New Orleans!

Craig and his brother Ryan had a orthodontic meeting in New Orleans this last week. I was able to go along and so was Ryan's fiance Brittany. Everything was planned and paid for us, and we were treated like royalty! We ate at the nicest restaurants I have ever been to in my life! I know I had to gain at least 5 lbs....we ate so much! We saw some of the devastation of hurricane Katrina, it still looks like it could have happened last week, so sad! Bourbon street was an eye full...its worse than Vegas! Also it is the most dangerous city in America and has more murders and theft then anywhere else. SCARY! While Craig and Ryan were in meetings Brittany and I caught a cab and went off exploring on our own (not very smart)! We thought we were safe because it was mid day, but we were wrong, lots of scary things!!! Over all it was a great trip and we had a blast!

Big money on Bourbon street!

Look at that crab leg!

Thanksgiving!

Craig and I were able to spend Thanksgiving in New Mexico with his family. All of his siblings were there together and it was such a great time! We had a beautiful meal with lots of food, conversation and love!

We LOVE games and a Young family favorite is "Scumbucket"! Every time we get together we play this! Goofy but I love it!

I have pictures from our fun white elephant exchange.... but I can't upload them so maybe I will try later!

Twilight!!!

I went to the midnight showing of Twilight with some friends! LOVED it!!! Go see it tonight!

The Award Goes to....Me!

I made this in Photoshop for myself! I know, I know, I am a dork, but come on haven't you ever wanted to give yourself an award for the many things you do? So this is not only for me its for all of us that... close doors and cupboards we didn't open, vacuum crumbs we didn't make, wash dishes that we didn't use, wash and iron cloths that we don't own, make amazing dinners day after day, pay all the bills, stay within a budget and not by the amazing shoes that are on sale, and all the other things we do daily.....and never complain:)! This is for us!!!

Malloween!!!

This year for Halloween Craig sponsored "Malloween". There was a great turn out and we had so much fun seeing all the kids dressed up!

               Craig and I showing off the EmBraced Orthodontic shirts!

We spent hours and hours stuffing 2500 bottles! Bottles filled my house they were in my dining room, living room and office!
  This is what we gave out to all the trick or treaters. I think everything turned out cute!
My cute hubby! Craig was a costume judge, and he was so worried about it because he didn't want to hurt any feelings! He wanted everyone to win! 
  Me and the Roby girls! Thanks girls we could not have done it with out ya!!!

YES on 102!

I can't believe that this is actually on the ballott! Today the church asked us to go pass out flyers to all of the homes in our neighborhood. I was kind of nervous because the sign in our yard got ripped up by our next door neighbors, however it always feels good to do what you KNOW is right! Please get educated and VOTE!

Fall Time!!!

I have decided to try the bloggin' world again!  So... here is the first post of a new goal! This last weekend we took a quick trip to Utah. I wanted to go home to visit because I miss Utah fall weather! However, when I got there I didn't miss it after all:) It was freezing!!! We had so much fun and we were able to do lots, and as always it was sad to leave! 

Black Island Farm Corn Maze!

We were having WAY too much fun with the "CORNFUSED" sign!
