Halloween 2009

On Monday night we started our week off with a Halloween party at the Johnson's. We always look so forward to this party where we can dress up in costumes and get together for family time and fun games with Devin's cousins. Thanks Melinda and Joe for having us over every year and make the night so much fun!

Tate, happy and ready to start off our Halloween Festivities


Devin was such a sport this year to dress up. He decided on our costumes this year and I have to say that I really liked the way they turned out. Devin as Mr. Incredible, Me as Mrs. Icredible, and Tate as Jack Jack.


Devin's Family: Joe and Melinda as Cowboy and Cowgirl, Lindsey as a clown, Derek and Nicole as a Cheerleader and a fat basketball player, and Our fam as The Incredibles

Enjoying the games as much as he can




The day before Halloween this year my aunt Leslie had her Annual Halloween Party. Usually this party takes place on Halloween night, but due to the Utah football game being on Halloween night she moved it. We always have so much fun watching everyone show up with their very creative costumes, eating delicious food, and socializing with friends and family. Here are some of the Costumes of the Night.

Our little family as The INcredibles


Best Costume of the night was my little sister and her boyfriend as Dog the bounty hunter and his wife Beth

After attending my side of the family's Party we headed over to our friends Halloween Party. We were late so we didn't get to see everyone in costumes so I didn't get any pictures but the one below of Devin with Tate and cute Preston. It looks like Devin is holding twins, right?! Thanks Heather and MOrgan for putting it all together can't wait for next year!!

Our Anniversary Trip

Last week Devin and I left Tate with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson and took off to Viva Las Vegas to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. It was so much fun to layout by the pool, read a book, sleep in, workout on my own time, enjoy a dinner with just the two of us, go to a movie, shop at all my favorite stores that aren't in SLC, and just spend some quality time with the most amazing man in the world. I only took 3 pictures of our whole weekend together, but I am glad I was able to capture our night at Serendipity 3. I have always wanted to go to Serendipity in New York, but since I haven't been able to get there yet I went in Vegas. Thanks love for planning such a fun Anniversary Trip.


$15 Hot fudge Sundae's at Serendipity 3. I know that is way expensive for some ice cream, chocolate fudge, caramel sause, bananas, and nuts. But it was all worth it!!



P.s. thanks to all those who helped out with Tate while we were gone, you know who you are. We couldn't have gone without your help!

A determined little boy

Tonight while we were watching tv Tate was determined to get to the stairs, that we had blocked off with chairs, this is how I found him when I went looking for him. I hope this determination follows Tate for the rest of his life. I sure do love my little guy!

GREAT Job WOWZER CATS!

For the past couple months my brothers, cousins, and husband have been playing softball every Thursday night together at the Cottonwood complex in Holladay. Their last game was this past Thursday and they went out with a bang. It has been so much fun getting together with everyone on thursday nights to watch these WOWZER CATS show us their softball skills. I hope to see the Wowzer cats reunite next year!!
