Happy Halloween!!

Halloween was full of fun adventures this year! We went over to the Iverson's and had a yummy gruesome halloween dinner. A tradition started by my mom. For dinner we had: Worms with Bloody Eyeballs, Witch Fingers, and Monster Booger Eyeball Salad. Yummy Yum!!

After dinner we all carved pumpkins!! BJ wasn't so sure about pulling out the pumpkin guts...until his Dad told him "son, how are you going to gut a deer? Come on... get in there!" Then it was a whole new ball game!

carving pumpkins

don't worry...I'll get it all!!

nICH carving very meticulously

my pumpkin is a little devil!

nICH pumpkin turned out cool!

I dressed up for work...I think I might have scared a couple of patients!! I hope they don't have nightmares of a scary witch forever!

My co-workers dress up too...Kris Ann was Captain Hook and Katie was an ompa lumpa!!

Max and Tate come to visit...I thought Tate might be scared...but he justed laughed at me!

Later that night I called nICH on the way home from work and he answered whispering "shhh you are going to give me away...I'm hiding from the trick or treaters!" Silly nut nICH!! So when I got home we got out the candy bowl and started answering the door...about 30 min later we were out of candy!
Then the boys came by...we gave them the awesome boxes nICH's mom put together and then all the boys played the playstation.
Hope you all had a safe and Happy Halloween!!

So here are a few pictures of our house. There have been some changes since we have taken these pictures, but you get the idea.

lOREN & cATHY visit to UTAH!!

Cathy and Loren came to visit a couple of weeks ago! It was so much fun to have them here, we miss them tons! So since there really isn't much to do around town...(we really moved to the sticks!!) Cathy and Loren wokred so hard on little projects on our house! They did so much work, I can never Thank them enough. It was so good to have them here and we can't wait to see them again soon.

The first night they were here we went to eat at YUMMY Carabas! Lo-Lo couldn't finish, which is amazing because he never leaves food on his plate!! Way to go PaPa Lo-Lo!

Finding the perfect light bulb at Home Depot!

nICH and I sat in this tent (Ice Fishing shelter to be exact) at Cabela's. It was fun watching peoples faces when they realized there were two people sitting inside the tent!!

Before heading to the airport we walked through Temple Square, it was a perfect day. It was raining a little before we got there, but as soon as we pulled up to the Conference Center the rain stopped long enough for us to walk around! It was PERFECT! We toured the gardens on the top of the Conference Center, then walked thourgh Temple Square.

They played hard and had a fun time...most the time!
