TriP wiTh tHe gUys

Saturday.... My husband and his friends decide to take a trip to Lehi to go to CaBeLa'S so my friend Jamie and I decided to tag along... BIG MISTAKE!!! It was my first trip there and its a pretty impressive store you could shop for hours, there is so much to see. And we were there... FOR HOURS... 3 1/2 hours. The guys were like kids in a candy store.

Jamie and I were bored out of our minds so we were finding things to pass the time... this is us hiding in an Ice FiShiNg tent taking a break from all thee excitement... and whats worse is I touched something there that caused me to have an allergic reaction... so i was SwOLLen and ichy from my elbow to my finger tips... hahaha it was awful.

I was hiding in the camo.... can you see me???


It was pretty awesome though looking at all the AnImaL displays they had set up... they looked so real. The fish tanks were probably my favorite part but i didnt get a picture. I HiGhLy recommend to all you girls.... let your husband go to Cabela's alone!! :)

HaPpy HaLLoWeEn

Halloween was so fun this year!!! The night started at my PaRenTs house... seeing my nephews all dressed up for TrIcK Or TrEaTinG is my favorite. My mom cooked taco soup ... which was AmaZinG and perfect cause it was freezing outside. I wore a Baseball player costume, Spencer was a storm trooper, Alex was a bat and Parker was a dinosaur :)

THE COSTUME PARTY

Then Brandon and I went to another CoStUme party. Brandon was supposed to be a surgeon, but he kinda looked more like a patient.. I loved it haha!! NeVeR a dull moment.. always making me laugh.



The party we went to was at our good friend Shaun's house. Halloween parties at his house are ALwaYs the best because he is so into it and must spend a fortune. All through the house there was props, body PaRts all over, things hanging from the ceiling, BoNeS all over the counters, things BaNgiNg on the roof of his house, and CrEePy pictures on the walls... He goes all out!!! Its like a haunted house.... Funniest place to spend Halloween ...


All my friends looked so cute!!!!
