Lost and Found

I have lost my camera. :(


(False.)
Actually, I just left it in Spencer's car and he went back to Ephraim
...so now that it has been found, at it is most likely sitting in his room, we dont have to continue the grand search. (I hope there's nothing embarrassing on there!) However, this was probably the worst week to not have a camera. Im dying without it. Please come back to me.......
I Hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!
Happy Holidays.

Halloween Week

Pumpkins, Witches, Goblins, Ghosts. Halloween brings with it costumes, sugar highs, and unfortunately..... some injuries.
On Friday Spencer and I carved pumpkins at his apartment with his roommate Reed and his date. Spencer and I had a competition, so to speak, going on about who's pumpkin would be 1. the cleanest (on the inside) 2. Be the most creative. and 3. Be the most legit..... Poor Spence didnt understand what he was getting himself into unfortunately. Little did he know, the Brad and Lisa Dew family are intensely faithful pumpkin carvers. And we dont do the cute little faces with triangle eyes and missing teeth.... no no no. For example, these are the last two pumpkins that I have carved.
2006- Belle and Chip
(missing pictures....will come soon)
2008- Batman (in case you cant see it, he's standing up. You just see his silhouette.)

I realize that it wasnt very fair of me that I didnt inform Spencer before hand that I take pumpkin carving very seriously...BUT Im sure that even if I did tell him, he would have said, "Yeah, whatever. It doesnt matter, Im still going to win." So, I just didnt bother. The evening was wonderful. We had a pumpkin carving party, Reedous set up the tunes and we covered the table in newspaper. It was fantastic. The ending result was as follows.....:

Reed's pumpkin: Texas Longhorns

Spencer's pumpkin: a Unicorn

My pumpkin: TAPOUT! (my idea came from Zack Wilson)

We had fun arguing who's pumpkin was more hardcore....until I pointed out that I carved Tapout, which in and of itself is hardcore....while Spencer carved a Unicorn. :) It is a very beautiful Unicorn however.
The last home game of Snow College Season was on Halloween!!! And with it came ...

Nonna's delicious homemade sandwiches

Bria's Creative Oreo Combinations

Sofie and Bobbo playing together

Spencer on the field before........

Kristin taking pictures of him breaking his arm. :(

Which lead up to Spencer on Lortab for the evening.... Lucky Dan was the one to give him the drugs and thought it would be a great idea to give him 2 Lortab instead of just 1. (he actually probably should have only had 1/2) But Im not complaining, it made for a incredibly entertaining evening.

Who knew I'd end up being a nurse for Halloween?! After all that stress of trying to find the best costumes, I didnt even need to fret! The only prop I needed for my costume was some Lortab, Krispy Kreme Donuts, and Chocolate Milk. Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!! Soon it will be time to give thanks and stuff yourself full of Turkey and Potatoes!!!
(side note: They've started playing Christmas music on the radio! :))

Autumn

I am so happy that it is jacket/sweater season! And that I no longer have to worry about my AC not working in my car. The seat warmers and I have become very close this past week, and Im loving all of this sunroof weather!! It makes me wish that I was back in CT cruising down the Merritt in Hayley's little car, windows down, both arms out the sunroof....good times. Anyway, Its been a really busy couple of months! Summer was a blast! Full of Rodeos, Concerts, Camping, Parties, New friends, Summer Lovin, etc.etc. Now I find myself welcoming Fall with arms wide open. I love the fall! I love Halloween, and Thanksgiving!! This is going to be a great season!
I've been going down to Ephraim a lot since August....why you may ask? Well, until August, I didnt even know where Ephraim was. Now, however, I've become very acquainted with this small time town and the drive to. E-town is full of college students, athletes, Gandolfo's, delicious pizza places, Walmart (yes! they even have a Walmart!!), and my Football Playing boyfriend! Spencer and I have been dating for about 3 months now, we met through my dear friend Whitney, and just hit it off! So I've been traveling down a bunch, especially for his games! They're so much fun!! Fall is just a super fun time for everything!!! More photos soon to come Im sure.... Until then...

Failing. and Bowling.

Yes I am completely aware that I fail as an everyday, American blogger. I realized today that I just can not ever seem to remember to update this thing. My last post was "oh my gosh its almost spring!" And now here I am, attempting to post once more and the summer is almost over! School starts next week for the youngins, and pretty soon the warmth will leave us for who knows how long. HOWEVER. We have had loads of fun this summer, camping, swimming, enjoying the warm sun, bowling, etc.etc. Tyson and I took Ellie and Nathan bowling the other day, and it was the most adorable thing I've ever seen! Nathan LOVED the bowling balls. and Elisabeth wasnt to shabby a bowler either. Here are some snap shots of our adventures of late. :)
Nathan loves bowling!Ellie's a natural!
He definitely knows what he's doing!!!!!That one actually was her first strike!!! GO ELLIE!

Springtime in '09

Happy Spring Break everyone!! yay!
Well, right before spring break I was smart enough to break my face...my nose actually. I was on a date with my friend Kraig, and we went to the tumbling gym in provo. It was a lot of fun!! They have this huge foam pit and we were stacking up blocks and jumping over them and through the circle ones, etc.etc. Well after jumping through the circle ones a few times we decided to see after we got through the circle, how many times we could flip before we hit the foam pit. :) Unfortunately when I landed in the pit, my knee decided to become friends with my face. :( It immediately started bleeding and my nose swelled up like a balloon.
Luckily Kraig was cool about it and we went to dinner, yummy Cafe Rio! We also watched James Bond=very good night.

Spring Break was tons of fun. Tyson and I made mom and dad take us to the Planetarium and the Aquarium!!! AND TyD had his first Cafe Rio meal! We were so proud of him.
TyD and I also went Bowling on friday, and we saw the movie "Push"...not so bad, but basically the same thing as the "Jumper" movie. On Saturday Kimbra and I went SHOPPING! at the Gateway, and then we hung out at Tom's house. We didnt get home til 3am, but we had so much fun!!! Im so glad that its finally warm outside!!

Although I hear its not going to last, which makes me sad....but Im going to enjoy it while it lasts...also two of my bestest married friends AL AND NISHA are back from CALIF and Im so excited to see them again! yay! I missed you guys! School is AWESOME! I totally love it! Even when I dont have clients we still have fun (I need more clients! Anyone want a hair cut/color/weave/perm/etc.???) hah. But this lovely twisty corn-row picture is what happens when I get bored at school! hah

Well I've got to run, Ellie just woke up and her molars are coming in, so she's not a very happy little girl, poor thing.

Catching up

Okay, so I realize that I haven't blogged in a few months and I apologize, however I have been fairly busy. School is AWESOME right now! Tomorrow I take my written test to get out of O.R. and then the practical is on Tuesday. Im SO nervous for the written though, I've never been a very great test taker....so we'll see how that goes. But if I actually pass then I'll be SO excited to finally be out on the floor!!! I've started going country dancing again, and I totally love it! I go every Wednesday now, and I have the time of my life!! If you've never been, I highly recommend it! We have a lot of fun! Other then that,.....Im just going to school, working (I LOVE Nathan and Ellie, they are the best kids ever, and now that its getting warm Im so excited to do fun activities OUTSIDE! can you say....cabin fever?), dancing, and dating. :) although the last one isnt proving to be very successful....I still have a lot of fun with it. hah Anyway, thats about all I have time for because FOR ONCE this week, its actually warm and sunny outside! Im off to study at the park! xoxo
