halloween party

i love the halloween party we have every year -and this year the johnsons side came to which made it even more fun because i had both sides of my family around for the fun-

well every year we do it and we always dress up- and give out prizes- and have dinner, donuts on a string-check out the slide show the pictures are so funny-i love the one of my cousin michael just eating the string- and then we play bunko for prizes -it is a lot of fun

this year we had three categories for prizes- the scariest, funniest, and best

my mom had the scariest, tom was the funniest, and then madelyn and olivia won the best overall-but everyone dressed up great this year

I will see if i can get everyone starting on the top left -uncle jim as dilbert - aunt jean as wendy, as in the fast food- tanner as the eighties kid, you have to love the pants with the fanny pack - chelsea as the hawaiian babe - tom as mose, from the office, he looked just like him, it was weird - melissa as darby- and she is holding olivia who is obviously Pooh - Alex as some sort of log person i think - ben was the headless man - i was a princess - holding gracie who was a dragon - layne a football player, his wife bobbisue a cheerleader - ely as a pretty good looking pregnant batman - naomi as a football player - bob as the referee -

next row - brooklyn as a witch - mom as some freaky looking spider lady, she had this huge spider crawling over her back - kaylee as super kaylee - madelyn as tigger - breanna as a cheerleader - amare as a witch - and then the two lying on the grass - rachel as a baby and jacob as spider man -

then in the slides you can see mel and mitch who came a little late- mel was an elephant, addy as a tiger and mitch as a zoo keeper, which i didn't think was much of a costume for him because he kind of runs a type of zoo at home - hahaha

and then the two not pictured because they were taking the pictures - michael as peter parker :) and then my dad as himself - which probably could have won the scariest costume if it were allowed -just kidding dad - i love you

i like to move it move it

anyhow here is an update on my exercise program-well i am on week 4 and i am up to 36 minutes of cardio for five days a week and then one day a week double that -which was a hour and 12 minutes-which i thought i might die towards the end; however, i did prevail yahh :) -plus the three days a week of weight lifting and stomach exercises everyday -anyhow so far so good i have been keeping up and doing it pretty consistently-i did slack off a little on the stomach workout last week but i am trying to be better this week- all i have to say is the end result had better be worth it hahahah-because i am putting some sweat into this :)

-sorry this song was stuck in my head and seemed appropriate for the title of my post-so now i will pass this song along to you in hopes that it will go from my head to yours hahaha

all dressed up

I asked gracie to go take off her pajamas and get dressed one morning and so she disappeared for a while but the boys were over, i watch my friend kims two boys some mornings when she is in school, anyhow the boys were over and so even though it had been a while since i had heard from her-which usually means something disasterous is going on-i was distracted and so i didn't notice anyhow a while later this is how she came out dressed- underware, one glove, a hat and a necklace-gotta love it -anyhow i couldn't help but laugh at her choice of clothing and take a picture

anyhow because i took a picture of gracie uriah and gabe wanted there picture taken as well so i lined them all up -anyhow this picture makes me laugh-at least their mom can handle getting them dressed-for all concerned grandparents- i did however, add some more clothing articles to gracies body before we went outside or shopping hahaha

Gracie loves having the boys over to play with her in the morning anyhow lately their new thing to do is throw all of the couch coushions on the floor and then make flying leaps from the couch onto the floor -it makes me laugh especially when they are not careful and collide with each other and then just get up and do it again-no tears or anything hahah

i just loved this picture of uriah it was so stinkin cute

scrapbook stuff

As my sister requested -for the broadcast our stake had us bring a talent and these are some pictures of what i brought- i got this idea from her because she had done some for addys room and i thought they were so cute i decided to try doing it for gracies room

And then i just brought one of my scrapbooks-here are a few pages from them -hope you like them :)-you might recognize the pictures because they are my favorites-ribbions have been my favorite accessory lately if you can't already tell
