WaRd HaLLoWeEn PaRtY! WoO! WoO!






So we had our Halloween party this weekend. It was crazy leading up to it. I am not on the activities committee but my friend Loni is. So I went to help her out with all the set up. Things were going up pretty fast it seemed. Cody was with me and Landen was napping at home. (I live across the street from the church! So don't freak out!) Anyway. Finally went home and woke him up so I wouldn't have to worry. Went back to the church but he was a big grouch so I went home. A few minutes later I could hear an alarm. I thought maybe a car then thought maybe a burglar alarm? Suddenly Loni calls me and asked if I could hear the alarm? She was sitting out in front of the church by herself with the fire alarm blaring! The other guy who was there helping took off! Jerk! So I go over and stay with her until the police, two fire trucks and an ambulance show up. What had happened was the others guy's 2 yr. old or so son found the fog machine in a box and plugged it in. It was on for seconds before the place was filled with fog and the alarms went off. It is so loud that his boy freaked so Dave told Loni to stay there and he left. In the meantime, these firemen have made Loni the joke of the day and she wasn't even the one who did it. So Like an hour gets wasted dealing with all this. The party now starts in about 20 min. They still had to finish decorating. She still had to change into a costume. Get home to her family and get them ready and so on. Just a little annoying. I felt so bad. But the party turned out good after all the drama leading up to it. I almost forgot to tell you what we all were! I was trying to be an 80's prom queen. I felt more like I was at my '95 prom! I didn't prepare very well. I put this together in about 30 min! Landen was Dumbo. This was borrowed. I didn't pick it but ended up really loving it. He was pretty cute! Cody was Flounder. Also did not pick it. But he rocked it!

A BuSy WeEkEnD fOr Us!

Our fun action packed weekend started on Friday. Me and my bestest friend Loni took our boys to the Barnyard Boo at Thanksgiving Point. The weather was perfect and they had a great time. We got to do lots of fun things! They rode the ponies, went on a hayride, frosted cookies, feed the chickens, saw lots of farm animals, fished for spiders and took lots of pictures!



The boys had been sick this past week. By Friday they seemed to be doing so much better. Friday night was so nice we all wanted to be outside. Cody was playing and I thought was feeling fine. When all the sudden he threw up in the neigbors yard! Great! We changed his clothes and he was right back outside playing. Guess he wasn't too sick!

Saturday was fix the stupid Eclipse day! Poor Matt has been dealing with this car for a couple weeks now. Finally all his parts arrived and he was able to start rebuilding the turbo or something? I pretty much stay out of all that. So he spent all day doing this. Yea! Fun for Matt! While he was out in the garage working away, I went over to the church for Super Saturday. I had lots of fun little decorations to go and make. They turned out pretty cute. I will have to post them later. I don't have any pics of them.





So, on to Saturday night. We had started making sugar cookies a few days ago but with the boys being sick we put that aside. Finally I felt like we could finish the cookies. We had to make another batch because the dough I had made didn't seem so freash anymore. Cody was a great help. He loves to cook and bake with me. He was telling me that he is such a great baker. He really did make his own pan of cookies too. And he frosted them. You will see these babies on the pics I took! Well that was fun but soon it was time to get these kids tp bed. We didn't even get close to frosting all the bats we had made.

Sunday is church day. That is what Cody calls it. We went to church. I taught my little CTR class. I now have 9 kids in my class. I still am really trying to love this calling. Matt got to help out in nursery today. That was very exciting! He was proud because no kids cried or pooped. He seems to have an easy time with kids. After church I went and took the best nap ever. I always sleep when Landen goes down for his nap. Sunady naps are the best! This evening we went and delivered our cookies that were done. We visited a new family in the ward. We love them. They are definitly our "type" of people! We also went to Cody's primary teachers house. She is so great with Cody. We just wanted to thank her. Then... I know. I am almost done. We still had all these cookies to frost. So we made or Cody made more frosting. This time he wanted Black frosting! I dyed it black. He didn't want to do this part. Then we all sat down and frosted away. Even Matt was helping! The End!

Why am I doing this???


So...Here I am starting a blog when I have no time to be doing one. I just felt like maybe I should give it a try. Besides everyone else is doing it. Who knows how long it will last or if I ever get back to it. I am going to try my best though!


I will fill you in on my life. Not my whole life but what is going on right now! I am a mother of two freaking cute boys! Love them to death. A wife to my increadibly handsome husband Matt. I work part time at the best scrapbook store in the world. All My Memories for those who are not familiar with the best scrapbook store in the world. I have been a buyer for them for about 10 years. I sell vinyl lettering on the side. It is so fun but so time consuming. Matt knows all about this since I beg him to help me when I get a huge order. I also teach primary. I don't love this calling but I am learning to love too! In my free time. Seriously what is that? I love to read, sleep, clean, scrapbook, eat, go for drives, shop, hang with my girls, eat, work in the yard, snuggle with Matt, take pictures, eat, watch The Office, organize my house, play with my boys, go for walks and of course eat! I really to eat. I just hate how fat it makes me.


Before I go I just wanted to leave you a picture of me and my cute family!
