Sushi night!

Friday night we went to my friend Lois's house for Sushi night. Jon taught about 12 people how to make their own sushi. It was a lot of fun, and we also played Rock Band til about 1:30am. The pictures above are of the sushi that Jon made for he and I. It was so yummy!! If anyone ever wants how to make Sushi, Jon is an excellent teacher.

Well Hello Gorgeous!

GO OBAMA!!!

Tim Burton & Helena Bonham Carter

My brother's idol is Tim Burton. So for Halloween he and his wife Kathie dressed up as him, and Tim's partner, Helena Bonham Carter. I think it looks AWESOME!!!

Halloween

Aiden was Bumblebee (the Transformer). Owen was (or should I say is a monkey). This was Aiden's favorite costume so far. He loved it so much he wore it 2 days before Halloween. Then again the day before for my family's Halloween party at my brother's house. Then on Halloween, and finally the day after Halloween. Today I put the costume in the dirty clothes. And hopefully will be able to put it away for the rest of the year.

Here is all my nephews and Aiden & Owen. From left to right is My sister Amber with Christian (Steelers fan), Gabriel (Sturgis dude), Spencer (Anakin Skywalker), Chandler (Obi Wan Kan Nobi), Owen (monkey), and Aiden (Bumblebee). 6 boys under 5 years old. Whoa!!!

Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins. The top one is Jon's emoticon, next my smiley face, Aiden's pirate, then Owen's spiderweb & spider.

Owen helping out. Not really but he thought that he was being a big helper. It was the fisrt year we've carved pumpkins with the boys. Aiden was so antsy the whole time, it was kind of irritating. By the time we finished I had a blister on my finger. I never realized how much work goes into carving pumpkins. I'm not really a big fan. But the boys had fun, so it was worth it. Messy, but worth it.

Black Island Farms

We went to Black Island Farms last Saturday. It was the first time we had been there. It was so much fun I think we will make that a yearly tradition. Aiden, Owen, and I rode on the train, while daddy took pictures. There was so much to do there. First Aiden wanted to go down all the slides, then we went through the corn maze. Aiden directed us through the corn maze all by himself. We didn't help at all. I'm glad he got Jon's sense of direction and not mine. We would have been in the maze forever if it was up to me. Next we took a hayride out to the pumpkin patches. We all got to pick out a pumpkin. It was a great family outing, and such a beautiful day. I really enjoyed spending the day with my family.

Pampered Chef

I would like to host a Pampered Chef party, but I do not know anyone who does it. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Also I am interested in having a Tupperware party too. So if anyone knows somebody in both those areas I would like to contact them.

Thank You!!!

Local Wildlife at the Snowberry Inn

So I think everyone knows how deathly afraid of bees I am. Well this is what we found in our room. A huge freakin Hornet!!! OMG!! That was scary. I locked myself in the bathroom til Jon could trap it. Then he locked himself in the bathroom and flushed it down the toilet. I was soooooo terrified just taking this picture. My heart was racing like crazy!!



Then on our way out of the parking lot at the Inn, we saw this big Hen. The picture doesn't do it justice, it was a big mama!

Randon Pictures in Eden/Huntsville

We we taking a scenic drive around Pineview and ran into this cemetery.
I thought the trees were so beautiful, and bright red. Unfortunately the gate was locked so we couldn't go in. So I did the best I could and stuck my camera thru the gate, and snapped this. I think it turned out really well.







This is a close up of another red tree that was in the parking lot of the cemetery. Isn't so beautiful, I love it!












These next 2 pics, are just of a couple different wild flowers Jon and I saw while walking around the Inn.

The Snowberry Inn

This was our room. It was called The Monte Cristo room,ooh aahh.











This was our bathtub, that Jon actually fit into. He has always been too tall, and had yet to find a tub that fit him. He loved actually being able to relax and take a bath.








Our & year Anniversary was the 19th, so for the weekend my awesome mother-in-law, bought us a fabulous getaway at the Snowberry Inn which is in Eden,Utah. It was so gorgeous, and peaceful, just what we needed. We didn't really do much but lounge around the Inn and relax. Saturday we drove around Eden and Hunstville and found a craft fair, and a couple antique shops and browsed around. It was so much fun, to not have anything planned and do whatever we felt like doing. Thank you, Carlene for a wonderful weekend. We wouldn't have been able to do it without your help. And thanks to you and my mom for both watching our boys.

More Zoo Photos

Trip to the Zoo.......Again

Yes, I love the zoo, and we go quite a bit!!
I went to the Zoo with my Sisters last Thursday. And between the 3 of us we have 6 boys (all under the age of 6, and no girls), so it was a little crazy, but so much fun. I don't get to see Amber and her boys too often, cause they often live out of the country. So it was very fun to have us all together. The boys had a blast too, of course. They are such goofballs when they get together.



Aiden, Spencer, and Chandler being goofy!









This is Gabriel, who is Amber's oldest. He is so freakin cute!












You all know Owen.












And this is Christian, Amber's youngest. He is such a doll!

Happy Anniversary Babe!

Today is our 7th Anniversary! Wow, time has really flown by. Its amazing how much my love for Jon has grown, I love him more today than I did 7 years ago. I know our love will only get stronger as the years go by. Thank you for a wonderful weekend honey! I love you!

He is Done!!!!!

Jon has officially finished all of his pharmacy school application stuff, and sent it off!! Yeah! Now comes the hard part. We just get to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and then wait some more. As soon as any new developments come up I'll be letting ya know. Thanks to everyone who helped. And also thanks for all the encouragement.

FYI New Twilight Trailer Coming!!

Entertainment Tonight is showing a sneak peak of a new Twilight trailer Thursday October 9th. Then shortly after the broadcast, Summit (the production company for the movie) is posting the full length trailer on the internet. OMG!!!!!

Aiden's Multiple Personalities

Why is it that one minute your children are precious, adorable little angels, and the next they are making you want to pull your hair out? Aiden was in such a great mood today, and then I think somehow he had a spell cast upon him, that made him a holy terror! By the time Jon got home from work, I was literally ready to cry. Some days I feel like I'm not being a good mom. But I don't know what I did or what I could have done to make today better. I just hate it, cause I feel like my whole day with Aiden was spent punishing him and putting him in timeout. I want to have fun with my boys on my days off, but today was the exact opposite! AHHHH!!! Hopefully next weekend will be better. Hopefully.

Edward and James

Check out the bottom of my page above the Twilight trailer. I found these posters on a website called traileraddict.com I think the text is Italian, so I don't know what it says but who cares! The pictures speak for themselves! Enjoy!!

Go Rock Band!!

Saturday night we went my BFF Lois' house and played Rock Band for the first time. It was so fun, that we ended up staying til midnight. I first started out playing the Bass, Jon was playing Drums and Lois was lead Guitarist. Well I sucked at the Bass, so I switched to Lead Singer. It was a lot better, and a lot more fun to sing. We had so much fun that we purchased Rock Band on Ebay tonight. We found a really good deal and couldn't pass it up. So hopefully in about a week we will have it and be able to start playing. Yeah!!! Go Rock Band!!!

Yummy Cookies

Aiden and I made yummy Peanut Butter cookies tonight. And the recipe was soooooooo simple, anyone could do it. The best part was that there were only 3 ingredients, so it was very easy for Aiden to help out. And the mess wasn't too bad either. I decided since the recipe was so easy I would post it for anyone else that wanted to try.

1c. Peanut Butter
1c. Sugar (and a little bit extra for later)
1 Egg


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Stir together the peanut butter, sugar, an egg in a large mixing bowl. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Put some sugar on a plate and roll balls in it to coat. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press each ball down with a fork to make a crisscross design. Bake 10 minutes or until cookies start to brown on the edges.


Thats it! Talk about simple! Aidens favorite part was rolling the balls in the sugar and pressing them down with the fork. He did a great job, and they were delicious! Enjoy!

The Boys' New Haircuts

We decided to have Owen's head shaved! Isn't it so freakin cute?! I love that it makes him look even fatter! I didn't think that was possible. Now he really is my Chubba!















And as always Aiden looks more like Jon whenever he gets his haircut. He is such a dork when I take his picture, he can't hold still for even a second! I am truly lucky to have 3 handsome men in my life. I am the luckiest girl in the world!

Jon and Pharmacy School

So I just wanted to let everyone know of all the schools that Jon is applying to this year. They are as follows:

U of U
USN
Howard Univ (Wash DC)
South Univ. (Savannah, GA)
Samford Univ. (Birmingham, AL)
St. John's (Rochester, NY)
Wingate Univ (Wingate, NC)
Northeastern Univ (Boston)
Mass CoP (Boston)

If you can't tell, only the top 2 are in Utah. And they are the only 2 that are West of the Mississippi river. So chances are, if he gets in, that we will be moving East. Honestly at this point I really don't care where we go, as long as he gets in! Everyone pray for him! I know that's weird coming from me.

Happy Birthday Jon!!

Jon's Bday was yesterday, and he is now 27 years old! Yes, that's right, I robbed the cradle folks! I didn't have time to post this yesterday. But the day started out by Aiden and I cooking daddy breakfast. We made eggs, bacon, sausage, and cinnamon rolls. Then he and I went and had a couples massage at Sego Lily spa in Layton. It was heaven! We had whats called the Rocky Mountain Stone Massage. Then after that Jon's parents came over and we had dinner, and cake, and ice cream. Overall I thought it was a good day. I hope Jon felt the same. I want him to know how much the boys and I love him, and appreciate everything he does for us. He is the best father and husband. Happy Birthday Babe, I love you!

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Aiden Magness

I don't have any new pics to post, but I was browsing through my older photos and found these. They are too stinkin cute not to post. They were taken on Aiden's 4th Bday when we went to the zoo. Don't they make such a cute couple already!

Jon's New Blog

So Jon decided to start his own "angry pharmacist" blog. He's only posted once, but he's just getting going. Take a look, if you dare, it is a little vulgar in some spots. For those of you who know Jon, or don't know him very well, its a different side of him, that even I don't see very often. Probably because I don't work with him. But its really good! It is under Wally on my blog list.

Spencer's Soccer Game

My nephew Spencer played his first soccer game, Saturday morning. He did so well, I wished I had pictures to show, but I had forgotten my camera. Way to go Spencer!!!

On another happy note, my sister-in-law, Kathie is expecting a new baby!! Sometime in April, but we're not exactly sure the due date yet. We are all hoping for a girl, since Lexi is the only granddaughter with 6 grandsons. But no pressure, Kathie, we will be so excited no matter what. And her and Brandon just bought a new home, that is practically right down the street from us! Yeah!!!! A new house, and a new baby, CONGRATULATIONS you guys, we love you!!

Update

Not much has taken place since I lasted posted, and I have no new pictures to post. But I thought I would at least tell you about our previous week. Monday was Labor Day, and we had a great BBQ with some of our friends, and my family. It was a lot of fun, and great that everyone could get together at the last minute. However, Monday night around midnight, Aiden starting throwing up and didn't stop til bout 4:30am. I ended up calling in sick to work Tuesday to stay home with him. By Tuesday afternoon he was feeling much better. Tuesday night however, around midnight again, Jon starting throwing up. He was much worse than Aiden and he didn't start feeling better until Wednesday night. So far by Wednesday I had a total of maybe 7 hours of sleep. Wednesday night everyone is fine and we all get a great night sleep. Thursday evening rolls around, and I start throwing up. I ended up calling in sick Friday and spent all day in bed. I didn't get out of bed until Saturday morning. It was awful, I have never been that sick, even when I was pregnant. It was nasty!!! Anyway I'm happy to report that all of us are feeling much better, and to our surprise. Owen was the only one who didn't get sick! He always catches everything, but for once he didn't, thankfully. I don't think I could have handled anymore sickness! So that was our week wrapped up! Yeah so much sickly fun!
