Surprise!

On Sunday I had a surprise BIRTHday party for my Dad at my house. I invited all 6 of my Dads brothers and their wives and his one sister and her hubby. They all couldn't make it because some live out of state but 4 out of the 7 came..so not a bad turn out.

The food was so yummy..My husband helped me make broccoli soup and ham & bean soup in bread bowels. My dad is a health nut so I made some whole wheat bread for him to have:) The food, dessert, company, was all great! The party was a success! Yes!

Oh marriage...

My friend that I grew up with got married last Thurs. I had the opportunity to go see her get sealed in the temple which was so neat! The temple is just truly amazing and the spirit there was incredible! Yay for love:)

The sun was so bright that day that It was hard to keep our eyes open...




Mindi and Tua~




I was to busy chatting with people so I didn't take very many pics of the reception..but It was so beautiful, and the food was really good. Here are the two pics I got..


CONGRATS Mindi and Tua!

Oh you desert ...

Taylor and I had the great privilege of going to Colorado to visit my FABULOUS, FUN, DARLING, SMART, INSPIRATIONAL SISTER and her family that I absolutely adore.
We did the following....

We went hiking..Just Jen, Taylor and I...
( I didn't get many pics of the hike but there are plenty of pics in this post.)
~We found this really cool building on the way and so I documented it...


Tay and I went down to the Garden of the Gods which was a really neat sight...




Colorado is not Utah...because Halloween was on Sunday and everyone else went trick or treating on Sunday, we had a party on Saturday in my sister's back yard with a lot of their friends.





Kate was an Egyptian Princes. When she came down to show her costume to us, Taylor and I said, "kate you look so CUTE" she replied back, "I bet sooo many people will tell me that tonight." oh Laugh Out Loud! Taylor said, we probably should stop telling her how cute she is.


~On Sunday the grown ups all went to different rooms of the house and the kids came around to each of the rooms to trick or treat. The kids had to do tricks to get there treats. It was so a joyous time watching them do tricks and tell jokes.

Good job Matthew you earned your treat and a pat from mom:)
