Halloween Party #1

Rino and Geena Williams were rad enough to host their own Halloween party and invite us :) YAY! Geena made the most yummy Alfredo with Artichokes, of course I got the recipe.

We had a pumpkin painting contest and here are the contestants. (Our 'apple' didn't win, but I thought it was creative). The cracked-out Sponge Bob and the black with white ones won.

I'm not very good at taking unposed pictures.
Rino's mom was GREAT with Javin! He absolutely adored her, maybe it was all the candy and treats she fed him - that's what Grandmas do :) HAHA. Can you see Maddy in the background? Looking longingly? I think he needs a baby, just sayin'.
He looks like Santa
We won best costume, YAY! And Javin is wearing one of the prizes. Just a little big.

Spaghetti Night and a Perfectly Placed Apple

As you can tell, we like Spaghetti

and the camera.

and apples :)

Holiday Pictures

My friend Noelle was nice enough to take time out of her Saturday to come take pictures of my little family for the holidays. This is how it went:

Javin wasn't happy unless he was doing what he wanted and that didn't include taking pictures or holding hands. Thanks again Noelle, you did wonderfully!

APX Nitro Circus

Thanks to the Dilley's, Jaron, Javin and I got to go to the little event that APX was putting on for their employees. That's right! Nitro Circus - aka Travis Pastrana's crew. Other than 1/2 of Utah being there and not finding a seat it was AWESOME.

They jumped out of a helicopter and skydived into the 'stadium' (a football field with dirt on it).

Javin, Jaron and I - Javin was some what less than impressed and I look creepy (I can NEVER self-portrait well).

Major air!

Backflip!

It was really awesome, thanks again for thinking of us Vicente!

Too quiet for too long...

This is what is happening when he's too quiet for too long...

That's right - peaches. My mom brought us some peaches from her trees so I put them on the table. Bad idea. He pulled the table runner down until the peaches were within reaching distance.

But how can you be mad at this cute little face?

Enough August already...

August has been SO full, along with Jaron's birthday (11th) pretty much the rest of my family has birthdays in August: Ashley, niece (7th) Jenni, sister (13th) Brigham, brother (17th). Javin's is on September 1st, so it might as well be in August. See picture below, if you forget who Javin is (I know its been a while, I'm a terrible blogger).

Javin with one of his many girlfriends, Aurora Lewis, they're sharing a twilight swing (how romantic).



My best friend ever, Tara, just so happens to have some free time on her hands and likes to spend it with Javin and I. So, we took a hike up Donut Falls. It was GREAT and I really enjoyed myself, there's nothing like being outdoors with people who love you.

And last, but not least....we bought a duplex!! This lovely 1897 model comes complete with a non-insulated attic, a small pipe leak in the bathroom followed by a BIG pipe leak in the kitchen, a crumbling addition that the Historical Society won't let us tear down yet, creaky floors, a dungeon and Ronald McDonald paint. What have we gotten ourselves into?!! EKKK!!

But YAY! We're homeowners and have to be out of our apartment by the 26th.

Aunt Judy and Uncle Andy

My mom's sister, Judy, and her husband were it town from Louisana for a little bit and we all celebrated the holiday weekend together. We had a lovely BBQ at my sister's house in WVC and then we all made our way to the Spring Ballpark.



Javin LOVED Aunt Judy's sunvisor, he played with it for a solid 10 mintues (while on her head).

Then he moved down to Uncle Andy and had him doing "Ta-da!" for another 10 minutes. It was SO cute! Uncle Andy was such a good sport.

Javin was going strong late into the night, even through the fireworks. I think he liked them, but his facial expression never changed.

Happy 24th of July!!
