We had a fabulous Halloween! Friday night we went to Megan and Ladd's Halloween party! We were the 'Cabana' family. Tyler is a flamingo if you can't tell...it was awesome! Halloween night Tyler was spider man, and I was somewhat of a lame superman! We also attended the FINAL 'Brock Family Garage Halloween Party'! seriously- how funny is that? Melissa as 'juno' Cheryl and Kyle as something from 'Lost'.... the best picture we could get from Blake and Lucy...

Tomorrow is the big day! Do I have a costume yet? No. Am i worried? Yes. As to some other BIG news- my parents sold their house! Ah! (They have a lot in west kaysville, but until the house is built are renting down in those colorful farmington town homes- they have to be out December 1st.. it's kinda sad, yet exciting!) But along with this transition, they have a storage unit, and apparently that is where all the dress ups are! dang. that has been my costume headquarters for the past 5 years. or more. any ideas are welcome! Here is a peek a Lucy's costume..... She is a 'Cabana' Girl and won 3rd place at our ward party this week! So did my 'corn cake'. It's really supposed to be cornbread, but all it is is a cornbread mix mixed with a yellow cake mix. So really it's cake. Maybe thats why everyone liked it so much? Go figure. Life has been just fabulous lately! Tyler is busy busy with school. He is really wanting to get his MBA at one of the top ten school...

Hello hello! Last night the girls (and my dad...) saw Thriller! I haven't seen it for YEARS. I have been wanting to go for a while now, and wasn't let down... anything with dance is usually SO entertaining for me. LOVED it. The girls with a dancer.... Can-Can and I My dorky parents and Cheryl.... And in case you forgot... How cute is Lucy? I love her!

We enjoyed the fabulous weather up in Kaysville this weekend! It is always nice to spend time with both of our families (if you didn't know they live literally like 2 blocks from each other...) and I also got to go to dinner with my cute friend Megan , and me and Ty hung out with our good friends Porter and Erika . We did a whole lot of nothing all weekend and it was great. We did make it to the temple Saturday afternoon! Other than the lady 'sniffling' next to me throughout the whole session... haha.... it was great. I know some of you have probably heard me say this, but I would love to spend the night in the temple someday. I think it would be the best nights sleep ever!! What do you think? We are in need of cheap dates/activities. With Ty only working part time now and going to school full time.... and if you can even count my job a job... well... we're currently poor. But who isn't right? Anyway- Ideas for cheap dates? Friday, My mom, Candace and her friend Car...

Yes, I know. the weekend is not yet over- but for some reason i have been on a blogging kick lately, and whatever, I'm just taking advantage of it so I will have some memories of my cute Lucy when she was little. Today we went over to Cheryl's Kyle's apartment to meet their cats. Lucy LOVES animals! This is 'Filbert'. He was terrified of Lucy after she grabbed him by the fur and tried to eat him. And this is Ziggy. She also wasn't too fond of Lucy, but just wanted her sparkly toy. She also played with her friend Sunshine this morning! We babysat her for like an hour or so. They are in our ward. They were so funny together. Lucy also got to play with her daddy. She LOVES him. and... last night we went to a thing at the institute. We had a speaker, dinner, and carving pumpkins. I really would go again, but i think we got the guilt trip of the century for not signing up for a class... Ooops. I know this is bad, but Tyler just does not have time for another class, a...

thank you neagle for my tie-dye onesie. I love it. Love, Lucy. So my Lucy is just darling. Last night my girls had a football game in Lehi... yes. Lehi High. How awful is that? Let alone- their dance team is called the 'Pionettes'- and I thought being a dart was a bad mascot? Anyway. Tyler had school, Cheryl had Parent Teacher conferences so I had to bring Lucy with me- (sidenote: they just changed the rules that now a coach cannot take their kids on the district buses, so the school officer also had to ride the bus with my cheerleaders.) So i meet the girls at the school, get them on the bus, follow them to Lehi, and then tyler calls me as im getting off the exit for lehi that he is now done with his test and can have lucy, too bad he drives an 88' honda accord that doesn't really work i the car... so i get there, wake Lucy up to put her in the stroller, and it's FREEZING. ah, so I walk over to the visitors side and decide its too cold for Lucy, so I then drive her...

We just got back yesterday from a quick little trip down to St. George! My Dad was running the marathon for his 14th time! Unfortunately, I left my camera in the car when we went to the finish line to watch, but he did awesome! He ran a 2:58! It was so fun to be there at the finish line cheering on all those people who just ran their life away! I think someday I will run a marathon... I don't know when... but someday. It just has such a sense of accomplishment to it. I know it's crazy, but I want to say I did it! Our parents were nice enough to let us drive down with them, and we stayed at my grandpa's house down there. We just ate at the traditional 'China Palace' Friday night, and Saturday watched the race, grabbed some breakfast, me and Tyler took Lucy swimming, watched conference, and then My mom, Lucy, and I shopped while the men went to priesthood! We then ate at Outback and drove home Sunday morning. I seriously took 3 pictures while we were down there. Thes...

I forgot... Our cute friend, Lucy's 'godfather' Nate Neagle sent Lucy these in the mail the other day from Alaska! She now has her very own carhartts! This Saturday Tyler's Grandma LaRae got married to cute Ed! We are so happy for them! We enjoyed a cute and quick ceremony at the church, and then some cake at the old folks home! Nothing better than a good wedding on a saturday afternoon! =) Ok so this is the best picture we got of Blake and Lucy together....haha. Aunt Jessi! Life is good! Lucy says , "mamamamama...." all the time! It's so cute. I think Tyler is a little sad that she doesn't say, "daddadada" as much though. She is so loud and animated all the time! I think I am officially done nursing as of this week. I was nursing her in the morning and at night, but Im afraid I have nothing left! =) The freedom of the bottle is great, I can now leave her whenever I want! The Relief Society broadcast was great! I just love President Eyring. I...

I always have a pink cake with white frosting. It's the best!! So much has been going on lately! Life is good, grand, and wonderful though! I'll be really honest I hate sappy blog posts. BUT. I had kind of a rough week for some reason last week, and I think I forget how much the little things make the biggest difference on your attitude and such. I won't go into it that much. But I am truly happy. I have the greatest family in the whole world. and that makes all the difference! I also turned 21 on monday! Yay! I am finally 'legit'. All I need now is a ride on the Wendover party bus and I'm set! I got to go shopping. I feel completely satisfied! I didn't go shopping at all last fall or winter because of my 'prego-ness', so was feeling completely out of date. I now own a pair of skinny jeans so I feel like im back in style. Haha. Jk. Also. 3 of my 'girls' now have the swine flu! Can you even believe it? Thank goodness I hadn't taken Lucy w...

We had an awesome time at Bear Lake this past week! I did the reservations this year, and  apparently  I rented us 'The House'. We stay at Sweetwater, or Ideal Beach and there is only one house on the whole property, the rest are condos. So we had room for 20 people, so my mom called and invited Coleen and her 3 kids up. Cheryl couldn't come because she started teaching 2nd grade last week! Other than that our whole family was there! We had a great time doing nothing... staying up late...eating junk food....sitting on the beach....etc... Im so sad summer is almost over! School is starting... the only good thing is it's almost my BIRTHDAY! yay. Enjoy the cute pics!
