Why does this fun activity never turn out quite the way you imagine it. The kitchen's a mess, I'm in a bad mood, Shaun's teasing, Savannah's crying and in time-out most of the night, and Bo just sits back and watches all the CHAOS!
The most memorable and least fun we ever had carving pumpkins, was when Shaun gave Bo a screwdriver to poke his pumpkin - thinking it would be safer than a knife - and we ended up in the ER with that screwdriver stuck in Bo's eyeball - no joke! That evening ended around midnight, but all was well!

Great Halloween Books!
Each year - for the holidays I try to buy a book for the kids and I usually right a little message on the inside to make it special. The messages are fun to look back at and read later.
Below are the books for this year.
One of course for Bo and the other for Sav.
The "Can You See" book is a little creepy but cool for older kids. You have to find a list of hidden pics within each picture.
The second pic kind of gives me the creeps!
The "Witch Who Was Afraid of Witches" was soooo appropriate for Savannah, afterall, she is a Witch this year but seriously is afraid of others who are dressed like a Witch.
This book has a darling story-line and illustrations.

Oh my gosh - Whooo! Tai asked me to post the
4th pic in the 4th file folder
in my files on my computer.
Well, this was difficult because I had to go to the 4th pic,
within the 4th folder (Savannah_Hazen_2008),
within the 4th folder (2007_2008),
within the 4th folder (Framed_Professional_Photos).
This is what I ended with. It could have been worse, I'm glad it was a pic taken by someone who knew what they were doing. It's not the best Hazen pic but I'm crackin' up about that mischevious smile on her face.

Deer Hunt!
Warning: Some material may be too graphic for women viewers!
This deer hunt was the most pleasant weathered deer hunt we have been on in a long time. Shaun and Bo spent some quality time together. Bo hunts next year so it was necessary for Shaun to take the first buck they saw in order to teach him a thing or two about how to "Field Dress" a deer. . . or in our terms "Gut" a deer. Don't worry there are no pictures of that. Shaun also spent time teaching him how to saddle, tie up the horses, take care of your tack, etc. I think he just realized that Bo is growing up and there were some important things he needed to know.
When they returned that night, Bo said to me "Mom, do you know how much I love my dad?" That comment was proof that size doesn't matter (referring to antlers) and that just being father & son together in the outdoors is the most important.
This dog is asking for trouble!
This was one sad little girl, she didn't get near enough attention this weekend. Shaun is planning some kind of daddy/daughter date with her soon.

CORNBELLY'S
We had a great day today with all the Jacobson Cousins at Thanksgiving Point. It was such a warm beautiful Fall day, we didn't even need jackets. If you haven't been yet - you gotta go. They have the Scarecrow Festival at the South End and Cornbelly's at the North End. Lot's of fun things to do. I took so many cute pictures I had to post them all - sorry!
Savannah & Swayze as Farmer Jo & the Mrs. And Indy & Savannah dressed their very own princess scarecrow's.
Bo Cow Tipin' - with the Pumpkin Blaster & Corn Launcher - a MUST DO for all boys.
Savannah's Footlong Hot Dog!
Everybody, LOOK OUT! These two are back on a track again. . .and their competitiveness was still there. They were taking the corners on rails!
Savannah with the Pumpkin Princess - They also have Princess storytelling, but we missed it!
Yes - Bo on a motorcycle swing!
There is this "Wild Thing" monster that you can walk through. It is pitch black with scary noises. I thought it might be fun to take Indy & Savannah through it - big mistake! They screamed the entire way.
Cow Train, of course! Heather just had to go - it's her favorite.

Halloween Fun!
It was Party Time at my mom & dad's house on Saturday. They went to so much effort to throw a party for all the grandkids. They decorated the shop - went way overboard but it couldn't have been more fun. I hope they continue this every year
(hint, hint).
Witchy Poo & Skeleton Zombie! 
Bo had fun ScARinG everyone (including himself when he first looked in the mirror) and Savannah loved her fake
PuRPle GlitTEr EyeLaSHes.
Grandma Jake had stemware with EyeBaLLs set in red jell-o, WitChEs BreW with dried-ice, and more.
We bobbed for ApPleS and had a DoNUt-on-a-string eating contest, a cotton-ball relay and played musical gords.
Great Ideas, Great Party!
Thanks Mom & Dad!

Knock You Out!
With it being a rainy conference weekend, by Sunday night we were all getting a little restless.
The sad thing is . . . Shaun started it.
DEFEATED!
Shaun finally gave up - it was either that or he was really gonna get hurt.
Bo was holding nothing back.
It kind of scared me there for a minute.

High School
Did I date someone from my High School?
Yes, I had a couple of steady boyfriends - Jared Tanner, Nate Robb. But, when I dated others it was more of a group thing, on & off - Travis Tanner, Ben Drinkwater, Nick McCausland.
What kind of car did I drive?
Believe it or not, a Red Porsche 944. I had a special parking spot on a concrete slab that really wasn't a parking spot at all. I had so many parking tickets by graduation, they actually threatened that I wouldn't get my diploma. I only got the "Boot" once because I flirted with the guys that were on parking lot duty. It's amazing how many teenage girls you can squeeze in a Porsche. And, that Porsche ran over the foot of Holly Herbert (on purpose), I was so proud of that one (she soooo deserved it). My little sisters, yah you know who you are, liked to hide in the back while I hit the town - I'm sure they heard an ear full.
What is my most embarrassing moment in HS?
I was always so worried about what I looked like or what people thought of me - I never put my self in a situation where I could have been embarrassed. I guess I do have 1 - I was walking through the parking lot being my cool self with all my cool friends and Shaun (yes, my present husband, not a friend at the time) drove by in his big truck and started talking to me through a loud speaker mounted on his hood. All I remember thinking was "SHUT UP".
Was I a Party Animal?
Ha, Ha, Ha - LOL! I could hold my own - Let's leave it at that because my Grandpa reads my blog.
Was I a nerd?
I was actually photographed for the Year Book for my fashion sense. I was pretty well rounded - I hung with the cheerleader/FB players as well as the cool dudes that drove the big trucks.
Did I get suspended or expelled?
No - Freak, the more I think about that, I seriously can't believe it. I had great parents who would NOT let me get that far gone . . . and the principal was my mom's uncle.
Sing the fight song?
No, not quite. I only attended a hand full of HS sports because I was either at dance or chasing those boys with the big trucks.
Who were my favorite teachers?
Probably Mr. Downs, he seemed to understand me - that was difficult to do. He had patience for me which made me want to do better. Before he would close his classroom door for class to begin, he would come out in the hall and wait for me to round the corner, late as usual.
Where did I sit for lunch?
Driving me and all my friends to Walkers for a DC with lemonade and junk food. Needless to say, the Orem Police knew me quite well because I was usually speeding and I never had enough seat belts for everyone - but they liked me so I never got a ticket. Kinda funny that I ended up marrying the Chief's son later.
Mascot? OHS TIGERS! Roar for Orem High!
Homecoming & with who?
I went one year - with Paul Peterson, Football Player, Babe, Tall, Handsome, LOOSER! He hit on me pretty heavy in the back seat on the way there, I was pretty cold the rest of the night. (I think I may have seen him jogging down the road the other day)
What do I remember about graduation?
The fact that I was there - period! Miracle in itself. So serious! Me and my family spent hours making up credits by doing packets. I think my parents knew how critical it was that I get that diploma, so again, they wouldn't let me fail. I was a sluffer - BAD! If I was more than a few minutes late, I just wouldn't go in. There were many times I would end up skipping the whole day and heading out of town with some friends.
Have I gained weight since then?
Gained it, lost it, gained it again, lost it, gained some more, lost it, etc, etc. I really had a GREAT figure in HS. Big boobs, tiny waist. Sad to think about!
Prom Date?
Someone who Pam Curtis set me up with - I seriously don't even remember his name. I don't think he said two words the whole night (very shy). I should have gone with someone from my school.
My advice for myself?
Please, please, please go to school - just be in class. Try to pay attention, care about your future. Don't be such a bitch to your family. Date many guys without being afraid - just be yourself!
I TAG ELLERY!
