BOO!

Here are some shots from Halloween last night. Debbie made a wonderful cheddar chicken chowder and we took it over to Katie's house for dinner. Here is a shot of Debbie, Scout (Ariel), Maggie (Snow White) and Lucy (Tinkerbell)

Here are Lincoln (Spiderman) and Ana (a spider). We first went to the trunk or treat at Katie's ward, and then went trick or treating in the neighborhood.

Debbie with Maggie (a pumpkin) and Lucy (a witch). Yes, they did have two costumes for the night. And yes, they ran away from us every time we tried to put a new one on them. We are so cruel to our dogs!

Lucy the witch!
Maggie and her mommy!

The whole family!

We had a wonderful night and the dogs were so exausted! It takes a lot to get them ready (when they fight you like they have rabies!) We wonder why they don't like dressing up?

Thank You!

Last Friday I (Stephen) had nose surgery. I didn't have anything cosmetic done, but they did rip the inside of my nose apart and changed my whole life! I CAN BREATHE AGAIN! (I can give details to anyone who wants them!) Anyways, I have missed a week of work due to this surgery and my caring and wonderful coworkers sent me a plant. It was SO nice of them! Thank you all for your thoughts and kind wishes! I really work with a good group of people! (As much as I like them, I really don't want to go to work on Monday!) :)

Ready for Disneyland!

We couldn't resist!

Congrats to Debbie!!!

Debbie graduated from Cosmetology School again! California requires her to have 1600 hours and Utah requires 2000 hours. So she had to make up the difference before getting her license here. She finished last week and I am very proud of her! She has worked really hard to get finished and made a huge impression on the school she went to! Here is a picture of the flowers I sent her at school to make the other girls jealous! (I know how girls work in this profession!) I love you honey!

The Long and Winding Road...

I went with Stephen's family to Cornbellies at Thanksgiving Point. Natalie and Abbie came out for the week and we had a great time with them. Above is the corn maze of David Archuleta... (I know we live in Utah!) The most common song was "The Long and Winding Road" which I now hate! The clues that were in the maze were all wrong and would send us in the wrong direction each time! Here are some pictures of the day!

After the pumpkin patch, we met up with Stephen and went to Tucano's for dinner. It was Natalie's first time there. It was a very fun day!

The 14 Year Old Bride

I was involved in a school bridal fashion show and my niece Meili was my model. We did several weeks of practices and here we are on the day of the event putting her look together. It was a long day!!!
Her updo had beads going thru it that were hand made my me!

At the last minute we asked Ana to help carry Meili's train and she was the best flower girl out there!
Here is Meili walking down the runway. She didn't even fall! She was the best looking bride out there! Tami and Stephen watched the whole show and did plenty of laughing at some of the other entries!

Even though we didn't win, (because it was rigged) it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun!

Gavin Degraw

Stephen and I went to see Gavin Degraw in concert last month. We went with our friends, Gabe and Lauren and had a great time! We have figured out that our camera doesn't take the best pictures in the dark, so I have put some of the ones that came out. Many people say they don't know what he sings, but I guarentee that you have heard some of his songs on the radio.

We had a blast being so close to the stage and dancing to the music!

Ana's Big Day

Ana was adopted by my sister's family this last year and they had the opportunity to go to the temple to be sealed this last September. What a fun and exciting day for their family. We were very happy we could be there! Here are some pictures of the day!
