Happy Halloweenie

Kyle and I decided we wanted to carve some pumpkins this year - We have been a little disappointed with Halloween the last couple of years in our neighborhood, but still wanted to do something since we both "use" to love this holiday so much! Our Halloween the last 3 years have been lame....we totally dressed up in costume...our house was like the hanuted house you were always so excited to see when you were little....but 3 years in a row we had NO STINKIN Trick or Treaters!! Seriously!? We were totally bummed. Oh well. We didn't decorate other than our carved pumpkins this year, and tricked out the truck for "trunk or treat." It was nice. No expectations this year. Ha Ha.

Happy Halloween!

My old roomie Nicole is expecting and is having a baby boy!

Kristen and I headed down to Vegas to catch up with Ash and head over to the baby shower for her. It was lots of fun to get to catch up with the girls again!

Fall Fun!

Becca and the kids got to come down and visit over the weekend since they had a few days off of school. It was so fun to get to see Megan 7 Jake! We took them out to the corn maize at Staheli Farm on Friday night and we had lots of fun roaming in the fields and hearing screams of horror!

Thanks for the fun weekend filled with FUN! Love you all! xoxo

Otter Creek

Kyle's Birthday was Friday - he is 25! Yes - we are finally the same age again...haha atleast for another month or so! :) Anyways, he wanted to get out of town and shut the world out for a bit. We packed up and headed to Otter Creek. I am so glad we got to go this weekend because it was so perfect! The weather was absolutely AMAZING!

We got up there early enough for Kyle and Eddie to go take the boat out and catch some fish! Kyle caught a pretty good sized one, which we ended up cooking and it was so delicious. We found the perfect spot to camp right off the lake. Eddie & Aubrey came with us and then Steven & Jillian came down to meet us too.

We enjoyed sitting around our lovely campfire the rest of the night. I really don't think there is anything more relaxing then sitting by a campfire. I love it.

Saturday we decided to go and fish off the streams...it was so nice outside, I couldn't believe how hot it was for up there in the middle of October! It was a perfect day! Kruz loved playing down at the stream in the water and in all the sand. He wasn't quite sure what to think about Kyle with the fish, but he knew he better be there to help...ya know just in case.

Kruz was so funny in the sand...he was spazzing out and would go dig in one spot and dig and dig and dig...then run around like a crazy boy and go back and dig dig dig. He was carackin' us up. He had lots of fun - got extremely dirty and definately wore himself out. He zonked out once we got back to camp.

I snuck in a group photo of us all...and kruz.

It was such a fun little getaway and so fun to get to catch up with our friends!

We did some yummy BBQ'in this weekend! We had some friends up on Friday night and had our yummy traditional Tri- Tip oh and Boca Burgers for McKenzi ;) We had Tierra and the Felt women up! It was so much fun to finally get to meet Tess's family. I have always heard such wonderful things about Tess and to get to meet her mother and sisters was so great. They are all incredibly amazing and doing wonderful things. I hope we can continue to keep in touch with them - anyone dear to Kyle is dear to me too! xoxo

Then Saturday I was able to go to a friends baby shower - McKenzi Irvin - I also know her through Kyle, they've been friends since high school. They live out in Michigan so we sadly don't get to see her all that often. She was kind enough to come by the house later too to catch up with Kyle since he didn't make it out to the shower. :) ha ha he would have not have thought twice about going with a bunch of women! i love how Kyle is so great about keeping in touch with all his friends that mean so much to him. They hold such a special place in his heart. They are all like family to him. It's so cool. Anyways, it was great to see you Kenz! You're going to be such an amazing little mamasita!! :) xoxo

Sunday evening one of my friends was in town for the weekend. She and her husband were running the STG Marathon - I know right - AWESOME! Anyways, they came by for a little Mexican Fiesta. It was fun to catch up with them too since they live in Chandler, AZ. They now have 2 little boys - they are so cute and full of energy! So fun to see you Michele!! :) Thanks for coming by - even if you were LATE! HaHa

Holy Cow what a great weekend!! love you all so much :)

Happy Birthday Buddy

My very best friend, Chase, from growing up would have been 27 today. I have so many great memories with him and his family from all over. I am lucky to have known him so well, he was such a great person who taught me so much. I miss him lots, but I know he is now in a better place and I will get to see him again one day.

Happy Birthday Chase - I love ya!
