Happy Halloween!!

Todd loves to go all out on Halloween. Can you tell?

He really bad wanted Rome and him to be Shrek and Donkey

I wasn't quite on board until I found this baby Dragon/Donkey costume.

Seeing his little tail waddle back and forth when he'd crawl around was so cute!!

I didn't wanna be left out... so I decided to be Fiona.

It was definitely a fun day with some creepy experiences.

But isn't that what Halloween is all about?

1st place baby!

and no mom, not baby as in Roman. he he

We love carving pumpkins at our house. We carve them several times every year. This year a couple of them were winners!! Todd entered his in contest at work and won 1st place. He got a gift certificate to brick oven (yummy!...) and a big pumpkin full of m&m's. (also yummy) Gentry and I, also entered ours at an Orem Owls party. We were up til 2 in the morning carving them but it paid off cause Gentry won those season tickets!!! Here's a look at the pumpkins we've carved so far. Yes I've got plans to still do at least 1 more!

Todd's Stack-o-lantern. I have to say, it's the first time I've ever seen someone use a drill and screwdriver when carving pumpkins.

My Owlz pumpkin. It was a lot of work creating my pattern but Rome was a good helper.

Gentry's 2009 season tickets winning pumpkin of Hootz!

He free handed this one.

Ty and Drew's alien

Pumpkinland...

We've been to the pumpkin patch a couple times this year. It was so neat. They have so much to do there. They have lots of things to play on, a mini corn maze for kids, farm animals, a fun light alley and of course many many pumpkins!!

We set Roman down by the pumpkins to take some pictures and he didn't want to be picked up. He was loving just sitting there with all his pumpkin friends. It was so cute.

They had tunnels you could crawl in and Rome thought the were there coolest thing. When I put him in, he just started laughing, crawling towards Todd on the other end. As soon as he got there he'd turn around and do it again, still laughing. I think he would've stayed there all night if we would've let him. It was so dirty but definitely worth it to see him so happy.

Have I already said I love this time year?

Day at the Zoo...

My mom wanted to take her grandkids to the zoo & it just so happen to work out my whole family was able to go!! We had lots of fun.

Short day trip...

This last week, Roman and I headed to go see Misti and her girls. It was great. It's been a while since I've seen them and I was finally able to meet her sweet new baby girl.

The girls rode their bikes, while we walked to the park. They had fun playing on the swings!

Roman - Sayge - Alexye

The drive was so nice. (And not just cuz Rome slept the whole time) The colors were so beautiful. When I first got to Provo Canyon, I thought "Oh so pretty!" But it was nothing like when I got up further by what I think is Daniels Summit, near Strawberry. I've seriously, never seen scenery so beautiful. My camera doesn't do it justice. All the florescent colored aspens mixed in the evergreens were gorgeous! I think it's just one of those amazing gifts that God gives us, kinda like sunsets and rainbows.

I love this time of year it's definitely my favorite!

My quirky little self...

I've been tagged so I guess it's my turn to reveal my quirks. Here they are:

1. My food can't touch. I hate when they do. I'll wipe my plate clean before I put something else on it. Also I like to eat one food at a time.

2. I pick at my split ends. Whenever I'm bored or have nothing to focus on, I find myself doing it. You'd think having done hair for 5 years, I'd know better.

3. I love odd numbers. If numbers are involved, it has to be odd. I'll always pick it before an even. (Just ask me how to win at deal or no deal)

4. I'm left handed. Because of it, I find myself doing many things backwards. But it can be nice when batting, if I can hit the ball!

5. I love cold water. I can't drink water straight out of the tap. It has to be ice water or cold bottled water. I buy it by the cases. Nothing is better than a cold glass of ice water when you're thirsty.

6. I think I have an alien implant. I found a lump that moves back and forth on my shin, clear back in like 7th grade, and swore I was abducted by aliens. Still to this day, I'll show you and stand by my story. Just ask my Aunt Debbie. She knows the truth. (She has one too! Same place. Coincidence? I think not.)

So there you go. For all of you who already thought I was a little quirky there's your proof!
Anyone up for the tag? Go for it.
