Trick or Treating it...

HALLOWEEN...wow, what a week! We had too much fun, too much candy, and too many pictures! It is always best to share fun times with family and that is what we did!

Trick or Treating at the hoSpiTal with dad...all the Nuns that live in the hospital passed out candy...it was cute! Morgan came with us and they were running through the halls!

Halloween Party at sChoOl...they had a costum parade! That's Savannah's best friend at school Ellie.

Trick or Treating in LoGaN with Ellie & Kyle...Vanny's very best friends! We had a great night...after our basketball game we went over to Chris & Lindsey's! It was fun to see thier little new home, eat bread bowls with soup, and just be together. Uncle Bob, Aunt Dani, Kris, and the "Greats" (Gourley's) came up for the game too!

Our neighborhood held a trunk or treat (which my sister Jessica put together). Savannah had fun trunking from car to car with her cousins...Morgan (Kelly Clarkson from American Idol) and Beau (Power Ranger).

Lucy Lu was a bird...I've always called her a BiRD because she sleeps with her little mouth open, perched like a bird...also because if you fed her something, she tilts her head up and opens like a little bird. She looked pretty cute...

(I said, what does a bad witch look like, this is the face she pulled off...)

Savannah had a blast dressing up like a witch...she has become obsessed with the Wizard of Oz! She luved her green face and green hair...people would ask "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" She would always say "BAD" with a smile on her face...see the clip below!!!

OLD Lady...

So this past week I played in some exhibition bAskeTBall games that my sister Emily put together...a group of ex- college players. We played Utah State, Weber, Idaho State, and Southern Utah. I was seriously like an old lady playing...I've never felt so old...and I've never popped Ibuprofen like it was my Halloween candy. I haven't played in about 2 years and unfortunately you could tell :). I also got the chance to see Cam's family up in Idaho when we played in Pocatello. I drove up with his brother Jordan and it was fun to catch up with him and spend time with the "Kesler Krew"! I had a great time playing in the games though...especially with my sisterS! It was fun playing against Lindsey who is currently playing on the Utah State team! Em did a great job putting it all together and I'm glad I could be apart of it. Basketball was (is) a huge part of my growing up and it brings back alot of great memories for me.

Savannah, Ellie, & Kyle went down at half time for the judging of the BEst Halloween costumes (this was Halloween nght). The crowd cheered for thier favorite...they all WON a Big Blue Aggie Bear!

The Temple.

I really love our stake here in D-town...they do so many amazing activites that really spand a variety of interests. This Saturday the Stake Cultural Arts committee had a program called "What the Temple means to me". They asked anyone to participate by song, music, art, poetry, etc. I really wanted to participate and since I was sure no one wanted to hear me sing, I took a little snapshot at the temple of my girls. I added a "Circle Poem" to it and I think it turned out pretty cute. I actually read my poem at the program that night (which took me back to the movie "She's All That" where they go to that weird poetry club...anyways). It was a good experience for me...I have loved poetry since Mrs. Harris's english class in 11th grade. So if you're interested...

Joseph Tsujimoto introduced the Circle Poem, in 1988 as a model to help expand and inspire poetry students. The idea of a circle poem starts with your title, which "triggers" the next word or phrase of your first line, which, in turn, "triggers" the next line, and so forth. The poem will end when your last word "circles" back to the beginning, approximating your title. Circle poems have no beginning, middle, or end. They start where you jump in, they end where you jump out. Their meaning often changes, depending on where you choose to start.

Do you ever?

Do YoU evEr?

1. Do you ever wish you could slam on your breaks when you are at a stoplight and someone honks at you and it has only been green for a milisecond?
2. Do you ever feel like you have a million things to do but then when you sit down and write a list you realize you really have nothing going on?
3. Do you ever laugh out loud at people who say they can give up Diet Coke? *I lasted 11 days.
4. Do you ever say things to people and then wish you hadn't said them at all?
5. Do you ever wish you knew what to say when someone says something that really bothered you...instead of letting it build inside like a majority of the femal race does?
6. Do you ever wish you could bottle up moments with your kids...look into thier eyes...and pray they remember how much you love them, how cool they think you are, and how your heart melts when they say you are thier best friend?
7. On the contrary...do you ever want to put your kids to sleep for the night at 2 in the afternoon?
8. Do you ever want to save the world...or think about humanitarian things you want to do?
9. Do you ever want to roll your eyes at your husband one minute and the next minute kiss him to death?
10. Do you ever feel down about your life or situation and then run into someone on an elevator and feel bad that you ever felt down about your life or your situation?
11. Do you ever want to get into a bathing suit and not care about jiggles here and there?
12. Do you ever wish your body (or more importantly your b**bs) would go back to normal after having a baby?
13. Do you ever wish you knew more about the stars and outter space?
14. Do you ever want to tell your friends and family how much they mean to you and truly know that they know?
15. Do you ever think that today could be your last day on earth?
16. Do you ever think to yourself, "Why, why would they cook fish in a hospital cafeteria?"
17. Do you ever get bugged by a situation and then literally minutes or hours later, realize it was a situation you were meant to be in?
18. Do you ever stop to think about the kind of person you are and the difference you are making?
19. Do you ever smell something weird in your car for days and after hours of searching find a nasty, milky sippy cup?
20. Do you ever want to smile and hug someone simply because they gave you the benefit of the doubt?

Do you ever look at a close-up picture your 3 year old took of you and think to yourself, "I really need to get my eyebrows waxed?"

WelL, dO Ya?

*Seriously, do ya cause if not the person who wrote this may

need to get back on her meds?*

When we grow-up...

I have been working a little up at St. Joe's hospital, where Cameron works. The other day we had our lunch breaks together and he took me up to the helicopter pad that is on top of the whole hospital. It has an awesome view of downtown!

I really love my job as a Labor & Delivery Nurse.

It's not always easy trying to balance everything with the girls but I feel really fortunate that I work in the area I do. I love working with families and I still get teary eyed at every delivery!!! I have been working alot with some ladies who are in pre-term labor (most of them with twins) at the hospital and some of them have been there for 20+ days and will be there til they deliver I don't know how they keep their sanity! It is fun to get to know them...they are fun, amazing, strong women. SO...I can't really recall WHEN I knew I wanted to be a nurse (most definalty by my senior year in high school) but I do remember that through middle school I kept telling my family I wanted to be:

A marine biologist and work in the BioSphere.

(google it and you will laugh out loud at me)

SO my question for you all is: What funny things did you think you wanted to do when you "grew-up" or is there anything else you want to be when you "grow-up"???

P.S. Notice the nets surrounding the outside...freaked me out a bit.
