I put a spell on you... and now you're mine!

Ohh Halloween. You've finally come and now you're almost gone. The Domans came to visit this weekend.... and it was definitely the most laid back Halloween I've ever had. We probably watched over 23 hours of television. But it was still lots of fun! This morning we made Jack O Lantern Pancakes with Green Sludge Syrup to end the Halloween holiday season. Jake wouldn't eat the green sludge because he's a baby like that...

Aww Hail...

What a night! Yesterday Courtney (my sister in law) Missy (her friend) and Kenzie (her other friend) headed to Salt Lake to see the one and only Ingrid Michaelson in concert. We got there at five and didn't get "in the venue" until 7:30! It was hailing and raining and snowing and we were frozen. I was not a happy camper. So it's a good thing Ingrid sounds amazing live or else it would've been a complete waste of a night off. But it wasn't, she was truly incredible, her voice and lyrics just pull on your heart strings and you leave feeling like you just left therapy.

Baby if I got you, I don't need a parachute...

So we finally painted pumpkins last night, and boy was it a party! I attempted to make a glitter pumpkin, but as always I got way too ahead of myself and it ended up looking like glitter vomit. Hopefully my next pumpkin will look better.

This is where I'll be tonight...!

And as you can see, we're pretty ciked about it.

sealings

We experienced something quite amazing this weekend. Jake and I were able to attend my uncle and aunt's temple sealing. I am always so grateful to witness sealings, it brings me back to the day we got married and the spirit I felt there. What made it even better was the three little children that were sealed to them. Seeing them enter the room, dressed in white, melted my heart instantly. I am so grateful for a church that allows us to spend eternity with our families.

Family Photos

What a craaazy weekend... Friday we left for Idaho Falls for a less than 24 hour visit. We got there, took some fabulous family photos, ate dinner, made pumpkin crumble, watched hocus pocus, play pit with the domans. watched Kendall play some basketball, and ate smittys! Major props to Michelle Wirick for taking these. She's pretty much a pro.

 Awwww

 Silly Chillins

This is Halloween

I looveee Halloween. So it's been a rather blog free week, I guess I didn't feel like I had much to blog about. Or maybe I was too lazy...? Anyway, we went to Draper this weekend for Fall Break. Gotta love having a day off of school. We had a blast shopping at Target, going out to eat, peeing our pants at the haunted forest and planning/executing the most fabulous Kearns Family Halloween Party. We had plenty of soup, appetizers, homemade donuts, and the most delicious caramel apple bar! Brinley, our two year old cousin, had a blast carving her very first pumpkin, and trying on all the many colors of vampire teeth. I would say it was a very successful party. Props to Baby Kearns for the awesome decor, and all my shishters (no "l") for the fun fun day.

What is your favorite Christmas tradition?

Every year all of us chillins would make a blanket fort upstairs and sleep in it Christmas Eve. Nothing like falling asleep on the floor, watching The Christmas Story... 

What is your favorite way to relieve anger/frustration?

I love bubble baths... sadly I can't really have them, due to the lack of warm water here, so I resort to watching Keeping up with the Kardashians and eating ice cream.

Hmm... I did love Inception. Enough to see it twice, which probably never happens.

desperate

Well, just as I suspected, when it's not my birthday... life is lame. Maybe it's because Jacob left me Sunday and I'm starting to get real lonely/lazy. At least he passed all of his physical exams and is one step closer to pilot training. I just don't understand why he had to fly all the way to Texas to do it. Air Force... will you fix that please?

So it's probably just having him gone that makes me so moody, but lately I've been really bugged with my acne. Why? 1. I'm 22 freaking years old, too old to be dealing with crap on my face. 2. I went through hell on Accutane last year and now I feel like it was all for nothing. Who knew that quitting a couple months early would lead to this. Forgive me for being scared about having cone-headed babies! Oh, and it made me a monster. Seriously bipolar.

The point of this... if anyone has any ideas for different medicines or treatments I could try for this stuck-in-puberty face of mine, I would really appreciate it. Because I'm near tears and I can't go back to the pill of death, doom, and destruction. I just can't.

Come home Jake.  

Lagoooon

Frightmares = SO much fun. And... SO unexpected. When I left Logan on Saturday I thought I was going to Target and spending the day at the Kearns house... That was until we took an unexpected exit off the freeway towards Lagoon. At first I was really mad because we were suppose to be going in a couple weeks with my family, so after Jake started to fear for his life, he explained that my family was inside waiting for me, along with my besties. I was shocked that Jake pulled off yet another surprise... and this one was huge! He is such a great husband. We had a great time riding Wicked (and forcing Kendall to join us), eating gallons of tiny ice cream beads, soaking my jeans on Rattlesnake Rapids (horrible and uncomforable), and watching my hypnotized husband hug and sniff a complete stranger. Here are some photos from the day...

Velcome to Frightmares!

this is my favorite ride and my favorite people

this is my favorite treat, Dippin Dots.

There are also Haunted Prisons...

with Zombie guards...

and interesting decor

there's rides named after strange creatures...

and a hypnotist show where Jake was turned into a famous gibberish rapping gangster...

long awaited family time

cute and wimpy younger siblings

Sky Coaster dare devils

and life long besties

A special thank you to my fabulous family and friends who drove all the way here to surprise me this weekend. I am so spoiled. 

I knew it!

What a weekend! Jacob was full of surprises... I mean, I was hoping it would feel like my birthday all weekend long but had no idea it was going to be this much fun. Friday I came home from class to find mysterious food on the counter top. I immediately asked who's it was, and saw Jake's eyes widen. I knew something was up. But I casually just sat down and waited... eventually he told me to go check the extra bedroom and what did I find...?  My two best friends! It was a wonderful surprise. We all went to Firehouse and the football game, which was a shocker to say the least. It was the first time we've beat BYU in football in the last 17 years! I left the stadium with mixed feelings, wanting to be happy for my school but feeling bad for my husband who is a big cougar fan. Ohh football. 

It was jam packed to say the least.

bored.

How our boys felt about the score board. 

Burfday

You know... why can't everyday be my birthday? All the facebook postings... the presents, the excuses to skip class and eat/buy whatever I want... Normals days just seem lame now. But I'm making the most of it :) Here's the one picture from my birthday, a lovely moment in which I destroyed an obnoxious scene painting project. What a great gift.  Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
