Yea for Fall !!

One of my favorite times of the year is now! FALL! I love this season! It's like the beginning of all the fun....of the holidays! I love, love, LOVE Halloween! I love the decorations, the haunted houses, and the scary movies. We are such movie lovers, so now I get to see some of my favorite movies, that I saved just for Halloween....Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow" is a must see, also love "Underworld" (1 and 2), it is one of the coolest Vampire vs. werewolf movies ever! Some more must sees are Van Helsen, Signs, and teen witch (when I was little, I watched this one every Halloween). Its only the middle of September...and I have already put up my decorations....I couldn't wait! I actually wanted to put them up like a week ago, but Ryan told me I should wait....so I lasted a week before I went crazy. For some reason, decorations make me so happy, I just feel like it makes my home feel so warm and welcoming....I enjoy just being home, with my love, watching a movie together. But of course, we have to go to Haunted houses....it wouldn't be Halloween time if we didn't do that! We have been pretty busy working on our house, so many projects to do....and not enough time and money to do it all at once! We have to do it little by little.... I hate that, we have some many ideas...I am not patient enough...I want to do them all now! But our latest project is our yard. When we bought our house, the yard was all full of ugly, annoying weeds. So Ryan dug up all the weeds and tilled it, so now we can plant grass for next year....or maybe we could get some sod and have grass right away! That would be exciting....I really do miss grass.

This is our Kitchen, it isn't super big....but it works well for us....we do have plans tho....to add more counter space and cupboards. But see...I got some cute Halloween stuff up! I am so excited to show it off....see, see!

The dinning room....



The living room....one of my favorite places to be! Okay, there's half of my house...with all the fun decorations! Yea...for the holidays...it is such a fun time of year!

Beach Bums


I love the beach, I really think that I could sit around and sun bathe all day long. Pine view isn't the best beach around, but it's the closest and we always seen to have fun there! My brother has a boat and I get to practice my wake boarding skills.....I'm not so good yet, but practice makes perfect, right! I can't believe summer is almost over, but I am looking forward to the change, I love the fall too. One thing I love about Utah is the seasons, I love the changes, each season has it's own feeling that I love. It has been a very fun summer!


haha! I look so funny! I have to really concentrate on not falling down!

True Twilighers!

Okay, I know I am the biggest dork! But I love this book, like so many others! My sister and I got bored on Sunday and decided to take some Twilight pictures! We took a bunch, and like always, I can never pick just a couple, I posted all my favorites! I have been taking my time reading the last and final book Breaking Dawn in the Twilight saga, so far I love it. I have been savoring it, cause its the last book and when it's done....its done! Then I will have to find another book to read. At least there is only a few months till the movie comes out! Yeah!

If you look closer, we got topaz eyes! You don't have to remind me how dorky I am, I already know! I can't help it!
Look! We got cool book marks too!

BYU Church History Tour




We had so much fun on our vacation! We went on a 10 day tour and saw alot of LDS church history sites. We first went to Palmyra, New York and saw the sacred grove! That was my favorite day! We also saw the Hill Cumorah, the Palmyra Temple and Niagara falls there. Then we went to Kirtland, Ohio and saw the Kirtland Temple and the many of the saints farms, like the Morley farm and John Johnson's farm. Then we Flew to Missouri and saw Mark Twain's (Tom Sawyer) boyhood town, went to Nauvoo (I love Nauvoo). We got to go to the Nauvoo Temple, and that is now one of my most favorites! We saw Carthage Jail and Liberty Jail too. It was cool to see both temple lots in Far West and Independence. We took over 600 pictures, it was so hard to pick between them, but these ones are some of my favorites. We had planned and saved for this vacation for almost two years, and it was worth every penny.
