Halloween

Here is Hayden as a mummy.

She is pretty scary. We hope she will stay warm enough.
It pays when your mom works at the hospital and can get ace wraps for free.

Trick or Treat!

Emmett

This is Emmett. He is a our new puppy. Jeremy has wanted a Boston Terrier his whole life and he was excited when he found out about one that he could through his sister in-law Jessica.
Jeremy brought him home Tuesday night. Hayden had know idea we were getting him and so she was totally surprised. She loves animals and has wanted a dog forever.

He is very funny and loves to run and pounce. He likes to bite sticks and loves to cuddle and bury himself in blankets.

We are all working on getting him house trained, so far he is doing pretty dang good.

PUMPKIN WALK

Last night for FHE, Hayden and I went to the annual pumpkin walk here in Logan. Different companies and families get to decorate a scene with pumpkins and other fall vegetables. The pumpkin walk is free and so last night it was very busy.

Here is a peacock made out of a squash.

Jack Skelington and the characters from "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

The scenes also have music that goes a long with their theme.

This is my favorite one. There is an older guy in Logan that rides his bike everywhere and is always honking his horn and waving to everyone. The words behind the pumpkin biker say,
" 1 backpack $16.00"
"1 helmet $29.99"
"1 bicycle $279.00"
"1 wave from Brent.....priceless"
This pictures isn't too good, but it is Batman, the Joker and Scareface.

This one was the cutest by far. It is Noah's Ark. If you look carefully you can see the elephants, skunks, penguins, pigs, bears and there were a lot of others that I couldn't fit in the picture. I want to make some of those elephant bums :-)

play/sand/belmont/brit's b-day

This last week and weekend was pretty eventful.

On Wednesday, Jeremy, Me and Hayden went with Ted to "Little Women" at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. My step-sister Jenn was Marmee ,the mother, in the play. Jenn was absolutley amazing, she should be on broadway. Great job Jenn!

Friday, Jeremy went to the sand dunes with his cousin Josh and camped out. He has only been once this summer and they figured it was going to be one of the last weekends of nice weather. They had a great time and even got sunburned.

This weekend Britany and Halli came in to visit during fall break. They were here for such a short time :-( Hayden and Halli always get a long so well.

Saturday we were able to go to Belmont and swim. My family used to own Belmont and now its is called CamperWorld Hot Springs Resort. So now we have an exclusive pass so we can swim and golf (since it is now a private place). The water is natural spring water and you can swim with your eyes open with no chlorine or sulfur smell. Hayden got to bring along her best friend Amelia. Britany and I got to practice are synchronized swimming moves. Mom and Ted watched.
Sunday I got to teach my first lesson in my new calling at church. I now teach Hayden's primary class. There are 11 kids there every week. Halli got to come too. It went so well and the kids were so good and smart. It is a relief from the Sunbeams. Hayden was actually excited when I told her I was going to be her teacher, and that made me feel good.

After church we went to mom's and had a dinner and celebrated Britany's 32nd birthday. Her Birthday isn't until Nov. 2 but this would be the only time we would be together. We had soup in a pumpkin and then had pumpkin shaped bread bowls and apple crisp. We played the Wii and played with funny baby Cache.

Poor Jeremy had to leave after dinner to go make his trip to Vernal for surgery on Monday. He got started up Sardine Canyon and realized he had my car keys in his pocket and I was still at my mom's. So he drove all the way back to Fielding (what a guy). So lucky for me, Jeremy ended up sleeping at home and left at 4 a.m. instead.

Hayden slept over at Nanna's with Britany and Halli. This morning Britany and Halli flew back to Kauai and the rest of us had to go to work and school. We will be happy to see them come back for Thanksgiving.

He's perfect

This post is a "thank you" to my wonderful husband. Many of you might not know Jeremy, or he might seem quiet and shy to you. Before I really knew Jeremy I thought he was completely different than he really is. I am going to brag about him for a minute.

Jeremy is the kindest most genuine person. He is so thoughtful and is always aware of my needs. He is loving and affectionate to me and is always showing and telling me how much he loves me. He always wants to spend time with just the two of us. I never have felt like something in his life is more important than our marriage.

I appreciate all he does for Hayden and me. I know its not easy to become a parent overnight, but he does a great job and I know how hard he tries with Hayden. He is always cleaning the house and doing the laundry. He will even take my car and totally wash and clean it out while I am asleep. He leaves me love notes almost everyday that I find in very clever places. He tries to make things easy for me and wants me to relax whenever I can. Jeremy makes being married a joy, I never knew it could be so great, it really gets better everyday.

He brought me these beautiful roses this week, for no reason at all, I don't even think I deserved them.
