Wow, Halloween has been really busy this year! So many "Partay"s! On Oct 22-23 was adults only halloween spectacular hosted by friends Dever and Tambi, Dever is Nick's Motorcycle buddy, they go out on theirs bikes and enjoy riding around this beautiful state. Anyway, it starts off with dinner and movie at their home. Couples came dressed up and watched a movie. Here is me and Nick as gangsters!

Emma didn't like cleaning out her pumpkin, but she did it.

Sadly I never got a final shot of her carved pumpkin, but she carved her pumpkin

into the one thing that she is most scarred of....an OWL.

Okay, so the ward I attend is legendary for Halloween Party's, mostly due to who has been

in charge that last few years in the activities committee. This year was awesome. It was

held on the 30th, with a chili cook off, Dancing, minute to win it games, and the trunk or

treat. It was a lot of fun, and I got to participate in a dance collaboration with the YM and YW

in the ward to Michael Jackson's 'Bad'.

Nashville Heart Walk

On Oct 2nd was the Nashville Heart walk. Its a 2 mile walk for curing Heart Diseases. Nick's company had signed up to walk this year and put together a team. It was a beautiful day and nice to get out of the house since the surgery. Although I couldn't walk the whole way, I did about half and did it in my brothers name: Carson, who was born with a heart defect. this is CHAMP the dog from Childrens Vanderbilt Hospital.

When Rick saw the dog, he ran right up to him and just game him a big old hug,

Emma wouldn't go near him, just too scared, but it was soo cute.

There was a lot of activities for the kids and lots of free food. A good 10,000 people

had showed up to walk. It was a lot of fun and great to see the support.

We will definately have to walk again next year.

When the boys are away, the girls gotta do somethin...!

So the weekend before my surgery on Monday the 20th of Sept, Nick and a bunch of friends decided to go down to Florida for the weekend to watch the BYU game against Florida State. So whats a girl to do with the men gone? Well lets get together at Jenny's for Grillin and Chillin!

So me, Jenny, Shannon, and Zoe got together to hang out with the kids and have a little fun, but our turn will come, don't worry, it will COME! and when it does, I'm thinking a girls weekend away at a spa, wouldn't that be heavenly. Shannon, Zoe, Jenny, Me

Our Little Boys, just the best of buds!

The next day we all met up again at a horse ranch for some free activities:Rick was scared to death of this horse, and didn't like being up there.

He is a little affraid of heights.

It was a great weekend with great friends, I have amazing friends.

Happy Birthday RICK!

Rick turned 3 on Sept 1st! Wow he is getting sooo big!! For his birthday he got a batman costume from grandma Cindy and he loves to wear it all the time, and just guess what he's gonna be for Halloween? We gave him a remote control lightning McQueen, and a party at one of his favorite places: Jump Zone on the 9th of Sept. Most of his friends came out and celebrated with him, and had a great time. This was his first big birthday party all to himself, the last couple years he shared it with Emma and another Friend, so this year- it was all for HIM! and He loved every minute of, and has kept talking about it.

Rick picked out his batman birthday cake.
