Halloween! Plus Photos!

Last week here in St. George it was quite chilly, it even snowed a little one morning (no, it didn't stick, but flakes were formed...) On probably the coldest night of the week we had tickets to go see Thriller. I was so glad because I absolutely love the show, I was like a kid in a candy store I was so excited. After we bundled up in our gear we headed to Tuachan.

Even most of the night was spent shivering like this:



We managed to laugh a little like this:



And yes we did get a photo with one of the Zombie like people there to greet you:




As I have mentioned many times before I love Halloween, it's one of and could possibly be my favorite holiday. Every year I try to be something different and I feel as though no matter what your costume is it should be made. I also have a strong belief that either hair or face paint must be used. My friend Brittnie and I enjoy playing a game on the xbox called Viva Pinata. For those of you that may not be familiar with this, it's basically just a fun family type game of friendly competition. The characters in this game are a variety of pinata's, hence the name Viva Pinata. After playing this game we decided that being a pinata for Halloween would be a fantastic costume!

Making our costume:






It was lots of fun, and time consuming but, we enjoyed ourselves.

Cameron decided to reuse a costume that we made together two years ago, I don't necessarily agree with this action but, it is a pretty sweet costume! Basically, Cam was a grim reaper, it's actually some character from Lord of the Rings but I can't ever remember the name.




I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!!!

Pumpkins of All Kinds

This past weekend we had a girls craft night. The girls consisted of Jessica, Sarah, Alisha, Marci, and Cassidy. We went to the local scrapbooking store to get some paper, ribbon, and buttons. Then, we went to Brick Oven for dinner. We made a last stop at Lowes to get some wood blocks. I'm pretty sure that the guy who helped us cut our 2 x 4 thought we were crazy but, we sure had fun!

We did some sanding.




Also some sawing/ laughing.



Then painting, glueing, more sanding, the some mod podging, followed by hot glueing, and some ribbon tying!

This is what we got!!!




We made some other things too but, those might be Christmas presents so I can't post photos!

Happy Halloween!!

Let the Halloween Festivities Begin!!

I have always been a huge fan of Halloween! I love everything about it, haunted houses, spooky decorations, candy, dressing up, pumpkin decorating (carving, painting, or vegetable-ing), I really just love it!

To start off our wonderful Halloween fun Cam and I, and our dear friends Brittnie and Dan went to the nursing home where I work and decorated some of the doors in the Alzheimer's unit for Halloween. We had so much decorating! I have received many thanks from the residents family's.

Here are some photos to document out fun!




My favorite door ended up being the ghost door! Hooray for Brittnie and her tissue ghosts!

The boys decorated the spider door but apparently out spiders were too scary and they had to take them down...

Hooray for Halloween and the many adventures to come!

Stuff That Really Grinds My Gears #2

So, I feel like I'm a pretty easy going person and most things don't bother me for example, crickets. I don't mind listening to the crickets at night while I'm going to sleep. To be honest, I find it somewhat soothing, I've lived around crickets my whole life and their has chirping never really bothered me.

Most people that know me, know that I am an animal lover. I like all type of animals, even reptiles. There was a period of time when I wanted a lizard of some sort but, I could never bring myself to getting one because you have to feed them crickets and I hate bugs and I didn't like how the crickets looked all crowded in the bag. I could never get a lizard, or any reptile for that matter because I would be more scared of the crickets than my actual pet!

Well, in the past few months or so I have learned that in St. George crickets don't just hide in the grass, they are all over the place! And wild crickets are even creepier than the ones in the pet store!! Every night that I work I have to take the trash out and every night I have to walk along a sidewalk that seems to be infested with these weird, chirping, jumping (yes, crickets do jump) bugs! They gross me out and I don't like them. I hope it gets cold soon so they will go away!! For anyone who hasn't seen a cricket in the wild I do not recommend it, be sure to stay clear of the sidewalks in St. George during the months of August and September!!

P.S. that picture may have to come off of my blog because it's totally creeping me out!

The Storage Ottoman

I am so lucky to have a husband that is easy to please! For Cameron's birthday I decided to get him an ottoman. He always complaining about our coffee table because I won't let him put his feet on it... It has a glass surface and I hate cleaning it all the time. Cameron has had his eye on this ottoman at Target ever since we doing our gift registry last year.



Now, this isn't any ordinary ottoman it has a storage compartment. I'm not quite sure on what the storage compartment was intended for initially, but Cameron enjoys using it for snacks such as these...



I never thought that this little ottoman could bring so much joy to a person, but apparently it does. I received this text message the day after the ottoman came into our home, "I can't wait to go home and use my storage ottoman!" What a goof!

One Year of Marital Bliss!!

Well, we've made one whole year of marriage! It seems crazy that it's already here. Cameron and I have been very lucky to have such a lovely first year!!

One of our first dates, Friday the 13th in Salt Lake!


Minutes after the proposal at "Dixie Rock."


The wedding day!!




This past year has been wonderful and we plan for many many more wonderful years to come! Love ya Cam!!

My Geeky-ness

So basically, I have dance for the majority of my life and I will forever love anything and everything that has to do with dance, including the TV show, So You Think You Can Dance. I am obsessed with this show, for the past three seasons I have watched it every single week, probably every episode multiple times. Season five ended tonight and I felt like I should let everyone in my favorite dances this season! I couldn't figure out how to put the videos on my blog but here are the links to watch them on youtube.

This first dance was done by Kayla and Kupono, and was choreographed by Sonya (my favorite!)

My next favorite dance was by Kayla and Janine choreographed by Mia Michaels. It was the skirt dance, I couldn't find it anywhere so that's too bad!

Then my very very very most favorite dance of the whole season was the addiction dance choreographed by Mia Michaels and preformed by Kayla and Kupono. For some reason the link takes about 15 seconds to start but it works so just be patient! HAHA

If you can't tell I really really liked Kayla, I wish she could have won but, oh well I guess! I hope you enjoy these crazy good dances!!
