Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you had a great one, filled with laughter, good food and great company. :)
Eric and Ashlie spent Thanksgiving at Monique's house. Thanks Mo and Jared for inviting us over. Judy and Scott cooked an amazing dinner, Yvonne and Mike brought the comedic relief as well as some yummy pumpkin pie. Eirc and I were in charge of the sweet potato's and Eric even ate some! Naya and Maddie rounded out the guests at the Robert's house. Ashlie's mom and dad spent time in Montana with Grandma, Stanley, and Uncle Al. It sounds like they are staying warm (it was only 18 degrees there) and having a great time.
Here is a picture of Eric and Ashlie on Thanksgiving. Eric and Ashlie started their relationship on Thanksgiving 6 years ago. :)

Naya: I asked her if she was putting on my shoes...she coyly said no...and then came around the corner wearing my boots, smiling and talking about her shoes.

Ice Cream time: Naya, ice cream and dimples. Can't get any better than that. :)

Cheerleader Naya. Ashlie got this outfit for Naya in LA, she had a couple of outfit changes. First it was her Thanksgiving outfit, then her Snow White costume and now a USC cheerleader.

Touchdown!! Eric, Naya and Grandma Yvonne. USC scores a touchdown and beats ASU in Tempe.

Ride 'em Eric: Maddie, Naya and Uncle Eric. The girls had a ton of fun riding on Uncle Eric. Especially when he made his horse sounds and bucked like a bronco.

Maddie and her new teeth. Maddie lost 2 more teeth.

Uncle Eric and Naya. How cute...Eric and his USC girl.

Well other than spending time with family, Eric has been doing homework, we went to a Blazer game on Friday night (they won and it was actually a really fun time and thanks to Brandon for the tickets) and took a stroll around Downtown Portland. We are getting excited about out upcoming Honeymoon. We leave on December 9th...here we come sunny Mexico. :) We leave right after finals so it is a very welcome break. Well we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

We love you all!
Love, Ashlie and Eric

Sorry it's been so long

Hello Family and Friends! Sorry it's been so long since I have updated the blog. But it has been a very busy couple of weeks. But below you will find pictures from all of our recent adventures.

Here is a little bit of a timeline:


Ashlie was in LA for a business trip November 1-4th while Eric was in Utah with the WOU football team. Then Ashlie went to University of Oregon and Oregon State University for work November 6th & 7th. Then Ashlie went down to Corvallis to see Eric on Thursday night thru Saturday. Eric had a big party he was hosting for his Athletic Training Club on Friday night and then he was at WOU for their last football game. Which they won, 64-0, and then they are going to a bowl game! Then it was my birthday on the 11th so we spent time with some family and friends. Which brings us to today.
Eric is doing great at school, and his fundraising efforts at his party went amazingly. He is the best president ever! Well enjoy the new pictures! Love you all!

Ashlie in Santa Monica, CA. It was pretty smoggy the entire time I was there but I caught a couple of minutes of nice weather so I jumped out of my car and snapped this photo of myself. :)






While I was in LA I was fortunate enough to be able to to go see the USC Trojans take on the OSU Beavers in the LA Coliseum. The Beavers lost.
Here is the flame that they lit.

Tailgating LA style. Yes that is an Apple-tini and real silverware!

While i was in LA I also got to spend time with my BFF Cassi. Here is she and I at the game. It got really cold once the sun went down. :)

This is me at Venice Beach.

Classic LA

Me and Cassi tailgating before the game. Just plain old Corona's from a trunk. No tablecloths for us! :)

We went to the famous Pink's Hot Dogs after the game. Oh boy was it great and worth the wait. There was some great people watching! :)

This is the gift I brought home for Mike. He's got a thing for foam fingers...and well the USC Trojan Victory fingers had to make it into his collection.

Picture from the USC v OSU game.

Here is a picture of Eric at his party he had for his Athletic Training Club as Bingo master.

Eric in action at the WOU football game.

Eric holding is breath taping this guys fingers...he has the worst smelling gloves ever!!

Ashlie and Eric at Eric's house.

Ashlie and Eric the night before her birthday
Birthday Breakfast: Eric got up and surprised me with my favorite breakfast, flowers, and a couple of really great cards. Isn't my husband great!? :)
Family photo: Eric, Ashlie, Marge, Ed, Yvonne, Mike, Monique, and Jared. We all went to Andina a great restaurant in the Pearl and had dinner. I really recommend it! Eric is taking this picture so that's why he isn't in the picture. But there is also one other person in the picture you can't see....the Nugget...Monique is pregnant, yea! I get to be an Aunt again. :)

So that's what we have been up to lately. Future stuff...Eric and I will be going on our Honeymoon in December...so be on the look out for pictures from that in the future.
We love you all, have a great Thanksgiving. We will be at Monique and Jared's so if you are in the neighborhood give us a call. :)
Love, Ashlie and Eric
