Wild Things

A few weeks ago I got to help one of the coolest kids ever celebrate his 4th birthday!! My cousin Kandi wanted to have a jungle themed birthday party for her son Jayden and she asked if I would help her. I was SO excited that she asked {mostly just because I like spending time with her} and started to think of fun things we could do!

Kandi had the idea to have everyone wear animal masks!! It was awesome!!

I got the be the zebra!!

There were also lots and lots and LOTS of balloons!!



But I think my favorite thing might have been our snake cake!!

Isn't he so cute!! I love the way he turned out!!! Kandi and I make and awesome cupcake decorating team!!

And just look at Jayden's face in the next picture!! Love it!!

Flash Back Friday

For Halloween this year I decided to be a gypsy!! I already had everything I needed for the costume and after some fabric dye and some VERY blue hands {I almost had to be a Smurf..... or an Avatar instead} this is what I came up with!!

 We got to dress up at work and it was fun to wear something so out of the ordinary for the day!! One of my co-workers brought me a magic 8 ball so that I could be a fortune telling gypsy for the day!!!

That night I went to a Halloween dance with a group of friends!!

I think this guys costume was my favorite!!!

Which Team Were You?

Yes.....

I am a Twilight fan!

Yes.....

I went and saw it at midnight!

But....

I also saw it at 6:30 on Thursday night with my best cousin EVER Kandi!

So.....

I saw it twice in a six hour time period!!

We ate crepes!!

Just like we did when we saw Eclipse!

And had Chin Wah for dinner!!

I have some of the best memories ever of going to

this awesome Chinese restaurant with my cousin!!

{P.S. if you wore anything other than a Team Edward shirt that night....

You are on the WRONG team!!!}

We also got to wear awesome VIP badges thanks to

Kandi!!

We only have one picture of the two of us together from

that whole night!! It was taken right before the midnight

show started!! I thought about posting it.....

But we both look slightly {okay.... more like completely}

crazy, so......

That picture will never see the light of day!!

THANKS for going with me Kandi!!! I always

have SO much fun hanging out with you!!!

Only 343 days until we get to do it all over again!! 

It's So Fluffy I'm Gonna Die!

At the end of October we got an email from our landlord saying he was giving us an early Christmas present.... replacing our carpet!! I was very excited about this because the current floor coverings were looking pretty sad! The only downside to new carpet is that you have to move absolutely everything out of your room.

We are extremely lucky though and have an awesome ward and a bunch of guys came over on Friday night and helped us move all of our big furniture out into our living room.

Our living room was full!! As in overflowing!! We had to stick stuff in the kitchen!!

After the guys left we got out our cameras and had some fun with the self timers!!

The weirdest part was sleeping on nothing but my mattress in the middle of my empty room!!

But it was totally worth it because we now have fantastic, new, fluffy, soft carpet!! We love it!!

We also REALLY appreciate the group of guys {including our brand new bishop} who gave up their Saturday night to help us move all our stuff back into our rooms!!!

Poor People

Three Quote Wall Monday's in a row? That's a new record of slacking for me!! I have so many things to blog about and I just haven't had the time {or truth be told, motivation} to sit down and do it!! But, I'm determined to finish the year off well so look for lots of blog posts this month!! 


As for today....
I give you the poor man's movie night! Complete with surround sound!!!

A few weeks ago my roommate and I wanted to watch a movie together {Get Smart} but we don't have a t.v. in our living room. I have one in my room but...... It would be kind of weird with us both sitting on my bed trying to watch a movie! 

So we got out my laptop and put it on a chair! We used one of our side tables as our spinach dip and artichoke dip holder!! The only problem was the sound wasn't that great! The solution was to hook up my roommates speakers to my computer. They were originally sitting in between us on the couch but they were kind of in the way. So we shoved one behind us giving us awesome poor people surround sound! It was perfect!! I'm seriously looking forward to our next movie night!!
