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!

Halloween Fun!

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!

Leaves Are Changing!
Last weekend we made the drive through the Alpine Loop. The Leaves were gorgeous. We may have been a few days early but still worth the drive. It had just rained and smelled just like Pine & Sage Brush. It reminded Bo of hunting but Savannah just kept asking "how much longer?"
It got me in the MOOD for
Autumn & Halloween!
It's right around the corner.
Can't Wait!
Somehow we ended up in Park City for dinner at
Baja Cantina!
Deelish fajita sticks and chimis. This place reminds me so much of my
Uncle Tom
who passed away a couple years ago. His last name was Georgelas - rhymes with GORGEOUS (perfect description). We used to spend a lot of time with his family at their condo in Deer Valley, skiing & eating. Dinner was usually his treat. This great man whisked me away for a summer in Europe when I was headed down the wrong path and taught me a lot about what I could have in life if I straightened up. He lived his life to the fullest and took such good care of himself - hence, the pics below. I have so many fond memories of him.
In Remembrance -What a man!

Daddy's Gone-A-Hunting
Shaun has a deer tag for this special
BIG BUCK area!
Opening morning was Monday - so off he went to do his thing - along with the Gillman boys, Bridger Dain, Colby & Dad.
Bo was stoked because he had these high hopes of
bagging the "Big One".
Well. . .no such luck! The men all hiked until they could hike no more - Bo was just getting started (wussey's).
The terrain is incredibly difficult -
"All the more reason to go there", Shaun would say.
The majority of the group came home with Bambi - or should I say Bambi's dad.
Shaun and Bo plan to return very soon before the hunt comes to an end to fulfill their manly duties and bring home some meat for the family.
