The Freaks come out at night!

So we were invited to a Halloween party this past weekend, and were supposed to dress up as villians.  How'd we do?  

Our kids were going non-stop today, and it finally caught up with them.  This is what we came home to.  (I promise we do have beds for them).  

 

 

If this doesn't give the child nightmares I don't know what would.

PHOTO TAG

Well I thought I was done doing tags for a little bit.  But in attempt to show my little sister that I still do love her, I thought I would concede.  And plus it's kinda fun to see.  

So here it is Holly...my fourth picture from my fourth folder on my computer.  :)  

I have my folders set up by the years starting in 2002... I guess we as a family didn't exist before then.  

So this picture was taken February of 2005 while on our cruise to the Western Caribbean.  We went with some of Regan's siblings and friends.  We had a blast.  

Can you find us?  Hint...I am wearing a hat.  

What, Snow ??

We are so not ready for winter yet.  Tyson was not happy with me this morning when I made him wear his coat from last year.  Not that I blame him, that thing could not be comfortable.  

 

I guess I need to come to terms that as much as I would like him to stay small, he's not going to. It's physically impossible.

And for all of you family and friends who haven't seen snow yet this year, and probably won't unless you come visit, please just keep all your comments to yourself!  

Stupid Cat

Now I know some of you may look at our family and think to yourself, "Wow their clothes always look so nice and clean, and smell so fresh."  "I wonder what her laundry secrets are?"   Well today is your lucky day.  It's really quite simple....

So this morning I went down to get something out of the dryer, and surprise my cat has found a new bed.  He looked up at me with this look of  "What the hell do you want?"  Yes,  I have lost all control.

Come to think of it...I think my mother-in-law once killed a cat this way.  Hmmmm... I've got to go do some laundry!

I love the Fall

In attempts to help my color-blind husband see the changing leaves we went for a drive up the canyon.  He thought if he was up closer he could see the different colors, I'm not sure it helped, but I enjoyed it.  It was so beautiful. It made me very grateful for where we live. 

We thought we were just going to do the Alpine Loop, (start from American Fork canyon and end up coming out in Provo) but somehow took a wrong turn along the way and ended up in the back side of Midway.    

These pictures really don't do the scenery justice.  

Saturdays in the Fall:

I just wanted to quickly share with you how our Saturdays are being spent.  There's no sleeping in, no running errands, no cleaning the house.  Just sports, and more sports.  

Anyone want to play????

Soccer is usually first thing in the morning.  

This is Tyson's first year playing anything.  We were feeling a little guilty just making him watch his siblings play.

 On the other hand he was getting really good at his hand held video games! :)

Check out that form.  I think we got a natural.

Then we have Regan's football, ohh I mean Jack's.  This is his second year playing and Regan's second year of coaching.  I am not sure who really enjoys it more.  

And then we you think you've just about had enough football for the day, I've got this to compete with.  

And that's all I have to say about that.  Don't even get me started.  

I would just like to take this moment to thank Madison's coaches for giving us Saturdays off.  We'll take those those double-headers on Wednesday nights and practices on Mon. & Fri.  anyday.  

So you think you can dance????

Old Marinda- never watched the show, not a fan, and never thought about it twice.  

New Marinda (with a little help from my friends)-  love the show, huge fan, and now wish in my second life, to come back as a hip-hop dancer. 

So you think you can dance came to concert last night.  It was so fun to watch these dancers perform live.  They truly are amazing.  They make it look so easy.  So easy that even a bunch of 30+ year olds think they could possibly do it themselves.  

Anyway...Thanks for the fun night girls.  Regan and I will get practicing on our dance.  

Well in honor of SYTYCD, I have changed my playlist to play some of the music from some of my favorite dances of the season.  Enjoy.  Can you remember the dance that goes with the song?
