Weekend Fun

After work on Friday, I met up with my mom and sisters and we did a little shopping. After T got off work, he stopped by at Cafe Rio and picked us up dinner. By that time, my cold was getting the best of me and I was going downhill, so we decided to stay in and watch a movie. We went to Redbox and rented Hanna.
It was cold so T got out while I stayed in the car. The Maverik near our house gets visited by some rather unsavory characters. I locked the doors while he stood in line to get the movie.
Paranoid? Yep. Too paranoid? Probably.
Right before Ty got back in the car, a woman dropped her tobacco chew and it rolled under our car. Ty said we could move the car so we could get it. She said, "no thanks" and had her 5-year-old daughter scramble around to get it.
Ty said, "now you have your chew!" in a nice, happy voice after the daughter got it. Awkward.

The next day, I cleaned the house and Ty went to work for a bit, then I ran some errands with my mom. After getting in our car after we left Hobby Lobby (I got some cute stockings, stocking hangers, and wrapping paper), we were about to pull out and my mom said, "Is that Tyler?!!"
We stared at each with confused faces until I could grasp that Ty had just pulled up to Hobby Lobby. :) He was there getting materials to finish up his killer pine wood derby car.

That night, Kim Taylor and I popped into our ward party for a half hour. It was a soup competition so we sampled some delish soup. Ty went over to start the LSU vs. Alabama game with Dave. We ran into Curtis and Kim at the party and all finished up the game together afterward.
The girls painted their nails and we all ate a lot of sour watermelon gummies. Yum!
Curtis was sitting on the couch with the bad angle to the TV, so I said he should sit in the middle of Dave and Ty. I told him it would be a Curtis sandwich. So he did.
He specifically asked that I not post this picture on my blog.

Sorry, Curtis. Some things are too good to keep to myself.

Halloween Night - M&C's party

Halloween started out with me putting on my gold cowgirl boots, ivory and snakeskin belt, and plaid shirt with my hair in pigtail braids and a cowboy hat to wear to work :) After I got off work, I went home to make Zupa Toscana soup and grab my pumpkin bread that I made the night before.

Marc and Court's party was really fun like always! We ate and played some awesome games.

Marc, Court, and baby Cannon. I didn't catch a picture of him with his corn on the cob outfit on, but it was such a cute family costume idea

Sydney and Casey

Jess and Alec

The newest sherriffs in town

Cowboys vs. Indians
When Ty and I found out they were going to be Indians, Ty had the great idea to surprise them and show up as cowboys

Our home teacher Matt found out that we were dressing as cowboys, and let me borrow the shotgun that I'm holding. It made real shot sounds and even spit out shells!

The Care Bear family :)
Elizabeth and Dane

Apple Bob

Donut eating contest. T was a good sport. I hate eating donuts fast! It's so hard!

Jenga

We played Jenga on Sunday night; a game I haven't played for years! Look at our skills. See how the tower is teetering? It didn't fall!!

On that round, anyway...

Mom and Daughter - Leopard Style!

I showed up at my mom's last week and we looked very similar :) Like mother, like daughter!

Pumpkin Carving

On Thursday night, we had dinner then carved pumpkins with my family. The dinner was DELISH! We had pizza and salad. The salad is made with lettuce, green onion, almond slivers, and sunflower seeds, then topped with a dressing of red wine vinegar and sugar with pepper. It is seriously yummy.

My pictures aren't that high quality because I took them with my phone, so I vowed to myself that I would bring my camera with me more often :)

We roasted the pumpkin seeds afterward. We also had a taste of pumpkin ice cream that I bought at the store because I couldn't resist.

I love nights with my family!

Halloweeny Weekend Fun

This weekend was a blast! We went to Lagoon with Kim and Dave on Friday after work. They have Frightmares going on right now so it was fun to see the scaryness while walking around :)

T and I got a carameled apple and it was yum. We rode lots and lots of roller coasters and it was fun!

(sorry for the quality of the pics...we only had our phones with us!)

On Saturday we went to the BYU football game, then afterward we went to the Blue Lemon to eat my mom, Katelyn and her date. We then went to Hee Haw farms and it was SO much fun! They had kettle corn, mini donuts, farm animals, a giant slide, and pumpkins galore. We took a hay ride to the haunted walk through and it was seriously scary! They don't cram you in there like most haunted houses, so they let all five of us in at once. It goes through a scary white building and also through the woods. We loved it!

Sundance fall colors

Last Sunday, Tyler and I took a drive up the Provo Canyon where the fall colors are GORGEOUS. We went up to Sundance and walked around. It was so nice and peaceful. I think fall is my favorite time of year. Crisp, chill air, spicy apple cider, and beautiful leaves changing colors.
