Mirror Mirror on the Wall...

We put a mirror on our wall from the floor up so Lexi could play. She loves it and frequently goes over to the mirror to look at "the cute baby". The best idea ever.

3 down! 18 to go!

My goal is to go to the gym for 21 days straight (minus Sundays and when I'm out of town) .

So far, 3 down - 18 to go!

I'm also lifting and doing abs at home.

Hopefully this will help with my stinkin' hypothyroidism and nonsense!

What a mess!

Battle of the Bands

When Terrell and I were first dating in 2008, he took me to Battle of the Bands. We decided it'd be fun to go this year, so Lisa and Derek babysat for us and we headed out! Yay for dates with my hubby!

We got there at 7:50 because it started at 8 and we wanted good floor spots by the stage. However....

8:00 came and went.

So did 8:15.

And then 8:30.

Finalllllllllllly at around 8:40 it STARTED. Geesh, we were gettin' tired and bored of waiting around!

The bands were great. They had 4 bands, and 3 rounds.

The bands that played:

Behind Smoke and Mirrors

RumboRumba

Counter Current

Goodnight Annabelle.

Our favorite was Goodnight Annabelle - and the crowds' favorite too! Luckily I caught one of the CD's they threw into the audience. Yay!

Here are pictures from the evening:

It's approaching 8:30....

...and this is us getting tired and bored of waiting around.

after it was over. we were rockin'.

Hacked.

My internet stuff keeps getting hacked!!!! GR!

In February I had to change my email address because it was sending spam to everyone at least twice a day.

Last week, my Facebook was hacked and they even changed my password and everything.

Then today, my new email got hacked! GR! luckily it didn't send that much spam out - and luckily I caught it early and changed my password to something really random!

Sorry if you've received an spam from me! :(

Halloween!

For Halloween this year, Terrell didn't have to work during the day, just all night, so we got to spend the day together! We went to Red Robin and browsed the mall. It was fun just to be all together.

Lexi looked like a total cutie - I got this orange polka dot tank top at Babies R Us for FIFTY CENTS! It made for the perfect Halloween outfit!

We decided to actually dress up this year - last year we didn't. We went to our ward party, but not trick or treating. Lexi was a big huge grumpy fairy has the night wore on.

Lexi and I were fairies and Terrell wore his biking outfit. He looked pretty cool!

At the ward Halloween party there were lots of fun costumes! We made a list so we would have good ideas for upcoming years!!! Lexi was definitely the cutest little fairy there! We had chili, salad, cornbread, and of course scrumptious desserts. Lexi even had a tortilla chip - and then choked on it, and then threw up. It was quite an eventful ward party!

Pumpkin Carving!

This year we actually decided to carve pumpkins for Halloween! We were bums last year and did absolutely nothing for Halloween! So we went all out this year and spent a whole Monday evening devoted to pumpkins.

Lexi scooping out her pumpkin goop.

She loved playing in the goop!

Until it fell in her lap....

Terrell's wicked awesome pumpkin. It took him 3 hours, but it ROCKED.

My inspiration for my pumpkin this year. Unfortunately, the pumpkin broke while I was carving it, so I had to turn it into something else....

A vampire cat/bat/gopher. DUMB.

Lexi's pumpkin of herself! Notice the big smile, 2 teeth, wide eyes, and bow - looks a lot like her, don't you think?
