Toy Story Halloween

A big THANK YOU goes out to Janika Dillon for helping me make the costumes...except for Gabe's (his was an E-bay special).
Do you think we look similar?

Quite a few posts....you ready?

So, every time I take a picture, it's pretty much for blogging reasons instead of just taking the picture to take it. So, here are some random pictures I'm speaking of.
The first is of John's dinner plate. John is very particular about how his food is put together. In this case, it's taco salad. He didn't want to just drizzle the chili on top of his plate, so, instead he filled each individual scoop chip with just the right amount of chili. Now, you're probably thinking that he is so picky and that it would be hard to cook for someone like that. Actually no, he isn't picky and he never expects me to prepare his food in his particular way. For example, when he makes a sandwich he has specific rules (there has to be cheese on top and on bottom of the meat, mayonnaise on every square inch of the bread). So, even though he is very particular about his food, he never expects anyone else to follow his rules of preparation. On this particular night of having taco salad, I laughed and ran to get the camera, he just smiled and said... "it tastes better this way!".


Eli had is first oreo the other day. HE LOVED IT!!! His face was so cute when he saw me put that chocolatey cookie on his plate. Gabe loved his cookie too, just not as much as Eli...can you tell?



Can you tell what Gabe made out of his waffle? I was super impressed! He loves to make animal shapes out of his food.


Last but not least....
The two kiddos posing for a picture.
Gabe loves to dress up but we don't have many things to "dress" up in. Until, one day I was going through some drawers and I found a costume John wore for a family reunion party. Gabe was thrilled about being a pirate!

Eli is posing in his Halloween jammies. He says "Thank you Grandma Brady for the soft, warm jammas!

Wow...so funny I can't stand it!

As I was posting that last post, I found a video I had taken over three years ago.
John and I were head of activities committee in our married student ward at BYU-I. As a huge committee, we did a ton of stuff together, including watching Napolean Dynamite...way too many times. So, for part of an activity we got the husbands to do a little dance... Look familiar to any of you Napolean fans? I think John is the only one who can keep beat. They all look hilarious and John might not like that I'm posting this...ha ha ha...too bad he never looks at this blog!
Just watch!!!

Post, Post, Post!!!!

Yesterday I was told by three different people that I needed to update my blog....OKAY! okay! leave me alone!! Here I go!
So, on Monday, we went to a Celtic Thunder concert. John's friend from school got tickets from her dad for her birthday. Her brother didn't want to go so we got to go! It was so much fun to go to a fun concert...at times very funny and cheesy, but for the most part, well worth it!
Here are some 15 sec. videos of the performance. They are probably really hard to see and hear...a well, you get the gist.
