party, part duex

Look at how cool the party food was.....

Halloween shaped sandwiches:

"Monster" veggie tray:

"spooktacular" brownies:

Can you believe these cake pops? AMAZING. She even had ones with jack'o'lantern faces!

And last but not least, thank you to the Dayton's for the toilet paper!

Happy Halloween!

party, part uno

We had a little Halloween party for some neighborhood friends. Greg was in charge of making our costumes this year, and we all went as "trons". Auburn says "tron" in the same voice/sound as the "droid" recording. Hilarious. "Auburn, what are you going to be for Halloween?" "troooooooown!"

Jeff, Kelly and Nash in their primeval getup

The Berky's loved our "mummy wrap" activity.

The Westenskow's were all decked out....the boys even wore eye-liner!

Brad is such a nice husband. Cynthia was telling me how she needed some toilet paper.

It's amazing how high Liem can reach!

Hayden the, bed bug, bites again!

And that's all folks! Thank you to the Mitsuda's for rounding us out!

Baby Blessing

Ruby will be blessed at church soon.  Should I take some tips from the Cassbaughs?

let's fly

I read an interesting article about Ryanair that I thought I would share.

The thing that intrigues me the most is the "stand room only" tickets. GENIUS. Plus, if you watch any sci-fi you would know that standing while flying is the future. I do want to know more about the safety protocol requirements. As a child I always wondered why the flight attendants could walk around and I had to be buckled in during the early stages of landing. One time I even saw a flight attendant never sit down during landing. I can make up reason now as to why I think it's smart to be sitting in a seat, but none of those reasons would preclude standing room on a plane. Especially if their is a buckle (I'm thinking car seat with out a bottom) anchored down. Now that's stylin!

I'm excited to see the changes. I am hopeful that it will result in lower airfares for all. That way Dad can stand in the back and I can sit in the expensive seat with the baby. Yeay!

Lunch Date

We went out on a lunch date - and left BOTH girls at home with a babysitter! Look at how good our food looks....
I got two fish tacos; one was shrimp with pineapple salsa, and the other was salmon with mango salsa. They were some of the best fish tacos I've had. They did need some salt - which doesn't happen often with mexican food!

Isn't he handsome?

If you come visit us in gilbert, we will take you out to Tia Rosas!

Mom's Visit

Man! I have been neglecting to post this picture for a LOOOONG time now! Sorry about that Mom.

I'm excited for when my Mom will be here next (in three month's!) and we can try again. By then I might even fit into my regular old jeans!!! :)

Halloween Costume Preview

I liked Tron.  What can I say?  (Auburn's and the rest soon to come.)

And yes... the costume was laid on a sleeping baby for these pictures.

TWO

Auburn is TWO years old

and Ruby is TWO month's old.

I am so in love with these girls!

big girl room #1

We have started the "big girl" room. We got a day bed, and stenciled one of the walls with a dark pink color. Greg searched long and hard to find this daybed- hooray for craigslist! We love it.

the best one

updated family picture

I wanted to take a family picture that included Ruby for a while, and it was waaaay stressful. We came away with over 10 bloopers, and one good one. To build anticipation for the good one, I thought I would post all the bloopers first. And yes, I spelled "bloopers" like "bloppers" at first. I would like to thank google chrome for their spell check, and the english language for having a word like "bloopers" in it's dictionary.

(Jess: "put your hand down!"

Greg: "look at the camera!"

Jess: "smile!"

Greg: "smile!")

my favorite pictures of myself are when I'm talking

Lunch Date

We had lots of fun going to eat with Daddy at work on Monday. We packed our lunch, saw all of his work friends, and ate in his lunch room. Auburn drew a picture that Dad hung up in his office.

cupcakes

I miss eating. Cupcakes are one of the things I can't have. Milk, Peanut-butter, cheese, anything I want to eat, chocolate.....all are out right now. In lieu of my pain, I thought I would bring this tasty information to your eyes. (PS-it's not a lose-the-baby-weight diet, it's a Ruby-has-colic-I-am-tired diet)

(thanks Utah loves cupcakes)

Ballad to Gressica 2.0

General Conference Activities

Jess has an activity associated with each of the apostles. When Auburn sees the person speak, she gets to do the activity! Sounds fun to me!
