Halloween!!!

Thanks to the Fronks, Halloween was great this year!! Katie and Blake hosted an awesome party, and we had so much fun! Unfortunately for Dan and I, we were lame this year and put off finding a costume until literally 20 minutes before the party. (whoops!) Luckilly my mom had the infamous bucket of old halloween costumes that she had aquired over the years, so we were able to throw something together...

So as you can see... I am a witch and Dan is a dead viking! Dan ended up losing the mask on the way to Katies, and became a live viking. Apparently that wasn't so clear, however, because on the way into the house a kid shouted, "Look, he's a deer!" Obviously, my manly viking was quite offended by getting mistaken for a graceful deer, but we got through it. :)

Everyone had great costumes, especially Jeff and Linnea! They made the wolf costume, aren't they amazing? Here are some pics from the party:

The boys:

(gotta love the pumpkin!)

The great themed treats! Props to Katie and Blake!

October Fun!

October has been a fun month for us. We've been in California for the past two years, so we have been so excited to get to enjoy fall this season! (Although it's a lot shorter than I remember... and we're NOT looking forward to winter! YUCK!) Dan and I decided to have celebrate halloween early with our own little pumpkin party. We carved some pumpkins, and treated ourselves to some amazing kneaders pumpkin pie.
Here is Dan's haunted tree:
And here is my oh so scary kitty:

Yeah, we're pretty talented! :)

Also, remember how I mentioned I LOST my dang wedding ring? (Yeah I know.. super sad. I try to pretend it never happened!) So really, I pretended that it never happend for so long that I had no wedding ring on for months. Recently, I came to terms with the loss and we decided that it was time I moved on. So we went to Dillards and... ta-da!

I'm married again! :) 20 bucks got us this fabulous ring. This picture doesn't really do it justice, but I have had more compliments on this ring (from strangers) than I ever had on my old ring! Sheesh! Maybe we should have got this cheap one in the first place!

Here are a few more pictures from this month. Dan and I have got back in the habit of having a date night every Friday, and it has been great! We fell out of the habit when we moved back to Utah because things just got so crazy busy, so it's SO nice to get to look forward to spending time with my wonderful hubby every week!

Ok... one more picture. We took this from our front porch on our way out for a date last week- Isn't is beautiful? We have the best view from our front porch, and we get to see the most amazing sunsets! We are so blessed! :)
