Halloween 2012

Happy Halloween Everyone!  Ours has been a full day of costume changes, friends and CANDY.  We started out in the morning with a fun parade around the Elementary School for Jacob.  Ricky insisted on dressing up too so we got him all suited up into his Shark costume (really a killer whale, but he would not hear of it).  Jacob went to school as a super awesome (have to add that part) Ninja.  He couldn't wear his mask or swords but he felt cool anyway.   I bribed Ricky with a lolly pop so that he would sit next to me and watch all of the cute kids in their costumes come down the hall in their classes.  Ricky yelled words of encouragement at Jakie when he came by and Rick enjoyed showing Jakie his awesome costume as well.  We went home and Ricky wouldn't change so I gave my little shark some lunch and got him into bed for his nap and prepared for our evenings events.  Doug and Laura Klarman and their kids were coming for dinner and trick or treating.  We ate soup and salad after a full evenings of the kids scoring bags and bags of candy.  We did a fun Halloween movie montage and then it was off for teeth to be brushed and two exhausted little boys to get into bed.  Rick and I enjoyed our favorites from their trick or treat bags and headed up to bed ourselves.  It was a fun day!

 

 

 

The Great Pumpkin Patch

Looks like Its that time of year again. We had so much fun going down to the local pumpkin patch (2 min from our house) to pick our perfect pumpkins for decorating.  The day was cold and overcast but we didn't mind.  It could have been snowing right?  The little pumpkin patch was so cute and had lots to do.  there were a few farm animals for petting, corn launchers (target practice), pretty flowered areas and a great corn maze for the boys to try.  We love the setting in South Jordan with the mountains in the background and I couldn't wait to get a few good shots of the boys.  That is often easier said than done, but I think I managed a few.  We managed to find a few fun shaped pumpkins that met our desired specs and wheeled them up to check out.  I would rather buy them at a farm than super market any time!  It was a great afternoon just playing with our boys.  We followed our purchases with a fun night of pumpkin carving as a family.  Check out our handy work below: 

 

Rick Is On The News!!

Rick got onto the news today!! The local news stations were doing stories on the University Of Utah's new intraoperative MRI (AMAZING) and how it will effect patients and their outcomes. Rick was asked to speak about what it is, how it is set up, etc. He did great and I might add that I thought he was very handsome. He will hate that I added the last line, but it is true:) Great Job Rick.  Every one is super proud of you. (Here are a few photos taken as he interviewed and links to check them out.)
