Kevin knows how to shimmy!

halloween (sorry, we didn't dress up)

I stole these from my sisters blog. Sorry Chelsey. Hadley was a cat for Halloween. She was so cute to watch waddle around in her fat suit. She was fascinated by the few pieces of candy she had in her little pumpkin carrier. She would sit, no squat, and pick the pieces out of her pumpkin, throw them behind her, then I would put them back in, and she would continue to pull them out and throw them behind her. I occupied her for quite some time doing this. And for some reason she loooooved her little fun-size pack of peanut M&M's. She had held that little package for so long that it was so creased you could barely even read the label on it.
My cousin Elder Zach Headman came home from his mission in the Philippines a few days before Halloween. I couldn't go and see him at the airport but I guess when Chelsey asked him if he wanted to hold Hadley (who he had never met before) he said that he was afraid of white people, especially white babies. So their he is just lightly touching her.. Missionaries are so funny. When I first got to see him, I gave him a big hug and all he could say was "Wierd! Your Married!"

you know its a bad day when...

You wake up, again, with the stomach flu.
Your renters complain about their oven not working, so your husband figures out the part it needs, but lo and behold there is only one left in the states...and what state is it located in?...HAWAII. so it will cost just $400 for shipping.
So we have to buy our renters a new oven.
Your husband gets a speeding ticket. Dangit, car insurance wont go down for a good while now.
You have the stomach flu, but you still have to take a test.
You have the stomach flu, so making food does not sound appetizing at all, but your husband needs to have some kind of dinner because all he had last night was a can of chili and almost passed out today while working.
You go to buy pizza because that is the only food you can think of that you could eat (besides saltines) that wont make you gag. (I know weird choice)
Your favorite pizza place, Bid Daddys Pizza, has closed. For good.
You drive to Costco and wait for a pizza. You are getting really hungry by now.
You bring it home and it smells soooo good. This stomach bug does not let you eat enough.
You eat one piece and that is all your mind and body will let you handle. It still smells good, and looks good, but imaging eating it now makes you gag. Dang it!
You now have to survive on hot chocolate. Its not bad though.

But you know...I think I did pretty darn good on that test. So that makes me happy.

watch Psych

Our favorite new series to watch on Netflix is Psych. Its hilarious, sometimes in a dumb way, but most of the time in a funny way. The humor on the show is great. I would recommend trying it out. You have to get to know the characters though; so don't say no until you have watched a few episodes. We also really like it because it is a good, clean show; hardly even a swear word. A rare find these days.

marriage!

My cute cousin Kailey got married last saturday. I was excited to attend her sealing because I had never been in the Bountiful Temple. The last time I was up there was for my future sister and brother-in-law, Natalie and Jeremy's sealing. Me and Kevin were engaged at the time so I went up and watched Patrick (ha kidding) and Alta in the kiddie room during the sealing. But Kailey and Deely's sealing was beautiful and it reminded me about our sealing and how perfect it was.

After pictures we went out to eat at Wingers, yes Wingers. The ONLY good thing there are the wings. My parents always try something else and are ALWAYS disappointed. Stick to the wings.. I always bounce when I eat those wings; both Kevin and Tyler noticed.

We then drove home and got the food ready for their reception. We did fruit, chicken salad croissant sandwiches and chocolate & caramel dipped pretzels. We then had to drive all the way to Ogden. I mean where the heck is Ogden anyways? I honestly don't think I had ever been to Ogden before. And I don't think I will ever go again. I swear it took us 2 hours to get there. Well, the problem was we willingly listened to Chelseys' new navigator phone app. It probably took us the worst way possible. By the end Hadley and I were DONE being in the car. But we finally did arrive! We got all our food ready and were ready for the party to start. It went very smoothly luckily.

I also cut their wedding cake. My little cousin Megan walked by and went "Malorie, you are kind of awkward.." Totally a Mitchell comment. I just laughed. Hey, it was my first cake-cutting job. I was awkward. But I did it! And I gave people what they really wanted: BIG PIECES.

I love weddings. My favorite parts are watching their first dance, watching them cut the cake, and watching them leave. I love the exits!! I loved ours especially. Lots of our friends and family had stayed to watch us go and my dad gave us a firework show. It rocked. Oh and Kevins brothers tied a frying pan to our car.
So when they walked out and no-one followed out I was like WHHHAAAT!? This is the best part! Their was only a few of us out their while they made their getaway in their old awesome 1940's car. But I sat and waved and smiled and cheered as they drove off to their new life. What an exciting time. Just thinking of it gives me the shivers. I loved our wedding and honeymoon. I could do it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
So obviously we are so excited for Kaily and Deely to join the married club!! I love love love them.

the little one is 1

We went to a birthday party. Hadley turned 1! Chelsey decorated her house so cute for it. Hadley got so many presents it was ridiculous. Me and Kev got her a stylin Raulph Lauren sweatshirt. It was darling on her. But when it came time to eat her cake...Hadley would have none of it. She put some of the frosting in her mouth and made this gagging noise that we have all found to be quite funny. She must not like the texture of things such as mozzarella cheese, egg whites, and white frosting; these all make her "gag" in her girly way of gagging.
She got a bunch of books for her birthday and she looooves books. Especially ones with dogs in them, she will say "doggie." She also loves my parents dog Zoe and is always saying "doggie" around her. I don't want her to outgrow this stage...she has the sweetest little voice when she tries to talk.
She suprisinlgy is not scared of Zoe at all. Shat started feeding Zoe some of her dinner last night and would let her nibble the food right out of her hand. She is fearless.
