I got side tracked...

I went to see Laura tonight so I did not have time to do much updating. I promise that November face time, Elder adventures and December Holiday frivolity are on the way...

HOWEVER I wanted to post this video of a friend here in Renton, WA. Now let me say that you think my laugh is over the top?!? I have met my match and then some. Sharla's laugh is INSANE; she is sitting next to my mom on the couch. Yes I was really in pain from laughing so much. This 30 second snipet was a small amount of our 4 minute laughing endeavor. Sharla rocks my socks and I love her. Enjoy!!!

So far...

You have September and October to keep you happy. Tomorrow or Wednesday I will update on November, Thanksgiving, The Elders, Elder Bradshaw's b-day, December, the snow storm, Christmas Jars, Christmas and New Years this week. You can see why it has taken me some time to get up to date. I have a lot of time on my hands now so I will make sure we are up to date by the end of the year :) Enjoy!!!

OCTOBER

OCTOBER was an interesting month. It was going pretty smoothly until the middle came and brought about the first round of lay offs for my company. All the sudden I was doing my job for the NW and NoCal...hence I disappeared :) Here are some pics of that month (there wasn't a lot going on...):

We went to a Hat Themed Party...this might have happened in Nov though. Eric caught me unexpected hence the look...

Eric relaxing after the party.

Watching the TV....

I had just successfully flipped the hat and landed it on my head.

Ok now here are the Halloween pics for the annual Halloween party at my boss Paula's:

Oh my gosh what happened?

Eric, are you ok??

Kylee, GOO! You look like Crap!!!

Whoa you two are a mess!!

Ok in the end though...

And now the more gruesome recreation for work on Halloween day!

Dude did you crash your car on the way to work?

Yeah but it's the end of the month so I have to be there. The ER can wait...

Totally GROSS!!!

A head wound and burns???

This is our HR director. He dressed as his posh HR coordinator Crysta....

This is Crysta dressed as Rick and Rick dressed as Crysta.

Crysta was able to walk like Rick with perfect form. And Rick was able to talk like Crysta, cell phone and all!!

Look how my hair blows...

Gayle is helping Rick touch up his lipstick...

This is Dean is IRONMAN. He MADE this costume from scratch. It was pretty awesome.

September

So since I have been totally slacking off I figured one post per month to get us caught up would be the best option. SEPTEMBER was good. We went to Bellingham to see Courtney and her beautiful daughter named Kylee, seen above. That is one of my favorite pics, I give you "Kylee Squared" Well that is what I named it :) I will put some more pics here in minute. We had a blast in Bellingham: We stayed at the resort for the company which I worked for at the time, went to a salmon bake off in old town Bellingham and partook in the fun-ness that accompanies a baby blessing. I got to sit next to Courtney and Alli at church that Sunday and it was like 3 part harmony when we sang. I loved it!!!! What else happened in September? I cannot remember much else happening. Eric did school and I did work. I think I had to go back up to Birch Bay for a one day business trip with my bosses and that was out of control. That's all I need to say about that. Ok now for pics and captions!!

This pic is of Alli with her hubs. Kind of fun picture huh?

Look at the beauty of the old town. Love the old buildings!

Baby Luke just chillin' with his peeps.

Daddy and son time.

Gummy bears up the nose...The best way to enjoy them!

The beauitful Mount Baker!

Dude what is that?

I don't know...let's throw something at it.

Ok I got this covered. Look at it go!

No I will get it...and scare small children and Alli while I throw.

Oh whoops....I think Eric will recover in a few minutes... :)

Kylee the social butterfly

What are you talking about man??

Such concentration!

Oh yeah, rocking out baby!

I kid you not this dog was just chillin' like this in the car as we walked by.

Oh how gross! A "cute" picture? What's that about???

The sisters were taking a pic of themselves so I took one of them too.

Eric thinking by the water...I think he was finding the best rock to skip

Kylee and her Grandpa Steve

Dude stop taking pictures of me

Again, I am alive, I PROMISE!!!

Wow so I keep waiting for things to settle to post and catch up everyone. It looks like this weekend will be my chance...THERE is a A LOT to post but I am still alive, doing well and loving this holiday season. I love you all, talk to you more soon!!!

Yes I am still alive

Hey there - Yes we are all still alive. Things have been picking up speed since Eric started school again last month. The primary program is in two weeks so I have ton to do to prep but loving life!!! I have it on my to do list to update the blog well this weekend: lots of posts and lots of pictures so stay tuned. Love to you all!!!!

Just pictures...Random pictures

I changed the picture of mom because Kimberly said it was not a good picture. Mom said she hated it. Thanks guys, I was just going for silliness!!

I know, I know

I posted this picture on the side of my blog but you cannot see their full cuteness. I present to you my nieces and nephews. L to R: Hailey, Ethan, Trent, Rachel, Elise & Seth. Aren't they all soooo adorable???

Shrek the Musical

WAS AMAZING!!! The sets, the costumes, the plot, the songs. I loved it all. I have Fiona's song "I Know It's today" stuck in my head all the time. It stuck to the movie about 90%, had some of the same funny lines, it was great. Lord Farquard was played by a 6 foot 4 man names Christopher Sieber. He did the whole show on his knees and totally stole the show. They had nods to Lion King and Wicked that just made you CRACK up laughing. I loved it and hope it does well on Broadway. If you are in the Seattle area, GO SEE IT before it leaves. I wish I was more descriptive but that's all I have.

The last thing I will say is that this was Eric's first experience with live theater. He loved it and wants me to get season tickets. It was that good!!
