I Spy Dancers!!!

Last Friday we had a roommate date night and we were the Private Eyes. We all had dinner and went to the In statute Women's Association dance which had a spy theme.

I went with Ben and we all had a marvelous time at the dance and then we came back to our apartment and watched Don Knots and Tim Conway in The Private Eyes. It was seriously the greatest night ever!!

A Halloween Story

Once there was a girl who hadn't carved pumkins in like two years because she was off in a far off land being a hermit after 6:00 because Halloween was to dangerous for missionaries to be out. She had a desire to carve pumkins for it had deffinetly been a while so she carved out two!

She also had the desire to dress up as a bum for Halloween with these cool long johns...

But her toy soldier of a friend who was keeping all she owned in the world captive until she put more on.

So she scrounged up some overalls to wear over the awesome long johns so she could be seen with the soldier, Belle, and Rosie the Riveter. They had a marvelous time at a spontaneous Halloween party.

Cutest nieces and nephew ever!!

Stephanie shared some cute pictures of the kids and I love them so much I wanted to blog them.

Talmage just chilling in the stroler. Shuch a hansome boy!

PUmpkin Walk

In Logan they do a pumkin walk during the time before Halloween. So we went with our Family Home Evening Group. Here Natalie, Valene, Tambri and I waited about an hour to even get into where the pumpkins were. But it was worth it. While there we ran into....

R2D2, C3PO , and Yoda,

Sheep friend for Shawn The sheep,

a plethora of M&M's,

The Pioneers,

Even the Keebler factory workers

and we all agreed that Chocolate Theropy deffinetly works.

They even had facilities that we could use.

and a garden of vegtibles with the jolly green giant in case we got hungry.

Prince Phillip even came to wake me from my sleep.

Bob the builder could deffinetly fix it.

and Harry Potter came and performed a patronus to get rid of the scarry dementors from us.

Another thing that happened this August is that my cousin Erin got married to Jared. It was a wonderful day that started at 6:00 with rain clouds threatening to put a damper in the day and me getting up to go do the brides hair. The weather was questionable but when we walked out of the temple the sky was blue and there were no signs of rain. The day was wonderful and alot of fun. At the end of the night before Erin and Jared left they did the traditional boque toss. It was a contest between myself, Alisha, Allison, and I think one other girl. Well the boque went a flying behind Erin's sholder and all i had to do was raise my arms and I caught the boque.

For a few days I put it in water to enjoy after taking a picture of my self with them.

and then I hung them up side down to see how they would dry out.

This is now two months later and i think that hey have dried out pritty nicely.

So now i have them to enjoy as the weather gets colder and winter sets in. All in all I think that the white flower dried to be a little off white but it looks antique esh and I love it.

we will see if the "tradition" of who catches the flowers is the next one to get married.

Family Reunion

We had a family reunion this past July which was really fun. For the first three days I went hiking with my dad and Geoff and some cousins it was so much fun. During the first night i left my boots outside and a porcupine ate my shoes so they are totally destroyed. So I got some new ones for my birthday, which we celebrated on the trail. Here are some pictures from the trip! Here is one of the many Buffalo that we saw.
This Buffalo decided he was going to guide my parents down the road.

Oh and he also tried to ram into the side of their car. Thankfully my dad swerved to the side in time and avoid him.

My cousin Matt was having a hard time opeing his bear can. It took more then one to open it. My Dad and Geoff at our last camp site relaxing. Our Back packs hanging on the tree after we learned about porcupines liking for food.

This is the canyon that we hiked into. We just hiked up there and relaxed two days then we hiked out again. It was a hard canyon to hike up but we all made it in and out safely.These are the Grand Tetons where we hiked around.

Well I just got back from an amazing trip with my parents back to Puerto Rico. It was simply amazing and it was wonderful to show my parents where I seved my mission. It was kind of wierd going back. The wierd think is that the rental car we got was a Toyota Carolla so I felt like I was in a new mission car because that is what we drove. I acually had the thought more then once on the first day that I shouldn't be in the car but should be posaliting. Well here is a few pictures from the trip.
Here we are in the Yunque National Rain Forrest. It is the only one in the States. We hiked for forty minutes to get to this beautiful waterfall. It was hot and hummid. We did it on our first day and lets just say we were tired and ready to go to bed when we got to our hotel.

Here is a beautiful flower that we saw in Mayaguez at a place where they study veggitation near the university there.
Here my parents and I are at a waterfall in Adjuntas with Iris who was like my Puertaricanian mama. I surpirsed her at her house and she was so happy. We had fun with her.

This is an Iguana that we saw on the carribean beach.
