The last two weeks

Basically it's just pictures and captions. Not really going into detail or telling stories, but enjoy nonetheless!

We drove the Alpine Loop a couple of weeks ago and it was beautiful. I look a little pale because of course I got car sick.

I look a little thick here but isn't my husband handsome?

We had a baby shower for Rheanna where you were lucky enough to guess the baby food.

Carline decided to smell it first.

Chelsea savoring hers like a fine wine.

Someone had a weak stomach.

Now Halloween

Zombie pirate.

Yep I was a witch again this year. I figured I spent the money might as well get more than one day use out of them.

I threw a little get together Halloween night. It was nothing spectacular but I had a lot of fun and really that is all that matters. And I got to see Megan who makes a wonderful Owl. (I want her mom to make me that costume)

You know Zombies got to stick together.

Chris zombie peeled his flesh off about 30 minutes after the "party" began.

It was my birthday

Last week Chris wanted to carve pumpkins. This is what we ended up with. He did the wolf I did the scary mummy. I think they turned out pretty awesome, even though they only lasted the one night because it was too cold, and we all know what happens when it gets too cold. Shrivelage!

My sweetheart saved his lunch money and took me out on a hot date for my birthday to La Caille this was the drive up from the gates.

Sorry the picture quality isn't great. I was using my cell phone.

We decided we want that tree when we grow up.

Reminiscent of the Jacob and Jenni picture at the Getty years ago.

"Monster Le Fang" lightly rub his tusks for wealth and health. We both took some of that luck

(my favorite is his little bow tie)

My birthday cake!

It was a fancy shmancy dinner with rose shaped butter delicious food and a hot date that wanted to start a fight when he learned it was a...gasp FRENCH restaurant, that we probably won't ever spend so much on a meal again but it was a great night with a great guy.

I love my husband!

My Hero

He came riding in on a white horse
(As he recalls)

Yesterday my sweet husband decided he would read up on strokes in his CPR book for some reason.
It was a good thing he did.
A guy came running in Maverick yesterday yelling, "Does anyone here know CPR?" Chris said he did and followed him out.
An older lady was having a stroke and Chris took charge. He made sure someone called 911 and then proceeded to take care of the woman and the situation in general.
A bystander tried her hand at heroism but could not find a pulse to no avail. Chris assured her she had one but her heart rate was only about 15 beats per minute. The ambulance from SLC arrived right away and had a train horn on it and showed it off trying to get in the parking lot (Chris' station is the busiest in the company, so it was crowded) because this idiot and his car were blocking the way in. Chris' said his ears were still ringing by the time he got home hours later.
The paramedics called back later saying the lady was alive when they handed her over to the ER but that was the last they knew. Lehi paramedics showed up ten minutes after SLC left, Chris told the SLC paramedic that when he called and they said she definitely would have died if she had to wait for them. Way to go Lehi.
Just a few days earlier Chris saved the day but we can't talk about it due to possible legal issues. Just know this when I asked the hero for comments he replied with,

"We're going to need a bigger boat, we're going to need a bigger boat!"

Delta Trip

Chris and I took a trip to visit his brother who lives two hours away so we could watch the REDSKINS and cowboys rival game. (Which we won by the way)

We enjoyed our suckers on the ride down and Chris may have had a drink or two.

We found this really old school we wanted to explore. But it said, "No Trespassing"

That didn't stop us. As Chris says, "No cop, No stop!"

I like the "SCHOoL"

The culprit with the lion he now wishes that he stole. You see the small window behind him, where the glass is missing, that is where he climbed through the first time.

Really good cops can think like the criminals right?

I went in this way and as soon as I saw the dead black bird on the ground I promptly turned my little law breaking body around and headed out.

I'm guessing this is where they burned the bad students!

The other way Chris gained access to the building. The entire time he was down exploring the basement I was standing out back by some little barn praying he didn't cut himself on some nasty sharp object. I don't know when he had his last Tetanus shot.

It almost looked like someone wanted to fix up at one point.

What the rest of the town looked like. Beautiful. We looked for but could not find the dumpster Chris played in as a child.

Ok I would NEVER want to live there and YES I know my Halloween music is the best.

I don't hoard

15 years ago Aunt Syd and Phil had taken Jenni and I to 3rd Street Prominade and I bought these glasses , or it was a gift, I don't recall. I have bought many sunglasses since. None of them compare to these.

They have experienced life with me. Been on two continents, in six countries, and visited at least ten states. (Driven through a lot more, though I'm only counting places I've stayed more than a day or two) And they drive my husband crazy. Because they are scratched and one ear piece is crooked. I can't part with them.

I have given up trying to purchase a new pair.

(Yep. Thuggin it out!)

I found these at work. They sat in the lost and found for the required designated time after which I thoroughly disinfected them and gave them a try. I do not love them, but the lens are scratch free and they cover my whole eye so they have some good qualities. If only I could combine the two sunglasses.

Oh and the quote from the last post was not for people to feel sorry for us. I thought it was hilarious.

Ta ding

Mocha chip cupcakes with chocolate sour cream frosting

I didn't even get to taste one.

So Chris went back to the Doc and they are just keeping an eye on his liver for now. That's okay. Although he was having colitis attacks the last few days and I could see it effect his liver. The yellowish hue to his skin and the yellow eyes tipped me off.

I found this and thought, "How appropriate" I couldn't help but laugh and agree.

CHALLENGES

"I expected times like this - but I never thought they'd be so bad, so long, and so frequent."

(from the great website despair.com)

How we spent Labor Day

Well I got up early and went to work then I went to meet Chris

He went to race cars with his friends Josh and Rocco.

Rocco races cars all the time and he let Josh and Chris take one of his cars and have some fun.

The Dynamic Duo

I missed the first four races. Chris was disqualified from the first three because he went off course.

(Couldn't get a clear picture)

They did pretty good considering neither had ever raced and the car they were racing was stock, it was not modified in anyway.

They were pretty funny. Yelling out directions to each other. Pilot and navigator.

I went on a few runs. Chris took me on one and I thought he was cruising, but apparently he took it easy because I was in the car. That didn't last. On each of Joshs' and Chris' last run four of us crammed into the tiny car; Josh his sister, Chris and I. Josh slid into a stall trying not to go off course and then ran over two cones. Chris amazingly did his best time and didn't hit any cones when we were all in there. I'm guessing it was his thug tunes that won the race for him.

I am so angry with myself. I had an awesome video of Chris' first race when I got up there. He was cruising along and near the end he spun out, doing a 540, it was awesome, I couldn't stop laughing and you could hear the announcer say, "Chris Mahana taking the scenic route." I'm angry because after it downloaded everything from the card was automatically deleted. Now I can't find the video that I KNOW downloaded. I am so sad about it. I will keep looking because it really is a good video. Josh said he's been in a rollover and he was more scared when they spun out.
