halloween

logan was a lion for halloween. he seemed to like his costume pretty well but he did get all sweaty. logan was going to be a hot dog and we were going to dress up as chefs and be "the cooks" but our ward wasn't having a ward party and so we had no where to wear our costumes. since the hot dog costume had no legs and wasn't very practical i took back all our costumes and got logan this cute lion costume. to make a long story even longer, our ward decided to plan a last minute trunk or treat party, but it was too late, the hot dog costume was already returned. that's ok though, because i think that logan makes a pretty cute lion.

dan had a whole getup for handing out candy. he had his chair, logan, the dog, and the candy. he even had dinner out there while he was passing out candy.

we carved pumpkins with our friends noah and jeannette and jeannette's brother sean. i'd say that they turned out pretty frightening! they were so good that some trick or treaters thought that they were fake!

pumpkins

dan, logan, and i went to apple annie's in wilcox to pick pumpkins. the weather was nice and we all had a good time creating some good memories. we took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch and handpicked the perfect pumpkin! we were able to get some fun pictures through out the day...

this is us on the hayride out to the pumpkin patch. it was pulled by a tractor and dan was quite disappointed that it wasn't pulled by horses.

this is a standard pose for logan. i think that it is his way of saying he is having so much fun!

logan's little cheeks got sun kissed after being outside for a while. he was such a trooper!

this is logan in a pile of pumpkins. there was so much going on around us that i could hardly get him to look at the camera.

after taking about 75 pictures throughout the day we ended up with this perfect picture of logan in the pumpkin patch!

mexico

we took our semiannual trip to r.p. mexico with dan's family and had a great time. logan didn't care too much for the ocean because the water was a little cold. however, we set up his own personal paradise in a baby pool under the awning. he loved playing and splashing in the water. he also had a great time digging in the sand! and yes, i do realize that his face is covered in snot, but hey, we were in mexico!

come to find out..

dan thought there was a gas leak in the garage yesterday so he turned off the hot water heater, hence a cold shower. apparently it was a leaky propane tank.

cold shower

after running the dishwasher and doing two loads of laundry, i got in the shower and promptly realized that there wasn't anymore hot water. as a result i still have slight stubble on my legs because shaving with goosebumps does not produce silky smoothness. ugh!

officer in training

dan and i went to eat at trh to commemorate my 27th birthday today. it just so happened to be "tip a cop" night to sponsor the special olympics. this i was grateful for because it diverted the attention away from me and i was able to avoid having to ride the saddle for my birthday. anyway, the marana police force was there posing as our waiters and waitresses. logan earned a junior officer badge that he proudly displayed on his shirt. he and dan just so happened to be dressed in similar shirts and everyone pointed out that they matched. i thought that was funny but dan not so much. there was also a female police officer that decided to babysit logan for us. she paraded him around the whole restaurant while we ate. our dinner turned out to be a pretty nice date!

i've been tagged

here are the rules:

1. list seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself
2. tag seven people to do the same
3. do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it"


1. i have to clean my house in a certain order: dust, clean the bathrooms, vacuum the floors, and then mop the floors. i cannot vacuum and then dust or mop and then clean the bathrooms, for some reason it has to be in this order.

2. i also have to bathe in a certain order: shampoo my hair, wash my body, rinse my body, rinse my hair, condition my hair, shave, wash my face, rinse my hair. again, not sure why, but it has to be in this order.

3. i have to check the mail everyday. on some days it is the highlight of my day!

4. i have recently taken to speaking in text. like brb, gtk, ootl, lol, idk, noyb, tsnf. one time i texted dan tsnf and he texted back a whole sentence with only the first letter of each word. it didn't work though because i had know idea what he was talking about!

5. i usually think i am always right (according to dan).

6. almost every time i go somewhere, i give myself a mini manicure in the car. i put on cuticle cream, lotion, and sometimes file my nails. it drives dan crazy, but i convinced him to deal with it by telling him it saves me time since i don't have to do it while i am getting ready.

7. i like straws. i have to have a straw in any drink that has ice in it. it is such a little kid thing to do, but i can't drink it without a straw.

i, like mandi, do not yet have seven blogging friends, so i will tag the friends that i do have: kristen, morgan, and emily. (i know, pathetic that i only have 3 friends.)
