Thanksgiving...

For Thanksgiving we decided that we were going to California. We stayed with Wyatt's brother in Northern California and then went to San Francisco while we were there.

In San Francisco we went to Pier 39. They had a huge Christmas tree set up. We took a picture in front of it. To me this looks like it could be on a Christmas card... except for that little boy in front. I guess he just liked to look at us.

Wyatt's camera does this really cool trick where you can take half of the picture at a time. So first Wyatt took a picture of me, and then I took a picture of him so it looks like we are in the same picture.

(There is our little friend as well, he looks like he belongs with us! or he just really wanted his picture taken...)

At the Pier

Here is us standing in front on Alcatraz. There were no more tours available that day so we didn't get to go out there.

What a stud

At the pier there was this maze of mirrors....It was the coolest part of the day! We spent quite a bit of time playing in there, trying not to get lost.

We had such a great trip. Thanks Trevor and Mandy for letting us stay with you!

Family Pictures

Here are a few pictures of my family. We took these in August. We are growing so fast!

The Girls

The Boys

The Parents...It's all because of them...

Fall Update...Bon Fire Book Burning

So I started this blog thinking that it would be no problem in keeping it updated. I do have a list of things that I have in mind to write about, but then I come home from work and I just have no desire to get back onto the computer. But I think it is finally time to catch up on everything that has happened since...well...Halloween...ya...

So after we finally went through all of our crap and organized our home, we ended up with a huge box of papers that we didn't just want to throw away and a few books that we would never be able to sell and we never wanted to look at again (yes, old school books). What are we going to do with all of this? We decided that we were going to have a Bon Fire!!! So we got some hotdogs and marshmallows and headed up the canyon.

Look at all that yummy food...just for two

Look at that handsome piro...He didn't stop playing with the fire even to eat!

Our First Home!

Last month we finally finished cleaning and sorting through all of the junk in our back room. I can't believe it took us over five months to put our house together!

So here are some pictures...finally...

Well, the piano fits...but now there is no place for company to sit!

I just love it! I really do have the best husband ever!

Look at those beautiful dressers my dad build, with the help of Wyatt.

They are just so great...I love them! Thanks Dad, you're the best!

My dad also build me my vanity. I just had nowhere to get ready or keep my stuff, and this is perfect!

And there is the tour of our little apartment. It's not too big, but it's perfect for us!

Halloween is coming...

So Halloween is coming and I am just so excited! I really do love Halloween. It's such a fun holiday. We actually went out yesterday and bought our first fall decorations, and I was just so excited. We didn't buy a lot, but just a few things to start our holiday decoration collection!

I have also been brainstorming some fun  couple costumes that we could dress up as. Also, we will be taking any suggestions.

My first idea is the farmer and his wife. 

Wyatt would be the farmer carrying around a pitchfork and I the wife

 (of course).  Then we would hold a frame. That's right. We are the picture, not the people! This idea I got from a couple in my freshmen ward. I thought it was so cute! The rest of my costume ideas I had to do a little research, but I came up with the following:

The 50s Couple

An Ancient Egyptian Couple

How could I resist? I've always wanted to be an Egyptian...

A Prehistoric Pair

We cave people, ugh!

An Animated Pair

Popeye and Olive Oyl...So fun! And Wyatt wouldn't even have to put on the fake muscles...they're all real! ;)

The Well Known German Couple

Hansel and Grettle...so young and innocent

The Pirate Maiden and First Mate

ARG!

The Matrix

Neo and Trinity...We are just that cool

Just this morning we also came up with the idea of Frankenstein's monster and the bride of Frankenstein. I could even wear my wedding dress (ya right!) But we are still deciding. I just hope that we have the chance to dress up!
