what we have been up to

we have been busy the last couple months. we had Roy Brandon's 30th birthday party, i made his Michigan Helmet cake :) he loved it, but loved Ali's cake pops more :)

Then there was halloween, Braden dressed up as a dead surgeon for work and my office had a pumpkin decoratung carving contest, we made Hootie the Blow Fish and we WON!! (yes we hot glued each indivdual candy corn on the pumpkin.

Tabitha and I had our first monthly craft day where we made these corn husk wreaths (thanks to my wonderful sister Laura for the idea)

 I made pumpkin spice cupcakes with a cinnamon honey cream cheese frosting for work for our halloween potluck

The Gilbert Arizona Temple is being built just 20 minutes from our house and we had the opporunity to attend the ground breaking with our friend Tabitha and Clint and there adorable twin girls (who are 10 weeks old and so cuddly, I love holding them)

I got to spend a wonderful weekend with some very special and amazing women. I went up to Showlow to Audra's cabin with these amazing girls. We had so much fun. We sang Kareokee, went to the Snowflake Temple and ate and a hole in the wall place, its was decent food :)

And of course Sadie has been a handful of fun as always. She is such a ball of energy. She loves to be chased around the house, she knows house to sit and she is learning lay down and stay. she knows when we turn the TV off and tell her night night that its bed time and refuses to go to bed and will run away from us. She is almost 6 months old and weighs 16 pounds.

We are getting ready to go to Holbrook to celebrate Thanksgiving with Braden's family and we are taking Sadie on her first road trip. It's a 3 hour drive so lets see how it goes, oh yea his parents have a poddle and Bradens aunt might be bringing ther little dog to.
