Halloween Party 2011

Nate and I had a few friends over for Halloween Saturday night. One of my coworkers was nice enough to cover call for me that night (but Sunday still kinda sucked in that respect) so we could party it up!  Really just a few friends from the area came over and we played some game then headed to the North Liberty bars to finish the night. Here are some great action shots of the night and the costumes;)

Muammar Gaddafi and his female bodyguard.

Jarrek and his LMFAO costume. He was shufflin all night long;)

Mummy Dogs! These were actually much more labor intensive to make than I thought they were going to be, but still yummy!

Nutter Butter ghosts

We finally made it to the bar were there were cross dressers galore, or some reason.

Sookie and Vampire Bill (Ashley and Brett)

Notice the nice white makeup Brett is wearing, ahah! Too bad the vampire teeth wouldn't stay in place!

Below is the video from the band LMFAO that inspired Jarrek's costume. Hilarious! Next year I think we all plan to be some character from Spaceballs. Woohoo....

Go Hawks!

So, we finally played a fun, exciting, good game! AND WE BEAT THAT DAMN NORTHWESTERN;) Whew! Even though I am technically an alumnus of both schools, I'm DEFINITELY A HAWKEYE. We had a great day of tailgating with a 6pm game and luckily no one got out of control (in our group).  I also recently found out our friends Stephanie and Nick whom we tailgate with are expecting twins! Due date is now middle of February, I think..... So many people I know are expecting, how exciting!!!  Anywho, here's some pics of our group tailgating and of the awesome card trick and colors of the game.



I thought this video showed the card stunt pretty good, AND showed off our great plays of the game! Got me excited all over again!

Maddy's Wedding Weekend!

So, my camera died immediately after the wedding, but I still got a few good pics in!  The first weekend in October my very good friend from college Maddy married Tom Karels!!! The wedding was in Peoria right along the riverfront and the weather was PERFECT! It was a great weekend (maybe a little too good for me...) and we had a great time.  The reception housed a photo booth and a great band and we rocked out with a bunch of great people;) It was awesome! The bridal party rode around in a fun trolley to get our pics taken between the wedding and reception and the scenery and fall colors were gorgeous. Now I can't wait to be in my wonderful friend Heather's wedding next summer! Woop Woop!!

The wonderful bride and groomie!
