CHA CHOW!!!........This ones for you CADEN

Who are your coolest Uncle and Aunt you might wonder.....I will tell you...Danny and Liz, the proud owners of LIGHTNING MCQUEEN!!!


This is what I have been spending all my time painting for the ward Trunk or Treat


And our costume...
Pit Crew coveralls

And it totally paid off. All the kiddies LOVED it and wouldn't leave our car alone and some stalked Danny inside the church saying "You're the one with Lightning McQueen" (then one of them put a clown nose on Danny and they all laughed...Danny was not happy. It was awesome).

Anyways, it was pretty fun. AND...we now have something to dress up as for Trunk or Treats for as long as we have my car (which is probably going to be another 10 years).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

PS. I have a job. I start on Monday. Play time is over.

What do you do when all your friends are going to the Pumpkin Patch and you're the only one without a kid??

Take a stuff animal as your child.


Patches, Kara and Madeline riding the train


J/k (kinda). Last week the Young Mom's group in our ward went to Half Moon Bay to the big pumpkin farms. I decided to go because...

1. I have nothing to do
2. I really wanted to go to the pumpkin patch and Danny didn't
3. I am in charge of the RS activity groups and want to show my support

I also had purchased this stuff animal kitty (Patches) at the airport (my sister collects them and she didn't have this one) and decided to make her a "P is for Pumpkin and Patches" Halloween book. So I brought Patches along to take some festive Halloween pictures. Thanks to everyone for not thinking I'm too weird. And...

Patches says, "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"

Meet Butterfly

I think its too cute! Becca is such a good Mom to her dolls.

Where we've been

So Danny has been super busy at work and ended up going to San Diego and I had a free plane ticket that I had to use before November so I decided to visit the family for a week. It was really fun hanging out, watching movies, eating good food, and shopping.

Favorite moment: Becca getting a baby Butterfly Halloween costume for her doll at Nordstrom. She is so spoiled but her doll looked super cute in her costume.

Danny worked hard in San Diego and was able to spend some time with the "Boys" this weekend when he got back. It was good fun but its nice to be back home.

Offically in California and a Maxfield


Today I went to the DMV to register my car and get my driver's license. This was my second trip to the DMV because the first time I was told my parents didn't fill out the title transfer for my car correctly. So today I went again. It only took 4.5 hours to get through their stupid inefficient system and I still have to go back again! I love that all the government workers (at the DMV and Social Security Office) are foreigners and don't speak English. Way to go USA.

**Thanks to everyone for the yummy recipes. I am very excited to try them out! **
