Halloween!

This year, we jumpstarted our halloween celebrating a week early with a party at my sister's house. She is seriously amazing at designing a theme and making it something spectacular. Just look at the table scape, and it pretty much says it all:

Hmm, yeah it still doesn't say it all because all of the treats even had cute little names. For example, witch cauldron dip with bat wings= blue tortilla chips and dip. Petrified Eyeballs= Meat balls with green olives. I just can't say enough how great she is. Jerrick and I were a little lame with the costumes, we were bikers and tried with the accessories, but everyone else looked a little more in theme. We had a lot of fun with the wii that night. Things got pretty competitive! I think I remember bellowing LEFT repeatedly trying to help kim out row brett in the canoe. Ahh, good times.

We decorated pumpkins a few days later. Do I even need to tell you which pumpkin is mine and which is Jerrick's? I'm embarrassed that they are right next to eachother. I mean, it's not that my little monster isn't cute, he is. It's just that Jerrick is pretty good at carving. His pirate turned out awesome!

On the actual holiday, we went with our friends Brock and Betsy to their house for a little get together with their friends. It was fun to meet some new people and dress up again. I think our costumes were a little better this time around. Just in case you haven't already, please notice Jerrick's shorts (which are mine) and my sweet hair. Thanks Crystal for the freaking awesome wigs! Haha, Brock and Betsy looked great after they raided old costumes at Betsy's mom's house. We had fun. Thanks guys!
We had a good holiday. Now that Halloween is over, you know time flies! Before we know it we will be saying Merry Christmas to the guy who holds the door open at the supermarket. I can't WAIT!

Happy 50th Jerry and Linda

We made our way from Vegas to St George to celebrate! Wow, FIFTY YEARS! Congrats you guys that is seriously amazing! We were so glad to be able to celebrate with Jerrick's parents and so much of his family. We had a great time. There was some family there that I still hadn't met, so it was really nice. The first 20 hours were pretty stressful trying to get everything together for the party, but we all pitched in and it turned out great! I'm sure a ton of great pictures were taken, but I only have a few.

Here is the cake that Jerrick's sis Gen made. It was really beautiful and took her forever, obviously! Also, we got a picture of the happy couple dancing. Aren't they so cute?

Once again, congrats you guys! We love you!

Vegas Vegas Vegas!

We drove from Arizona up to St. George and had to stop on the way in Vegas! We only stayed one night but we had a good time! Jerrick really wanted to see the Blue Man Group, so we went to the show and it was fun. They are a funny little group of mimes, but the best part was that my little hubbie got to be part of the show! They approached us before it started and asked him to be in it. I was like "DO IT!" I think he would have anyway, but they made him change his shoes and gave us better seats. Then, in the show they got him out of the audience and pulled him up on stage. He put on a white jumpsuit and helmet and they whisked him off backstage. I could only watch the camera screen as they man handled him with paint! The whole front of his jumpsuit was covered in blue! They turned him over and he was hanging by his feet. Then, they threw his body at a white canvas making a blue man! After, they wheeled a little cart on stage with a huge jello thing on top. When the blue men tore apart the jello, my baby's little head popped out! I was laughing. The lady sitting next to me said, "Wow, he's really eating this up isn't he?" I laughed harder as Jerrick was smiling and loving it. It really made the show! Here are some pics of the strip...

Jerrick was pretty adamant that the guitar on the building looks just like his electric, so we got a pic!

Me, outside of the Venetian. It was my favorite hotel I loved the little Italian boat rides! Maybe some day soon we can take a real one... AHEM... Jerrick? PLEASE!

Just a beautiful fountain outside of the Wynn. That hotel is seriously amazing!

Anyone sick of Arizona Posts? I'm not :)

So, once again I went to Arizona on a school break... yeah I know I am just so predictable! However, this particular trip actually had some business attached! I had my first interview for a Physician Assistant program at Midwestern University in Glendale. Here I am on my way out the door...
Jerrick had to get a picture of me. Ha! It was like the first day of kindergarten he was so sweet. (P.S. I did wear a jacket and look more professional than this picture shows!) Anyway, the interview went so well I decided to call it quits with the whole interview/stress process. I loved the school! I loved the faculty and the program, so I am starting next June! We are so excited to go back to Arizona, but we will really miss our family and friends up here!! After the business was over, we of course had to have some fun! We enjoyed eating out and being in warm weather as we always do when we visit my parents. We had a really fun few days with them but it was too short! We went to an old gold mine town. Here are some pics...

Yes, of course I made everyone get ice cream with me! I don't change much :)


It was hard to leave and say goodbye to my parents and Kemo! I love that dog! But we had a great time!
