Fall!

Moving on from Halloween to Fall. Here is out new Decor. Our Room mate Fall pictures turned out super cute and are just the right touch!

Happy Birthday Ashley Rose!

Yesterday we all got together with the Westover clan to celebrate Ashley's 23rd Birthday! She had navajo tacos which were DELICIOUS and her favorite ice cream cake. She choses a different "scene" for the cake each year but it's always mint chocolate chip and chocolate fudge brownie. This year she picked kit kats and m and m's to be included with the cake. She also got lots of fun new presents! (Sorry about the lighting with the pictures.. my phone sometimes decides to use it's flash and other times it does not. I would also like to point out that Claire helped take the pictures by clicking the "green button" on my phone)

Happy 23rd year to Ashley! We love your guts and hope you have a good one!

The Ending of an Era...

It is the ending of an Era for me, Carmel, and Claire. I got my joy in doing Pageants with them and I loved every second of it! Sadly, this is the only picture I myself have of them. I have recieved others from my emails, but I figured I would just sum everything up in this blog with this picture of the two of them. Mind you Carmels face is not the best, but it is the only one of just the two fo them in their dresses I have. I think they liked it for the most part, it can be confusing for a 3 year old but Carmel still talks about it and Claire liked putting on the dresses. We entered in the Glitz and Glamour Pageant and came out with that one as Prettiest hair and Glamour girls complete with trophies, sashes, a goodie bag, and a crown. We also competed in the Diamond Star Pageant, which was a lot more organized and came out with trophies, sashes, crowns, and a goodie bag as well. All in all a good expierence. Would I do it again? Sure would, but probably later in the future and when we have more time to practice and have a ltitle bit more interest in it. For now, this post goes out to all the hard work Carmel and Claire did to make my dreams come true!

Emergency Prepardness Blog

Ok this this is really irrelevant to all of you reading this, but I am way proud of it so I am going to share!

www.89themergencyprepardness.blogspot.com

As most of you know, I was recently called as the Emergency Prepardness Co-Chair and have been thinking for any little thing that I could do, and so I stole the idea from Mandy's ward on doing a blog. So far, it seems to be a great hit and so far I am happy with it :) Lucky for me, that one will only require an update roughly every week or so. Be prepared for Emergencies!

Carmel and Claire Visit Cybersource

For Halloween my work goes all out and one of their activities is having your kids come trick or treating. Now, since I do not have kids, I decided to show off the next closest thing, C and C. And boy did we have a blast! Everybody at work loves them! (Not to mention they all appreciated being able to see them in real life than just hearing all of my stories about them) We got tons of candy, about a good half bag full, enjoyed a free soda on Cybersource, and had our pictures taken by the spooky spider web. It was a lot of fun and I loved having them here. They also were very show offy in the fact that if they were asked to give a "cheer" they would bust out into song of either Halloween Cat or I'm a Mean Old Witch (See below post) It was very fun and a good Halloween!

We also went to the westover trunk or treating which was fun as well, here are some pictures of Molly and Nathan, a really good one of molly, and the best one I could get of Nathan. I have to say it was quite fun, although stressful. The sad news of it all is that my Alice costume had had it, and is now torn in MULTIPLE places. So, lucky for costume supercenter I get to send it on back. I think the best part about Halloween was we got to go to Frightmare's with Ashley. She slept over, we made shirts, and then had a fun fun day at lagoon, although rainy and cold. Kristen has the pictures, blog post to come! Happy November!

Halloween Singing

Have a very "Wonderland" Halloween!

Ok so my Alice costume turned out GREAT! I am so so pleased with it. My desk, eh, well it isn't exactly what I had in mind, not quite as extravagent, but I think it will do. All in all I am decently happy with all of it and I wish you all a very happy Halloween! Or, a Very "Wonderland" Halloween!

These children are my idle and I can only hope mine will be the same:
