** a day without laughter, is a day wasted **

Me: c'mon, please go pop popcorn
Handsome: but... But... Ugh!
Me: PLEeeeeeSE
Handsome: But.. I just don't know how to burn it like you do!

:) He thinks he's funny!
... I guess I do too!

I love this time of year, it means lots of family time! We are lucky to have our families so close to us!

Last night we planned a family event, including dinner- pumpkin carving- and the Syracuse pumpkin walk! Brielle and Matt came down so we decided to make a day of it!

Dad went and got pumpkins, and then the creativity started flowing! The weather was just great so we gutted and carved outside until dinner! Mom made a masterful potato bar- perfect fall dinner! :)
After dinner we all bundled up for the pumpkin walk! Matt drives a bus for all the college kids coming back and forth from rexburg to SLC, this happened to be one of his weekends so he just happened to have a 65 seat bus! U better believe all 16 of us rode there in it! It really was hilarious, and very fun! After the walk we continued our carving, the boys ended up carving a temple pres Monsen and angel Moroni- it was pretty dang good!

[And I know that its so cliche to tell you that everyday I spend with you is the new best day of my life]

The babe is working, STILL.

He worked late last night too, when he got home I felt so sick therefore I nodded my head, acknowledging his presence, got off the couch and hit the sack. :(

He got some new motorcycle parts so he stayed up late re-configuring his bike. I LOVE when he does this, well really I just love watching him. I'm sad I missed it.

These are the times I spend aimlessly chit chatting with him. I tell him random stupid stories. He listens, even though he is preoccupied and I'm simply just hovering over him doing his thing. But he listens regardless. He puts up with my curious, dumb, technical questions about his man work. But instead of blowing me off, he takes time to respond and teach me exactly what he is doing. He makes me feel important. Have I mentioned I love this boy. Day in and day out, I cant seem to ever get enough of him.

Back to the point. I didn't really see him at all yesterday, and as for today I wont see him either.

I'm sad.

I miss that boy, cant wait for the weekend spending quality time. I'm glad he's a hard worker, and doesn't complain, don't mind my complaining haha!

[Enjoy the little things, one day you will look back and realize they were big things!]

I wish I had more time to Blog, I really do enjoy it. Time seems to never be on my side. So here we go playing catch up.

Relief Society broadcast- It was great! My mom and sister would tell you I paid no attention due to the fact I was dreaming about our outfits and hair for family pictures. But I really enjoyed Pres Ochtdorfs talk-

Forget not...

to be patient with yourself

that the Lord loves you

the difference between good and foolish sacrifices

the way of the gospel

to be happy NOW!

It was fun to be with my mom and sister, we missed Brielle and Chels but still had a good time. After dinner @ Applebee's we went and visited Grandma's grave. It wouldn't be a true girls night without Grandma. We used to craft and she would sit there in her spot at the table and made sure the conversation never died, she loved talking and hearing us laugh!

Next on the agenda Halloween make up at school! This has got to be one of my favorite things we do at school, to bad its only once a year! As for the school update, I feel like there really isn't one. Its just the same old thing, day after day, month after month. I am getting so burnt out I hate all the changes that never seem to disappear! I find myself more discouraged than anything- UGH! I'm ready to be done so here is to the last, the final 400 hrs---- I CAN DO IT!

UEA- this weekend has been UEA, its been a big bummer that Aust has had to work all the days I was off but we tried to make the best of it. We went to Flo-rider the other night, Aust is so fun to watch. He certainly has the hang of it now and is slowly teaching himself to do tricks! :) I've been crafting/Pinteresting with my sisters and mom and that's been a lot of fun! I love having them live so close, I will have to post pics of our stuff later! We also headed to Ikea for some closure on Mindys part, crazy that such a simple shopping trip turned almost fatal. We sure love that miracle boy! Jen and Becca met us there, its never a bad time when we are all together! :)

Family Pictures.

Sorry for the lack of posts in such a long time, this isn't even a post really, just wanted to show off all our cute family pics. :) Enjoy---
