Tell Me What You Think

People ask me all the time who Max looks like. I really don't know. Most of the time I say Mark because I really just don't see any of me in him so you tell me what you think...

M&M&M

You all know I love a good surprise, well this weekend I got a fantastic surprise!
Look who showed up unexpectedly!

Mark knew they were coming and the thought had actually crossed my mind that it would be awesome if they came, but I wasn't actually thinking they would, so I was surprised when they showed up. They showed up Thursday night, Friday we went shopping for fabric and when we got home my mother rescued me with some curtains that I was trying to make and getting fairly frustrated with. When Mark got home from school we went to a Mexican restaurant that's close to our house. It started snowing Friday afternoon, so by Saturday we had a pretty good blanket of snow, so we decided to call it a snow day and stay inside. My mother obviously didn't realize that this was supposed to be a vacation for her because she made dinner for us and baked bread, cinnamon buns, breadsticks AND sugar cookies! What a woman! We even played a game of pictionary which was pretty hilarious!

Can you guess what this is?????
A lasagna. Hahaha! Love her.

They left today after sacrament meeting:( Their visit was too short but I'm so glad they made the long trek out here, it was just what I needed. Thanks Mallery and Mom.

Too Cute to Handle!

Today we had a mini family photo-shoot. I set up the tripod and created a little studio in our dining room. It turned out better than I thought and was pretty fun! Here's a little teaser.

This was definitely the best shot of the day.

Happy Halloween!

Last night was our ward Halloween party. We had a hard time coming up with ideas. We threw around ideas like Archie and Veronica and even amino acids (Mark is in biochemistry right now). We needed a costume that didn't cost anything. Our budget certainly doesn't have room for Halloween costumes. Friday night I remembered Max had been given a football onesie, so we decided to run with that idea.

Yep! I still fit into my cheer uniform!

The cutest football you ever did see.

Mark was having way too much fun with it!

And here's a few from the party. I got asked many times if I was a cheerleader for BYU.

And this is GusGus (aka Henry) He's the cutest so I'd thought I'd share. His parents dressed up as Cinderella and Prince Charming! It was awesome!

The party was fun and dressing up was fun. I love being able to dress up as a family! It's more work but it's a lot more fun!
