last bit about halloweiners.

our halloween celebration took place on sunday night with a little party my mom and i put together. unfortunately i didn't get pictures of all the delicious food, just the treats. guess we know where my priorities are...

pumpkin cupcakes.

i dipped pretzels in caramel and chocolate for a little take home treat. always a hit.

we're pretty scary huh. we didn't dress up this year...i know, super lame. i have a feeling halloween is going to get a whole lot better once we have some babes.

last night i took down all my halloween decorations, kind of sad because i have nothing for thanksgiving! i may need to take a little trip to target or perhaps just put up my christmas stuff early...i like it.

november!

today is november! november!! i can't hardly believe it. the good thing is that i can finally start planning for christmas and won't feel like such a freak about it...anyway...

i had the entire weekend off and it was fabulous. after sleeping all day on friday {after working all night} i woke up and isaac took me out to the classic dinner and a movie. it was perfect. i even pulled out my boots! {shown in the above pic...so fancy}. pretty exciting people. saturday was full of shopping with my mom and making last minute plans for halloween. i baked/dipped a bazillion treats. last night we threw a delicious little halloween get together, i can't wait to tell you more about it. as of now i have to go get ready to participate in a simulation lab at work...i'm a little nervous because they'll be filming us and then we have to watch and debrief after. gah, i do not like to see myself on film. especially when i'm being placed in a {pretend} high pressure situation.

how was your weekend?!

haaaaappy halloweeeeen!

i hope you're having a spooky spooky day! i currently am stuffing myself with pumpkin everything {you'll see}...i love this holiday.

i wish...

i want so badly to have a beautiful porch to display my beautifully carved pumpkins. unfortunately we live in an apartment complex in which no one comes to trick or treat. boooooo. so sad. at least i don't have to buy candy...?! you know me, always looking on the bright side.

do you have any fabulous halloween plans? we're still trying to get our weekend all planned out. i'm kind of thinking we need to take a ride on the creepy heber valley railroad. has anyone done it? if so, please fill me in on if it's creepy or dumb. thank you very much.

p.s. it is a winter wonderland outside...i feel like i should be planning christmas not halloween!

witches night out.

last week, after our yummy dinner at parker's, my mom, sis and i headed over to my aunt's fabulous store belle book & candle for her annual witches night out celebration. she has the most fabulous, creepy halloween decor and it's always so fun to go each year and pick out a few new goodies to spook up our place.

if you're local you really must check out her store, it's filled with beauties all year long.

spooky.

helloooo. how is everyone's weekend been so far? mine has been lovely, i've been busy organizing and getting ready for halloween {can you tell i'm excited...}, attending a witches night out where i ate lots of spooky treats, and taking frequent naps. i worked my second shift as a nurse on friday and i literally did not sit down for more than 5 minutes the entire shift. i am still so exhausted from that busy busy day! thank goodness for relaxing sundays, i don't know what i would do without them.

halloween spooktacular.

what a weekend. friday night i decided to surprise isaac with one of my favorite halloween traditions...
what could it be?so excited to surprise ike. we were approaching kingsbury hall and heard screams...

screams because these creepers were hobbling around and getting in peoples faces...
thriller!
such a fabulous dance spectacular. some of my favorite dances are of course thriller, salem's mass, and river of blood dance. oh man, it made me miss dancing so much. do any of you dancers out there take an adult jazz class? i need to find one and get dancing again. anyway...isaac loved it and it really got us into the spirit of halloween.

saturday night we had friends and family over for chili and cornbread. it was yummy. then off to michael jackson's this is it. i loved it. if you grew up singing and dancing to his music like i did, you must see it. i was dancing in my seat the whole time. read ike's take on our weekend and listen to our favorite mj songs here.

little devil.

i wish i could still fit into this costume...

tonight i'm taking isaac on a surprise halloween date!
and tomorrow night is chili and cornbread with friends.
can't wait.

happy halloween!

pumpkin patch.

sad fact: i have never been to a pumpkin patch. at least i can't remember ever going...so isaac and i decided it is a halloween/fall must. we found one here in south jordan and isaac, clint and i made our way over to the magical patch.

i love baby pumpkins.
i'm once again staying warm in isaac's sweatshirt...

i can't wait to carve them!

sunday drive.

i love taking sunday drives during the fall. we took ike's family dog abbey with us and we headed up springville canyon to see the fall colors.
oh abbey.

love him and love wearing his comfy too-big-for-me sweatshirts.

creepy cows! i was seriously spooked after seeing this pic. peeerfect for halloween.
