This year we had so much fun surrounding Halloween.  We got together with Jason’s family to do our annual pumpkin carving.  Checkout the results of our fun night.

We also had a friends party where we got together for a seriously “spooky” night.  We encourage everyone to dress up and we were so glad we did!  Our friends Tiff and Adam came as Mario and Luigi, KA came as her beautiful self, Jas and I were Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife Beth, and Candice and Mike came as a sad BUY fan and a Police officer.  Thanks for coming guys and dressing up!

We loved the Mario and Luigi costumes so much that we high-jacked the idea and wore the same costume to Jason’s work party!  I had forgotten how uncomfortable and complicated overalls are.  🙂

Happy Halloween!

Wrapping-up the summer is always a hard thing for us to do because it’s our FAVORITE time of year.  We love the hot weather, BBQ’s, fireworks, vacations, swimming, flip-flops, lawn chairs, and the list goes on and on!  Saying good-bye to summer means we have to do it with a bang!  Malcolm and Laura helped us do just that.

No summer is complete without floating down the Provo River, so that’s precisely what we did!  All I can say is we had an awesome time.  Tube Rental = $10, Floating the River Together = PRICELESS!

They’re making those life jackets look good!

All Set!

This picture was taken before we did the float; notice all the smiles?  The only difference that an after shot would have shown would be bigger smiles and darker tans!  Thanks guys for an awesome afternoon.  We love you!

…and of course in order to officially wrap up summer we had roast marshmallows over one last fire!

Malcolm, Laura, and McKay.

McKay had tons of fun.  He spent all night throwing as many rocks as he could into the fire.

Mal and Laura spent all night keeping him from falling in.  Good Times!   🙂

Word.

So Cute!

Our new favorite kind of marshmallows to roast are the toasted coconut kind.  YUM!

Next time you’re roasting marshmallows, you should try them.

Warning: They are WAY better then the plain ones!  Prepare yourself for massive consumption.

Hanging out and having fun!

Are you surprised?!

At the beginning of September Jason and I went on a road trip with our good friends Mike and Candice.  The reason for the road trip?  To see Collective Soul! Jason and Mike both love this band.  It was honestly a great reason to pack up the car and have an awesome weekend together as friends.

The concert was in Wendover, Nevada just minutes across the Utah boarder.  I personally have never been to Wendover, so I was a little skeptical, but I must admit by the end I had been pleasantly surprised.

We checked into our hotel late Friday night.  You would think since we were all sharing a room as friends that we would have stayed up all night talking and laughing.  Not a chance.  I’m pretty sure we were all in bed by mid-night.  Oh the obvious signs that we are getting old!

Since the concert wasn’t until Saturday night, we had all day Saturday to play; and that is exactly what we did!  We started the day off by going to the hotel buffet (bad idea, always is) then we headed to the pool to relax.  Spending time pool-side with the folks up in Wendover was interesting to say the least!  After swimming the boys decided that it was time to go to the driving range. In Wendover you can get away whatever what, going to the driving range in your swim suit and no shoes = no problem!  Gotta love it!

Ready, Aim…

FIRE!

Lets be honest, I was saying “FORE” a lot this day!   Hey, you’ve got to start somewhere!

When I wasn’t shouting” FORE” this is what I was doing.   Not surprising.  🙂

After our fun day of playing it was off to the concert.  The concert was at the PepperMill which was right across the street from our hotel.  We bought our tickets off KSL and they were AMAZING!  We were about 5 rows back and right in the middle.  The concert hall is small and intimate which made for a great night.  Thank-You to Mike and Candice for an awesome weekend!
