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

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!
