and the Holidays begin!

Bry and I had a little girls trip to Utah. It was so fun. I missed my boys, but I know the boys were in good hands with their Daddy :) i stayed with my friend Carli, and our daughters Kelly and BryLee are around the same age, so they got to play alot! It was fun seeing old good friends. Its crazy how I can go 5 yrs with out seeing them and it still seems like we never spent a day apart! The weather there was beautiful too. BryLee was in heaven being able to run outside all day and play. a huge thanks to carli for letting me crash her pad :)

my old house, i had to drive by it. so many good memories!!

my besties and I. carli, me, crystal, josh

While we were gone in Utah nate took the boys on a bike ride, since the weather is so nice now! forgot to mention it snowed in utah 2 days after i left... im not so happy about that!!! i missed it :(

nash picking a winner, and mase man :)


We had our first Halloween celebration tonight. We had our ctr 4 class over for a costume party. It was a lot of fun! a little crazy..but fun! They bounced in our bounce house, bobbed for apples, ate pizza, colored, watched Princess and the Frog, and got cupcakes! I hope they had a good time. I know us teachers did! Thanks to Natalie (the other ctr 4 class teacher), it was her idea.

SUNS GAME! i was at the dentist getting my oh so fun dry sockets taken care of... and the dentist mentioned to his assistant that he ad 2 5th row tickets he was trying to get rid of...so of course, with zero hesitation, i chimed in... HOW MUCH? and i'll take them! So nate and I got to go to the opening game of the season, against the Lakers, and sat 5 row! talk about awesome. Would have been even more awesome had they won :/ Oh well, the suns still have a place in my heart...even if they blow every game after half time ;)

for halloween this year we went trick or treating on saturday night at my Bro In Law Scotts parents neighborhood. They have a hotdog and chili cookout out and then we just walk around the hood. Its always a fun time!! Then on Sunday we had my family over for dinner and then we all passed out candy.. with Tylers failed attemps of scaring people... he is just too nice and not enough scary! sorry Ty. We also celebrated Bellas 9th birthday with a yummy hocolate cake made my Jaime (the best baker of all time). It was such a fun Halloween! Im sure next year will be even funner with Mase old enough to trick or treat :)
