Halloween 2010

Halloween was done up a little more this year than previous years.  Seth and I both dressed up and went to our ward's Halloween Carnival.  I have been working with the achievement day girls and they put together a haunted house for the carnival.   It turned out much better than I ever thought it would.  I also learned that it is possible to burn spaghetti!  That's another story.  We also went to a Halloween party this year!  Overall we had a ton of fun. 

This is the only picture I got of us all night.  We were the Princess and the Pea!

What's That Wet Dog Smell?!?!

We gave the dogs a bath tonight.  Wow what an experience!  We started out with Einstein in the sink.  He did okay with a few shakes and only tried to escape once.

  Then we thought it would be a good idea to give Charlie one despite our past experience.  We tried to get her in and she didn't want anything to do with that.  Once we got her in and settled she was okay but it was a fight to get there.  Once we were finished with her my entire bathroom was covered with hair!  Oh it was disgusting.  We pulled a huge fur ball out of the drain and cleaned it off the walls and toilet!  I think it was more work cleaning the bathroom after her than it was actually giving her a bath. 

It's so fun owning dogs.  They are a lot of work sometimes but they are so much fun.  We love our little fur babies!

Gone Fishing!

Seth and I love to go fishing.  With me being out of school for the week we finally go the chance to go.  We took Kaycie Nielson and her two boys with us.  Kaycie works with Seth and asked us if we would take her boys fishing.  We had such a good time and even caught a fish!  This is more eventful than most fishing trips we take.  The kids had fun playing with the worms and one of them even touched the fish after he caught it!  We all had a great time!

Family Pictures

Thanks Amy and Dana for taking our family pictures.  It was really great to get everyone together to take these.  If you know my family you know that sometimes that's not an easy task.  But we were all together for the first time since our wedding and happy to have each other around! 
My grandparents haven't had family pictures since my mom and aunt were in high school.  My aunt hasn't had a picture of her family taken since Hayley was three months old and my family's last picture was when I was a freshman in high school.  Needless to say it was time.  They came out great!

 My grandparents. 

                                          I love this one! It reminds me of high school.  hehe.

Where has the time gone?!?!?!

I know I know it has been forever since I blogged.   I always manage to be where I need to but always forget the camera.  So I have basically zero pictures to report.  We've lost a whole three months of our lives with no pictures!  That is definitely something I need to work on. 

We're still alive over here.   We made it through both of our birthdays, school, and work. Seth got me a dish washer for my birthday!  I'm so excited to finally have one.  I can't believe I survived a year without one.  It's so nice to wake up to clean dishes in the morning!  I'm working full time now and going to school so it seems like I'm never home.  Hopefully this second half of the semester will be better.  I'm only taking two classes instead of four.  Now I'm on the job hunt for something in the evenings while I student teach.  I can't believe I'll be graduating in May.

Seth and I have been busy with our church callings.  We're both primary workers and I have taken on the achievement day girls.Here is one of the ice cream sculptures we made at our last activity day.  They are so much fun and never cease to surprise me. I've been busy busy busy but I'm having such a blast.  Sometimes it's easy to lose focus and forget about everything you have.  But I am blessed with an amazing husband who always finds some way to make my days better, a job with some wonderful kids who are always good for a smile, and the opportunity to receive an education which I wouldn't have with out our wonderful families.  Seth and I have so much to be thankful for.  We're both so happy with the direction our lives are taking us.
