CHARLEY

VALANTINE

This is me and Charley getting ready for Thanksgiving Dinner :)

We have an annual Turkey Bowl game with the

Fondas Harris's Krolls and bennions every year. It gets pretty competitive. I don't play because only the good people can play but i'm happy to run the camera and sit with the dogs.

Charley took off with one of the sideline cones and started running with it. ha ha ha ha it was too funny!

Natalie, Mom and I snuck off to the gateway for a few hours and had some fun shopping together :) I'm getting this coat for Christmas Shhhh.....

The weird things my husband does...

Brandon and I dated for about a year and a half before we got married and i honestly thought i knew EVERYTHING about him. But since we've been living together i've been starting to learn more and more new things about him i had no idea he did. 

So this post i'm going to keep adding on to. It's going to be about the weird, funny, hilarious things that my husband does.

heres the first....

this morning i woke up after brandon did (he gets up early to study & i get up early enough to get to school (some what) on time.) I told him goodbye and left for school, I got home from school before he did and when i walked in a realized the pants he was wearing when i left that morning were on the middle of the living room floor?... I texted him

Me: "so... i've been meaning to ask? why are the pants you were wearing this morning in the middle of the living room?"

Brandon: "cause i changed my clothes out by the tv.... 

i was watching ESPN and CSI miami ha ha ha"

ha ha ha ha ha ha

I think i'll keep him :)

Extra Credit

So Brandon one day asked his O Chem professor what he could do for extra credit in his class.

his professor said he could wear a zebra gum tattoo on his forehead for an entire day on the day of their next test . So this morning i walked in the bathroom to this...

ha ha ha ha ha ha he's by far the most ambitious person i've ever met.

HALLOWEEN

I had the BEST Halloween of all time! (minus my husband was absent :(  that wasn't the best)

but I went home to shoot some engagement photos and really had so much fun with my family!

We woke up and carved pumpkins! 

Then we went to the Salt Lake Real soccer game! I've never been to a pro soccer game before and it was SO FUN to go with my brothers! We got some awesome "Ice Cream Nachos" and regular nachos as well 

Mom & Dad

WE WENT TRICK OR TREATING!!! Me & Jared & Ryan & Dad all went trick or treating! It was SOOO much fun! Me and Jared were running from house to house and I'm SO glad Ryan came with us! It was the most fun I've ever had trick or treating!

GO BYU!

The FAM went to a

BYU 

game a few weeks ago! My dad bought tickets for our family and his brothers family came.

this is the group.. 

my uncle dean and his family are behind us watching the game

(well... my uncle doesn't look like he's watching the game cause he's blind but he's listening to it i promise lol)

Me & My Man

Ward Halloween Party

We had our Ward Halloween Party tonight. We did a Pumpkin carving and Chili Dinner. It was a lot of fun.

ours was the best pumpkin there!

My newest calling is the ward photographer so I went around and met a lot of the couples in my ward by taking their photos for the ward directory.

these are our friends Tyler & Laura McAllister. They are Brandons cousins who live 3 doors down from us.

These are our other good friends, McCall and Jared Park with their ADORABLE baby Ryan. She's probably my favorite baby at this point :)

Since I had to take photos brandon carved most of our pumpkin and it turned out so cute! He had to go to a study group smelling like pumpkin but it was so worth it.

HAWAIIAN VACATION!

Our Trip was AMAZING! We went with brandons family for the Dental Convention and really had a good time!

This is us at the top of a mountain over looking the valley! It was such an amazing view!

You've GOTTA go to the Polynesian Cultural Center while your there too! We spent the whole day here and i think it was one of my favorite days. Brandons sister Aubrey had never been there so it was fun to take her :)

One day brandon stayed home and studied like a good student and me, aubrey, cary and Jody went and hiked diamond head. It was more of a stair climb than an actual hike though...

We also hit up the Dole plantation and got some of that famous AWESOME ice cream!

This is brandons favorite sushi. It's called Genki and it's fun because you sit at a table and tons of different types of Sushi comes by on a little moving track. (like that baggage claim)

you pay by what color the plate is. it's so cool! great sushi too!

Overall we had a REALLY fun trip! We're payin for hard for missing so much school but it was so worth it!!
