November...

Well, I haven't really taken many pictures this month, and I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week! Time flies! It has been great month full of fun and business! The first weekend of the month I went with Shanna and Shelly to "Time out for Women" put on by Deseret Book. It was an awesome weekend full of friends and spiritually motivating experiences. I had never attended anything like it before, and it was fun. We really liked Hillary Weeks performances. I got her new Christmas CD to enjoy. The next weekend I had to take a 2 hour test (again-against my will) to prove that I am "highly qualified". It is to put my Administration Certificate on my Teaching license. So I will find out in a few weeks if I passed or not. I took the test last year, but there was no cut off score. I didn't really study when I took it last time and I was 10 points below the cut off (620) and I got a 610-- so I had to pay $130 dollars to take it again and I hopefully passed this time (I did study). But after the test was over I got to spend the rest of that Saturday at my Sister Alisha's awesome digital scrapbooking class. I am learning more about photoshop! I just need to play with it more often! I'm so excited for the upcoming holidays! I have been working on a few Christmas Projects and I love it! I haven't done big projects for a couple years! I even busted out some homemade cards the other day! If anyone is interested in homemade christmas cards or other cards let me know!

Halloween Treats

When we were in California, my sis Julie, had a fun magazine that had recipes in it! There were these cute mummy cupcakes that I wanted to try for a dinner night we had with our friends. It wasn't quite working out, so I made spider webs instead! :) Then when I was up north with my friends we made halloween homemade oreos! Yummy!

Family Vacation

Our family takes an annual family vacation to Cali every October with our cousins and other family friends! I haven't been able to go with them the past 4 years because of work and school, so this year I decided to take a few days off work and go relax and play with the fam on the beach. We usually stay in Del Mar, but this year our family stayed in Oceanside with Andee and Steve. One of the days I went and played with our friends in Del Mar. We played Flag football, frisbee, swam in the ocean and dug a huge hole! I love fun days at the beach! And I for sure got more sun than I thought I would :)

Josh, Korby, & Parker- digging the huge hole!

And I loved playing with Rush & Peach & Baby E on the beach!

My family is the best! :)

Marathon Weekend...
