Halloween

This Halloween was a lot of fun! My sister-n-law Michelle had a little party with the family. We made carmel apples, watched a scary movie and had some yummy pizza.

David dressed up as Luigi..

John just looked like a zombie or something gross... haha

On actual Halloween day I did my mother-n-laws make up! It looked so real. She is a school nurse and she said all the kids thought it was real and really creepy! I think she had a lot of fun with it.

I just did some fun make up..

We had a pumpkin contest at work again and finally this year I won!! Got me some movie tickets! I did the three little green alien toys from Toy Story. All the little kids new exactly what they were.

John painted his pumpkin as an infinite Mario game. The old classic Mario! I think he did a really good job!

We also carved pumpkins with some friends. Mine is the cat and John's is of course the jeep!

Mini Pizza Dinner

Tonight me and John experimented on a new thing for dinner.. They are kind of like mini pizza's. They were so good! As soon as John ate the last one he said he wanted more.

All we did was take Pillsbury crescents rolls put whatever topping we wanted, rolled them up and cooked them according to the package of the rolls.

Her are all the toppings we put in our mini pizzas. Each roll is a little different.

-sausage

-ham (deli)

-mushroom

-olives

-onion

-cheese

In the time it took John to cut all that cheese and..... stack it.. I cut everything else. haha

We could have put spaghetti sauce in it but I think it would have been really messy to roll them up. I was thinking of using it for dipping sauce but we forgot to get it out. We used ranch instead.
It was a fun dinner to make together and super delicious!! Well definitely make this a regular meal at our house!!

Mission Reunion

This last weekend we had a mission reunion for my President and Sister Smith part of my mission. I had some great memories with them and loved seeing them again! It really feels like being with family when I'm with them. Here are a few pictures of some wonderful people from my mission.

In this picture is President and Sister Smith and some of my favorite sisters including some companions.

Sister Smith (my other mother)

President Smith (mi papi)

I love the reaction on their faces when Gaby jumped in the picture. Please ignore the face I'm making, yuck!

Elder Colton and Elder Merchant (it's still to weird to use their first names..) They were in my MTC district. Best district ever!! They are like brothers to me.

Me and Gaby De Alba. We were companions for 9 months in two different areas!

I love them!

I love mission reunions! I didn't get to say hi to everyone I wanted to, there was so much going on it seemed. They had a contest for the best Texan. And there was an announcement that Elder Lusk is engaged to Garnet Smith!! Wahoo!!

Welcome to the world!

My little sister Kaitlyn and her husband Brandon had their first baby. Zeign Ray Haggard was born March 28 at 4:44am. He was 5 lbs 13oz and 18in. And he makes grandbaby #6!

Here's Grandma with baby Zeign.

Zeign came into the word with a few obstacles. He was born about two weeks early. They induced Kaitlyn but a little further into labor she had a placental abruption. And they immediately did a C-section. In the process the doctor nicked his forehead when cutting Kaitlyn and found the cord was around his neck. They kept him in the NICU for a couple of days to watch him and make sure everything was ok before going home.

This is a picture of Zeign in the NICU. The bandaid on his forehead is the cut.

A plastic surgeon came in and glued the sore shut you can't even see the cut it's now just a little puffy. And his hair will cover scaring if there is any.

It looks like he's saying "Rock on!"

I just love him! He looks so much like Brandon but has Kaitlyn's coloring and big lips! Haha Isn't he just the cutest!

We can't really have pets in our apartment but we can have fishies! So we got a fish tank! The fish are soon to come. And of course if we are going to decorate it in any way it's going to be like Moab and a Jeep! John loves it! Even though we don't fish in it yet I keep catching him just starring at it. It's so cute!

The jeep even has a snorkel! If only it was red.. ;)

My parents guppies had like 30 babies so we are so going to take some and I'll post some pictures when we do!

Something I'm Grateful For.. LOVE :)

Norah loves John! John loves Norah! We were babysitting Norah the other night and Norah just couldn't get enough of John. She was laughing at every little thing he was doing and if he giggled just a little this is what happens..



Cutest thing ever!! If you can't tell because the picture is a little blurry John is only smiling at her and it was making her laugh so hard!! haha This is one of my new favorite pictures! I love them!

I saw on a blog that every Sunday she posted something she is grateful for. I thought that was a great idea except I'm going to try and post it Mondays instead. So that's what I'm grateful for that my family loves my husband and my husband loves them especially the kids! He would do anything for any of those sweet and crazy critters!

I'm at it again.. This last saturday I pulled out my sewing machine. I haven't had the time to work on my list of projects for a while. But I'm finally able to check one off my list. I made a cute red curtain for my little kitchen window. It really lights up the room. Every thing is white, the cabinets are white the counter top is white and the floor is white.
What do you think?...



Next on my list:

• Pillow cases
• Shower curtain
• Grocery Bag Case
• Tree & Peddle throws

Pictures to come..
