Guess who turned 30?

Happy Birthday, Jason!!

Alas, Jason is now in his 30's, but that's ok because the 30's are the new 20's, right? Well, that's what I keep telling myself! For the big day I surprised him with a sleepover in Park City. Thanks to grammy, we were able to sneak away for the night. And, a birthday just wouldn't be the same without the new Halo ODST...finally!

Here's to your first year in your 30's. We hope to make it even better than your 20's. Love you!

My Midnight Madness



Doing something crazy when I'm 8 months pregnant has officially become a tradition. When I was 8 months pregnant with Chloe I went to the Journey/Def Leopard concert (no wonder she likes to head bang!). Then, on November 20th at 12:09 a.m. I saw the next movie in the Twilight Saga, "New Moon." Since I'm usually out like a light by 11:00 p.m. at the latest every night this was crazy for me, but we did it. My sister and I met up about 9:00 and decided to drive by the movie theater just to see what was going on. Of course there was a long line of blanket-wrapped mummies waiting to go in, but we weren't up for that so we killed some time by getting some candy and checking out the deals at Target. We were ok with sitting in the front row so we didn't get in line until the last half hour or so. The front row was right there waiting for us when we got into the theater. We knew it would be bad, but it was even worse than I was thinking. Luckily, the annoying megaphone manager came up to all of us in the front row and said he could get us better seats in a different theater. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that they were showing the movie on all the screens at midnight. So there we were, only waited in line for about an half an hour sitting next to the people who had been waiting all day. The moral of the story is DON'T STAND IN LONG LINES!! Thanks to my Milk Duds and Skittles I stayed awake through the whole movie. I don't like critique movies, so the only thing I have to say is go Team Jacob!!

Trick or Treat!

I'm beginning to think Halloween is the best holiday ever. What other time of the year do you get to dress up as a fairy princess, run around the neighborhood with your friends and stock up on candy? Chloe's costume was inspired by a tutu from Aunt Tiffy. Then we collected pieces along the way. The top was a garage sale find for 50 cents. Score!! So, off went bat boy and fairy to storm the neighborhood. Things were going great until we stopped at our house (the second house we went to) to find the scary scarecrow monster, aka Jason, passing out candy. That was enough to put Trayce on the edge, but then we went down a couple more houses where a 9 foot skeleton in the dark put Trayce over the edge and Chloe into my arms. The rest of the night the kids were freaked out by anything out of the ordinary, but they somehow conquered their fears and made it to the candy!








Pre-trick-or-treating sucker. Must have been blue raspberry...YUM!

Whenever I ask Chloe where her happy face is I get this look!
