Harry Potter 7 Days!!!

I just wanted to inform the masses, if you don't know all ready, the first installment of the last Harry Potter movie comes out in exactly 1 week! Jake and I are very excited and of course we are going to the midnight premier along with a few friends. Below is a picture of my alter-ego, Bellatrix Lastrange j/k :). I will be dressing as Bellatrix Lastrange for the premiere. I will definitely post pictures of the whole thing! I can't believe it's only 1 week! Yay!!!

Halloween 2010

This Halloween was especially fun. The highlight was definitely Jake's, Angie's, and Dan's costumes. Below you can see the original picture taken about 20 yrs ago on Halloween. Jake was a cute pirate, Angie, the California Raisin, and Dan is a sweet little bunny. On the right is their re-enactment of that Halloween. Angie even found a California Raisin costume on EBay. It was so fun!!

I was Little Red Ridding Hood
Me and my Baby Pumpkin :)

I can't wait till next Halloween. It is by far my favorite holiday. I love being with family and friends, the crisp fall weather, dressing up in fun costumes, the smell of jack-o-lanterns lit up out on the streets, children laughing and playing, trick or treating, and sometimes getting really scared!

Halloween at School

Today I threw a Holloween Party for my Class. We had a blast! There was a drawing for a prize, a costume contest, we watch Nightmare Before Christmas, and played a Jepordary Test Review Game.

Here is my student Jacklyn and I. She was my assistant for the Test Review Game, and I think we also look super cute as Dorothy and Little Red Riding Hood

Here are the results of the costume contest

(left to right)Me-Little Red Riding Hood: Best Overall. Jacklyn- Dorothy: Funniest.

Michelle-Love Bug: Most Creative. Chy-Pirate: Scariest

This Party was so fun! My students rock!

High School Friends

This past Saturday I got together with some of my best friends from high school. A few of us still hangout but it has been years since we have all been in the same state together. It was so much fun to reminisce and catch up on everything. It's kinda strange that we all look pretty close to the same as we did in high school. We must be aging very gracefully :)

Amber, Me, Christine, Katie, Katie, and Bekah

Here we are just goofing around. It totally reminds me of how silly we used to be. Christine is talking to a baby on the floor but it totally looks like she is having labor pains. Haha!

Phillip in the Future

I've had a lot of people ask me, "What is Phillip going to look like when he is all grown up?" I have tried to explain it but a picture is better than anything.

Below is a current picture of me and Phillip. I know, he is the cutest dog ever!!!

Here is a couple stock photos of an adult Cavalier. I definately think Phillip will be more handsome cause nobody is as cute as Phillip!

But this is the best example, I think, of what he will look like. Lady! on Lady and the Tramp. If you haven't seen this famous Disney movie then shame on you! Go to your grandma's house and watch it. (I'm assuming that all grandma's own every Disney movie!) I love my puppy and I am so excited to see him grow into a handsome dog!

Up The Canyon

This past weekend we decided to go up to the local east millcreek canyon and roast some hot dogs. A few family members met us up there and we celebrated our birthdays. My birthday was the 28th and Jake's was the 29th so we like to celebrate them together.

Everyone getting prepared for the roasting of dogs :)

I look like I am so excited to eat, haha!

Taylor, Kaitlyn, and Cameron being silly.

Angela, Phillip, and I trying to stay warm by the fire.

Oh, how sweet.

Sisters: Dianne, Sharlene, and Marianne.

Cousins having a blast, Hailey, Brian, and Erin.

Happy Birthday Jake! I love you and I am so excited to spend forever with you!

St. George Retreat

So I know that I am posting this a month late. I guess my blogging juices haven't been flowing lately, but I have to tell you about my St. George Retreat with my mom over the Labor Day Weekend.

Mom and I decided we needed a trip for just the two of us, so we traversed down to St. George to have a fun relaxing weekend.

We hiked, went to a show at Tuachan, got Pedicures, and most important we just relaxed!

Here we are in Snow Canyon. Taking pictures with just us two was kinda hard so there was a lot of reaching or just taking individual pictures of each other.

I had to take a picture of the best breakfast restaurant ever!! 'The Egg and I'

At the top of the Dunes in Snow Canyon, "Namaste!"

I have the cutest mom ever!

The view down snow canyon

On Saturday night we went to see the show "Crazy For You" at Tuacahn Amphitheatre. It was so fun! There was a lot of Gershwin music and tap dancing, oh and I can't forget the fireworks at the end!


We then got pedicures at the BEST Spa resort in St. George. Red Mountain Resort is an all inclusive wellness/weight loss center but they do allow public into their spa. It was awesome!



I had to have my pictures taken in front of this statue, It was right in the middle of a round-about but I thought it was so beautiful!!! Again, we were alone so we have our own pictures. :)

This trip was so much fun, and very relaxing. We even had enough time to lay at the pool and get a run in around the temple. Thanks mom for going on this trip with me! Let's do it again next year. Love you!!
