My annual Halloween party

Every year I do a Halloween party for my niece's and nephew's and it is a blast. Kids are hilarious and even more so in costumes. Add in dancing in those costumes and you are golden. We ate, danced, ate some more, watched Nightmare Before Christmas (a definite tradition at my house) and then danced some more.

We had a really fun night.

Taylee was my awesome little helper!

Eating on the floor. Ghetto or awesome?

I can't believe it took me 26 years to finally
be Ariel for Halloween. Better late than never.

Playing Just Dance. This was definitely the best part
if the night. The video's I took of the kids dancing
I will cherish forever. So funny.

Bat pumpkin. Watching over and protecting us.

Frankenstein cupcakes thanks to Taylee.

Pretty horrible mummy cupcakes or "mommy cupcakes"
as Taylee calls them.

I always have to set up an extravagant Halloween treat table
otherwise I'd see the party as a failure.

Happy Birthday to me!

Sadie would not look for the picture just to bug me.  :)

No we don't go to Michigan State I've just visited there a few
times this year ha ha.  :)

I had a really fun birthday weekend and wanted to share some pics. I was definitely spoiled this year! We played all weekend. We went shopping, ate delicious dinners and of course danced to Just Dance Summer (thanks to Kaydee and Randee for getting it for me) with my nieces and nephews. My bday landed on a Sunday this year so we went on a hike and then my Mom made me a thanksgiving dinner (I requested it jokingly and she took me serious) it was delicious. It was one of the best birthdays I've ever had and that's saying something!

Moab 2011



We had a fun trip to Moab this past weekend where I got to play
 around with my new camera app (hence all the pictures) and visit some
fun arches. We ventured out to some new arches this year,
Sand Dune Arch, Skyline Arch and Uranium Arch.



Here's some pictures of the kids having fun. I took
alot of pictures of this pirate boat play house they have
in the back of the Archway hotel becauseI want to build this
 for my future children in my future backyard.I also took a picture of
 Cade that I think seriously resembles the Gerber
baby except Cade is fatter.



Here are some jeepin photos. We went on a long trail on
 Saturday that took all afternoon but we discovered some really fun
stuff at the end of it so I think we'll do this one again. All in all a really fun
 trip that took Riley away from his homework for a weekend :)
