Halloween Party

We had a fun family Halloween party friday night. It was fun to see how creative my family was with their costumes. This picture is of my little sister Jentry, her husband Mike, their son Hunter, and Mike's mom. They had the best outfits for sure. Dorothy, the Tinman, Lion, and Scarecrow. These are my two nieces Abbie and Olivia. They were both of course princesses. Olivia wasn't too happy if you can see. She is at the hard age right now.......terrible twos!
This is their little brother Adam, the sweest little guy ever!
This is my sister in law's niece, Jocie, in the wedding dress and my niece Mckinley. She made the cutest little witch. She was charming everyone with her dancing on the kitchen table to the "Backyardagains."

Alright so here is Todd and I. I know we might frighten most of you but we came up with our outfits at the last minute. Todd is a rock star guy(wearing my rolling stones t-shirt) and I decided to be a basketball player. I know I am lame but it was all I could come up with for such short notice. At least we were in the spirit and had fun.

Bring on the interviews....

We are so happy to be hearing from optometry schools for interviews. Todd has applied to both Ohio State and Memphis Tennessee and both schools have already set up interviews. So we are flying Todd out to Ohio on the 9th of November and then to Tennessee a week later. We are so excited to be at this stage of the application process. We are still planning on applying to Berkley California and not sure how many more we will need to apply to. After he interviews with both schools next month we hope to hear back soon if they accept him. So we are really crossing our fingers that we get accepted to Ohio most of all but we will be excited with wherever!! It's just the anticipation that is getting to us right now. We are both nervous and anxious to find out where we will be going. We have some family and friends that live in Ohio and just love it there. So we will see what happens. We just wanted to update all our friends and family with the latest fun news. Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!!

The "Toddster"

Todd got a new computer game for his birthday and really likes it a lot. Scout loves to sit on his lap while he plays. They are so cute. I made Todd model this beanie I made one night so I could make sure it was the right size and length. He is my model head all the time whenever I make an adult size beanie. I know he must get sick of me putting them on his head even when he is in the middle of a game. Sorry honey!! We had all our friends over for some brownies and ice cream to celebrate Todd's birthday. I got a pretty good shot of him blowing out his candles. We love our new camera.

Happy Birthday Todd!!

I just wanted to wish my wonderful husband a happy birthday today. He is very special to me and I have been so blessed to have married the sweetest and most patient man ever!! He works so hard in all that he does and it pays off. We have known each other for over 10 years now. We first started dating when we were out of high school and we have had many years of great friendship and love. I am so happy I married my best friend. I know this is a little mushy but I wanted him to know all this even though I tell him daily how important and amazing he is to me. Being married to Todd there is never a dull moment, and I love that. Excitement is the key to keeping life entertaining and fun. It's crazy he is 28 years old!!! Although I am not too far behind him turning the same age in January. Oops I had better watch what I say about the age thing. I love you sweetie, you are the best ever!!!

Conference at the Cabin

We had a lot of fun with my whole family this weekend at our cabin. The leaves were so amazing and so we got some cute pictures with our new camera. Watching conference up at the cabin is sort of a tradition we have. Great food, wonderful company, and great spiritual feeding too!!

This is my cute older brother Dustin, his sweet wife Cori, and their adorable little girl Mckinley. This is the Olsen Family Cabin. We love being able to get away up in the mountains together and make fun memories. It's so nice to be able to relax and not worry about life when you are up there.
Todd is freezing his "booty" off but loving the mini blueberry muffin he is eating. He didnt' want me to take this picture if you can tell. Sorry honey!!!
