Halloween 2013

Halloween was a good time this year! I decided I didn't want to dress up and be all pregnant while at work. So I asked for the day off from the credit union! Halloween afternoon at Ryan's work is a very big deal to his company. All family and friends are invited to come and trick or treat at all the different departments. Each department usually has a theme and goes completely out! It makes it a good time for all that come. Ryan's team all dressed up as western theme, so I thought I'd join in!

Here's a group shot of us with Ryan's co-workers in front of the Jail and Bank. There was also a General Store that the little kids were able to take coin they were given from the bank to purchase a toy or candy! These store fronts were seriously constructed just for this day! They were specially made to attach to the cubicle sides. Crazy peeps he works with! Oh, I almost forgot...they had real live chickens for the kids to look at too! 

Fun stuff! I am really excited to take our soon to be Baby D. to his work next year! 

After all that fun that afternoon we went over to the parents house and enjoyed some delicious clam chowder and taco soup with the family and grand kids! 

Here we are! I'm glad I have a mom that has to take a pic of us all the time! 

Good memories for sure! I love Halloween and can't wait to get a pic next year with our little man!

Halloween 2012

For Halloween this year Ryan and I went to my parent house for our annual Halloween Party with the family! We ate some delicious soup and food and afterwards we went trick or treating with some of the kids! I think they had a great time and loved getting scared by Ryan. They have a good time together teasing each other. While we were out there were some crazy boys that were throwing water balloons at people and of course some of us got hit. RUDE! Hopefully the phone call to the police helped catch those little rascals.

Ryan and I dressed up as Mickey and Minnie Mouse and loved how our costumes turned out. We made our mouse ears and bow and I was so grateful mom found the material for my skirt. She used her skilled and sewed it up for me real fast! I found my yellow flats at Fashion Corner in Draper for $18.00!

Anyway, we had a good time together and ate way too much chocolate.

Hope everyone else had a fun and spooky Halloween. 

Conference Weekend! A Day of Relaxation and Inspiration

Not only is it my favorite time of the year, its my favorite Sunday of the year....

Happy Conference Weekend everyone!!

 Ryan and I are very excited to listen to some inspired men that help lead and guide us in our life together as a family and as disciples of Christs church! What a good time to relax and receive some divine inspiration.  

We had to plan out our treats for the sessions!

Bright and early this morning we enjoyed some delicious Reese's PB cups.

Holy crap....They are lovely.

Even More delicious.....

            Second session we enjoyed our homemade Spinach and Artichoke dip!

Anyway, while we were nourishing our body with all of these amazing high caloric treats and dip we also nourished our minds and spirit!

Some of the things I took note to in my journal were not very helpful now that I am blogging about this....lol
(I've never been good at taking good notes.) I am going to post the two talks I really enjoyed.

These were my absolute favorite and have some pretty inspiring things they said.....

If you didn't a chance to listen today, here they are for your enjoyment.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

"The First Great Commandment"

President Henry B. Eyring

"Where is the Pavilion"

Thomas S. Monson
President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

"The age of young men to serve missions is now 18 and for women it is 19 years of age"

 " Take an inventory of your blessings large and small."

"Never ignore the prompting to serve others."

"May we be tolerant and Loving"

Some of you may think I am silly for posting about Conference, but I really do love watching it and wanted to write my feelings down so I would remember what I felt today while I was listening to the things they had to say.

I found this Pin today and really liked it.

 I know I am not perfect and will never be. I realize I do not know everything, but I do know how I feel when I serve others and when I live the gospel to the best of my ability. I have faith and I have hope!

I live it and love it.

Thanks mom and dad for all you've taught me. I love you. 

Midvale Main Street Sept. 2012

Ryan and I had our pictures taken a week ago to help an up and coming photographer out! 

Her name is Whitney Hunt and she is a friend/client/and Zumba buddy of mine.

She is starting her photography business up and wanted some models so, this is what she came up with! I thought she did a great job!

-Thanks again Whitney-

This and the one above are my ultimate fav.

Ryan likes these two pics!

I like the green with our haircolor!

Anyway, kinda fun! Just wanted to share!
