Day 304

These are two of my nephews sporting their halloween costumes. Keegan was spiderman, and little Parker was a monkey. They are so adorable! HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Day 303

Andy's sister & her husband built this photobooth (well this picture is only like a third of the entire photobooth). They took it to a high school dance tonight. When the dance was over, they needed some help taking it down, so Andy, Nick, Tami, and I came to help. This photobooth is seriously so cool! If any of you are interested in renting a photobooth for a party, wedding, or dance then rent it from Northern Utah Photobooth.

Day 302

Before class today, I went to go see if I could find my other math teacher. I wanted to talk to her about Diane, but she wasn't there when I got there. Because her office is right across the hall from Diane's office, it was hard to miss the large card on Diane's door. As I signed the card, I couldn't help but think about how unreal this whole situation seems. It's really hard for me to think that she's gone! I couldn't help but shed some tears as I looked through the pictures on Diane's door. I am going to miss her so very much! She was an amazing friend & teacher!

Day 301

One of the most amazing teachers I have ever had passed away this morning. She and another awesome teacher of mine were just named Math Teachers of the Year for the state of Utah! She is one of the main reasons why I decided to become a math specialist. I just can't believe she can be teaching class one day and be gone the next! Life is too short. I am going to miss her so much! Thanks for being such a great example to me, Diane! I love you & miss you!

Day 300

We had a fun night at Andy's parents house to celebrate Wayne's birthday. I absolutely love birthday parties with Andy's family. They are always so fun. After the birthday party, we all carved pumpkins. I think Andy's grandpa ended up carving 2 maybe 3 pumpkins. He was having so much fun with it!

Day 299

Andy painted his air soft AR-15 tonight. He was practicing for when he paints his real AR-15. I think it turned out pretty good.

Day 298

I took some pictures of my newest nephew, Parker, today while we were having our Sunday family dinner. This is a picture of his classic "angry eyes." I think he is so dang cute!

Day 297

Andy & I went to the Hooper Haunting with Andy's family tonight. Benson dressed up in his Halloween costume. Isn't he the cutest golfer (or dolfer as Benson would say) you've ever seen?

Day 296

So I got my Adobe Photoshop CS4 in the mail the other day, but didn't get a chance to install it until today. Well, the installation and serial number had some issues so I tried to get a hold of Adobe by telephone to get things settled. I was on hold for over an hour and a half, and then it just hung up! Good thing there's Google! I was able to find the solution online after a few hours of searching.

Day 295

I don't know how Andy does it! He travels during rush hour every single day. I got stuck in some bad traffic today, and let's just say I'm not very patient. I thought I was going to die!

Day 294

I love working at two elementary schools! I have access to so many great childrens books! I had to do an assignment with kids books, so I thought I would take a picture of the books I checked out.

Day 293

One of the schools I work at had a "Knight" at the Museum. They wanted someone to take some pictures of all the festivities, so I volunteered. Here I am sporting my princess head piece that I made at the event! It was so crazy & loud, but I had a lot of fun!

Day 292

It was raining as we were getting ready for bed tonight, so we opened the window to listen to the rain. It was actually kind of fun!

Day 291

Sundays are always fun days! Here is Benson waiting underneath the tramp for me to come out and jump with him. Isn't he cute?

Day 290

I was inside doing the dishes when I hear the lawn mower start outside. I looked out the window, and this is what I saw! My husband mowing the lawn for only the second time since we have lived here. I have mowed it every other time! I am so happy he did this for me!

Day 289

Andy came home from the grocery store tonight with a bag of flour that will not fit in our cupboards. When I asked him where we going to put it, he set it on the floor and said, "Right here." It made me laugh so I had to take a picture.

Day 288

Oh how I love fall! This was the sight I saw as I walked out of class today. The colors Fall brings are so amazing. Love this time of year!

Day 287

My adorable, but very temperamental, nephew, Keegan. His new favorite thing is trucks (he doesn't quite say trucks--it's sounds more like the f word). I was playing with him today, and he threw a fit because I was holding the truck the right direction, but he didn't like it. What a silly, silly boy!

Day 286

Andy came home with this today. It is a camo golf bag. Now Andy can enjoy his favorite color while he golfs. What a weirdo!

Day 285

Andy & I went to Nat & Casey's house for dinner tonight. The moment we walked in, we found Benson up on the kitchen counter just rubbing his eyes and screaming bloody murder. I guess he had climbed up on the counter, put soap on his hand, and then rubbed his eyes. You can't really tell in the picture, but his eyes were pretty red. The poor boy.

Day 284

Keegan met baby Park (as Keegan calls him) for the first time today. Keegan was so interested in this new little guy in our family.

Day 283

The Training Table's amazing cheese fries! You gotta love 'em. Andy & I had a fun dinner at the Training Table--A Utah Original (that was for you, Andy). We love that place!

Day 282

Andy & I went on a group date with Andy's friends Tony & Nick and their dates. We first met at Iggy's for dinner (VERY EXPENSIVE--at least for Andy & I), then we headed to the Punkinaze. The cornmaze was not scary at all! We saw a total of two scarers and they were both smaller than all of us! Although we didn't get scared, we had a wonderful time playing hide-n-seek in the corn maze. It was an amazing group date!

Day 281

My sister, Kristina, and her husband, Evan, had their baby boy, Parker, this morning at 2:27 AM. He weighed in at 6 lbs 7 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He is such a small lil' guy, but I love him to death! I sure hope all these babies that will be coming into our family won't make me baby hungry.

Day 280

My Andy, diligently studying for flight school. He has tried reading me some of the stuff that is in that book & I don't get it at all! Andy must be some kind of genius if can understand that jiberish!

Day 279

Today is a special day for two of my sisters! My sister, Kristina, and my sister-in-law, Shawnee, share the same birthday. I hope they both have a spectacular day. Happy Birthday, Kristina & Shawnee!

Day 278

"Quack! Quack! Quack! Bang! Bang! Bang!" (That's what Andy wrote on our calendar for October 3). The opening day of duck hunting was this past Saturday. Andy actually maxed out that day. He shot a total of 7 ducks, but he paid a price. It's his good lookin' bruise that he got from the kick of his gun. Look's pretty good, eh?

Day 277

This is the lovely hail that I got to drive to work in today! Yet again. I hate the cold/snow!

Day 276

While the boys were at Priesthood session, us girls made this. We are going to make some kind of shape for every month of the year to use as our "O". For October, it's a candycorn--not an egg like some people might think.

Day 275

Here is the newest gun that Andy has added to his collection--an AR-15. I think guns are taking over my life!
On a different note, today was my younger brother's birthday today. Happy Birthday, Curtis!!! I hope you had a wonderful day.

Day 274

Andy's sister, Tami, & I took a little road trip down to Orem to visit the Modbe showroom (which is not very big). After our shopping spree, Tami took me to this great ice cream shop called Subzero something or other (I can't remember). Anyway, you tell them what kind of flavor and any kind of mixings you want, and then they make it right in front of you! This is my Raspberry Snickers ice cream (I know it sounds weird, but it was so yummy!). It was so cool!!!!
