Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We had dinner with the Johnsons on Thursday afternoon which was soo good! My sister-in-law Tiffany thought it would be fun for all the kids to make gingerbread houses, and since we have no kids we got to make one of our own. That night we went and saw Enchanted, so good! I think everyone should see it! Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! Can't wait for Christmas in just 3 weeks!

HELP!

I am in need of some serious help! I have been asked to bring some pies to the Johnson Thanksgiving dinner, preferably homemade. I am not a baker, and I have never once in my life made any sort of pie, except for the chocolate pudding sort of pie.......I need some ideas and recipes for a foolproof delicious pie to serve on Thanksgiving! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated-
Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours!

Arcade Bliss

I don't know what it is about arcades, but I LOVE THEM! Maybe it's because they make me feel like a little 5 yr. old kid again, and I think 5 yr. old kids are fun. We had a little date night at the nicklecade this past weekend and for sure I was loving my life. $10 bought us about an hour of arcade bliss, and I pretty much got my trash kicked at everything by Zachary, but what can I say, he's good and I loved every minute anyways!
We didn't really ride this thing, but it made for a cute pose...
The shooting games are by far my favorite, good thing I am not a violent person in real life!

We have to live out our dreams of gun fighting at the arcade...

and for $10 we each went home with a Fun Dip, love those things!

Saturday Night Out

This past weekend was pretty uneventful. Saturday Zachary got invited to go to a BYU football game with one of his buddies, this may have been the first time Zachary has left me home on a weekend with absolutely NOTHING to do! I was so beside myself trying to figure out a way to occupy my time. I definitely don't like to be separated from my spouse during our free time, much less on the weekend! I ended up making a trip to the veterinarian with in-laws, which may sound boring, but I learned some new stuff about horses and it took up about an hour and a half of my time. Later that night we got to go to a reception of one of Zacharys old roommates with our friends Luke and Ali and had dinner at Ruby River- Love that place. We can always count on a good time with Luke and Ali around so we were glad they came along!

Trick or Treat

Our first Halloween was a fun one. We dressed up, ate too much candy, and got our pants scared off at a frightening Haunted House!
We didn't anticipate any trick-or-treaters coming to visit us in the basement so took to the streets and delivered our goodie bags this year!

Zorro and his Senorita (We never really could come up with a name for my character!)

As you can tell Zachary L-O-V-E-D his costume

Visiting Jaylee and Cam as Dorothy and a Puppy, So cute!

Isaac, Hannah, and Reed made for some mean looking pirates, and Andrea was the cutest spider I have ever seen!

Zorro challenged Capt. Jack Sparrow to a duel........he was sorry he did....

Looking mean, but hard as she tries, Hannah just looks cute.
