Catch Up...again.

I did it! I blogged for the FIRST TIME!!!!!! That was from Shelby. He wrote one whole sentence. :) I have been horrible at blogging. There always seems to be something going on and blogging gets pushed to the back, but such is life. Here is a quick look at what we've been up to. We went home for General Conference weekend since we knew that we wouldn't be able to see my family again until December. It also happened to be Cameron's birthday so we were able to celebrate with him. One weekend in October we decided to make haunted houses. It was super fun and a great excuse to eat candy! This was the end result of our house after the roof caved in and we did a quick rebuild. We carved a pumpkin together for Family Home Evening the Monday before Halloween. We took turns drawing the face on and cutting out different pieces. (I am the best artist EVER! ~Shelby) I also painted a pumpkin to use as a Thanksgiving decoration-we failed to take a picture of it. :) We also invested in Library Cards at the beginning of the school year. It's been nice to get different reading material than textbooks! This is Lila and her cats-just a random picture from one of her visits home. She just loves those cats and I'm pretty sure they have been adopted into the family according to Lila. I started my own tradidion the year after I got home from my mission of making soup in a pumpkin every fall. It is now our family tradition to have soup in a pumpkin on Halloween. I experimented with a different recipe this year and it didn't turn out awful but I'm thinking we'll try something else next year. The finished product! This is what I have had to spend a majority of my time at home doing-Statistics. Most Bachelor's and Master's program require this class so I wanted to get it out of the way before I jump into a BSN/MSN program. It's proving to be a monster but I am determined to successfully beat statistics! I should also include a picture of me in my lovely blue scrubs since a lot of time is spent in those beauties also. :) And this is what we can find Shelby doing a lot of the time also. Studying away. He is such a hard worker and all of his hard work in school has definitely paid off so far. I am so grateful for him! Also, I just wanted to throw in here that we have been spending lots of Sunday nights working on Thank You cards for the gifts that we received for our wedding. Those are going to be hitting the mail box soon once we finish addressing all of them. Sorry we are so late at getting them sent out!!!
