The great "Crash" of 2007.

Just a quick update. Among everything else that keeps us busy and crazy in our lives, our computer crashed this week. VERY luckily, I had backed up almost everything on our computer the day before. (Seriously, it was the day before... I had ordered a 4Gig USB flash drive off of newegg.com for $35, a great deal I know, and got it in the mail on monday, finished backing things up "just in case" and we got the "blue screen of death" on tuesday. You know when your computer tells you in DOS mode "Fatal Error, Beginning Memory Dump" and starts counting down the memory it is dumping, that you are totally screwed. Anyway, we got the computer back, it's working great, the only thing I forgot to back up was my Itunes... STUPID STUPID STUPID!!! Do you know how long I have been downloading music, since before Itunes. It's probably a good thing to start over from scratch because I have a feeling that the Itunes was taking up too much memory anyway.

Alright enough about my computer. Here are some photos of a super fun halloween party we went to at Mark's Grandpa's today. His wife Carolyn worked really hard all week to turn her garage into a very scary spook alley, and had different stations all over her backyard for the kids to go to. The favorites were the "Treasure Chest" (A styrofoam cooler painted to look like a treasure chest and filled with little prizes for the kids, way cute Idea! She used torn up paper grocery bags as filler) The fortune teller was another hit, (they had the kids reach into a bag and pull out a candy bar that described their future.) Maddi got "3 musketeers" which meant she would grow up having a great group of friends and be a great friend. Wyatt got "butterfinger" which meant he's out of control wild and crazy and I can only imagine the injuries that will occur as a result. Both seemed fitting fortunes for my children. The other thing they loved was the witch reading halloween stories. She was super animated and involved the kids in the story telling. It was such a cute party and we're already looking forward to next year! Thanks Carolyn for all your hard work!!

Maddi and her cousin Rylie. Maddi is obviously a cheerleader for the University of UTah! GO UTES!!!


My nephew trevor is a super cute blonde Harry Potter. I thought this was a very Harry pose, he had just tossed his ring onto the pumpkin for the ring toss game.


Wyatt is so obviously a U of U football player. What a tough kid! You can't tell but he had just thrown the football at me. (Notice the cheerleader lingering in the background. Football players get all the chicks!)


The treats were perfect for my kids, apple juice and donuts. Two of their favorite things.


This is us with Mark's Grandpa Dale. We sure do love him and it was fun to go see him. We hardly ever get down that far south, they live in Payson which is a 30 minute drive from Lehi. It was worth it though. We had a fun afternoon.
