Halloween Part 2

Since Halloween was on a Sunday this year, we all dressed up Friday at work. It was so fun and the Dr's were such good sports about it. Angie and I totally didn't plan our outfits matching.

Friday night we went to Tay's parents to carve pumpkins. This one was much more successful. I actually had the time to sit down and really try. Haha. But everybody's looked so awesome! I think we've found our calling.

I did Shrek

Blaine did Darth Maul

Kim did a Gremlin

Kristy did the joker

Tay did ET. He and Kim actually ended up doing two, because they got so into it. They had to finish the next day, but it was fun.

Tay's #2: Freddy Kruger

Tay's mom did Golom. (I'm sure these names are spelled wrong.)

Ryan helped Carter do Stitch

And last but not least. Kim's number two was Edward

Saturday night we had all our friends over for a party. It was so fun. We planned to watch a scary movie, but like always, just talked and laughed and ATE! There were so many yummy treats. Here's a few pics from the night:.

The girls

The boys

And the pups. This was the best picture we could get.

Our cute lil family

The whole gang

Here's what we all do best.
The boys: Phone games!

And the girls: Munch on treats.

I love Halloween and am sad it's over. But now we get Thanksgiving and Christmas!! I love this time of year! Can't wait for more fun times.

Halloween! Family Style

This year's Halloween was so much fun. I've got to do this in two posts since we had two parties. And too many pictures. :o)
We got togther at my parents for the family party. We busted our butts to get the basement finished so we could watch the BYU games down there and have the party. This was the first year I begged asked the adults to dress up, and it turned out so awesome! The costumes were so cute and everyone had so much fun!
Harley was a lobster. And a very cute lobster.

Here's the whole gang:

And our little family:

And poor Jazzy had to be wear a basketball head and Kobe jersey.

We ate yummy taco soup and breadsticks, then carved pumpkins. Taylor as always had the best. He did the Mad Hatter. I tried a new carving method, just scraping the top layer of pumpkin away. Yeah.... didn't work so good. I don't reccomend it. But you can slightly make out Princess Jasmine's hair. Good enough.

I love our family get togethers and I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! :o)

Zumba for the Cure!

My friend Laurie is a certified Zumba instructor and a couple weeks ago they did a Zumba for the Cure. It was so much fun, and turned out to be a great success. They raised $1200 for Susan G. Komen, which is awesome!! Here's a few pictures of us sweatin our bums off! :o)

Prefer Tag

Not sure who I stole this from, but I like it. :o)


I prefer..


I prefer yellow over green
and strawberries over watermelon

I prefer brunette over blonde
and diet coke instead of pepsi

I prefer the ocean over mountains
and pancakes over waffles

I prefer comedy over drama
and cupcakes over pie

I prefer chocolate over vanilla
and puppies over kitties

I prefer art over math
and barefoot over shoes

There's a lot of people that I love and admire
but if I had only one choice,
I prefer to be with him.

Life. And a new car!

How the heck does life get so busy? And we’re just getting into the holidays. Man, I’m screwed. I need to get better at blogging!
I thought I would give a little update of our lives. Just for my reference to look back in twenty-something years. (And for the one, maybe two people that read this.)
Work is going great for Tay and I. We spend every waking moment that we’re not at work with our friends or family or playing with Harley. She is growing into the most fun personality, she keeps us laughing every single day. Some of my favorite things about her right now:
-Any flashlight, laser pointer, or even just sun coming through my mother-in-law’s blinds drives her NUTS!
-When she wants an ice cube (her favorite treat) she’ll put her paws up on the fridge ledge and just wait for you to dispense some ice.
-She’s a regular air bud when it comes to balloons. She will entertain herself until they are all popped.
-After doing something she knows is naughty, she rolls over on her back with her ears down and the saddest face you’ve ever seen. How can you be mad at that? It’s too cute!

There are so many more, and I’m sure even more to come as she gets older.
We’ve also been spending lots of time with our friends. We seriously have the best friends ever, and I love how we all get along so well. Every get together all the guys get in their own little world either watching football, or playing scrabble on their phones. They all get so into it, it’s really funny. And all the girls just talk. You’d think after seeing these people several times a week there wouldn’t be much to talk about. But I love our girl talks.
Our families are about the same old. We try to balance them back and forth and see each side at least once a week. Family time is always fun, we look forward all the fun stuff we do.
Taylor is the sweetest husband and spoils me rotten! Last week he came home with this:

He knows what a true Disney freak I am. :o)
Also before we went on the cruise, we decided we should get a new one of these:

Our waterproof one was awesome, but it has a major delay, and for non-underwater pictures, I wanted something a little bit sharper. This one takes awesome pictures! There’s a cool feature on it where it will shoot in black and white except for one color. Here’s a few of our test shots just playing around.

And last but not least, we also got me a new car!

My old one was starting to have issues, and there were ads on the radio that we could lease a brand new Mazda for a little less than we were paying. Newer car and cheaper price? Yes please! So I’ve been loving that.

Oh and PS, I wanted to give an update of my coral burn because it looks pretty yucky still. Which is awesome. I kinda hope it leaves a cool scar. I love good scar stories. Here’s what it looks like 3 weeks after I got stung.

That’s our life for the last little bit. I gotta say I am a very lucky girl and am so thankful for everything I have. I wouldn’t change a bit of it!
