It has been a busy month. Lots of fun and lots of drama. Mostly fun except for stolen pumpkins and overflowing sinks.

Ryan and I took a whole week off from work earlier in the month. That was super relaxing.
During that week off, we saw MOZ with Rose and Bob at the Thanksgiving Point "barn". We also got to see Alanja and Jimmy at that show. Moz sang lots of old songs...even Smith's songs...here is the setlist :

Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before / Tomorrow / Sister, I'm A Poet / London / The Loop / Jack The Ripper / Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself? / Stretch Out And Wait / I Like You / The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores / All You Need Is Me / Billy Budd / Death Of A Disco Dancer / Let Me Kiss You / I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris / One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell / Shoplifters Of The World Unite / You Have Killed Me / Dear God, Please Help Me / How Soon Is Now? // First Of The Gang To Die

We finally got to go out to dinner with Chan and Stacy...we went to Epic. The food was really good. I miss hanging out with the Lowe's. I finished another pair of baby shoes...and sold them to my first customer. Thanks Fred...
Last Saturday, Heather and Swiss Chris had their Halloween Party. That was crazy fun. Every room in that house was decorated with beautiful Halloween Decor. They even cleared out their garage and made it a dance club. I dressed up as Red Riding Hood and Ryan as the big bad Wolf.Denise and her friends came too. Denise is the blue Skittles. Bartley came as "Slutty" Red Riding hood. Here we are giving each other a stare down...step off miss thing...Matt and Roddy came dressed as sexy Dallas cowboys cheerleaders.
I always have to take a pic of me with Roddy...
Here is Ryan and the cheerleaders...Can you say Hot?
Anna Marie drove up from Provo for the party...she was a kitty.
Jennifer also came to Heather's party...her costume was beautiful. She was a Bollywood Princess...she likes to call it "a woman from India".
The hostess of the party was mother earth and she looked great. Here she is greeting Annie who was Marie Antoinette...

We did get a video clip of Matt leading everyone on the Dancing Queen routine...What a super fun party. Thanks to Heather and Chris for throwing one of the best Halloween parties ever.

On Monday the 29th...my big sister turned 51 !!! I love you Gioconda! Ryan , my mom and I took her to dinner and Ryan made her these cute little pumpkin pies for her birthday.On Tuesday the 30th...I stayed home from work to clean around the house and get some errands done. Between 10 am and noon...some one or some people came to my front porch and stole my uncarved pumpkins. I was so mad about this. This was my first year buying white pumpkins too! I am still mad about this just thinking about it.

On Halloween, Ryan had class until 9pm which left me to give out candy to the kids without my husband. It was fun...I got my mom to come over and help...I dressed up again as red and dressed up my kids.Dolly was a Sweet Angel Girl...she is so precious and so good at letting me take pictures of her...Here is buddy as a lizard or dragon...not sure which one it is...but he looks adorable in it...I made a collar for Penny since I doubt she would be good about a real costume....Penny is so big now...Matt and Roddy's kitty Toonces is very good at letting them dress him up....Toonces as a bumble bee...buzzzzz....One bad thing about Halloween night is that our kitchen sink overflowed because I clogged it with pumpkin seeds. Ryan came home from school that night to a mess. He was a trooper about it and the sink is almost back to normal. Ryan is my hero..and a great plumber.
