Adventure is Out There!

I just wanted to put that title because I love the movie UP!. :D We didn't really go on an amazing adventures like swimming the Great Barrier Reef or traveling Europe or other cool stuff. We just went on down to Arizona a few times this past month which are my favorite adventures since I don't live there anymore.

At the end of October, Kirk got home from his mission in Oaxaca, Mexico. It was tons of fun being there for that and visiting with our families. He is still the same ol' Kirk, just all grown up and matured.

Then 3 weeks later, we went back down for Kimber & Casey's wedding! It had been a long engagement for them but it finally came and they are now husband and wife! The ceremony was so sweet and I'm glad I made it. When we had arrived at the temple a half hour early, I realized I had forgotten my temple recommend and I had to drive like a mad-woman to go home, grab my recommend, and get back to the temple. Unfortunately, I got flashed by a camera for speeding....stupid! I hate those things, but you know, it was worth it because I got to be at Kimber's wedding! It was so great seeing our family again, and old friends that I hadn't seen in a while.

On our way up from Arizona this last time, we met up with Abe & Jill, and their baby Jocelyn. They are our dear friends and we always look forward to spending time with them whenever we can. Their little girl is so precious and is such a hoot! We love and miss hanging out with them!

Now winter is coming and Christmas is also just around the corner. Thanksgiving is just a few days away! I can't believe how fast this year has flown by! I need to start Christmas shopping and setting up decorations.

Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving! And eat lots of turkey and mashed potatoes!

Happy Halloween

The Monster Mash

Starring: Scottie, Megany, Meli, Kitty, and Tanner

Pumpkins

It is that time of year where pumpkins are needing to be carved! I LOVE pumpkins! I love Halloween! I think the colors and decorations are so much fun! Well.. I don't really like the gross decorations, just the cute ones. Anyways, so Scott & I went to Macey's to get our pumpkins. They were 9 cents a pound! Scott's was over 30 pounds and they couldn't weigh it on their scale because it was too big! Mine was 24.77 pounds and we ended up paying just a little over $5 for two MONSTEROUS pumpkins!

This is all of us deciding on what we wanted to carve. I would have to say this was the most intense carving I've ever done for a pumpkin in my life and it was quite fun!

Scott's huge pumpkin with its cool stem! I wanted to do a bat & a moon, something different, and Scottie wanted to do a scary face.

He broke off his cool stem trying to get the top off his pumpkin... That bites..

Ewwww... pumpkin guts

I got the bat carved out! Now onto the moon.

All of our pumpkins done and lit with birthday candles inside, that eventually died within two minutes because they were so small lol.

On the top: Casey's pumpkin, Scott's pumpkin

On the bottom: My pumpkin, Kimber's pumpkin

Scott has an evil face just like his pumpkin

I lightly carved out a cloud to go around my moon. It turned out pretty neat!

Scott's 25th Birthday

Scottie turned 25 on October 20th!! I can't believe it! I started dating him when he was 21...It's so weird how time flies! I had lots of fun shopping for him, even though he kinda knew what he was already getting.

Good Morning Birthday Boy!

He wanted me to bring him his presents to him in bed! lolOoooo... what is it?!
(Mom just to let you know, that was your gift you gave him)
Movies: Remember the Titans, 17 Again
Game: Mario & Sonic Olympics on Wii
BYU Beanie! (is that how you spell it?)

And he got lots of shirts from me, because that is what he really wanted! I didn't even spend a lot either! I was so proud of myself! I stayed within my budget and got 9 shirts for him! I went to Plato's and Downeast Basics. Also, thanks to Kimber & Casey for helping me find him shirts.

Movies: Wolverine, Transformers 2, Star Wars 1 (Thank you Weston & Amanda for Transformers and Logan & Blair for Star Wars!)

Oreo Whip Cream Cake! His favorite :)

(Those are the trickster candles!! muahahaha)

Hahaha...

He did it! He is officially 25 I guess.

October Conference 2009

This year, we had the opportunity to go with Kimber & Casey to Conference and it was so wonderful! I haven't been for a few years, so it was nice to be in the Conference Center again and to see the Prophet & Apostles. When President Monsen walked in, everyone got extremely quiet, and watched him walk to his seat. It was the most incredible feeling to know he is a Prophet of God walking before our eyes. Conference was awesome and we learned a lot!

Upcoming Movies

Scott & I were looking at movie trailers and I found a few that I really look forward too... So I thought I would share them with you! :) yay!

The Blind Side - Starring Sandra Bullock & Tim McGraw which is based on a true story. Even better. Just the preview already makes my heart get all fuzzy lol.

A Christmas Carol - Starring Jim Carrey. It looks good, and it has Jim Carrey in it so I hope its funny. Sadly, youtube wouldn't let me embed this onto my blog, so you will have to click on the website and go watch it! Ba Humbug....

New Moon - 2nd book to the Twilight series, as I'm sure most of you already know! Even though this was my least favorite book because I am an Edward fan, the previews look good! It makes me want to read them again.

My Favorite Show

The Office Butt Slap...hilarious

Best Pranks on Dwight: This one video is kind of long, but it is very entertaining.

The Olympic Sport - I love this show

The Office Premiere starts this Thursday at 9/8c!!! We are soo excited!

Extreme Makeover: Weenie Dog Edition

Before: The Fat Shaggy Black Weenie Dog

After: The Skinny Short Grey Weenie Dog
That was all the hair that we shaved off of her. It doesn't look like a lot, but trust me it was!

She is the new and improved Meli! People are going to think we got a new dog. She was so good too when we shaved all her hair off. She was relaxed and didn't try to run away like we thought she would. You would have never known that she had such beautiful color too! She has got a mix of everything: white, grey, black, brown, cream. Meli looks like a puppy again!!!

I love to Laugh

I have always loved this video. It's pretty hilarious :)

This is one of my favorites ever!! This woman is so funny!

End of Summer

On July 15th, an awesome movie came out in theaters!! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I was so excited for this movie because this one is my favorite book of the series. I do love the 7th one because it ends everthing but I just love the 6th book the best for some reason. We went the day it came out and only had to wait an hour! I heard of people waiting for 2 or more hours. The midnight showing had people waiting in line since 5 p.m. Even though I do love movies and Harry Potter, I could never do that. Anyways, the movie was fantastic! I loved it!! I just wish they didn't take out the fight scene at the end of the book.. Oh well it was still soooo cool!

Dumbledore and Harry

(I actually liked the actor that played Dumbledore the best in this movie. He was almost how I pictured him in the books. He didn't act crazy and mean to Harry like he did in the 4th movie. It was much better.) Malfoy & Snape.. the "bad" guys.

Hermione and Professor Slughorn

(The man who played the Professor was alright. He wasn't exactly how I imagined him in the book. But I guess he'll do. And also, Hermione was actually really, really good in this movie! She didn't overreact and Scott & I were pleased with her acting.)

Ginny & Ron

(Ron was so funny in the movie - I think he is a pretty good actor for what he does.)

Okay enough about the Harry Potter until the next movie. :) hehe.. Well, these pictures are of our new table that we bought April of 2008. We bought this table for $30 on KSL (its like a craigslist.com) and we wanted to refinish it for our place. We have a nice table but this one is better. So Scott is finally getting around to refinishing it. It is looking good so far and I can't wait for it to be done! We are going to do a cherry-red woodstain on the chairs and table too. It will look good :)

At the end of July, Sam, Cherri, Logan, Blair, and Annalee all came up for a cousin wedding. We had the honor of having Logan, Blair, and Annalee at our place. It was so much fun having a little baby around! She is a cute little girl and such a blast! And we're expecting another little niece on this side of the family and we're very excited!!!

Scott is absolutely adorable with children. He has always been really good with the sunbeams but he is sooooo cute with lil babies. Scott will be an amazing dad and he is already such a fun uncle! Annalee loved having Scott take her around and find the cat and dog. She adores him and I can see why.

Do you remember my orchids that Scott got me for Valentine's Day? If not, well you can go look back in February on my blog and see them. They are still doing really well and blossoming so much! It has been so much fun taking care of them and watching them change. The only thing is that we are now getting a different pot for them so they can stretch their lil roots and grow some more. So we did and I don't know why but we took some pics.

Scott and me with my crazy face
