Thanks to Nate and his nifty nift connections we all got to go to the South Towne Expo Center for Trick Or Tree Street on Saturday. It was way fun and we got literally like 4 pounds of candy which isn't bad considering we only have 2 kiddos and one can't even eat candy! Our family went as characters from 101 Dalmations. I was Cruella Deville, the girls were our dalmations and Thom was Horace one of the dog catchers. We got to go with the cousins which always makes things so much more fun. Libby is overall very very shy but when she is with her cousins she just brightens up and can be much more outgoing. It is awesome! Thanks Matt and Kerrylin for making the treck for us! We are really looking forward to someday living closer to you guys!

Oh and Libby LOVES to feed Paisley. It can be helpful but sometimes not so much as the mess does increase. I just thought this pic was cute with one doggy feeding another! :)

Things to do in Utah

Okay so I got this idea from a friend...thanks Heather! Okay so we don't plan to live in Utah the rest of our lives but we will be here for at least a couple more years. But I am asking for ideas to add to my list of what I must do before we leave Utah. I know most of you have some sort of attachment to Utah so you must have some sort of thing you love to do in Utah. Okay so far on my list i have:

Hike Mount Timpanogas with Thom!
See the Christmas Lights at Temple Square

Okay so please help me add to my list!

Old Friends

Okay so within a weeks time frame I was reunited with Tons of my old friends from all different times of my life. First was Tracie Wu Ware and Emily Edmondson Rytting from high school. It was so fun to see them and catch up! I can't beleive we all have kiddos...well Emily will any day now anyway! Thanks a ton girls it was way fun!

Next was a mini SVU reunion! Some of our friends from SVU were coming to town and so I organized a get together for us all to reunite. Thanks Matt and Misty for getting us all together again! It's so weird how we all seem the same yet our numbers have doubled due to kids!

And finally and most recent was the reunion between my best friends from my first semester of college. They were only there for a semester at SVU so we weren't together long but we sure had a blas together! It was just like old times hanging out with them again. They are so totally cute! Ashley is the taller one, Laurelin the other. I sure love you girls! We haven't been all together since that freshman year 8 years ago. How time flys!

California Part 3

Okay one more quick post on our trip to Cali. We went to Six Flags Magic Mountain on Saturday. It was supposed to be for the adults mainly but Libby ended up LOVING the kiddie land there! We went on all sorts of little rides. Her favorite by far was the charosel and the petting zoo where she got to pet lots of goats. It was so fun to see her having so much fun! It was pretty crowded so the adults didn't go on much. We did go on one ride called Tatsu which was crazy! You are flying facing the ground the whole time. The only thing between you and flying face flat onto the concrete way below is this harness that thankfully kept us snug. It was seriously crazy and terrifying but way fun. We all went on a ride called Log Jammer...even Libby and Paisley went with us. It's a water ride where you sit in a log and well we all had a blast except for Paisley at the end when we all got totally soaked!

7 Random Things About Me

Okay so I was 'tagged' a while ago to do this and I have been thinking about things often so here we go:

1) I am a chronic whistler. I don't know why but it seems like all of a sudden I am always whistling. In the car, waiting at the doc's office, in the grocery store, on a walk...I am sure I drive people nuts but only half of the time do I catch myself doing it and decide to stop.

2) I am terrified of making phone calls. It's really quite pathetic. Ever since I can remember I have been scared to pretty much anyone with the exception of my mother and now husband. My heart races, my palms sweat and I try to convince myself of reasons NOT to make the call. I am getting better...I call so much more than I ever did...when Libby was born I decided I couldn't get out of making phone calls anymore or at least as much so I am improving. But know that if I do actually call you it is somewhat a big deal so appreciate the rare experience :)

3) With the whistling I have noticed I am an avid counter. For no reason at all I count as I fill up my cup from the sink, brush my teath, feed Paisley or clean up. Who knows why...it's weird but true.

4)I am a lazy perfectionist. If I know I don't have the time to do something PERFECTLY I don't want to do it all. So many things go without being done until I can't stand it anymore and then neglect other duties to spend all my time doing the one thing perfectly. Or I just don't ever do it and let guilt bug me.

5)I love the color pink! In collge Thom bought me a pink 1976 volkswagon beetle. The cutest car on the face of the earth! But car seats didn't fit in it so when Libby was born I sold it to my cousin. My girls and I wear pink daily (almost) and I would buy just about anything if it was pink. Computer, utensils, tv's, shoes, books etc. But I try to tame my obsession due to Tom being a man. I dated a guy in college that got really annoyed by my obsession and told me that when while he was on a mission I should work on getting over it. No thanks pal!

6)I have always wanted a little sibling. I bugged my parents for years. I now finally have one...my brother-in-law Sa Tanuvasa...Thanks for making a dream of mine come true Sa!

7)Growing up all I ever wanted to be was a wife and stay at home mom. In college I was pre-med and planned to do physical therapy in grad school in case I didn't get married but when I got married I was more than happy to not continue on to grad school and now I can honestly say I am living my dream life! Thanks wonderful hubbi for making all of my dreams come true...with the pink bug...a little brother...and a fabulous husband and two awesome little pink girls!
