THANKSGIVING FESTIVITIES!

We just got back from our Thanksgiving vacation to Utah. I must say Cody and I are getting extremely good at jam packing 50 things into one weekend. We started off our week by driving to Utah! We swore we would never do it again after we drove the big huge Penske truck but when you are getting paid to do the drive it makes it better. Our intention was to make the trip in one day but we got on the road later then planned so we decided to get a hotel and finish the drive the following day. So where did we stay??? Yep! Wendover baby! ha ha

The next day we met my family in SLC for some lunch and a little shopping. That is where I got to meet my nephew baby Cameron for the first time! Only 8 days old! Thanks Kate for bringing him!

Then later that night we headed down to St. George with Cody's fam for the rest of the week. St. George is always so fun because it is so relaxing. We saw 2 movies,

THIS

AND

THIS,

both SO GOOD

and went shopping, played games, went to dinner, etc.

And this is Cody's cute family! Mar wanted some more pics for their house so we took a few! This is just one of the many!

Thanks everyone for such a fun trip home!

NEW MOON TIMES TWO!

Yes, that is right I saw it twice in less then 24 hours! haha Obsessed much? Well, I did read all 4 books in about 2 weeks...so maybe I am. Not in a crazy way though, I don't think. No pushing or getting into arguments with people in line, etc. I did wear an Edward shirt though. Maybe I am more obsessed than I thought I was??? I really liked the movie, I thought they portrayed the book so well and all of the things that bugged me in the first movie were better in the second.

These pics are from the midnight showing. We didn't take anymore the next day, we were lucky to even get our husbands to come. I didn't want to push my luck and ask for pictures too.

Lindsey, me, and Lara at dinner before the show,

we ate WAY too much!

I think its because we knew we were going to be up for a

while so we didn't want to get hungry again....he he

Us standing in line, cold, but not Utah cold.

And we were fully entertained by a lady in front of us

chowing down on a burrito.

Had to get a picture of Lara and I in our Edward shirts!

Us waiting FOREVER for the movie to start.

We had to entertain somehow!

What better then trying to bite each others necks!

Sorry Lara you have no face.

Us after Diet Coke and Candy!

We didn't even know we were doing the same face!

We laughed way too hard after we found out.

Anyone else as crazy as us? I wanna know what you thought of the show too!

NEW BABY

My sister Kate had a new addition to her family on Tuesday, Cameron Jed. Since I'm not there I haven't seen him yet but this picture shows how sweet his little 7 pounds are. Can't wait to see him! Congrats Kate and Jim!

Thanks Lauren for the cute picture!

THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW...

That this is the WORST MOVIE EVER!

Here are some reasons...

SLOW

WEIRD

LONG

NO POINT

BORING

AND

HAD TERRIBLE ACTING

(I could go on but I won't)

The sad thing is that I really wanted to like this movie but the longer I sat there the worse it got. After all said and a small part of you still wants to see this show then consider saving yourself 2 hours of your life, money, and your sanity and watch the movie trailer. It shows all of the parts that are remotely worth seeing. And if you see it anyway and hate it, don't say I didn't warn you.

(for the record, i don't usually feel so strongly about things but I simply had to express myself)

HALLOWEEN FUN

I pretty much love all holidays but I really really love HALLOWEEN! Every year I rack my brain trying to come up with a costume idea for me and Cody (he's not much help considering he doesn't get quite as excited as I do) this year I decided that we were going to go as BERT AND ERNIE! However I decided just 4 days before Halloween. Some of you are saying "Oh 4 days is enough time" but not so much if you are making your own costume. Yep, me, make the costumes...but I am proud to say I did it! Finished about 2 seconds before we walked out the door. They turned out great in my opinion but our actual outfits could have used a little more help. Maybe next year???

The party that we went to turned out to be tons of fun and we won best costume! I was so excited!

I love any holiday that you can somehow celebrate for a couple of days, not just on the actual day. This year I got lucky! Our party ended up being on Friday night so we had all of Halloween day to celebrate some more. So during the day we went to our friends Tim and Brittny to carve pumpkins and later that night we passed out candy. Can I just add that Cody had more fun answering the door and trying to scare the kids then they did going trick or treating. He is still such a kid!

Me, Cody, Harv, Lara, Brittny, Tim, and Lion, I mean Cason

Us with our pumpkins...I set the automatic timer. Hence the reason why I look like such a dork, my pumpkin weighed like 100 pounds.

Me and Cody's up close

We all had a contest to see who could carve the best pumpkin but we had to make it fair so they had the trick or treaters be the judges. I still don't know who won. But it was fun to have a little competition.
