Great week, good people, fun times

Hello all! This week was a great week. Monday and Tuesday were insanely busy with school, but I made it through and we're doing well!

1) On Monday night, Tyler and I went to his grandma's house in Heber for dinner. It was delicious, with great rolls, roast and all the trimmings. We then finished it off with banana cream pie :)

2) That night, we saw Eagle Eye, which I thought was a pretty good movie!

3) Tuesday, his parents came home from Paris and Portugal. We went to Outback with them to eat and it was delicious.

4) I went to lunch with my dad on Wednesday! We met at Kneaders and it was delicious. We are making this a weekly ritual that I absolutely love :)

5) I worked Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. The chilly fall weather, for some reason, makes people want to eat out more so it was really crowded at Ruby River!

6) Watched Grey's Anatomy...don't worry, it's still my favorite tv show

7) I went to lunch with Kacie on Friday. We went to Jason's Deli and it was so much fun! We ate a little too much of their strawberry shortcake, but it wasn't our fault. It was just so good.

8) Went to the football game on Saturday against New Mexico. We bundled up very warmly because it was such a cold day! Like I'm talking a long sleeve shirt, jacket, another jacket, and a coat with a scarf to top it off. Plus a big blanket, snow boots and hot chocolate. For the most part, I stayed pretty warm!

9) After the game, Ty and I went to Pizza Factory. I had been craving their breadsticks, and the didn't disappoint!

10) After dinner, we rented Darkness Falls, a scary movie (in the spirit of Halloween) about the tooth fairy. Yikes.

11) Today, we went to church, then came home and helped his parents/family with dinner. It was delish and nutrish :) I truly love to cook. I made the banana cream pie (twice in one week!) tonight and it turned out well for my first time! Plus, Carol made heavenly rolls. Thank you!

12) I forgot to mention, I made homemade chili on Wednesday night! Tyler loved it, and I thought it was pretty dang good myself! This week I'm going to try homemade bread that I learned at Enrichment a little while ago.

13) Also, it was my grandma's birthday on Tuesday! I went to Williams-Sonoma and got her some bowls and a garlic grater. I LOVE Williams-Sonoma. And I LOVE my grandma! Tyler and I went to give it to her on Wednesday night and had a fun chat with her and my grandpa. I'm so lucky they live so close by. And for myself, I got pink and purple sanding sugar, a candy thermometer, and Martha Stewart's Cookies cookbook! I made cute pink and purple sugar cookies this week! Yummo

If anyone has any great recipes that you think I should try, let me know!

Last but not least, I miss my mom :( Yes mom, that's you! I can't wait to see you next month! You are very missed!!

Sunday Night Baking

Tyler and I decided to make all sorts of treats on Sunday! During the day I made lemon bars and the dough for sugar cookies which we will make into Halloween-shaped cookies. (I got this huge bucket of cookie cutters at Bed, Bath & Beyond that has all sorts of fun shapes!) Then Tyler wanted to make something that he wanted to eat, so we made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We had a fun, relaxing day which was much needed for me :)



Oops! Caught him in the act :)

Halloween Season!

We are beginning the celebrations of Halloween! I promise I'll bring my camera for all our next festivities (I wish I had for these)!

On Saturday, Ty and I went to the lake with they guys he sold with last semester. It was freezing and I ended up staying in the boat (no 50 degree water for me, thank you). We had fun though and I enjoyed watching the boys wakeboard.

On Saturday night, we went to Haunted Forest in American Fork with Courtney and Marc and it was a blast! I love haunted houses! Before that we went to Bajio for dinner and then after we went to Sub Zero to get ice cream. In the spooky mood, we then went to rent the movie Halloween and went back to our house to watch it. It was a fun night! I love the fall!

Last night, Heather and Casey and their kids came over and we did tie die Halloween shirts for FHE. Heather got us all white shirts from American Apparrel and then we tie died them orange! We put them in the washer and then today we will put jack o' lantern faces on them!

I'll put up pictures of Tyler and I in our shirts when we are done :)

Need a picker upper?

Splish Splash, Takin' a Bath

Tyler and his bubble bath....man, I love that cute face :)

Fall has Begun

Here is a picture of Maui...all things have a time and it's Fall time now. I'm going to embrace each turning leaf and look forward to each season! (and lets be honest...look forward to summers ahead because it's my favorite time!)

Well, school has started which has resulted in a lack of extra time of any sort. Holy cow. It's amazing how much time I spend doing homework and reading for school but it really is important to my future career and I am learning a lot. It is exhausting work, but things that I need to know, so I keep pressing onward!

Some of the things we've been up to:

- Dinner at CPK and hiking to the Spanish Fork hot springs with Ash and Bobby...so fun and luckily we didn't see any naked people! (This place has a reputation of always having nudist people laying about...awkward)

- Game night with Ash and Bobby...we played Phase Ten and Ashley made delicious cookies!

- BYU game vs. UCLA in which we trashed them....59-0! It was so fun!

- Happy Sumo with Ash, Bobby, and some other people we might sell with this next summer. It was really fun and we got to the know the manager, etc!

- Tepanyaki with the Parcells for Heather's birthday! Mmm.....our cook was really good and funny. The last time we went we got a guy who hated women and spoke out against dating. Interesting....this time was fabulous and the food was TDF (to die for).

- Watched Baby Mama and thought it was hilarious

- Cooked herbed salmon one night with rice and brocolli (mmm I really love to cook!) and tonight I cooked spaghetti with peaches and brocolli

-Went to my first Enrichment in my new ward and we learned how to cook various foods as we ate them...I can't wait to try them out. Count yourself one of the lucky few if you get to take part ;)

- Ty and I got ice cream at Sub Zero where they freeze your choices of ice cream right in front of you with liquid hydrogen. It's so cool! I got pumpkin yogurt with gummy bears (ha) and Tyler got premium mint chocolate chip (his fav)

- Just finished working on accounting for two hours...school school school school! Looking back on everything though, we sure are able to fit in some fun things although I do work a lot. Work hard, play hard. That's our motto.

We hope everyone else is having a good start to the Fall!

Upcoming: Pictures of our new apartment! (sorry it's taken me so long mom!)

Campire, tinfoil dinners and guns with Ashley and Bobby!

We finally get to start hanging out with Ashley and Bobby!! Yay! Last night we went to the other side of the lake and shot guns (okay, the boys shot guns), cooked tin foil dinners and s'mores and talked and caught up with each other! We had such a good time and look forward to many more adventures with this fun couple!

This is Tyler and Bobby walking around looking for things to shoot
We thought it would be funny, as a joke, to wrap a frozen burrito in tinfoil and say that was our tinfoil dinner :) It got charcoaled! For our real dinner we also wrapped corn on the cob up in tinfoil and chicken, potatoes and carrots in other tinfoil for our dinner. It was delish!

My wild hunter

Messy campfire hair, but oh so worth it!

Bobby decided to take a spin in the shallow shore of the lake. He got stuck but got himself out eventually. It was pretty fun to watch and Tyler was cracking up!
Ashley found a double connected bag of 'mallows in the store and couldn't pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity!
