Strutin' Their Stuff-Halloween

We have a lot of fun at our house come Halloween. Fischer, Karl, and I aren't the only ones that get in the action.  Sadie and Gus like to strut their stuff on this fun night.

"ROCK"tober

Last night one of Karl's friends threw a Halloween party.  The theme: Rockstars.  Everyone came; Dolly Parton, Sunny & Char, Madonna, and many other celebrities.  Everyone was dressed as rockstars or rockers.  We 'rocked' the night away with good food, laughs, and playing Rock Band. We had a good time.

The Pro Golfer

Fischer LOVES to golf and play with his clubs so for Halloween this year what could be more appropriate then having him be a Professional Golfer.  I had a really hard time narrowing down pictures since there were so many cute ones. 







This picture made me laugh so I had to include it.  He was upset because he couldn't pick up the pumpkin.

Farewell (waving bye)

Ghost Circle

I'm always looking for cute decorations I can make without having to spend alot of money. I wanted something for outside and I remember seeing a picture one time of these little ghost that people had placed in a circle. It's kind of stuck with me so I decided I was going to make my own ghost circle to go around my little tree in my front yard.
To make your own ghost you'll need the following items:

Dowels (you'll need a dowel for each ghost you want to make.  I made 3)

Styrofoam ball (for each head)

1 1/2 yard of fabric for each ghost (a bed sheet will work too)

Elastics

Ribbon (Optional)

Permanent Marker

Glue Gun

Take your dowel and make a hole in your Styrofoam ball.  Add hot glue and glue the dowel inside the ball.  

Take your sheet or material and fold it diagonally so that it forms a triangle type shape. Don't worry if your material doesn't line up exactly. 

Place your dowel with the head inside the fabric and place an elastic around the the base of the dowel just below the head 

Add eyes, mouth or whatever facial feature you would like.  I just did the eyes.  For added effect I tied a bow around the neck.  

Place the dowels into the ground and tie the long ends (hands) together. Wala, you have a cute ghost circle. 

If you decide you don't like the circle you could always just do a line of ghost and place them along the sidewalk or entrance way of your house.  The possibilities are endless. 

Ghost Nails

Being in the Halloween Spirit I thought I would add some spooky ghost to my fingernails and toenails. 

Fishin' with Dad

Karl took Friday off so that he could take his favorite little man fishing.  Fischer had an awesome time and thought Gus (our dog) was HILARIOUS.  Gus would splash around in the water and Fischer would laugh so hard he couldn't stand up. 

Heading out to the River




Checking out the local wildlife.  Fischer thought the fuzzy caterpillar was cool.



Watching Dad show him how it's done.



Fischer had to touch every fish that Karl had caught.



Snack Time!

After a long day fishing he was warn out.  He passed out before we made it to the highway.

Fall Fingers

I like to do fun things with my toe nails but with Fall and Winter fast approaching my toes get hidden by boots and other shoes.  So I decided to let my finger nails have the spotlight for a bit.  I'm not sure if this design is my favorite, it's a little busy for me. I tend to like a simpler look when it comes to my fingernails.  The idea is that its suppose to look like a bunch of fall leaves. 

Candy Corn

With Fall in the air I thought I would do a tribute to something fall-like on my toes.  What says fall more then candy corn?

UFC 135-DENVER

For Karl's birthday I got him tickets to go to the UFC 135 Jones vs. Jackson event in Denver, Colorado.  It was a quick trip but we had a lot of fun.

Denver Bronco's Stadium

UFC Fight Night

This was the stadium as we were waiting for the event to start.  Once it got started it was packed.

Karl made a new "friend" while at the fights.  The guy next to him was completely wasted.  The poor chap couldn't even stay awake.  When he did he would start screaming whatever came to his mind like he was all into the fights.  During one of his dosing spells the guy ended up dumping his beer all over himself and onto Karl.  Karl was a good sport about it and found it mostly humorous.

On the way home we drove through Vernal. Vernal has one of the new smaller temples.  I had never seen one so we stopped to take a picture.  It was cool.  It really wasn't any bigger then some of the older two-story church buildings.  It was neat to see. 

Overall we had a great time.  It was nice to have a weekend with the hubby.

A Family Fun Weekend

I'm a little behind on this particular post but a couple of week ago we had the opportunity to hang out with Karl's family.  Craig and Lori came down for the BYU/UTAH game.  They weren't here for very long but while they were here we made the most of there visit.
On Friday we all got together and went swimming. All the kids had a good time.  Fischer really had a great time in the water.

Friday night the girls went out on a much needed girls night. We went out for dinner and enjoyed talking and catching up. Joyce decided to stay home and spent some time with the kids.  

Saturday before the game we took the kids up to bridal Vail falls.   

Fischer was all geared up for the game.  GO COUGARS! 

While the older kids went to the game. Brooke, Lori, Myself and the younger kids went to the Farm at Thanksgiving Point. 

Fischer was a pro on the pony ride.  He was quite the little cowboy.  He really didn't even need me standing next to him.   

 We are so glad when we get to hang out with family.  We had a great time!
