pie pie pie

Yum pie! Davy of course went all out on his Black and Blue Peacharoo. I tried to cook with the kiddos this year. Allie helped me a lot on the pumpkin pie and both Will and Allie helped with the mint chocolate pie. The kids got a prize. What was most fun was eating Micah's pies-they were so good! Lucas also! Micah made a coconut cream that was SOOOO good. Of course Mom swept every category. But-she actually got recognized because Dad did the awards.

7 Year Anniversary

Seriously-last night was one of the THE MOST WONDERFUL NIGHTS EVER! Dreams came true again for me! I thought the MOTAB 2 years ago might have been my last magical night in about a decade or so-but I once again got to have a magical night. So David on a daily and weekly basis is not overly romantic-but every so often he busts out these HUGE suprises for me. The Rebel, the Bosh and now this.

He kind of arranged a sleep over for the kids at his Mom's house and made it look like she totally volunteered and wanted the kids over for the night while we went on a date. I thought this is great-we'll just call this our anniversary date.So all week I kept thinking of things we were going to do-temple, dinner, Christmas shopping because I knew he wouldn't even think about plans until we dropped the kids off. But that day he kept saying let's do something different tonight maybe we should go to this Myth Busters Exhibit. So I just let go of planning.

Well in the car I mentioned to him-again-that Micheal Buble was coming in town. We parked and he told me to pull out the tickets, I didn't even open them because I thought they were for the Mythbusters. But he kinda waited for me, I thought "wait is it Friday?" and then read the words "Micheal Buble". I had a hard time containing myself in public! Seriously SOOOO shocked! I never thought I would get to see him perform again!

3 words-NIGHT OF DREAMS! So super fun, loved every minute, Dave said I was giddy as a school girl. The seats were awesome, the show was awesome, I so loved having Davy with me. He sang all the great hits that needed to be sung and it was so fun!

Love my Davy, he knew just how to celebrate our anniversary, birthdays, and Christmas! What a lucky girl I am!

Halloween

This year we all had multiple costumes-one for every party I suppose. We actually went trick or treating this year, but I decided it's not worth it. The kids just get junked out on candy and it's not even that good of candy. Will started getting tired and Dave was the one wanting him to get as much candy as possible-probably for him to steal out of the kids bags. The Bodine Halloween party was a great time as usual. David was a celebrity with his homeade Minon costume. He began in the afternoon so I definitly was skeptical, but it turned out great. Strangers were stopping him to take a picture. It was really funny. And ofcourse all the little girls loved my Cinderella, I was adored. The kids we leopards, princesses, pirates, and an ADORABLE strawberry.

Pumpkin Carving

Why is it every year when we try to carve pumpkins with the family the kids never want to participate and just end up crying and fighting? True once again this year. But Dave and I had ended up with a few decent pumpkins for the doorstep.

At least this time the lack of clothes was on purpose, ya know pumpkin goo

Aunt Dixie

My Great Aunt Dixie recently passed away. Mom, Tyler, Kelli, and I took a day shot road trip to Snowflake to go to her funeral. It was a great day! Mom spoiled us, I saw my cousin Lauren and my Grandma. I even taught Grandma how to eat a cupcake. Gwen did a great job speaking at the funeral and overall the day was just peaceful and nice. I always felt Aunt Dixie was interested in us. She was a go getter and kind of spunky. My mom really loves her Aunt!
