I got a fever...and the only prescription is MORE MIKKI!!!

So, Mikki let me know that it's not very cool that I haven't blogged specifically about her. I agree, that is unacceptable. This blog is about Mikki and how AWESOME she is...just in case you didn't know. Follows are pics and videos from her recent piano recital, Halloween and soccer game. Mik can run SUPER FAST!!! She has lots of friends and is always happy, cheerful and silly. Silly is her middle name and she does a great "County Fair Accent"...you know, people that run a county fair have an accent of course. She read all the Twilight and Harry Potter books and is working on the series called Mediator. She recently entered a drawing for tickets to the Cheetah Girls concert...and WON!! I hope you all can fully appreciate now, even if only a little bit...that MIKKI ROCKS!!







Halloween...she is Nastia Lukin...Gold Medalist for bars...note the "chalk" all over her gym clothes




SOCCER is her GAME...Mikki is her name!!




Look for the blonde pony tail...





Here is Mikki on the sign at my elementary school in Tempe...Go Roadrunners!



Last but not least...The County Fair Accent...Enjoy!!

Turkey Bowl + Daniel + Marci + Us + Brining = The Best Thanksgiving Ever!

We had such a fun Thanksgiving and so much to be grateful for!! We were so lucky to get Daniel for the weekend, he flew down from Pocatello for some sunny skies and warm weather and instead got RAIN!! We have never had pouring down rain for Thanksgiving EVER!! We loved having him here and just hanging out and talking and playing Mario Kart a TON...we all want Yoshi!!!



Marci came too...wouldn't be T-Day these days without her and I let her get crazy and bake a pie, didn't really realize she was a pie lady but sensed subtle hints last year that we're lame that we don't have homemade pies which I agree, that's lame, but I'm not a pie maker although for one brief moment while watching Keri Russell in the movie "The Waitress" I did want to start baking them...but anyway, I thwarted Regan at the store as he goes to buy a pie and said...NO REGAN NO!!! Marci will quit coming if don't let her bake!! By the way, don't cook with her unless you know what you're doing cuz she'll shut you DOWN!! hehe I follow recipes to the "T" and she is all Stone-ish a little here, a little there, la-de-freaking-DAH and it turns out great! Don't ask her about the Raspberry Sherbet Punch Drama of 2007 :) I must say, our turkey was amazing!! We brined it and it was dripping with juices. Like seriously.





We did Black Friday for awhile with no complaints except Maddi the Non-Marathon shopper whined and made us go home after too much shower-gel sniffing in Sephora. We also went to Organ Stop Pizza and temple lights Saturday night...Daniel ran into his bff for life Tyler who is serving his mission here in Mesa. Daniel's old basketball coach Andy also paid us a visit!










Okay, all in all...super fun and the STONES ROCK at TURKEY BOWL!! Regan and Jim Stone saved the day and played on the team of girls and lil people cuz typically, annually and frustratingly...our kids complain about the football drama of super competitive MEN who won't pass the ball to girls or kids :) Come on guys, we just want to have some Turkey Bowl FUN!
