Thriller!!

This last weekend Spencer and I went to Salt Lake to see a Odyssey Dance production of Thriller. I absolutely loved it!! I saw it a few years ago and just had to see it again. It's a bunch of little mostly comedic dance skits that have to do with Halloween. We went with my best friend Jeannine and her friend Tierra. Before and after the show they have zombies walking around and we happened to catch a few!

Carving Pumpkins

Well I said you'd soon see a blog of carved pumpkins and here it is. I didn't actually get any pictures of us while carving them but I'm sure you all know how it goes. We're pretty good if I do say so myself!

Introducing Casanova

About a month ago while looking for a gift for my brother and his bride for their wedding, Spencer and I came across this kit at Target. It so much fun! It's all the pieces for a Mr. Potato head pumpkin! There's were several different outfits, we chose the pirate and got my brother a vampire. Tons of fun and a lot safer and cleaner than carving pumpkins, although I'm sure you'll soon see posts of that too. I only recommend using a bigger pumpkin. Casanova is quite cute, but he's a little squished.

What did we do conference weekend?

Must click on this picture for the full "emotion".

Ice Caves

We went exploring with some friends of ours in some nearby ice caves that were pretty cool! Technically they're civil defense caves but people just call them the ice caves. There's not really ice inside unless you look deep inside the cracks but it's freezing. They are pretty deep though. We probably walked about a mile in and didn't even get to the end. I also found big foot's foot on the wall. Hmm....

Ouch!!!

A few weeks ago Spencer started a job with a guy he has known for a while helping him out doing construction jobs. This is what happened his second day on the job. There was a hole in the thumb of his glove and as he swung his hammer and went to move his hand, the glove got caught... and you guessed it! He even broke the nail he was hammering! Ouch.

He has also turned into to a bit of a cowboy! The guy he works for, Dave, being the best cowboy around, often gets calls from different associations to help with cattle drives and Spencer has been able to help! He doesn't get paid as it's just volunteer work but he loves it! Soon enough he'll even wear his cowboy hat.

Funnel Cake

So the other day while Spencer and his buddies were putting together a puzzle, someone made a comment about funnel cakes. I thought... I could probably make those! So I hunted down a recipe and took a trip to the grocery store and started my mission. They did look as pretty as the one's at the fair, but they were delicious! We had jam, syrup and some powdered sugar to top them off.
Oh and by the way I cut my hair as well. I'll put more pictures up when I actually take a good one!
