Blogging without a camera is tough work. I'd actually have to write something, thus I don't do it.
Lets start way back when....October-ish
The first real event that happened in October was Ryan was asked to break a Social-Norm for one of his psych classes. He chose to do an extreme. Him and a mission companion David Beaty dressed up as Darth Maul (Ryan) and Han Solo (David). They then proceeded to have an epic battle around campus. Stopping only for the National Anthem that is played across campus. It was epic. Marie came and watched and Ryan had a couple young fans ask to get a picture with him. Who knew homework could be so fun?
For Halloween the third grade teachers at Bennion Elementary all decided to dress up as Angry Birds. It was so much fun! I wish we had a picture of all of us together. I was the King Pig, Sarah, the Yellow Bird, and Brooke, the Red Bird. I made my own costume and was very proud of my work. All the kids at school loved it!
Ryan and I carved our first pumpkin EVER! I was highly impressed with Ryan's carving skills. (even if most of the credit goes to Cutco)
Here is our pumpkin. I love his toothy grin! He looks scary enough but not too scary. I love Halloween!
Ryan took a few tests. He is still in school (for only the next 7 years). I found an Iphone App that lets me check in on my dear husband at the BYU Testing Center. Since I can't leave him cute notes and treats at the bottom of the exit stairs I elected to stalk him via technology.
We are now in the month of November!
My Dad recently bought a condo down in Beaver, next to a wonderful ski resort. Ryan, Dad and I drove down last weekend to move some furniture and get it settled a bit more before Thanksgiving. On the road trip I saw this lovely Penguin hat....who could refuse a picture of a Penguin hat?
Here we are in the lovely condo bathroom, getting ready for bed. Please comment on my wonderful usage of my wedding onesie! It kept me warm all night, BEST IDEA EVER!!!!!!!!
A couple years ago my wonderful Cousin Kela sent me some HolidaySpecs in the mail. These have become my favorite holiday accessory. I couldn't wait any longer. I pulled them out and we cruised down the road, listening to Christmas Music and counting all the "Santa's" we could see. *Disclaimer don't wear the HolidaySpecs while driving the actual car*
I made a table skirt and bucket seats for my guided reading table at school. Now these both several ulterior motives besides just fancing up my work space. They also hide all my clutter and store all my junk. Cute and functional!!!
I also have tried my hand at scrapbooking. I feel a bit silly about this one. My Mom never scrapbooked although she loved pictures. She'd just stick them in binders to look at. She always said that she never had the talent or the time for fancy scrapbook pages. The Woodbury women are huge, I mean HUGE scrapbookers. They both have their own space in their houses designated to scrapbooks. I tried scrapbooking to fit in with them but now I'm finding I am spending as much time and money as they are and I am truly enjoying it. I never thought I'd be a scrapbooker but look at me now!
This last picture is of me in authentic Indian Garb. I wish I could write about how I got a free trip to India to see all the sights and enjoy the culture but that would be a lie. My father-in-law went to India on business and was kind enough to bring me back a beautiful doll and some other fun souvenirs. We are so glad he got to go on such a wonderfully crazy business trip and are glad he is home safe with us.
For Thanksgiving Jill, Craig and their girls along with Dad, Marie and us are headed down to the condo for dinner and sledding. I am planning on cooking the majority of the meal....wish me luck! I'll report on the ordeal soon.
