Twilight

It's funny how a simple book series can take you back and make you feel like a giddy teenage girl.  With less than a week before the movie comes out I thought I should start getting back into the Twilight mania. I took this quiz and turns out I'm most like Bella.  The funny thing is I made Tyler start reading the book so he can see the movie with me and when he finished the first chapter last night and told me "Laura, you're a lot like Bella....akward, afraid to talk to people.  She reminds me of you."  Somehow I don't think that was a compliment.  I just hope he can finish the book in a week!



Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!

I think the description fits me pretty well... especially the impatient, stubborn, and head strong part :)

You are observant, diplomatic and often aim to please. You are unaware of your
attractiveness and despite being uncomfortable with any form of attention, people enjoy your company. You can be impatient, stubborn and headstrong, but you are true to your word and mature for your age, often taking care of your family and enjoying a good book over chatting with girlfriends on the phone

Tribute to Tyler

Today is Tyler's birthday and although he can drive me crazy at times, he is my everything and I couldn't live without him. Since he is turning 28 today I thought I would share 8 reasons why I love him so much.

1. He has the best fashion sense of any man I know.  Most of my cute outfits he has picked out for me.  His most recent purchase for me....red purse for church.  Super cute!

2. He loves to cuddle with me.  And his chest and shoulder make a great pillow.

3.He has gorgeous eyes...if you have ever looked at them you will know what I mean.  Sunburst is what they are called.  Plus he has awesome calves.  All the gay guys love them. Seriously....it's funny.

4. He'll watch chick flicks with me, and he actually enjoys them most of the time.  The notebook is one of our favorites.

5. He does random acts of romance.  He'll surprise me and stop by school to have lunch, or buy my my favorite candy because I had a bad day, or I'll come home to flowers....just because.

6. He makes me laugh.  Even when I am so mad at him I want to scream he makes me crack a smile and has won me over.  All who know him, know what I mean.

7. He loves his family.  Any man who talks to his mom several times a week is bound to be super sweet.

8. Last of all, but certainly not least, he loves me more than any man has ever loved a woman.  He would die for me, he would live for me, he would walk to the end of the earth for me.

I could go on and on, but 8 will have to cut it for now.

Happy Birthday Baby!! I LOVE you!

Halloween Fun!

Last Saturday our ward had a chili cook-off and Trunk or Treating for the kids.  Those of you who know me well know I LOVE to dress up.  So Ty, Boomer, and I put on our costumes and headed out.  Boomer was a big hit with all the kids (he was a great sport. He hated the hat and sulked everytime I put it on him) We had so much fun we had to take some pictures at home too.  Here are a few of our favorites. Enjoy!

                                                                

                                                                   My FAVORITE:

                                                          Caught him and cuffed him!!
                                                   We know who is the law around here!

Of course of friends in the ward gave us a hard time about the costumes ....kinky was the word they kept using.  I don't know where they got that idea. :)

Pumpkin carving

Well it's that time again. Time when for fall and the start of the holiday season. We kicked  off this Halloween by carving pumpkins with Bonnie and Wes last weekend. We got to take Boomer over to play with their dog Nala and meet their new boxer, Nicodemus. It really made me want to get another dog for Boomer to play with. I'll have to keep working on convincing Tyler.

Working hard on making our pumpkins perfect!



Not the best picture, but here are the finished pumpkins.
I did the ghost on the far left and Ty did the skull next to it. Bonnie and Wes did the pirate and RIP gravestone.


Here's a little taste of what we dressing up as for Halloween. Stay tuned for more!

3 birthday parties, 3 BBQs, & 33lbs later...

What a busy Labor Day weekend! It started out with a birthday party of one of the girls in our primary class followed by two of our favorite babies turning one! Little Deacon and Finn both had great birthday parties and made a great big mess out of their cakes. Yummy!



We had a great time at some super fun BBQs. The Robinsons had us all over for a night of good food and fun. What a cute little family!




All the kids (including Tyler) had a good time despite the a bleeding lip and bumped heads.


We then went to the ward Labor Day picnic and finished off the weekend with a BBQ with Bonnie and Wes. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful friends! We had a fabulous time with everyone. There was so much good food to eat we'll have to hit the gym hard this week!
