Halloween fun 2012!!!

  Like every year Aaron and I had our Halloween party. This year though it fell on a bad weekend and we had a small but super fun turn out. We missed our friends that could not make it but, we had a lot of fun and some super fun and interesting conversations.

 

 This year I was Flo from the progressive commercials and Aaron was a used car salesman.

  In honor of  our friends " The Thompsons" we played the game that makes everyone laugh.

  Win, Lose, or draw  this is Barack Obama!

  Look at the look on their faces.... pretty funny!

  Then we were off to the trunk-or-treat. This year it was fantastic. My mom planned it and the young men and women did the games, decorations, and set up. Which was really nice! Normally primary is in charge of it and we never get to go do things with our own children. It was so fun! I for 1 am super thankful for all my moms work. It was also on a Saturday and at the Wheelers home so a Big thanks for them as well. My kids loved it!

  Abi was Dorothy! The cutest Dorothy ever!

  Harris was the bravest Batman ever!

 Mam-Maw was the best face painter!

  The only  thing I did not love the 4 fish that we won and are now ALL dead!!! We can not keep a fish a live for anything!

  There was a haunted Forrest it had everything. A graveyard, mad scientist, butcher, crazy clown, a witch with poison apples, and a crazy lady.  It was fun!

  Then we of course  carved a pumpkin. Harris thinks mustaches are super funny so of course our pumpkin had one.

  Last we had our actual trick or treat night. It was hilarious Harris kept giggling because everyone was saying how cool he looked. This was the first year he really got into Halloween so it was super fun when he would run down the driveway to tell me all about it. Abi was super funny because every house she would talk Harris into knocking and getting the candy in case they were scarey so she could run away first if she needed to. She would tell him that every single house.

 Then we came home early and passed out candy! I love Halloween! I love even more that this year my kiddos LOVED Halloween even more.

If there was a contest for Worlds Best mom....

 I would win!! Here is Harris asleep on a pile of dirty clothes.  At least it was time for his weekly bath. JUST KIDDING!

girls camp 2012

   A couple days before girls camp my  friend called and asked if I could come for 2 nights and teach some classes, and also if I could make Thank You gifts for the leaders. I was thrilled! I came up with painting canvases with chalkboard paint added a cute ribbon and button and Ta-DA Thank You gifts! Not to brag but I thought it was super cute!

 My Bed

 On Wednesday I was asked to help decorate the 4th year gilrs table but 3rd yr was going to do the work. It turned out super cute.  Plus most of the girls in our ward were 3rd level so it was fun to be with them.

  Sister Roberts was the 3rd level camp crafter and it was a blast having her as a room mate.

  My mom was there since she is now in Young Women she was happy to be there and be with her gang in the Kitchen.

  They found the best spot to be at camp was the fridge.

  We had a blast staying up late,laughing, crying, doing make-up and hair. I am  positive that we had more fun than the girls. I also got a hold of  my buddy Katheryn and showed her the joys of a hair straightener.  She is so dang cute!

  Thursday night we did a skit as the leaders.  Sister Roberts is teaching me the dance moves which are from the Micheal Jackson Song Thriller. It was pretty fun!

  Here is skit night those cute cooks made up a dance and did it all by them selves.

  Brother Rudd came up with a rap to the music from fresh prince of Bellair about his life. It was perfect!  We laughed and smiled at his cuteness

  Then we were up. We had to dress like the 80's and be a zombie. It was F-U-N!

  Our Girls! It was so much fun to be with the girls. I am normally in Primary and miss all the amazing girls. I was so thankful I got asked to go. Watching the simple things they would do for one another was a huge reminder of all I should be doing. They are all wonderful!

  When we were done Sister Roberts did some  foot rubs and then the girls came in and we
 got some  Oreo delight the girls.

   I was happy to get home but I am so thankful I got to go. I loved every second of it. The best part was watching all these wonderful young women and knowing how nice it is to know we have them. It was fun I laughed more in those days than I had  all year probably. I loved it!

Almost there....

 Most of you know but about a year ago my mom and dad came to Aaron and I and Asked if we would be interested in buying there house. Of course I was thrilled. It is my home the house I grew up in. Does it get any better to raise my own children in the same perfect house I grew up in? The catch was that mom and dad wanted to build a apartment on the back of the property and live there. Me still loving the plan..... Aaron on the other hand is super private and took a bit of sweet talking on my part but  now is thrilled with the plan. We got started on the apartment and we plan to be done and in by October. I can not wait! My colors and plans for the house has become a obsession.  My mom and dad are so happy and thrilled to be able to have Aaron take over the yard and have more time for themselves. They are ready to be able to just  go visit Jen and go on a mission when ever they want. I am thrilled to have my FOREVER HOME for my family! YEAH!

DATE NIGHT!!!!!

This is the double rainbow we saw as we were heading to St. Augustine. Isn't pretty?

Last Friday we did the funniest thing. We made a scavenger hunt in St. Augustine. In the car everyone named things we thought of when we went to st. Augustine.

1. Statue

2.Street performer

3. Someone dressed in historic clothing

4. Newly weds

5. Join a tour

6. Sail boat

7. A tourist with a man purse

8. a trolley

9. Bed and Breakfast

10. A street sign with the letter Z

11. A grave with one of our  names on it

12. A Mitt Romney sign or sticker

13. A fountain

14. A bell

15. A cannon

 Some of them we could not find for the life of us. Apparently St. Augustine is super liberal because a Mitt Romney sign was no where to be found. What we did find was so fun. Laurel kissing  Yoda, Chris finding a man purse, Jen running to catch the trolley, Me hopping in with a street performer. It was a blast. I am glad the Shaws joined us. We loved them being with us.  To all of you I invited and did not come you missed some major fun. Next we do it  we hope you can all make. After we finished we of course picked up some yummy fudge and headed out to eat at Chili's. That was yummy as well.  I love date nights! Holding hands with your man and great conversation is the best!
