Halloween

Here are some photos from Halloween. Matt did everyone's make-up, (well except for mine). He did an amazing job on both his and Spencer's make-up. Check it out:

Some New Photos

Couple's Photo

Yesterday Matt and I went up to Ephraim to spend some time with his parents and sister. While we were there we went over to his dad's work and got the tour of his office with a window. Afterwards we sat on the grass in the field and Matt played with his camera. He didn't really expect to get any good photos since he was just playing and letting his dad and sister play, but he actually got a few good ones- with him in them! I'm pretty excited since I've been asking for a couple photo of us for a while and some of the ones that turned out were of us.

Matt uploaded them to Costco for me and even had a 8x10 printed of us to hang in his house. Tonight when he got home he put it in a frame and put it on his wall in the entryway. I was feeling pretty special! I mean, he's got a picture of us hanging there for everyone to see. That's a good sign right?? As I was admiring it, I thought maybe it was a little crooked and I went to straighten it. I guess I straightened it too much because it went totally crooked the other way. I pushed it with my finger to the other side and knocked it off the wall! It crashed down and hit two stairs before it finally stopped in the entry way and broke! The glass shattered, the frame splintered and even the photo got scratched from all of the glass. I guess that'll teach me to be cocky! ;-)

Not a Garage Sale...

I saw this sign while driving around recently. I have to say, this may be my favorite sign yet.

New Glasses

Spence got his first set of glasses today! So of course I asked my famous photographer boyfriend, (see below), to take photos of the boy-child in his new glasses; Matt said he was booked full. I think USA Today has gone to his head! ;-) However, after a bowl of homemade chicken and rice soup, he finally relented and took some fun photos for us:

USA Today & Matt

Matt made an exciting discovery last night! I'm very happy for him: Congratulations Matt!

1st Grade Family Presentation

Here are some photos of Spencer's Family Presentation. His step-mom came down from Tooele and brought Spence's brother as well as their dog, Baby. Spencer was very happy to be able to show off his little brother. My mom came as well as a surprise for him. He loved being able to talk about her and his papa who lives in Japan. He brought his Bumblebee Transformer and all of the medals he has ever earned and got to explain each of them. He also read a story that he wrote about when he was little. Attached is a picture of the poster we put together last night. (All of the photos are courtesy of Matt (thanks Matt!) At the end of the presentation they sang a song about how Spencer is a V.I.P. in his family and then he got out hand out treats and some pencil grips. Over all if was a great experience for us all.
