It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it

You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes

You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller nightAnd no one's gonna save you from the beast about strikeYou know it's thriller, thriller nightYou're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

This scary Zombie dated my brother and her name is Karol! haha She is SO pretty when she's not trying to look scary:) She was so good at keeping a serious face! When I scare people I laugh so hard so I would not be a good Zombie. Karol you did so good!

Speaking of scaring people lol When Paul and Me first started dating he'd always hide places and scare me...He is pretty good at it. I'd always try to scary him but it didn't ever work and he'd always say you'll never be able to scary me! HAHAHA I've gotten SO good at scaring him and I run away laughing my head off... the look on his face makes me about pee my pants. The best so far was when my sister Mckel and her cute family was here visiting Paul was about to get off work the kids and mike were in bed alseep it was just Mckel and me up waiting for Paul to get home. All the lights were off just the tv was on so it was pretty dark.I heard the garage door go up and I told Mckel to go get in the pantry and when Paul walks in I'll ask him to get me some crackers...Paul comes in the door I ask him to get me some crackers... I'm just rambling to him about my day as he's opening the door to the pantry mckel puts her hand on his chest LOL He ran for the back door! We laughed for about an hour. Was he just going to leave me in the house with some scary person??? he was seriously headed for the door! LOL good times!

It's that time of year...

Its that time of year where I just want to turn on the fire place, make some yummy hot chocolate in the cocomotion machine...sweet wedding present thanks Tana:) Bake some yummy treats put on a Christmas movie and cuddle with my husband the whole day! Today when I woke up it looked cold outside. Paul and I got our warm clothes and went for a walk...BRRRR it was stinkin cold! My face was frozen when we got back! I have been anything but cold lately. I didn't think I could get cold being the oven that I am. I made Banana Bread for the first time well actually its cooking right now so we'll see if it turns out but when its cold I feel like cooking! If anyone has yummy goodie ideas....PLEASE share!

Oct. 16Th and 17Th the guys headed for the mountains for the deer hunt and us girls headed to Salt Lake to have our annual girls weekend! We did a lot of shopping, hanging out, laughing and eating! We stayed the night in Draper at Aunt Kristi's.

We went to Gardner's Village for witches night out...We didn't dress up but we did get glitter eyes. Kinda looked a little scary.
Madix and Jayen got spiders on their cheeks...

Cute Nephews I have!!!

Avia's eyes turned out cute...Me and my Mom's eyes look like they're bleeding. Not the look we were going for.

Our First Home

Our house is for sale as of last week. We've already had some people come look at it. Its not going to be easy to move out:(Are plan is to move in closer to the college.Here are a few pictures of our first home: These pictures are not very good I might take some more when the sun goes down.

I don't know why this one has spots?

There is also a guest room that I haven't done anything to and the babies room that I'm still working on...pictures to come when its finished:)

GO DIXIE REBELS!!!

...I know Its Dixie Red Storm now but I think Dixie Rebels sounds so much better!!! We had such a FUN Saturday. We left the house at 10 am and didn't get home til 1 am...WAY past my bed time! Paul played football with some friends for a couple hours Dani Mal and me were watching and I started to not feel so good and almost passed out I had to lay down on the cement ha kinda embarrassing(this happened at the beauty supply store last week and I had to lay on the floor again embarrassing!) Don't worry I started to feel better after we got some lunch!:)We then went to the Dixie Football Game. It was fun. Elder Jeffery R Hollands Wife and Corey Dillon(the famous football guy) were put into the Dixie Hall of Fame at half time. After the game Paul and I went and did some shopping, changed into our church clothes THEN we were able to go to the Dixie Alumni Dinner and listen to Elder Jeffery R Holland speak...He is a really awesome guy and really funny. So glad we were able to go! Thanks to Paul's friend Sam!(his dad was over it) After that we watched Taken with the gang at Mallory and Deans. Then for the worst part of the night...Paul locked the keys in our car at the college so with Logan and Dani's help we had to figure out how we were going to get in our house to get the spare key. Luckily we had a window open and was able to get in. Around 1 a.m. we FINALLY got home and straight to bed!:)

After Elder Jeffery R Holland spoke we left and as we were walking out Corey(the famous football guy) was sneaking out...Not so fast big guy! haha Paul Mike and Logan needed a picture with him. I'm guessing he's a pretty big deal.

I have THE WORST HEARTBURN RIGHT NOW!!!! I'm sorry Dad that I never felt bad for you all these years when you would have heartburn...I now know what it feels like to have heartburn and it hurts so bad!!! Bless your heart! I love you!

Love That Lasts

I'm not the best at reading books my mind wonders when I read but this book I've actually done really good at not letting my mind wonder. My Mom gave Paul and I this book a little while after we got married. We just opened it up and started reading it about a month ago. It really is a good book! I think everyone should read it:) I've even been high lighting some parts that I really like. Here are a few things I have high lighted so far...

--"The greatest gift you can give your children is parents who love each other."

--"If you do what you have always done, you'll get what you've always gotten."

--God put it all in perspective when He said "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife"(Genesis 2:24) I'm certain He was referring to both spouses. There is no question that He intended us to put each other first.

--Making your marriage your number one priority. It takes effort, but there is no other way if we are to succeed, and succeeding with my family is very important. Its what our life is really all about.

These are just a few things in this book so far that I really like.

I dare you all to go out and get this book!:)

6 months yesterday!

6 months! Where did September go? I'm not going to complain I'm very excited for January to get here. I'm glad its starting to cool down now that I'm getting big. St. George weather is amazing this time of the year! We had another Doctors appointment yesterday every things looking good. Our little guy is kicking much harder these days...I love it! I've started on his room! Finally:) Dani and Lori came over last week and we painted stripes on one wall in his room. It turned out SO SO cute! Thanks so much girls for helping me!!! My mom came down this weekend and we found really cute material for his bedding! I'm excited to see it put together! I couldn't get the whole wall but here is part of it.

Things I've noticed in the last month.

- When I bend over to pick things up I feel as if my head might pop off!
- The clothes options in my closet are getting real little
- I feel hungry all the time but really trying hard to control myself
- Sitting for long periods of time isn't comfortable
- Not getting a lot of sleep at night its hard to get comfortable
- Have to go in for the Glucose Test within the next couple weeks:(
- Getting harder to shave my legs!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This has nothing to do with being six months but I wanted give a little shout out to all the people that ran the St. George Marathon!!We knew a couple people that ran it this year. Paul and I went down to watch them finish lots of tears, blood and passing out. That would be so hard! What an awesome accomplishment for the people that do it!! It made me tired just watching people finish. Paul says Mckel and him are doing it next year...I'll be on the side cheering you on!!!:)
