Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! We carved our pumpkins tonight..well I carved one and Jared carved two.

Jared was trying to figure out the flash on our camera so I could take a picture outside in the dark.

7 Random Facts about Me!

I got tagged twice for this one..so here you go-

1. My middle name is Brooke...when I was little my nickname from my Dad was "BrookerT".

2. I have really weird feet. I had surgery on both of my feet at different times and was on crutches for 8 weeks both times! It was not fun!

3. Every job I have had (well besides one) has been working with kids. My first job was for Clearfield City after graduation in their summer program, I worked at Out-N-About which was an Afterschool prgram, at Antelope for the Afterschool Program, for North Star Academy and now the Ranches Academy..guess I just love working with kids.

4. I never got asked to a dance in High school..I asked to every dance I ever attended!

5. I was in Pep Club my sophomore year..I guess it was a wantabe cheerleader, I had a great time with my friends though and we got in free to every single game!

6. The first guy that ever kissed me was Jared, which I guess goes along with the never been asked out in High school.

7. I love Holidays..doesn't matter which one it is, I just love to decorate for them, which I think drives my husband nuts!

***I will tag...Krista, Kae, Andrea, Kristin,Jen,Amber,and Becca. Have fun!

4 years!

I can't believe we have been married 4 years..some days it feels like forever and some days it feels like we just started out. I for one love being married..I hope Jared does too. I know some days marriage is hard but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love you Jared! Happy Anniversary!

Today was nothing like it was on our wedding day..it rained ALOT that day, but the rain didn't start until after our pictures were taken, as you can see by the sky! It was still a great day!

GNO and Family Birthday party

For our Girls Night this month we went to brand spankin new Olive Garden in American Fork. It was about a 45 minute wait for 12 of us but the food was so worth it. We went over to Paradise Bakery to wait out the time and just chatted. Or as I should say I listen to all the girls chat. I wonder if they think I don't talk! I talk a little bit but not as much as I should. I will work on that I promise! We had a great time..it is just fun to go out for a night.


The next night I went up to my Mom's house for the Sept/Oct/Nov birthday party. We had some great Taco Soup that my Mom made and her fabulous sugar cookies. I also got the present for my Birthday that I have been waiting a month for...a Food dehydrator! I am not sure that I will be able to make all the awesome looking food shown in this picture but I sure will try!

Halloween Funnies

I like Halloween..don't really know why because it is nothing special, I can't go trick or treating anymore to get candy but I like it just the same!

Fall Break

This year for Fall Break I went with my sister Krista, Trent my Brother-In-Law and their two kids Treyton and Braelyn to visit my Dad and Step Mom Deb in Mesquite. We left on Thursday afternoon and came back today. It was a fun weekend adventure! We were able to see my cousin Anaika that lives in St. George going to school and my Uncle and Aunt that moved down to St. George a year ago. We had a fun time going to the park and out to dinner with them. I think it was a fun weekend away..but I am glad to be home, and I have one more day until school starts back..I think that will be spent doing laundry and cleaning the bathrooms! Fun Stuff! Thanks Dad and Deb for letting us stay and Thanks Krista & Trent for letting me come along! I had a great time. Of course I forgot my camera..I even checked the batteries before we left and we off without it!

Just wanted to add an update on our stop and waste mess. Jared along with Clint our neighbor dug out the hole to get to the thing like 6 feet under ground. Jared's Dad got back into town at just the right time to fix the problem. It was a quite a scene in our front yard. I can't believe how much dirt came out of the hole.





Tomorrow begins Fall break for the school. I am excited to go with my sister Krista and her family to my Dad's house in Mesquite for a few days. Jared has to work so he is staying home once again. Hopefully it will be a fun weekend.

October snow!

This is what we woke up to on an October morning..I did say October! I was wondering this morning if we fast forwarded to the middle of November! The weather this year has just been crazy. Later this week we will be back into the high 60's. We had to turn on our furnace and we got the fireplace all ready to go. I guess I should go and pull out my pretty flowers..I am not sure how well they do in the freezing cold..and as you can see they got a good covering of snow.

Anyone for a free handbag? Handbag Planet is a new website, on the day of their launch they are giving away a free handbag every hour for 24 hours. Go to this website to register and hopefully you will win a free bag! I love free stuff don't you?

If it isn't one thing than it is another. I tell you maybe being a homeowner isn't always very fun. Yesterday we had a flooding problem in our front yard. Jared thought it was a sprinkler pipe that had broken, as it turns out it is the Stop and Waste which is like 6 feet underground..which means Jared is going to have to dig out all of the dirt to get to it. The good thing for us is we could turn it off just were it meets the sprinklers so we still have water to our house..otherwise we would be living at Jared's parents for the next week, because we would have no water to our house!
We are getting tired of all the problems we have had in the yard. A few of our neighbors have had the same problem so luckily our neighbor is willing to help Jared fix the problem since he has fixed his before!
All is can say is "What were they thinking when they put the sprinkler system in?"-I think they just got it done as fast as they could without taking the time to do it right and now we have to go back and fix all of the problems..oh what fun!
