Halloween (Past and Present!)

Halloween sure is a fun time of the year! It is especially fun for Miss Maren because every year she gets to have a fun halloween/birthday party.

This years party did not let us down!

Birthday girl and Mr. Oreo face.

(Don't mind their mom wrapped up in toilet paper, she was getting cold and that was all she could find to keep warm . . . .

or we were playing a minute to win it game!)

Hatee taking her her turn at spinning (Note for next year . . play all spinning games before eating large amounts of food)

Who knew toilet paper was so much fun to play with?!

It kept the kids entertained for a good 15 minutes!

Hatee shaking her booty!

Oreo contest . . .

Task: Oreo starts on forehead and needs to end up in your mouth

(using NO hands!)

I did not do well at that game. Jeremy did great!

Warren Jeffs and his lovely wives

Jeremy was a chilean miner and I was a paper doll

(can you tell we didn't have much time or a lot of creativity this year!)

And now for Halloweens past . . . .

Halloween 2008

(skipped 2009 cause I already blogged about it last year!)

I was a nerd and the girls were from High School Musical

A couple days after Maren's party that year we all packed up and headed to Disneyland for a fun filled family vacation!

Disneyland was decorated so cute and we had a GREAT time!

Cousins! (Aren't they cute?!)

Halloween 2007

(Ward par-tay up the canyon in a big lodge)

Katie and I were flappers, Hannah was a gypsy and

Chris was a rocker (I think!)

Yeah for Halloween it is such a fun holiday!

Flash Back Friday - Fall Fun

Yep, you read it right . . flash back Friday has returned. I was looking through some old pictures and just had to post them!

First lets start in 2007. That August I moved from my lovely comfortable Logan down to SLC to start a new adventure. Luckily Katie was willing to be my roommate again. I moved down to SLC with no job (well I did have a part time job with a rec center) and we had just barely found the house we were going to move in a week or two before I moved down! Seriously . . . what was I thinking?!

Our cute house

After a few weeks of being there we decided to have a house warming party with our other neighbors. Lots of fun people came and we had a good time!

(Awe cute . . . the beginning of Katie and Chris's love!)

Shanell came down to visit one weekend and Chris was able to hook us up with some sweet free rides on the coaster and the alpine slide.

Getting ready to go down the slide!

(This picture is for you Katie!)

Katie, Chris and I went up to Snowbird to enjoy Oktoberfest. We had a great time and drank a lot of beer (not).

Around that same time I met this cute boy. Jeremy moved down to SLC to start school at the U and lived in Brett and Wendy's basement apartment (his sister and brother in law). Their house was in the same ward boundaries as my new house.

Luckily that first Sunday we sat next to each other in Sunday School and shared a hymn book! (Thank you Singles Ward!)

Fall 2008

I sure like the Fall!
