Our "Perfect" Pumpkin

Last night Drew's class meeting got cancelled so we decided to carve a pumpkin. But we had to get one first. With only two days before Halloween we didn't have much of a selection to choose from. We went to Wal-mart, K-mart, and Kroger and they were completely out. Then we remembered the fire station had some for sale. Yes, it was the fire station right by our house after we had drove all over town. In the end we found our "perfect" pumpkin. This was Drew's first pumpkin he had ever carved. I took out all the pumkin guts while he carved the pumpkin. I think we did pretty good. Take a look for yourself.

Baby Ellie!

Last weekend I finally got to see Wes and Tracy's new baby, Ellie. I went up with my parents, but Drew was not able to go because he had a lot of studying to do. We only stayed one night, but I was able to spend lots of time with my two adorable nieces. Carlie is almost two and baby Ellie is 3 weeks now. She is so precious. She looks just like Carlie when she was a baby. Here are a few pictures.

Beautiful baby!

Spot and Baloo

I thought I would post a few picture of the cats. Here are some funny ones.

One day I came into the kitchen and found Spot sitting behind the toaster oven. She is funny.

Baloo and Drew sleeping peacefully. Baloo has his paw on Drew's head. How sweet!

Super Saturday

Last Saturday we had "Super Saturday" at church. It is basically a craft/project day for all the woman. It was a lot of fun just hanging out and working on things together. Here is a picture of a few of the things I made. I can't show everything because some are Christmas gifts! But here is two things. Aren't they so neat?? It was super easy so I can't take all the credit. A lot of prep work was done a head of time by some of the other sisters. I wish I could make some more things like this.

Birthday Party!

A couple weeks ago Cindy threw a birthday party for Drew and I. It was super sweet of her. We have such good friends. It was mostly family and a few friends. We had a great time. Here are a few pictures.

No Time

I really do  have a lot of  things to blog about.  It is just we have been really busy these past few weeks.  Also our computer has been doing weird things too.  I am afraid it is going to crash any day now. And truthfully I just haven't had a lot of time to post any how.  That is the only bad thing about having our anniversary and birthdays so close.  September and October are crazy months.  Speaking of birthdays,  Drew's was yesterday.  He is officially 24!!!  Happy Birthday, Babe!!!  We have been celebrating all week.  It has been fun.  I will have more updates as soon as I can load up some pictures.  

Which Princess am I?

You Are Cinderella!


Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

The Best 3 Years!

Happy Anniversary to us! I have the best husband ever! I love you baby!

Homemade Biscuits

Last night I and the rest of the Relief Society Presidency got together to watch Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf talk from the General Relief Society conference. His talk was wonderful. He talked about ways to find happiness and joy through being creative and having compassion. And as woman we sometimes let fear of failure stop us from doing things. That is so me. It was a very inspiring talk. So this morning we got to sleep in because it is conference weekend and we can watch it on the internet. I love conference especially when you can watch it in your pj's. Anyways I felt like making something. I guess I was still feeling inspired from the talk. I looked up recipes online for biscuits and pancakes. And discovered I actually had all the ingredients for biscuits except baking powder. I gave Drew's parents a call and they had baking powder on hand. Score! So I whipped everything together and created biscuits. I made homemade biscuits!!! This is like huge for me. I am not much of a cook. Here is a picture of my beautiful biscuits. They are not really thick, but they were super good. So yea for me!

Another Baby Shower

Thursday night my friends and I threw a baby shower for our good friend, Megan. The shower was hit. Everyone had a blast playing the baby/balloon game. I wish I had some pictures of that. It was hilarious. Thanks for the idea, Jenn. It seems like all of my friends and some of my family are pregnant right now. There will be more shower to come in the next few months I am sure.

Sorry Megan, I just had to put this picture up. You look so cute!
