This is just a fun cuff bracelet I made. I wasn't going to put it on here because I was going to make one for Kim and Mindi for Christmas, but I think we might just do a craft day and make our own!

Back to my High School weight!!

Well.. I have tried running, Beach Body's Slim in 6, counting calories but I never can stay with anything. I've done Weight Watchers before and lost 7 pounds, so I decided to go back on it. I also decided to start and finish the work out program INSANITY! If you don't know what that is I will tell you in one word.. insane! It is super hard! I hate it but LOVE it at the same time! ha ha! I have been doing it pretty hard core except for a couple breaks here and there for vacations, holidays and getting sick. I am over half way through. Through INSANITY and Weight Watchers I have lost over 15 pounds!!! and I'm still going! So yes.. I am back to my high school weight and actually less right now. Anyway.. just a really great accomplishment for me!

Marshall already LOVES Baby Betty!

So, when we were in Idaho we saw our new niece Betty's baby announcement and Marshall saw it, laid his face on it and said "ahhh". It was so funny. So we tried to get him to do it again in the video. He also will kiss her picture but he wouldn't do it for the camera.

Our Halloween Dinner

Sunday, Halloween, we had a huge dinner! It was so fun! I made some witches wands and nutter butter ghosts for the table!

I also made witches to put on the glasses!

Aaron made some yummy homemade root beer!

Brady made this Grave Yard 7 Layer Dip

Mckelle made these fried eyeballs (meatballs), Jamie made mummy toes and on request (from me) Chelsea brought Spinach/Articoke Dip from Costco! She also brought some salad.

Mckelle brought this fun plate. Yummy fruit and dip. She also made these really fun cinnamon and sugar crackers.

Jamie made this cordon bleu Mummy. I bought a jack-o-lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's. Oh my heck, EVERYTHING was SOOOO good!

At the kids table we did Ghost PB & J's and orange goldfish!

I've never seen Marshall sit that long.. eating! It was great.

Mckelle made some yummy pumpkin ice cream for dessert. I made these cookies (thank you Shauna) and this mint brownie Frankenstein!

In between dinner we made Ginger Bread Haunted Houses. That was super fun! I love ours. I think it is more of a Haunted castle, but even better ehh?

Everyones haunted houses. We had so much fun and we were so sick full when we were done and probably for a couple days later! Since everyone left their haunted houses at our house, me and Brady doorbell ditched them to their owners a couple days later ha ha! Thanks for coming everyone!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Heros in a half-shell.. TURTLE POWER!

This is Marshall playing with the boxes used to make his shell. He is in there somewhere!

For Halloween Brady and Marshall were Ninja Turtles and I was April O'neil! It was a little hectic to make the costumes but fun!

Brady was Leonardo and Marshall was Michelangelo.

Marshall went trick or treating for the first time at the ward trunk or treat! He thought it was pretty cool. This is his first time eating a lollipop. We had to teach him how to eat it!

These are Marshall's "Sexy Turtle" pictures:

I could't get a very good picture of Marshall because he kept moving so I recorded him:

Monster Birthday Party

Marshall's friend, Vance, had his 1 year birthday party!! It was a monster themed party. Chelsea and Jordan (parents and our friends) made this fun thing to take pictures with. They also made super delicious food! It was really fun!

These were some of the cupcakes we made. If you can't tell they are monsters! Cute huh?!?

Trip to Idaho!

So we took Jared to school at BYU-Idaho a few weekends ago. It was good to see where Kim and Jared will live and to visit Rexburg. We were also able to visit Brady's family, The Cox's. They were kind enough to let us stay in their beautiful home and feed us yummy food!! ha ha!

We had to teach Marshall had to use head phones so we didn't have to listen to his dvd! We had a good time hanging with the family!

Another visit with Noah and Jenn!

Jenn and Noah came down to Provo to visit us! It was really good to see them! Marshall and Noah played really well together! This was just a really funny picture we took!

Marshall the Drummer

During Jared's little homecoming party, Tyson (Jared's best friend from Connecticut) taught Marshall some skills. After we recorded this he got on his own little drum set and was just going crazy! It was so funny!!
