Halloween.......................................09

So, this year Steve and I dressed up as Eric and Ariel from the Little Mermaid. It is one of my favorite movies-just ask my parents. I can sing just like her and they know it! (I wish). But our costumes turned out pretty good. I think it would have been really funny if Steve was Ariel and I was Eric. I don't think he would have gone for that though. Oh well, it was fun. We had trick-or-treaters starting at 4:15!, went to fun parties, and ate lots of candy. Thanks for being a good sport Steve...I love Halloween.

I Miss Fall...

Fall came and went quickly in Logan. It is one of my favorite times of year, especially here because there are SO many trees, leaves and canyons nearby to admire. It's not too not, not too cold, it's just right. I love it! This is a gorgeous view of our street, but my camera doesn't do it justice.

And since Halloween is almost here, my grandma and I made cupcakes with spooky sugar decorations. They turned out pretty cute, she is so festive!

"School" Clothes

On Monday, my mom took my sisters (minus Kaylie who was sick), me, my grandma AND grandpa to Park City to shop for "school" clothes. I don't have school anymore but I tagged along anyway. We had fun, I don't know how much fun grandma and grandpa had (haha) but we were glad they came. We even had a little picnic! I bought some school clothes for Steve since he really is going to school and I made him try them ALL on, but he said no pictures, sorry. I'm glad we went, thanks again Mom!

So this month Steve and I have been partying like it was our birthday-mostly because it was. We are both 23 now, which is fun. We are still getting used to it. We treated ourselves to a vacation earlier this month, we were invited to dinner with our families, and opened many fun cards and gifts. Thanks to all for our birthday wishes. July is our favorite month, so we are still going to party.

I don't know why she made this face! Haha!

Last week, Steve and I went to Hogle Zoo with some of our family. We had lots of fun, and we got to see the animals from Madagascar. Here's a few pictures.

Us enjoying the nice hot sun.
I made Jess and Kaylie stand in front of the elephants so I could take their picture. I convinced them I needed it because their birthday was the next day. So they let me.

I brought some pixie stix with us and when Jade ate her first one, she put so much of it in her mouth that it was too much for her and this is what her face looked like-puckered. Haha! After that they were her favorite and she kept asking for more "sticks".
After our zoo trip we headed up to Powerhouse to go camping with Steve's family. We had so much fun, we got to use our tent for the first time! Yay! And we got to try out our 4-wheeler on the trails. Steve looks like he's having fun, right? He really did...he told me so.

Leaf Art

I found this really cool website pressedleaf.com and I loved almost all of the leaf art on it! And we can't afford to decorate much so I decided I would make some myself. The difficult thing is that to make this it takes almost all year to gather the leaves! I have 3 maple leaves of different colors and still needed green, so my wonderful husband took me into the canyon yesterday-after stopping for a slurpie :) to gather some for my leaf press. It was a fun outside day, thanks Steve! This picture is actually from the website but it's what I'm trying to create. All four are hung in my kitchen, but my green leaf was looking faded so I got some bright spring ones. Hopefully soon mine will look as good as these. Check out his website, it's really cool!
