A Night for Frights

Last night Bryan and I began our Halloween Excitement. We went with Conrad and Kali to Thanksgiving Point's Cornbelly's Corn Maze and Cornophobia.

This was my first time going through a Corn Maze. My thoughts. . . .it wasn't easy! To be honest we didn't actually make it out the way we were supposed to. But it was fun :)

The haunted corn maze (Cornophobia) was actually pretty fun. They had things that we haven't experienced at haunted houses before. For example - an abandoned bus.

There are also a lot of kid activities and the tickets you pay for are good for pretty much everything at Cornbelly's. So, it would be fun to take the kids earlier and do the kid activities and then the adults stay for the corn mazes.

We'll keep you posted on our other Halloween adventures.

Bryan and I have added another show to our TV lineup. It has sort of an Office or Arrested Development feel to it.

I believe that it was the series opener and it was seriously funny. If you like either of the two shows above - I would suggest trying it out

I am really adding too many shows to my list - oh geez

Oh and p.s. this was my 100th post (finally made it)

um ya - that's right

About a week ago I decided that I wanted to try something I've never done before.

I signed up for Beginners Ballet. Let's be honest - I have no dance experience! And I signed up a week and a half after classes began.

I have found that I am not coordinated, I can't jump, and a black leotard and pink tights do not flatter my figure :)

I thought ballet would be a fun way to add working out into my day. It turns out ballet is a work out. . . .but the fun part I'm not sure about yet. Oh and I decided to join in with some girls in my ward for a six week boot camp. Let me just say that my legs hurt so bad that I can't even describe it.

Oh the beauties of trying something new!

Oktown

About a month ago Bryan and I went to Okanogan! Most of Bryan's family still lives in or around Okanogan, so it's so fun to visit and see everyone. We realized that we hadn't been back for a year and a half (yikes!). Rae was off helping Dave and Amy with the new baby so we didn't get to see Rae or the Arizona Attridges which was a bummer, but hopefully we'll see them soon. The highlight of the trip was going to the Omak Stampede. At the stampede they have the world famous suicide race. There were like 15 contestants who rode horses down an extremely steep hill and into the stadium. Before the race they had a bunch of rodeo type competitions. It was so fun! (I didn't know I had any cowgirl in me) All of the girls got matching cowgirl hats to fit in. My only complaint is that I wish it was a longer trip! Seriously everyone we need to get together again soon

First Week of School

Bryan just finished his first week of school of his last year at BYU! I thought to commemorate the experience I would show flashbacks of Bryan's younger school days :)

(looking good BA)

3 years

Bryan and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on August 12th. I can't believe how the time is flying! These have been the best years of my life! I love you and can't wait for a hundred more

SYTYCD

So You Think You Can Dance is probably my favorite show that has ever existed (well besides FRIENDS)! We finally got through Vegas week and the competition has begun. I was seriously blown away tonight. I was going to post my top 3 performances but I ended up loving just about all of them. So, in order of my preference (and it was a tough decision) . . . here's the rundown:

The number 1 spot has to go to Jeanine and Phillip who did Hip Hop. Tabitha and Napoleon are such incredible choreographers! And I can't believe how great Jeanine was for being a contemporary dancer.

number 2 is for Melissa and Ade who danced Contemporary. I'm not sold on naughty ballerina's personality yet. . . but she is a great dancer. This was one of those have to rewind back and rewatch a couple more time performances.

number 3 goes to Caitlin and Jason who did Bollywood. I'm so glad this genre was introduced to the show - it's incredible to watch. And, I think Jason might be my fav this year (hmmm - we'll have to see)

number 4 is for the Utah Girl Randi and Evan who did Jazz. I wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about either of them. But, I love when I feel tingles after watching a performance!!

number 5 (I know I'm still going - I said I loved most of them) is for the crash test dummies Ashley and Kupono who danced Jazz. This was just such a cool routine. Pretty much unbelievable.

number 6 goes to Kayla and Max who danced Samba. I love Kayla's story. I typically don't like hearing the sad stories of contestants in either American Idol or So You Think You Can Dance, but Kayla's really touched me (cheesy - I know).

lastly number 7 is for Janette and Brandon who did Foxtrot. First of all they danced to Michael Buble, so that's already great, but I thought they did a really nice job.

The other 3 performances were just ok for me.

Love SYTYCD!! What did everyone else think??
