AWESOME!

So, Friday after work, my AWESOME husband came home with a gift. Not flowers, not chocolates, but the 3rd season of The Office on DVD. So, that's how I spent my weekend. Oh man, this show cracks me up! Haha, my favorite was when Jim convinces Dwight that Jim is a vampire. Haha!

A Public Service Announcement

Want to know how I got this huge burn on my arm? A cool story would be that I saved a lady from a burning building. However, that is not my story. Notice the cascades of barrel curls in my hair in the picture. This is the result of an unpleasant encounter with a curling iron. A VERY unpleasant encounter. Please for the sake of all upper arms, be cautious while curling.

'Nuf Said. :(

Crawling??

No, he's not really crawling already. He's doing this weird thing where he can spin himself in a full circle. It's actually really funny. I guess it's pre-crawling. When he gets mad, he goes really fast. Poor baby is frustrated and spinning himself in circles and mommy is laughing her bum off. That's comedy. Has anyone else's baby ever done this? I just haven't heard of it before. I know some babies rock or scoot, or even flail, anyone else have a spinning baby?

Speaking of Remodeling...

Here is what my living room looks like now. I know I said I would post pictures clear back at the beginning of October, but isn't this close enough? Oh, and try to ignore the Halloween candy I was snacking on. The evidence is on the couch.

I've been working on a new look for the blog. What do you think? Want to change your own blog? I discovered this blog www.sjhblogdesign.blogspot.com (her name is Suzanne) and she gives really easy to follow directions on how personalize your blog. I used paper that I found on shabbyprincess.com. I love how it turned out, but I'm working on fixing my title. :) Go ahead and have fun with your blog!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great day. It started out at the MTC saying our final goodbyes to Chrissy. Oh, a funny story really quick. We were waiting outside the chapel. We sat on these benches as a mom, dad and a young Elder started looking around for someone to take a picture for them. My MIL announced to them that "Ashley should do it, she's a photographer." She is SO sweet for thinking that I am a true photographer, but I honestly am not. I never really thought of myself that way, but I timidly stepped up to do it. The lady handed me her camera and it was the biggest most confusing contraption I've ever seen. The thing had a zoom lens on it that was at least a foot in length. I managed to snap a quick photo for them. Then, she asked me to zoom in and get a closeup. Uh, err, hmm.... I bashfully asked her where the zoom was and she said you just twist the lens. OH! Of course! You just twist the lens! So, obviously I am NOT a photographer. I only wish I was. I am looking into taking some classes and hopefully, someday my MIL will be right!

Okay, but back to Halloween. Cannon was a lion! ROAAARRRR! Well, actually he was a lion for approximately 5 minutes and 42 seconds. He was annoyed that we put him in his outfit to put it nicely. We wanted to take him trick-or-treating and everything, but our attempts were in vain. He was awfully cute for those few minutes he let us parade him around in his outfit. maybe next year he'll last 10 minutes. I'm writing that on our long-term goal sheet.

Here are some pictures while he was tolerating his giddy parents gawking at his misery...

Called to Serve

Crissy & Cannon

Cannon is truly his father's son. He wanted some "All Meat" pizza too.

Jarom, Chrissy, Cannon, Me

Chrissy and BYU friends

We had dinner with Chrissy and the Becar crew at Brick Oven the night before she went in to the MTC. First of all, YUM! Second of all, sad! We will miss Chrissy a lot. She is so much fun and always keeps things entertaining. Of course, we were late to the MTC, so I didn't get any pictures of her with her name tag or anything like that. Hopefully I'll get some from the in-laws and I'll post them when we get them. The MTC was bittersweet. We know she'll be a great missionary and Uruguay won't know how lucky they are to have her.
