Halloween

We got together with my family to carve pumpkins on the 20th since that was the only day that worked. We got our pumpkins at sams club but my dad needed one so i offered to pick it up for an excuse to hit up the pumkin patch. we went in the jumping house, down the slide and pet the animals, rylee met up with us half way through. We were in charge of a creepy dessert so Matix helped me make earth worm pudding, and he helped with the whole thing and loved every minute of it.. espesially the taste testing. My mom gave me the carving utensils since she couldn't make it and of course i forgot to grab them. so me and adam took a trip to walgreens to buy more.. so next year we are going to have more than we know what to do with, since weve already collected so many over our years of carving.

Me and matix went to Desert View's trunk or treat. Brandon had scouts, so he couldn't come. we went over to my parents early, i did my dads hair and make-up for his dracula costume, i looked up a picture real quick on my phone and he was all for it. love doing that kind of stuff and he got a lot of compliments. sheree and garys family along with adams sister wendy came to. we ate, played games, and got lots of candy.

The weekend before halloween we went to Dumont. We left thursday afternoon with sheree adam jade and my mom. we got a perfect spot next to a hill to ride and dig in the sand. adams friend brad let us bring his rhino so we could take matix and jade around... they absolutely loved it. and matix rode in the little razor with one of the boys next to us. everyone showed up the next day, all of their friends, gary lindsey and my dad. We rode all around me and brandon went up comp hill which wasn't as scary as what people seem to make it. went to the north pole, and just had a great time matix loved digging in the sand climbing on the bunk beds in the trailor and chasing brads dog around.. but most of all riding in the rhino. oh and matix locked himself in the trailor. Brandon put him inside and shut the door for time out and matix trying to get out locked the door. we were trying to think of what to do for 5-10 min when we realised there was a little door that was unlocked jade climbed in but brandon just followed her thinking she wouldn't figure it out. and we didn't have to break a window thank goodnees. went to comp hill at night.. thousands of people, it was crazy and me and brandon headed home that night but got a lil lost.. didn't make it home till 1:30, so that sucked.

 On halloween we went to tara and petes for dinner, took the kids trick or treating in tara staleys neighborhood since their neighborhood was pretty dark so we had to skip a lot of houses. went back, the kids did their first trading section, and the kids went to bed while we stayed up and watch Scre4m.

Brandons 27th Birthday

Brandon got records from a yard sale 50 cents a piece, and figured he would sell them for more.. but then decided he'd rather keep them. so for his present i ordered a record player, which said it would be here 24-48 hrs, but in all actuality it was almost a week before it got here. so the day before his birthday ups tracking says it wont be here till wed. when his birthday is tues. so i was definately stressing about that. on top of all that i had planned a surprise party for him, and the day before he tells me he is going to scouts on his birthday. i convinced him to let me take him out, but it was a struggle... and i almost spilled the beans.the morning of his birthday i tracked his present which said it wouls arrive that day, so i was praying it got here before he got home from work, and it did. Then Brandon gets home from work at 5:30 the time i planned on leaving. but luckily we had time to go to Famous Daves eat with no rush and get to Laser Quest by 7:15 where everyone surprised brandon, and he truly had no idea. We played one round and Brandon took first, we then headed to golden spoon for some frozen yogurt. though i had planned on the cupcakery but it endedd up closing at 8. It ended up being a great night and i think everyone really had a blast, i know brandon did.

conference weekend

We had a great weekend, fridaynight we rented transformers and watched it with our aunt margene, she is staying at my in-laws for now. we woke up early saturday morning and took matix to his friends cali and deegans house, denise offered to babysit while we went to the massage school to get two for one massages. We waited about an hour, brandon got a guy and had to talk to the front to try to swap. I got called and went back. My massage was great when I got out Brandon text me he was in the car. I couldn't stop laughing on the way to the car. they wouldn't let him trade so he just got his money back. on the way home we stopped to get my parents projector. picked up matix, whom did awesome for denise. went home and got ready for pottery barns fashion show and trick or treat. Again with denise and her kids. they let your kids put on their costumes, model them and go around to get candy and stickers, it was a lot of fun for all of us. They chose the costumes for each kid. kind of a bummer but he still looked adorable. When that was done we picked up brandon and got supplies for our movie night. we invited some friends and family on friday to come sat night to watch a Despicable me on the projector, have popcorn and snowcones. And we actually had a pretty good turn out for only inviting them the day before. Brandon went to priesthood, so by the time he got home everyone was already there. he quickly set up the movie while we just hung out and started getting our snacks. everyone had a blast and the weather was perfect. We slept in sunday morning. came to the tippetts and made breakfast for everyone, which was delicious.Except Bret and Tammy went to utah for Brets missionary reunion and wedding planning. we finished up the first session of conference,i made a bunch of freezer meals for my fam... witch we swapped that night. watched second session, then headed over to tara and petes for fam dinner and planning for the holidays, while the kids played outside.. very accomplished and fun weekend.. though we need to watch the rest of conference, thank goodness for technology. Oh, and found out my sis in law michelle is pregnant!!!! so excited
