Thanksgiving 2010

I'm so behind on the blogging world, I really should be better, maybe that will be a New Years Resolution. :) For Thanksgiving this year we went down to Southern California to be with Scotty's family. We spent our day on Thanksgiving at Disneyland! It was not our typical Thanksgiving but we had so much fun! It was so great to see lots of family and take a needed break from our everyday lives. We both have so much to be thankful for...

More fall festivities...

We have had a lot of fun the last couple of weeks. Last weekend Scott's parents and my family came into town. We were able to go up to Salt Lake on Friday night and spend time with Scotty's family. My family got into town late Friday night and on Saturday we all went to the BYU game...it was pouring rain on our way there but thankfully it stopped at the beginning of the game and didn't start up again till afterwards!

At the BYU game...

Our friends Allison and Sammy came to say hi at halftime

 My family...

 Braden w/ Grandpa

 The girls...

 We stayed busy all day on Saturday. After the game my parents treated us to Brick Oven which is always a very appreciated tradition! Then we went to Hobby Lobby (which just opened in Orem and I am thrilled about!), carved pumpkins, baked pumpkin seeds and apple dumplings, and watched How to Train Your Dragon. We stayed very busy and had a great weekend where we didn't even think about homework till Sunday afternoon when everyone left! It was great!

 Yesterday we went to a GREAT halloween party put on by our friends Sammy and Allison...let me tell you, they know how to throw a party. Whether it's a General Conference brunch or Halloween party they make sure you are fed to the brim and have a great time! We had a BLAST last night, it was so fun to be with friends, whether it was with the inappropriate gestures or commentary during our games, watching Dillon who was "concussed", heated battle b/w husbands and wives, or just catching up with great friends we loved every minute of it! Thanks Sam and Allison for having us!

Dressing up for Halloween kinda stresses me out but we were able to pull something off...

Scotty aka Brian Wilson

 Whit- just a tiger

 FEAR THE BEARD!

At the party we had delicious chili w/ bread bowls and made caramel apples. These were legit carmel apples, tasted exactly like Rocky Mountain's...

 And apparently Scotty has this hidden talent of making carmel apples...

 With the girls...

 And can't forget about Tinkerbell...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

i LOVE fall

Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year!

I feel like I make this same post/statement every year, but I seriously can't get enough of this season!

One of the many reasons is how BEAUTIFUL Provo gets...

See what I mean?...We took a nice, little walk up the Canyon today to enjoy it.

Our weekdays get so busy and go sooo fast, so we have to utilize our weekends for some fun, so far we have had a great fall.

We've been able to see some family...

Had some fun date nights such as...

-Going out to dinner with friends

-Game nights with our fellow gamers Sammy and Al Pal

-Football games (our Cougars are so sad this year :( )

-Trip to Park City Outlets

-Trip to Temple Square

-etc...here are a couple random pics...

Ok, I have to admit one of my very favorite things of fall is the smells. There is nothing better than a good spicey smell in combination with the crisp fall air. I'm kind of a candle snob and from trial and error, I think I found my favorie candle for this season...Salt City Pumpkin Spice...

We still have a few things on our fall bucket list, so stay tuned...

...

This is how I feel after this week...

Thank goodness it's the weekend so I can spend some time with my cute husband and SLEEP!

Happy Friday!

We couldn't be happier,

Here's to another year of marital bliss!

Love You Scotty!

The Ranch

Right before we left California we went out to the Ranch for a family reunion. All of Scott's brothers and their families were able to come so we had a lot of fun. We went out to the lake everyday, played a bunch of games, shot some guns, and just relaxed. It was a great weekend! Here are some pics of the fun we had...

Half-Way Mark!!

Greetings from Ghana, Africa!

Yesterday was Elder Tracy's year mark! I am so excited that he is halfway done! We have all really missed him but have loved having a missionary out from our family. He is doing so great in Africa, he loves his mission and all the people there. He is such a great example to me and I can't wait to hear about the many more adventures, miracles, and conversion stories in the next year!

A-Rod hits 600 homeruns!!!
