Halloween

 

Halloween fell on a Sunday this year. When we got back from Church these two and their new dog were visiting.   What a great surprise.  They came to show us WonTon in his cow costume like Brooke.  So cute.  

Andrew did the Halloween pass out the candy.  I think we had about 20 before he turned off the light.  Good sport for him.  I went to bed cuz I have been soo sick.  

Love me some Halloween

Nick's Halloween Dance Girls Choice

 

Nick got asked to the Halloween Dance. Girls Choice.  He said it was Oct 8 and he would have to leave Abi's wedding early.  ok so we figured out how that would work.  THEN he said it was Oct 30.  Good thing he figured out when the dance was so he could show up. He went with Taya.  She is the one he met up with in Disneyland for a bit while we were there.  

They were hippies.  They had Panda for dinner and went to some Dance Studio for Dancing then to some girl's house to hang out after.  

Such a good looking shirt. We were just glad the shirt fit.  Andrew said he could cut it up the back and put it on like a surgeon for the pictures.  But he was good that it fit.

Golf and a Football game

 

Friday before Halloween was the end of term so we didn't have kids at school.  My grades were finished and I had been sick.  I have been sick since Abi's wedding 3 weeks ago.  I have a horrible cough and sound bad.  I decided to sneak out of work early.  Andrew and I had a Tee Time at 2:30. It was a beautiful Fall Day.  Perfect for golf.  We went to the Rose Park which is one of my best courses and close to our house.  

I only got one picture of me.  I didn't get much time to take pics because inbetween shots I was coughing my eyes out.  But we had a pretty good game other than I lost two balls and Andrew was in the other fairway twice.  

We headed to the Bountiful High Play off game after the Golf.  It started early so we had to hurry.  Here's Nick in his glory doing whatever it is he does on the sidelines.  He did put all the radio equipment away in the dark.  

Earlier in the week we went to the dump.  Love the dump because it means we are getting rid of HUD.  Andrew loaded up the Van and we too book shelves and stuff that needed to go.  We used Marlena's ID so we could get in the Bountiful dump close to our house open to Bountiful residents.  We did have to pay 5.00.   So worth the 5.00 to get rid of HUD.  

I'm almost at 1500 items decluttered. I have til Jan 1 to get rid of 2021 things.  Such a good feeling.  Here's to the last 600.

Not sure why this pic is here, but he is my dead sister's husband.  Weird.  

And this shirt is horrible.  Not sure how this pic got here either, other than I probably wanted to get it because it was velour and we love velour.  Well, my mother loves velour and we like to make fun of her by wearing velour. 

Add Garage Door Opener to the List

 It seems we have had a million things replaced.  New faucet outside, Air conditioner cleaned, New Thermostat for the Air conditioner, Bathtub Resurfaced, New Car, and a New Oven.  Now I get to add a new Garage Door Opener to the List.  

Here it is.  The sensor went out and they don't make that kind anymore or something like that.  So we had to replace the entire opener.   The guy really liked our nice steel garage door.  He actually replaced it for us a few years ago when Nick backed into the door and ripped it off the tracks.  Glad he didn't say it was not a good door.

He also said that with that nice steel door, it is better to get a higher powered opener so it doesn't bend the tracks.  Fab.  He installed it and was gone before I got home from work.  Andrew talked to him.  Even better.   

Here's a pic of the opener.  Actually he said it was the Cadillac model (which is funny because I just got a cadillac) and has Wifi, camera, automatic shut after so long, and the best part....

He installed a keypad.  I have wanted a keypad since we moved in 15 years ago.

And another cool thing we found out today, after downloading the app is that we have a camera and can see in the garage.  I know garage needs to be cleaned up, but that is so cool.  If someone wants to steal some of our HUD from the garage we will know who to thank.

AND you can put it up and down from your phone.  That is cool too.  Can't wait to check my garage door every night and not have to walk down and shut it.  

Not sure it is worth 525.00 but then I remember how heavy the door was for me to open manually and yep, it was worth every penny.  

So glad I don't have to open the door by hand anymore.  

And  

Here's my garage while I am at work.  LOVE it.  I just check in periodically to see if my HUD is still there.  

Great Tuesday

 

Tuesday we headed to Red Lobster for All You Can Eat Shrimp.  Andrew set it up with Ty.  Brooke and I tagged along for our good company.  We all had the shrimp and decided Walt's favorite was our best shrimp. Although Ty might argue the Coconut Shrimp with the Pina Colada sauce was the best.

Nope not me.  

Ty was the stinker and paid.  He is a pain that way but so very nice.  

He is a stinker in this photo too.  What was he thinking

I didn't get any pictures of it, just like my dinner on Sunday.  But was super fun.   They even got Carlita to tend the dog so we could party.  

Love me some Lobster with my besties. 

Great Sunday

 

We had Stake Conference this weekend.  Somehow we didn't go.  Jack decided to go to Michelle's house for Sunday Dinner.  McCall picked him up.

That left Andrew and Maureen and Nick.  Andrew and Maureen decided to go to dinner at Olive Garden.  I haven't been there for years. We tried the new one in Bountiful.  I got the Tour of Italy and Andrew got Chicken Parmegania.  It was great and Andrew even paid.  So nice. I tried to get a photo but he said we would get one outside wiht the sign and we forgot of course.

THEN we drove to Lehi for a Halloween light tour.  We drove by 3 houses with Halloween light shows.  That was fun. There were 6 total but we decided 3 was enough.

We drove home and decided it was time for bed to make sure we got up for the gym.  Well, only one of us got up for the gym.  

A New Grand Dog

 Brooke comes over and shows me her new Dog.  He is 9 weeks old and name is  Wonton.  He is Very cute. Then she sent me these pictures of him.  

Funny I'm not seeing my Halloween Blanket...

He is a puppy and bit his other grandma.  Good thing I didn't get that close.  

College Week at SDJH

 At my school we had College week so we were suppose to wear stuff from our Alma mater or a college.  I didn't have any from Weber State or BYU so I wore this one from Dixie State which is where Abi goes to college.  I got it when she came down for Freshman orientation.  I'm surprised it still fits.

Jim sends me this pic of her cleaning out the Elephants on a cold day.

I think I'm going to keep these shoes that I bought maybe for the wedding.  

Baked some cookies in my new oven.  Well not so new oven but I haven't baked any chocolate chip cookies.  It did a great job.  I LOVE my new oven

At the planet fitness.  once in the past month...been a bit busy
