I ran in a relay marathon with some of our really good friends. I was the fourth leg of the relay and only had to do a couple miles. I got to run around Belle Isle which was sooo pretty and I had a blast. The relay started in downtown Detroit and went around the City and ended back in the Downtown Area. There were thousands and thousands of people. It was sooo crazy but I am so glad I did it. Will was able to go to the checkpoint with me and we hung out for a couple hours waiting for the other runners to tag me so I could run. When we finished running they gave out goodie bags full of healthy treats and had a party. Normally I am a chicken and get super scared being in Downtown Detroit but not that day...I felt soooo safe and everyone had sooo much fun. Thanks to Ollie and Julia for gettin me involved!!

Me runnin at the starting line...P.S. it was only 29 degrees!!!!!

So we made it a point to get some good ol' Sagebrush Cafe food one day for FHE. So this is officially the biggest burrito and taco salad we've ever eaten and they are Delicious!!!! YUMMY!! Anyone who comes and visits us....u will get some yummy Mexican food.

And of course...I had to make sugar cookies for Halloween. I made about 5 batches of cookies...I was icing cookies for hours and hours and hours but it was worth it. I also found a new icing recipe that uses whipping cream and its super yummy!

Will's Tall Boy(Monster Energy Drink) Pumpkin

Our Pumpkins....The "S" pumpkin is for Flat Stanley(he is a friend of Nixan's that she sent to us to stay with us for a couple weeks so we thought we had better include him in the pumpkin carving!!)



October is such an awesome month. We both love the leaves changing colors and the weather cooling off a bit. I also love love love Halloween. This month seemed to fly by but we sure did make lots of fun memories and had so much fun w/ great friends.

Happy Halloweeeeeeeen!!!

So I officially have been such a blog slacker lately but for good reason...we have had some major computer issues and I have not been able to get my pics uploaded BUT it's finally working again and now I can get back at it. So yesterday was Halloween and we had such a great day. Ne one who knows me at all knows I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! I love dressing up and making goodies and seeing all the kiddos in their costumes and handing out candy. So this year I made about 200 sugar cookies and a whole bunch of popcorn balls to hand out. Will n I went to a trunk or treat our ward and another ward put on Friday night but we didnt' recognize ne one so we decided not to stay. Needless to say I was pretty bummed not to hand out my goodies. On Halloween day Will woke up early and put up our blowup scary guy outside our door and got our battery powered candles lit up in the pumpkins. I spend the day making sure I had everything for my costume and getting caught up on stuff while Will went with Vaughn to Brandt's house and "geeked" on computers...his words not mine. Ne ways Will went and got pizza for dinner and I got in my costume while he was gone....I have been so excited to dress up this year. I love Twilight and I really wanted to be a character from the books. I decided the easiest one for me to be would be Rosalie when they are playing baseball. I tried the best I could to make all the little details pretty similar to what she wore in the movie. The Jacksons came by and Tyson looked cute as superman and Taryn was a little lamb.....so cute!!!!! Then we had a couple other kids come by and trick or treat but not near enough to get rid of our load of goodies. So we went over to the Lee's and dropped off a whole load of cookies and carmel popcorn balls. Their kids were sooo hyper it was cute. They were having such a fun time and they all stayed in their costumes so we could see them all dressed up. We came home ate some goodies and then watched the world series....too bad NY won!!!! We had a really great day and Will even promised me that he would dress up every other year!!!!
