Halloween!

Sailor was a Kitty!

We had such a fun Halloween. We first went up to Logan to see my parents and little brothers Cage and Crew. They were such cute pirates! On Halloween we went to my sister-in-law Kristens house to have our annual dinner and trick-or-treat party. We had such a great night. Everyone looked awesome!

Paige begged to be Wonder Woman for two months. My cute friend Mary made her costume. She felt to cool. Thanks Mary, it looked great!

We were all witches, Tiffany(sister-in-law) and my mother-in-law Judy

Bryce and Bryant decided to win the most hideous costume award. I don't think we have laughed that hard in a long time. Well, since the "Dumb and Dumber"costumes at Ashley's wedding. We love your sense of humor boys!

Cage and Crew!

Tag your it!

Ok, so I have been tagged twice, so I better just get this over with. Thanks Shelb and Ash!

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. I love Halloween. I love to dress up and be someone else for a night. Plus I love haunted houses. I secretly always hope a vampire will bite me.
2. If you know me at all, you very well know that I feel ripped off that I wasn't able to go to highschool in the 80's. I'm obsessed with the 80's. I love the music, the hair, the movies. Can you imagine what my Prom pictures would have looked like with my hair? Pretty rad, huh?
3. All of my close friends know that for breakfast I go through the Crest drive-thru and get a 44 oz. half regular/half diet Dr. Pepper. Yes, I know it's horrible. I'm an addict. I call it my crack! How else am I supposed to have any energy? (Hence, the teething whitening never works.)
4. I have a foot phobia. I can't stand feet. Ok, so I do like baby feet. I've inherited the phobia from my mom who inherited it from her family. I always notice what peoples feet look like. My father-in-law thinks it's so funny to try and get me to rub his feet. I would probably rather die.
5. I've always been scared of dogs. I'm not an animal lover at all. I've always thought that meant I was cold-hearted. Maybe I am. I mean whats wrong with me? Who doesn't love animals?
6. Ok, so I'm going to let the cat out of the bag...I wash my hair every 5 days. Don't tell! I know it is so sick, but I do still bathe. All of my close friends know this, and I have even converted most of them. The trick is to get Bumble and Bumble hair powder. It soaks up all the grease. I'm not trying to promote poor hygiene, but it's amazing!

So I tag, Claudia, Kelly, Nora, Nat LLoyd, Jill, and Deb Jones.

Sailor trying to steal one of the famous Dippity cupcakes.







We had a fairy baby shower for Summer. She is due the first of November. I'm hoping she will be born on my birthday so we can be best friends.

Finally Baby Lily is Here!

We are so excited to have our newest member to our family here. Lily Judith Lefrandt made her way here by a surprise C-section two weeks early. YEAH! She is so precious. My girls want to know when they get a baby like cousin Lily. I keep telling them, soon, really soon. I love the picture of Lily looking like she wants to eat Sailors rice crispy treat. Sailor had to sit in the cool bed with Ashy and get a picture. Good job Ash and Jon on making such a beautiful baby! We love you!

Pumpkin Patch!

We had a fun, last minute, Family Night at the Thanksgiving Point pumpkin patch extravaganza. The kids ran around like they were at Disneyland. Paigey and Sailor love their new best friends Addie and Capris (Precie). Thanks for spending the night with us Facers and Christensens!

NO, NO, POOP!

So Sailor came to me the other day with this is her hand. Yep, it's poop! Bryce thought it was hilarious as I frantically ran her to the bathroom to clean her. He got a picture of me in the midst of the, "don't dig poop out of your diaper" lecture. Kids, gotta love 'em!

Bella's first Birthday Bash!

Look at all the fairies. It was my niece, Isabella's birthday. She just turned the big "ONE". We had so much fun being with all of our friends and family. Thanks Mykelle for throwing a killer birthday party. It was amazing!

Sailor going in for a birthday kiss!

Me and my cute girls!

New York in a minute!

So we took a quick trip to New York for the weekend. I LOVE NEW YORK. It's one of my favorite places to visit. We left the kids with Grandma Judy, and had the time of our lives. We stayed right in Times Square just around the corner from my favorite popcorn place (which I ate everyday). We went and saw Wicked again and I had chills the whole time and tears were in my eyes. We also saw Jersey Boys (awesome, but bad language) and Mary Poppins (soo cute). We met up with a friend, Paul Sui. He is the nicest chinese man you'll ever meet. We shopped SoHo and I think my new favorite color is purple. I should really expand and buy something other than purple, I just didn't realize until I came home. So sorry to all my friends who have to see me in so much purple!

Book Club Rules!

This book club is awesome. Look at all these beautiful women. Lisanne isn't in the pic because she is taking it. Lisanne has put together a die hard book club. There are three commitees (food, book, and house). You can only miss three times and your out (exception death and birth). This will really weed out the flakes and force us all to read. It's great! Lis, thanks for all your hard work. I know I'm making friends I will have for life. Thanks to Ash (marrying Jon), I feel like I have another extended fam. We all need to go on a big family vacation (The Anderson's and Christensens take Hawaii)! P.S. Becky Kimball has more pics on her blog.

Princess Paigey!

We went to Gardner Village with some of my cute sisters Mykelley, Tiff (Buff Dog), and Betty. Paigey looked so cute wearing her tutu all around.

More Summer Fun...

We all went to the Provo Towne Center for the carnival. Our girls think we are taking them to Disneyland. I rode on one ride and was sick the rest of the night.



GO COUGARS! Paige and I got in trouble by Bryce becasue we didn't wear blue. Who knew?







Here we are taking one last swim for the summer. This dirty diapers disease in the public pools has thown a damper on our swim fun. Luckily we didn't get the nasty virus and were able to find other pools.

Summer Time!

Paige's first day of school at Learning Dynamics!

Relaxing in the Hot Tub! Aunt Mykelle brought Bella for a swim!

Deb, Paige, Kate, Jennie, Me and May!!!

Can you believe it was my 10 year reunion? All of us got together the night before and went to dinner and shopped and had a big slumber at the Grand America. We had so much fun being together. Kelli couldn't make it because she was doing a dance show in California. Danya is pregnant and I guess didn't want to come. We missed you Kel and Dan!

Goodbye Aurora!

It was a sad time for us, Paige's best friend Aurora moved to Texas. They are both so sad to be away from each other. Kelly (Aurora's mom), and I took our princesses to Dear Lizzie for one last rendezvous.

Dr. Oz on Oprah. I love this guy!

The five best foods to eat to live a longer life...

1. GARLIC (best not cooked, because it takes all the good stuff out.)
2. TOMATOES/TOMATOE SAUCE (I guess when you combine tomatoes with oil it's even better for you.)
3. OLIVE OIL (always buy in a dark bottle and keep in the fridge. When left on the shelf it loses the good stuff. )
4. SPINACH (cooked and fresh)
5. ALMONDS (not roasted)

When I say "good stuff", who knows?
He also said POMEGRANITE was amazing for you. I'm not quite sure why.
