HALLOWEEN!!

Happy Halloween everyone! In the afternoon Holly and James came over to paint and carve pumpkins with us. It was a lot of fun and it was Noah's first time painting, so he had a blast.

We think the pumpkins turned out pretty well. Adam and James carved theirs and Holly and I painted ours.




For Halloween this year Reese decided she wanted to be a cheerleader. She was so adorable. She got to wear her costume to dance class and preschool which was so fun. Noah was Superman. The day I bought his costume I tried it on him and he looked at me and said, "No want it Super Hero." It ws so funny. So we hid the costume in his closet until Halloween. He still didn't want to wear it, so we told him he couldn't get any candy unless he wore his Superman costume. Needless to say he put it on quickly after that. The kids had so much fun Trick-or-Treating!! Everytime we started walking up to a house Noah would yell "Trick-or-Treat! TRICK-OR-TREAT!!!!" until they came to the door. He also kept saying "It's Halloween, I'm not scared!" Reese really enjoyed Trick-or-Treating too. She wanted to go to as many houses as possible. Unfortunately the rain cut it short, but they still got plenty of candy.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween as much as we did.

Jason Mraz!!!!







Ok, so I had one of the funnest night ever on Tuesday! Adam and I have been waiting to see Jason Mraz for a good 4 years now. I even tried to win tickets on the radio station to see him in Hawaii and I was caller number 8 of 10...that was a major heartbreaker. BUT he finally came to SLC and we got to see him!! So excuse me while I obsess a little but it was totally amazing and fun and just incredible! Ok, so here's some video and sorry about the scratchy noises. We were so close to the stage, it was awesome.



So the last video Adam didn't get very much of the song, but it's an awesome song, you should listen to the whole thing!

Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the fall! More posts to come...Halloween, Fun with Leaves, and My Birthday!!!

Witches and Windows?

WITCHES NIGHT OUT!!

So, on Friday Holly and I went to Gardner Village for Witches Night Out. It's a fun night for women to dress up as witches and just enjoy being out without the kids. So, James and Adam watched Noelle, Reese, and Noah, and we went out to enjoy the festivities. We didn't really dress up, we just wore witch hats, but there were some women who were totally into it. We saw Glinda the Good Witch, Malefasent, the Queen from Snow White, and the Fauna and Merry Weather from Sleeping Beauty. There were some pretty elaborate costumes. It was so much fun and I definately plan to go all out next year!




JOHNNY AND THE WINDOW?

This morning Noah came running into our room singing "Johnny and the Sprites, did you see one? Johnny and the Sprites!" It was so stinking cute that I wanted to get it on video. So, tonight I was trying to coax him to sing, which I usually do by singing the words wrong. I started singing, "Johnny and the banana?" and "Johnny and the monkey?" Noah replied each time with "Noooo" so I said, "Can you sing it right" His reply was, "Johnny and the Noah! Johnny and the Mama! Johnny and the Daddy! Johnny and the Window!" Johnny and the window? Adam and I could not stop laughing. Noah has really started talking a lot lately and him joking with us just made Adam and me feel like he is growing up so fast. We just can't get enough of our adorable little man!





P.S. Incase you don't know what Johnny and the Sprites is, it's a kid's show on the Disney Channel. Here is a video of the song...

Hair-Dos and Heaters

So, the other day we woke up to a freezing house...it was then that we realized that our heater was not working. Adam called his dad (an HVAC man) but until he is able to come up we've had to use some alternative methods of keeping warm. Thanks to the snow our house got down to 52 degrees last night. This morning one by one we filed into the family room and snuggled in front of the fireplace.


The other day I was sitting by the fire studying for my test and I wasn't feeling very well, so I asked Adam to come sit by me and give me a massage and play with my hair. Little did I know that my "little helpers" would want to get in on the fun.














Yeah, I look beautiful in all these pictures :) But mind you, I wasn't feeling well, we've had a cold/flu in our hosue for the past 2 weeks. Reese enjoyed doing my hair and I had fun feeling like it was getting pulled out. But seriously, it has been a lot of fun spending these extra minutes with my husband and kids. We count ourselves very lucky to have it. We hope you all are enjoying the snow more than we are!

Oh the things that we've done...

So since I last posted, life has gone by way too fast... school has been a major time consumer. Lets just take a look at Adam's and my classes:

Adam: Semi-conductors, Power Circuits, World Wide Web and Internet, Real-time Embedded Controllers, and Technology Research


Lindsay: Capital Budgeting, Investments, Financial Problems I, International Business, and Financial Institutions


Can you see why we are so busy? I even bring my laptop to the park! Isn't that sad? But, now on to the exciting stuff... Reese turned 5! I cannot believe how fast she is growing up. She has blossomed into such a big girl the last month or so. Socially she is turning into a butterfly. Although I'm afraid of what the future may bring, let me explain, the other day Reese told me that her teach made her move to a different seat because she was being bad. I asked her if she just didn't want to be good in class and if she just wasn't paying attention to the teacher. She said, "No I want to be good and listen, it's just so much fun to talk to all the girls who sit by me." Anyway, for her birthday she wanted a yellow teddy bear cake, just like the picture that came with the cake pan. I think it turned out pretty well, except the right eye, but you live and learn and move on.




We also went to the circus which was really fun. The kids enjoyed seeing the animals and I think that my favorite part was the motorcycles. There were 7 in that cage thingy! It was friggin' sweet. Well, I guess I better try and keep up with my blog so that I don't have to write so much at once! Love you all!
