I made him a rock climbing birthday cake! It was super fun to make and he was very surprised when he saw what I'd put together....
Jeffy, I look forward to making you ridiculous cakes for the rest of your life. :)

Thanksgiving dinner with my family was last night and with Jeff's family tonight! We had great food last night and great company. We hosted it at our house and I was surprised we were able to get everyone to fit comfortably! It was so good to have the whole family together! We all missed Emily though.
On another note, my sister Lynsey gave birth to my 2nd nephew on Monday! He's so cute and it was so fun to have him here for Thanksgiving! WELCOME TO THE FAMILY BABY TREY!

11.11.11 and such!
So for Veteran's Day (11.11.11! woo hooo!) Jeff and I went to a concert in honor of veterans. It was a wonderful concert! Great music by choirs and the army band and heartbreaking/inspiring stories. My roommate Alex's girlfriend Taylor performed in the choir and did a great job! It felt good to celebrate, remember, and support those who fight for our freedom.
Saturday, we went to dinner with my sister, Staci and Jeff's family at California Pizza Kitchen! They have such good food and even better service. :)
Sunday, Jeff woke me up to a house on fire!! Ahhh!
Ha ha, no. Just kidding. It was a fire, but it was contained in our fireplace. Got you!
Seriously though, it was soooo cozy! I sat by the fire and did crafts for Christmas gifts and Jeff did his homework. Oh, happy day!

2 in a Row!
That's 2 fun weekends!
We started the weekend with such a fun night at Brad and Leah's house! We played Wii and had a fun time just chatting and cracking up! They are so funny - we were laughing all night! It was our first little get-together with them and we will definitely have to do it again!
Saturday was Jeff's Grandma Jan's 80th Birthday Celebration so we helped set up and celebrate with the family! And then we headed over to his other grandparents house to visit one last time before they are gone in Arizona for the winter. We had the most delicious homemade apple pie (with homegrown apples) with homemade ice cream. Soooo good! And I absolutely love Jeff's grandparents. They remind me so much of Jeff and I [hopefully] in 60 years. They are always laughing.
Sunday we had lunch with my cousin Sean and his fiance Amy at a great vegetarian restaurant, Vertical Diner. Delicious food and great conversation! Sunday is our housework day so we always do laundry and grocery shopping and whatever else needs to be done. We were so done with running around that we decided to order Chinese take-out instead of grocery shop [good alternative, I'd say]. We found the GREATEST little place! Red Ginger. Sooo good. It is a Chinese Bistro and Sushi Bar. They have $5.00 sushi rolls, but they are HALF OFF. $2.50 sushi rolls?! What the what!? It was such a delicious splurge and we only had to spend $30 for 4 sushi rolls, lo mein, and eel teriyaki combo. It fed us both for dinner and lunch the next day - gotta love that!
aaaaaand... Monday [it counts because it was Halloween!]
My cutest niece and nephew came over along with my sister Lynsey and her husband Rob. My dad came over as well and took Nate and Brynn trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. Sean and Amy also stopped by for a minute. I made some pumpkin muffins to share - Yummy!
I hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween weekend!
P.S. - what's with 16 year olds trick-or-treating? They should AT LEAST dress up and and scream "trick-or-treat" if they're going to take all of my Dots out of the bowl, right??

Fun Weekend and Sweetness :)
Friday night, we invited some friends over for a fire in the backyard. Jeff has been wanting to put the fire pit to use for a while now so this was a big deal. ;) Good company, good food, and a cozy fire. Doesn't get much better than that!
On Saturday, we went to my sister Lynsey's "Baby Celebration." It was a fun get-together with family and friends to celebrate the upcoming arrival of my nephew, Trey! :)
I helped with the decorations and the food and had such a fun time! I love babies and am so excited to meet baby Trey!
After the "Baby Celebration", we ventured out to Ogden to go to a Halloween party at Jeff's brother, Stephen's house. Jeff was so excited to FINALLY shave his facial hair into the long awaited handlebars!! Jeff dressed up as his dad for Halloween. Ha ha! It turned out so funny! I was laughing all night watching Jeff swing his long hair around.
We had so much fun! :)
I left the party for a bit to watch my sister Hailey perform in her performance group, Aerial Amore. They are so talented and beautiful performers! They are performing at the Castle of Chaos for Halloween and have an AWESOME show and always have a full audience. [you should go watch them...so worth it]
Also, I must say: I have been so sick this weekend. Just crummy. All this excitement was not helping me get any better. Sunday morning, I wake up and Jeff says, "Go back to sleep. You need your rest." In the meantime... Jeff is doing laundry, cleaning the house, vacuuming and goes to Starbucks to get me a nice hot bowl of my favorite oatmeal. He brings me breakfast in bed and medicine. Is he not the sweetest!?
Oh and might I add that he rented Bridesmaids for me and even watched it with me that night. It is a hilarious movie and I loved ending my weekend cozied up on the couch with Jeffy.

#1 Petsitters!
For the next couple of weeks Jeff and I are going to be the best petsitters ever!
We are watching my brother James' sugar glider, Clark. This picture isn't Clark but it is a sugar glider. :) CUTE stuff!
Annnnd... we are also dogsitting for our roommate while he is out! :) Oakley the pitbull.
Sugar Gliders require lots of bonding time; don't fret, I am snuggling him right now!
