Halloween Festivities

Friday night we went to a co-worker's Halloween party and since we

didn't really want to spend money on costumes we dug around in our crazy clothes bin and decided to put my yards of green polyester to good use....
dead cheerleaders!!
We typically don't do the whole scary costume thing and everytime I looked over at Nate I felt a little creeped out - didn't he look awesome?!

Saturday morning we volunteered at a Halloween carnival - the social work program sponsers the event up at Fort Douglas. Nate and I were working the fish pond and the weather was perfect, we had a great turnout.
We decided that it was too much work to do the whole dead cheerleader make-up again so this time around I was the cheer coach and Nate was the cheer captain.



Then we had a trunk-0-treat at our church for the little kiddies...
of course our trunk was the most popular - two words:
dry ice!

Then we went over to chill with Nate's family...
Lindsey and Justin came as old folks and they pulled it off perfectly!


Brady and Becky came with their kids and I taught Kenny
the important skill of Halloween candy organization.


Of course Rick and Georgia had on the only Halloween costumes
I have ever seen them in
(and I have known them for almost 10 years!)
so I decided to snap a picture
to do a comparison from last year:
(update! Nate just read this and told me to look through our Halloween pictures from previous years...no 2007 but I added 2006!)

2006-------------------2008--------------------2009

I think I have started a superman pumpkin picture tradition! Wouldn't it be fun to take a picture each year in that same spot and after like 15 years print all the pictures into a book?

Pumpkins & Power Drills

So our pumpkin carving this year was pretty hilarious - everything was going really well until we got out the power drill. That thing slices through pumpkins like butter! Things quickly got out of hand and Nate's pumpkin had a crater instead of an eye hole. We better remedy for that than a slice of green acorn squash?

All in all we had some good laughs and
Nate toasted some very tasty pumpkin seeds.
(I think olive oil is his secret)

Morgan's Baptism

Saturday morning we had the chance to attend our niece Morgan's baptism.
She is such a smart, beautiful, and talented eight year old!
It's so much fun being an aunt...of course I have had awesome examples.
I would like to give a shout out to those lovely ladies:
Aunt Cyndi, Aunt Cathy, Aunt Koreen, Aunt Kristy, and Aunt Jeanne





Later that afternoon Nate and I went to the Draper Temple.
What a beautiful building inside and out!
It was so nice to spend the day with Nate -
I love that guy with all my heart.
