... its that time of year that John decides to grow out his beard! It is getting pretty thick:) He thinks that he can go until January without shaving! Does anyone have any bets of how long he can go! I thought I would post a before picture when he was cleanly shaven and one now,  then before he decides to shave! We will see how long he can go!!  He is also growing his hair out! Hairy or not he is still cute! 

How long can he go!!!!

These Kids are Crazy!!

We just got a pool at the end of the summer and have not used it yet because it has cooled down quite a bit but that did not stop Gracie and Braxton!!! They swam until there lips were blue! They are funny, here are some cute pictures of them!

John, I and my family celebrated my 24th birthday at Roosters my favorite restaurant!  Things have defiantly changed over the years,  birthdays just aren't what they used to be like! It was good to just hang out with the fam! John also turned 24 this month! He is exactly a week older than me!

After dinner we went and hung out with Gracie and Braxton, they can keep us entertained for hours!

 

John and I put the kids on these horses outside of Roosters, I don't think you are supposed to climb on them, but we couldn't resist!

South Carolina

John and I went to South Carolina this summer with his wonderful family! It was so much fun! For there family it is tradition every year to go to their lake house in Georgia but this year we rented a beach house on Litchfield beach and spent the week there relaxing on the beach and having wonderful southern meals. Johns mother is from South Carolina and she is the only one that lives in Utah so it is always so much fun to see her family. We also visited Charleston, SC for a night. It was so awesome there, the history in this town is amazing. We went to old catholic churches that had cemeteries that had people that signed the declaration of independence buried there. The tombstones were so old you could not even read them anymore. We also saw a home where George Washington was entertained in. The history was amazing there and the night life was even better! The had a lot of fun bars and restaraunts. We had cocktails before dinner one night on the top of a hotel it was so beautiful you could see the ocean and all of Charleston while having a nice glass of wine! It was so nice to spend time with his family there are amazing and so much fun to be with.

Johns cousins LOVE him! He is so great with kids, I think he plays harder than they do he is a big kid and the little ones love him!

We were able to spend time with Johns amazing grandparents Ebe and Opa! They are awesome and it was great to see them. And wow they look so good! 

John did some fishing behind our beach house we both caught a fish and we also caught a bunch of crabs! Back at the beach "the Girls" Johns mom Collette and his sister Lissy and I had a corona and relaxed at the beach!

Picture on the top is the entire gang that we visit every summer! The picture on the bottom is all the cousins!
