101 in 1001

I was checking out Blogs when I came upon Jennifers (Jennifer is a friend of Scott's, they have worked together and also taken classes together for work. I don't know her personally but Scott speaks very highly of her). Anyway, she has this 101 in 1001 posting that I just loved. So I decided I'm going to do it, this is very exciting for me (pick 101 things you need, want, wish or need to finish then complete them in 1001 days). These are things that I always procrastinate on, so spreading this stuff on a paper then putting it on my blog and making a goal works for me. I have a very supportive husband who wants me to keep my goal, so I put things on there that would not have been done for many many years (love you). Also by putting it on my Blog I have the support of my family and friends (I hope:). So wish me luck....

What a Month

Ok, I know its been awhile since I have done my blog but I have a really good excuse. When I think of one I will let you know. Seriously, I just have been going none stop for the last few weeks. Halloween was two days of activities, then after that we decided to head off to Utah. It's nice to have two days off of school so we can visit everyone. Then right after that we had family come and visit us. Dad, Mom, Aunt Becky and Uncle Mike, We took them for a ride while they where here, I think they're still spinning with all the Vegas lights. wheeee.....
Friday
First thing we did after they got here was take them to dinner and the show "KA" at the MGM.
That was a very cool show!

Saturday
We went to the Temple (Beautiful) then headed to the Olive Garden (my favorite) for lunch.
After that we did a little shopping then we went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay.
(kids got mad they didn't get to go)


Sunday
They went to church with us then it was time for them to go home.
We had so much fun, the only time we had a break was when we were driving or sleeping.
I hope they will never forget this weekend because I know I wont.
We love you guys and hope to see you sooner than later.

Halloween

Can you believe Halloween is over? Well it may be over but we had a wonderful time while it was here. Thursday Morgans class had a Halloween party, then we all took of to see "THRILLER" at the Tuacahn theater in St. George. Tyler and Morgan loved it and decided that it will be a family tradition every Halloween. Scott and I both agree that it's a good idea.
Check it out, tuacahn.org

I just love to make costumes for Halloween and Morgan wanted to be dead zombie girl, so I thought it would be funny if she got attacked by her kittens. We pinned one of her stuffed kitties on the back of her and cut up an old t-shirt and jeans. The funnest part was doing her hair, she has a lot of it and it was everywhere. Tyler didn't want to do any of the Halloween stuff so I found this jacket for him, what a party Popper. Friday was Halloween so we headed to our church and had dinner and did the Trunk or Treats, it was a blast!!!
