October came and Went!

So I am officially the biggest SLACKER ever! Heheh It has almost been a month since my last blog!
There has been a lot that has happened since. We celebrated my mom’s birthday September 22nd at Brick Oven in Provo! It was a lot of fun! It was a surprise party!! We invited family and a bunch of her close friends, I think that there were about 40 plus people there. She thought her and Briant were just picking up a pizza and then taking it over to my house for dinner and to play games, but SURPRISE we were all there to celebrate her life with her! It was a great time! J
This October has gone by so fast! I was so excited though. We put up a spider web on the first, and lights, and our Halloween pumpkin witch for the front door. Danny wouldn’t let me put it up sooner! I had a great time putting it up. I love decorating for the holidays. Then we temporarily moved over to a neighbors house and watched their three children for nine days while they attended a wedding in the Caribbean. It was definitely different going from one child to four, but it was a great learning experience and beside having the flu I had a great time! We went to a Halloween party at the Flakes house, made tool witch skirts and we went for a walk in the canyon, we went to Jump On It! We went to Hee Haw farms. It was a great time!
The next week Taelin went to Danny’s parents Halloween party as Pebbles! She looked so cute!
The next event in our lives was Danny’s birthday! Halloween! It was so much fun! It Sure came up fast. Taelin and I got up early and made blueberry muffins for Danny and sang to him in bed! Then we had him open up his present! Taelin and I got him a Wii for his birthday! This will also count as Christmas and an Anniversary present ! He loved his present and we put it together and played a little before he had to go to class.
For our Costumes, Taelin was a Butterfly! I made her body suit and the wings were made by my precious sister Anneliese. (She passed away almost three years ago due to Cancer). Taelin looked adorable! I went as a Cow Girl! I found a maternity shirt at DI. I am so not the best person to come up with a cool costume! Danny however is something else. He went as Barf from Space Balls the movie! It is a spoof of Star Wars! He is a MOG half man half dog! We seriously drove around for ever looking for the right kind of material to make a tale and ears etc… Finally we decided to go for the white and then spray paint it the color that we needed! It turned out great! Danny found his work suit at Savers! It was the perfect color!
The PARTY was a blast! It was at the Robertson house! Amanda and Scott had told us that we were going to have a Halloween costume party and that EVERYONE had to dress up! I will post a picture of everyone! There were some great Costumes! Scott was David Bowie (sp) from Labyrinth, Amanda Cruella Devil, Logan as a Dinosaur, Karen a WalMart greeter, Russ as Joe Dirt, Ian and Celisa Fam. as the Incredibles, Alex as Speed Racer, Megan as a Ghost, and Matt was MIA he was at State High School playoffs.
Earlier this week, we watched cousin Alli, we had a lot of fun. We went over to visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Bitter, and helped them rake and bag leaves! After playing in them. Alli had a blast! Taelin was a little timid when it came to playing in the scratchy leaves. By the time we needed to go Taelin was enjoying herself in the leaves.




Now we are in November and it is going by soooo fast! This month on the 18th Danny and I will celebrate our 3rd year anniversary! Can you believe it?! Married life is great! It goes by sooo fast too fast! There are so many good things that have happened to us since we have been married. We are grateful for our great friends and wonderful family. You have all blessed us with great memories. We love you all… thank you for reading!

How fun and cute! I loved looking at the family picture and all of the costumes. You all have more energy for it than I ever did. Taelin looked adorable in both of her cute costumes and Danny looked funny. I loved the picture of Taelin, Alli and Grandma. That's a keeper.
