Real Quick

We had a Halloween Potluck at work this week...



I got this recipe from Mer! I just added the bloodiness... ;)  It's broken pretzel sticks, a mixture of PB, pwd sugar, butter, and vanilla. Then the nails are slices of almond. i just put some red food coloring on a qtip and dabbed it onto the ends...hehe.



I got this one off line. Sorry about the crappy pics. I was in a hurry and didn't pull out the camera til I had already put plastic wrap on.   This is just a mini watermelon--carve off the green skin with a potato peeler and then carve it! 

They were both a hit (we had the Doctors at work vote for several categories) and I won two of the categories! (brain- most creative and fingers-spookiest) so I got halloween dish towels and play dough! yessss. major score.

New with us...





*Bryce is coming up with new business ideas every week but has come up with one that he's pretty sure will work amazingly well and give him way more time to to go school. So we're hoping with that he'll be able to quit his towing job...at least the day time part of his job to do his business idea! Yay!
*Bryce had is first Solo Flight last week!!! It was a total surprise. We weren't expecting it but during one school session his instructor got out and let him go. He had an amazing time and is so excited about progressing and being able to fly a HELICOPTER all by himself ;) He's amazing.


*I'm loving Visiting Teaching and I'm getting so excited about getting to know each of them better! And I love my visiting teachers who are so dedicated and amazing! 
*We bought a 65 lb pumpkin from the Farmer's Market (after Mom bought a 76 lb one when she was here last week! :) but I have No idea where to put it. It's now just sitting on our little coffee table....I'm a little worried it's gonna break it! haha
*I keep having Really weird dreams. Like last night for example: ... dreamt I was pregnant but I got to see like...a video of the egg and the sperm.... awkward. hahaha!! and then I had to reach into my throat and move my tonsils so they wouldn't hurt the baby.... weird. hahah!
*We're FINALLY figuring out what we have to do to be able to say prayers morning, night and be able to read scriptures every morning. We've been struggling with it all since we got married and have Finally come up with a way that is sticking! I'm so so very grateful. It's making a world of a difference in our relationship. man...the gospel is true!!! :)
*ALSO!!!! I've realized that None of Bryce's family history has been done yet for his dad's side! You have no idea how excited I am! There's so much to do! I talked to Bryce's mom, Lori and she said I could get started whenever and do whatever. So I'm just gonna be talking to her about what I'm doing and it's going to be awesome! I hopped on to Family Search today and tried to figure things out...let's just say I'll be paying several visits to the family history couple in our ward to help me out!
*Along with Bryce's awesome business ideas, he's been buying cheap cars, fixing them and selling them for pretty good profits...for example: he bought a 2002 Ford Taurus that was wrecked in the front for $80!!!! He sold it for... DRUM ROLLLLLLLLLLLLL....... $2,000! Talk about paying off debts! Yay!
*We now have health Insurance so we're back to trying for a baby. :) In case I haven't mentioned it, we tried for a baby from Nov. to Aug. and took a break while we figured out Insurance and so now we're just hoping it'll happen soon. 
But in the mean time I'm loving work and Bryce is loving school and making alot of progress and we're learning more and more about how to communicate better and love each other more. Can't go wrong with that right?

So that's what is new with us! Just lots of randomness. :) I need to take more pictures so I have more that are relevant to what I write about! :)
