World of Color and ride pictures

Splash Mountain - trying not to get wet!

This is my favorite picture that we took I think. Look at Tyler!!! He gets sick on rides sometimes, and he doesn't look too happy about Space Mountain! The best part is that he looks like he is going to die, and then right behind him I am having the time of my life. We died laughing when we saw this!

Above is the Hollywood Hotel ride. We went on it twice! It's so fun because it's creepy and so fun when you drop down the "elevator shaft." Jocelyn's face on the top left is so funny. She was so scared and was screaming even before the ride started!

The World of Color pictures are below. It was so amazing! They had Disney music playing, and they would also spray water across so they could project images of Disney characters and parts of Disney movies. We loved it!

The last couple o' weeks

I love the weekends. These last two have been lovely.
Last weekend after work, Ty and I bought some hooks to hang our Christmas lights up at Home Depot, then bought a few things at the Provo mall. We got a warm hat for me and also some of that yummy smoky cheese from Pepperidge Farm. It all felt very Christmasy :) We then went to Mountain West Burrito with Marc and Courtney then went to their house to play Ticket to Ride and watched a movie.

This is Cannon and I in our matching hats! :)

Look at my sweet nephew, Ryker. I LOVE him.

The next day, Tyler and I decorated our house with Christmas lights! We wanted to do it before it gets freezing cold. That night we went to Texas Roadhouse with his parents, Sadie and Craig's reception, and then the BYU football game

They had make your own s'mores at their reception and I thought it was so cute!

This weekend, we went to dinner with Oakley and Scott at Shoga on Friday night. Jocelyn was our server. We then went to see Twlight, Breaking Dawn at University Mall.

The next morning, T and I slept in, then I made German pancakes.

Yummo! We then cleaned out his closet and we have 4 bags of clothes to give to D.I. Our closet looks great now!

We went to dinner with Curtis and Kim, and Jocelyn and her date Nate at Goodwood. It was so delicious and we had the largest onion rings on the planet. Great company too.
After dinner, Ty and I met up with his parents to go to the BYU football game. It was cold, but that didn't bother me one bit. Why, you ask? Because I had:
- Two pairs of socks
- North Face snow boots
- 2 pairs of sweat pants
- Snow pants
- A sweater
- A sweatshirt
- A jacket
- A large black, thick coat
- Mittens
-Warm, toast hat
-A large blanket
-Hot chocolate

I could have slept outside in the 37 degree weather all night!

Tonight we had Thanksgiving dinner at my Grandma's house and it was delicious! Mmm. I made little Tootsie roll turkeys, a cheese ball and pretzel raspberry jello salad. We had a honey baked ham, butterflake rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, yams, stuffing, veggies, salad, crackers and cheese, and olives. And of course pumpkin pie for dessert. Oh man, it was good!

My aunt Michelle makes homemade whipped cream, and she was trying to spray it out of her special bottle and it sprayed all over the kitchen, all over my grandpa's back and pants and all over the people in the kitchen! It was so funny. We had such a good time. I love my family.

p.s. I should really bring my camera around more often. My iPhone camera doesn't produce the greatest quality photos.

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!
