Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! Since I couldn't get my act together this year and come up with a costume I thought I would share these photos of halloweens gone by. Thanks mom for the scans! Be prepared for some awesome nostalgia!
My favorite part of this one is my dad as the mexican sheriff. Although I do love Micah's huge mickey mouse head.Ah the Wizard of Oz themed year. You better believe I wore my ruby slippers until every grain of glitter was off. I love Aaron's triangle eyebrows.
Okay I have no idea what I am in this picture (so mom if you could leave a comment and clue me in that would be great) I love Aaron's all white face and how cute Micah is and Dad's creepy yet funny huge smile.
Me as a witch. I love the rickrack detailing. How cute. My favorite! The classic Star Wars themed halloween. Obi, Luke, Lei and of course the token Ewok. I love how curly Micah's hair is so curly and that I am wearing bright red tennis shoes with my costume! That belt is probably one of my favorite accessories I have EVER owned, vinyl with puff paint!

Pumpkins!

Well, we carved pumpkins last night and I used the drill with too small of a drill bit so tonight I might make the holes a little bigger.

I love the mouth on Steve's.

Yeah Halloween!

The Weekend and Witches

I have a few childhood memories of being literally frightened out of my mind and this weekend I am going to make Steve relive one with me. When I was small, younger than 10 I saw this movie and it scared me so bad, I remember leaving the room. Its this fantastic remake of Roald Dahl's children's book The Witches. Creepy scary women with purple eyes and flesh masks. See it. Thanks Shauna for letting us borrow it.

Funny Thing

The funniest thing happened yesterday. I went to the bathroom and there was a penny in the toilet!

There was a nickel on the bathmat too!

Apparently we are well off enough to just flush money down the toilet.

Pretty Fall by the MOA

Fall on Center Street

Steve and I went for a little walk in downtown Provo this past Sunday between sessions. I have been gushing about all the beautiful fall trees we have around here and Steve had spotted some good ones on Center Street. It was beautiful and crisp yet warm in the sun.
Center Street is one of my favorite parts of Provo well it kind of gets more ghetto the further west you go and the speed limit is 15 MPH but I do love it. The median has big leafy trees and the buildings are all old and most have the original brick facades. It kind of reminds me of 1st St. in Snohomish although not as many antique shops.
This photo was an accident, I'm not that talented, but I really like it. Thats Steve in the background with the new Covey Arts Center.

Brown Boots I Love

I have been looking for an everyday flat brown leather boot and I have found the perfect ones. So now I am going to try to find them for cheaper than nordstrom online! I'm a girl on a mission.

Pretty Flower

There is this bush in front of our neighbor's window that has these flowers on it. They are open in the morning when it is chilly and they are closed when I come home from work in the heat. I managed to remember to take a picture when they were unexpectedly open the other evening. It is intentionally blurry. I think it looks cool. I love the color. So vibrant!

Double Musical Weekend: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

This weekend Steve and I went to see Hairspray and it was FANTASTIC!! I can't even tell you how entertaining and enjoyable it was. The theater was packed and everyone was laughing cheering and having a merry time. I loved it on broadway and I loved this version too. I promptly burned the soundtrack from a friend and have been singing along since. Go see it or rent it! Then Saturday my musical loving enthusiasm was cut short. Shauna, a friend from work and I went to see a matinée. I have been anticipating this film since I saw this first preview knowing it was going to be strange but expecting the cinematographic brilliance of Lehrman's Moulin Rouge. Plus I love the Beatles. It was weird and I wanted to leave. I kept thinking to myself "No Me Gusta!" And we mumbled about the weird circus drug scene and the naked white Asians and the crazy masked army officers and Salma Hayek as a cloned nurse. I know its supposed to take place in the 1960's but you don't need 45 minutes of drug induced scenes. The beginning was fine and the ending was okay but the whole middle was pure disappointment. The only thing I really liked about it was how fresh all the vocalists sounded. Don't see it or at least wait for the $1. Boo Julie Taymor.
