Gardner Village Family Pictures!

Every year we go to Gardner's Village a week or so before Halloween (when all the fun fall decorations are up) and take family pictures. I found out today that my computer has an editing program, who knew?, so I've had a great time playing with the pictures. They are in no particular order, as I couldn't move them around for some reason! Note: This is the longest photo post, EVER! Bear with me!

Snowbird and the"friends'" Halloween Party!

We started our weekend a little early and headed up to Snowbird on Thursday night. Matt's stepdad has a timeshare up there, and we thought we'd take advantage! Even though we weren't up there for very long, we had a great time; minus the terrible night's sleep Matt and I had! We decided to each sleep in a queen sized bed with a kid, which we have never done before. Sounds pretty easy, right? Well London talks ALL night long in her sleep, and Beck is never in one spot for more than a minute or so. He fell off the huge bed at least once, and didn't allow much opportunity for Matt to sleep! They've got a great outdoor, heated pool that the kids loved. It's heated to like 95 degrees and was like swimming in a bathtub! We woke at the crack of dawn (not good) and headed home after breakfast. It was a fun, mini-getaway!

Now onto the Annual "Friends'" Halloween Party! Matt and his high school buddies are all still freakishly close, and we all get together for a fun Halloween party every year. This year, the Dehlin's hosted. We usually have a seperate recipe exchange (the wives do) but this year and last we decided to combine the two, so we got to try lots of yummy new recipes, too! Notice a difference in the Snowbird vs. Party pictures? I FINALLY got my camera back! No more blurry pictures for us!

Probably my personal favorite duo of the night; Brittany and Tyler! He was a pimp, and she was his pregnant prostitute. The best part of the costume, minus the awesome pimp get-up, was her shirt. Everyone kept saying, I love that shirt! So funny. I honestly didn't get it until this morning. It had white lettering that said SL, UT. Tyler owns a company that makes shirts, and I initially thought, "how fun. A Salt Lake t-shirt." This morning I realized it spelled SLUT. Pretty funny!
