they did the monster mash

We had our first ever Halloween party Saturday night.

I spent the entire day preparing because I am a procrastinator and 

have no concept of time management. 

It's a miracle I graduated from college. 

It's probably because I'm terrified of failure. 

ANYWAY... we had a fantastic time and some great costumes. 

Halloween is quickly becoming my favorite holiday. 

Happy Halloween!

Flashback Friday

Yeesh. Can't believe this was five/six years ago. 

It's been five years since I've worn a costume on Halloween! 

That's ridiculous.

Well we're changing it up this year. 

Going all out with a party and costumes. 

check back for pictures! 

T-1 Domination

So proud of these two boys.

Both Jake and our friend Charlton passed their check rides

with a Excellent overall grade. The highest!

 They pretty much dominated the T-1. 

It should be all downhill from here... which is good

because we definitely need a break from the maddening stress that's

been hanging over our heads for the past two weeks.

Thanks for all of your prayers and support!

 

One Year

in case you missed it...

Oh what I would give to relive this trip...

It was so much fun!

Thanks for all of your kind words, Jake passed his precheck and 

has his checkride flight set up for tomorrow!

We're so close...

Air Force Gangnam Style

Every class, before they graduate, makes a video to show at assignment night.

Most of them are pretty lame and very cheesy, but this one...

pretty impressive. 

guess who's in charge of our class video... Jake.

so who's going to end up making it? Courtney.

Oh boy.

Rough week. 

Jake's at a really taxing part of his training

and his future plane pretty much rides on this flight coming up.

Ugh. We can't wait to get it over with!

Luckily I have a Halloween party to distract me and

hopefully boost my productivity. Which has been at an all time low. 

Keep us in your prayers :)

1. Family cuddle session.

2. An Oklahoma sunset.

3. Luke's Birthday Party! 

4. Autumn leaves with our Sunbeams.

When Autumn Comes...

Oklahoma's Autumn definitely doesn't compare to that of Utah, 

but I'm trying to make the most of it. 

I think autumn is beautiful no matter where you live.

Except for maybe some parts of Russia.

I sure do miss those Saturday mornings in Logan Canyon.

If you're there please buy some bagels 

and hot chocolate and enjoy the colors for me.

Sigh...

sorry mom.

actually, no I'm not.

Flasback Friday

That weirdo with the mustache? 

Yeah, that's me. 

I had a tomboy phase...

Have a good and spooky weekend!

It's been a nutty few days. 

Hence the lack of blogging. 

 We played mom and dad over the weekend

to some cute kittens from our ward. 

Then I was American Idol obsessed preparing for round two auditions

(which means I made it through round one, I just couldn't tell you,

 in fact...I still don't think I can, but frankly I don't care:))

Tuesday, my friend Melissa and I were up at the crack of dawn driving down to the city for it

and after a few hours of useless production set ups and camera shots, I had a fifteen second audition 

that ended with a, "you have a good voice but you're not what we're looking for"

...and just like that, I was done. Lame, right?

Mainly I was just pissed I wasted so much time preparing for such a short audition, 

after that wore off I started feeling rejected, which is normal.

I sort of wish I would've flipped them off and ran out yelling, "I'm A Star!" 

Buuut I didn't. So I ran around Target yelling it instead.

Over all it was a fun experience that brought me out of my Enid sulking shell.

I met some fun people that did make it through, so I'm excited to see them on the T V. 

Who knows, maybe you'll see my pasty face in the corner of the dance scenes... so cool right?

A special thanks to Melissa and my family/friends for their support!

1.The way to a five year old's heart...

 crayons, Strawberry Shortcake, and a fluffy puppy.

2. Pumpkin Painting with Coop.

3-4. Late night dance parties!

5. Waiting for my impending doom. At least it was pretty...

6. Terrified and ready to go!

7. How to deal with rejection. Target, Olive Garden, 

and Pumpkin Spice Krispie Kremes. Yum!
8. Recovering with Reagers! She helps brighten up any day.
