Welcome to my new home...

I decided to make a few changes with regard to the blog, (some of which are still in the works) and a new URL needed to be one of them. So sorry if this has messed up your Google-reader or other RSS feed. This year I plan to be much more consistent when it comes to blogging so please do visit often!

Halloween

For Halloween I dressed up as Rosie the Riveter for our church party and to teach ballet class. At the party every senior man (age 65+) knew exacly who I was, however everyone else asked me if I was Lucy.

Since Eric went as Johnny Apple Seed he thought it would be really funny to give me a sharpie tattoo with a heart and Johnny's name. However, sharpie tattoos don't come off as easily as one would think though I did not realize this until I was teaching Primary the next day and one of my kids asked what was on my arm, whoops!.

 Johnny in all his apple seed goodness!

Way back in August

Back in August we took a trip to Utah and Idaho to visit family and celebrate my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary. While I intended to get these pictures up back in September, I got a bit over whelmed with school and  lots of things slipped through the cracks--so here are a few pictures from the big day.

We used vintage inspired materials to decorate the tables and hung enlarged old photos of my grandparents, Bob & Gwen. 

My mother and I got a little carried away and bought a ton of white Chinese lanterns, which Eric and my Uncle Dan had to hang up in about 15 min since the morning of we had major down poor and we were not able to set up until right before the party started. 

We even had a beautiful cake, which made it all the way from the bakery on my bothers lap in perfect shape despite a near head on collision, only to have one of my cousins lean against it right before the party. Though you can't see that from the perfect picture.

The oldie-weds even cut the cake!

They said that this would count as their wedding cake since they eloped to Elkco, NV way back in 1946 and never had a real wedding cake.

 My grandparents have lived nearly all of their married lives in Swan Lake, Idaho and after the family luncheon we held and open-house for the whole town and surrounding areas (to which my grandmother said no one would come) -- nearly a 100 people showed up! Bob and Gwen are definitely loved.

 Grams and Me

My cousins, Lisa and Amy, and of course me -- out of 13 grandchildren we are the only 3 girls.

The happy couple!

It was so fun to celebrate their wedding anniversary, I have such a wonderful extend family and it is all because these two fabulous and fun people. I have with out a doubt the best Grandparents!
