Halloween has come and gone...and so did fall?

What is up with this weather? I seriously just had to switch back to the AC in my house! Did fall come and go with Halloween? hmmm... I am definately in Utah. lol.

Halloween was fun. The kids dressed up as a pirate: And a cute little lady bug:

Hayden ended up going with his friend Cody so me and Suzi went trick or treating to our old ward's neighborhood since we were in Hurricane. I got to see most of my Hurricane friends, even just for a second, it was great to see them! Then me and Suzi handed out treats and Gramma Suzi's and hung out there until Hayden was done at his party then we came home. The kids had a pretty good time I think, and I enjoyed it as well.

Hope everyone else had a safe and happy Halloween as well! We sure did!

Playing catch up...

So much has happened and I have really blogged about anything major lately. We were pretty busy this summer. The most exciting part was that we were finally sealed to Hayden! Bryan and I were married in the temple and Suzi was born under the covenant, but now Hayden has been sealed to our family forever! After that we went on a little family vacation with Bryan's parents and brother up to Salt Lake. We went to Hogle Zoo, Temple Square, Chuck E Cheese, Toys R Us, and Thanksgiving Point to the Dinosaur Museum. The kids loved it and we had a great time!

School has started and Hayden is in 5th grade. It's kinna cool cuz he is going to the same school for 5th grade that I did, different teacher though. Our new house is barely a block away from school and sometimes if we're lucky, me and Suzi can see him on the playground from our deck.

Hayden's school is started and I'm coming to the ending of getting my Associates in Accounting. I will be finished on November 7...However...starting December 1 I will be moving on to my Bachlors in Business, with an emphasis in Human Resource Management.

I haven't really done much creatively in awhile...I've been busy. However, my turn is coming up on the Pebbles Inc blog so be watching for that! Every week we have challenges, inspiration and tips from some amazing and wonderful DT members. So if you're looking for some mojo you should check it out: www.pebblesinc.blogspot.com

Designs By Leah @ Funky Playground Designs

When I applied for the PEbbles Inc. team, I thought I'd apply for Leah's Creative Team as well. It's a digi/hybrid team and I have been wanting to get into the digi more so I gave it a shot. I didn't make the team but I did make guest designer for July. Her kit Cherry Pie is just amazing. I love the color combos and thought it would look great with some tulip pictures I have of Miss Suzi. So here is my layout using this awesome kit. And while you're checking out this kit, be sure to check out the rest of her kits, she's one amazing designer!

So.....Some big news!!

Most of you already know...I MADE THE PEBBLES INC DESIGN TEAM! I am so freakin excited. I have always been a huge fan of their products and now I am on their design team! I am so thrilled and honored to have been chosen. Ever since I discovered online stores, message boards and Design Teams I have been watching Pebbles, just hoping someday they would have a call so I could apply and that day has come and I am so extremely filled with joy!!! Thank you Lindsay, Brenda and everyone else at Pebbles Inc for giving me this great opportunity!
