Hello - ween

So i broke down and decided to carve a pumpkin....I'm not really a celebrater of this particular day on the calendar, for a number of reasons that i could list, but i know it can just be a day to dress up and carve a pumkin too, so i've done one of those things and that is what i'll stick with. Plus we made really yummy snacks!Blood-shot eyeball cupcakes...wooo..haah...haha

carving away....i ended up buying a huge beast of a pumpkin, so it took a while to scoop out the goop, and my one finger is still paying the price! The story is: i felt my nail or something gouge into my pumpkins flesh as i was scooping, it hurt under my nail, but i thought it wasn't that bad, but last night..two days later...i woke up to my finger throbbing like crazy and today its twice the size of my other one! so beware of the inflammating pumpkin virus!
This is nicole, the mastermind behind the carving party. she carved the grim reaper into her orange orb.
These are the finished products, and i must say i was impressed with them. mine is the tree with the scared face. i may post another picture of it yet just because i'm so proud!

Wedding Weekend

Tamara's wedding finally happend! This has been almost three years in the making, and it was every bit as beautiful as it should have been! Probably one of the smoothest executed weddings in history, with a lot of laughs and LOVE absolutely EVERYWHERE! My family is the greatest!Two runs through at the rehearsal and everyone was "good-to-go" I realized that rehearsals, when they are smooth, are so much like the real thing that when the acutal wedding happens its like a copy, like its already been done....maybe when i get married, i'll get the pastor to do all the technical stuff at the rehearsal...well, maybe not.
Jesse......you're welcome.
helping get tamara ready was such an honor. Here i am trying to get the veil to stay in hair that was harder than rock and one big bobby pin!
The purple clones, as we were lovingly called all day, from left to right: April, Chealsey, Moi, Jenette, and Jolene.

The groom and his men, sadly all of which were not for me; meaning either married, American, or still in the womb. ( please dont take offense) ;)

reindeer weekend

Fall is SUCH a beautiful time of year! This year it meant a visit from my good friend shelley, who was out from vancouver to take some pictures of our amazing alberta leaves, trees, fields, barns.....
the leaves were amazing...and SOO fun to play in. I had to restrain myself from making a big pile and jumping in it, just like when i was a kid.....hmmm maybe i still will.
The fields were also amazing....

As were the barns.

Yeah this province has beauty. thanks shelley for making me stop and take time to appreciate it more....
