Guitar Hero

So, we bought guitar hero for our Wii, and it is pretty much the most addicting game ever. Joel and I can't stop playing it every free chance we have.

Happy Halloween!!!

We had a fun Halloween. We first went to the Larsen home to see Zach and Collin's costumes. They were all ready to go at 5:30, but didn't want to be the first ones out there, so they waited around for about an hour, and then left because dad kicked them out the door.

Collin dressed up as a farmer.

Zachy dressed up as a ghoul, I think his costume looks like a death eater.

Joel showed the boys how to make bubbles with dry ice. Joel accidently swallowed a piece of dry ice, but I don't think anything bad happened from it. Just a few burps.

After the Larsen's we went to Ryan and Alissa's house. They deck out their porch for Halloween night, so I suggest everyone check out there house next year.

Demeree was a fairy princess.

Naomi was tinkerbell.

These two little girls were so hyped up on sugar! Every time the doorbell rung, they would scream "TRICK OR TREATERS!" and RUN to the door! It was so funny. In between the trick or treaters, they were running around, and eating olives. I think at one time Naomi had 5 olives in her mouth at one time.

!!!HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Finally...

Joel's Licensed Appraiser Certificate FINALLY came in the mail yesterday. We can finally do our own appraisals! What a relief this is. Joel has worked so hard, and built an awesome company.

Pumpkin Carving

My cute honey Joel decided that it would be fun to do some pumpkin carving last night, and it was way fun! We wanted to do some cool pumpkins, and they turned out really good. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Elder Larsen

We got a few pictures from Cody, who is currently serving in Bermuda. That place looks like a freakin paradise!

Desk Building...

So, we decided to get new office desks. Mostly because Joel has been working off a small card table for the past year, and it's time we upgrade. We had some picked out, but when I went to get them, I found some desks that were about $200 cheaper, and looked nicer, so I decided to get the cheaper ones. We found out that the reason they are so cheap is because they are the most difficult and HEAVY things to put together ever. Seriously. We have been working on them on and off for about three days, and we only have one desk done. Pain in the butt. I took some pics of Joel while he was attempting to put them together. He's a little upset in this first picture, but then in the second one, he lightened up after we had a few laughs over the support rods and the turnbuckle. What is a turnbuckle you ask? Yeah... we still have no idea... Stupid desks!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JOEL PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joel has been working so hard to get his appraiser's license, and this morning was the final step, and he passed the test! He took the test on only four hours of sleep, but he's such a smarty that he nailed it anyways. Everyone congratulate him! He's been working so hard for this, and it's completely paying off. Good job honey! I love you!

We Are In!!!!!

Joel talked the builders into letting us close on Thursday, so we got the keys to our brand new home on Friday!!!! We have been moving all weekend, and will be getting our new furniture on Monday. We are so excited! I can't believe it's finally here. We slept in our new home last night, and it felt so perfect. We are extremely blessed. Another great thing that happened this weekend is that Joel got his letter from the state saying that he is cleared to take his final test to become a licensed appraiser. He takes his test on Wednesday. We are so excited for that. Joel has been working so hard, and it's completely paying off. Wish him luck on the test!

We just got our keys to our new home!

Unlocking the door for the first time!

The 3 cutest girls in the world

These three cuties are our nieces. From left to right: Demeree (Ryan and Alisa's daughter 3 yrs old), Jocelynn or Josie (Aaron and Sarai's youngest, 2.5 months) and Naomi (Aaron and Sarai's oldest daughter). They are the cutest kids in the world! I wanted to share that with all of you.

JAZZ TICEKTS!

Our season ticket books came today! We are excited for the Jazz this year. If any of you want tickets let us know what games you are interested in, and if they are open, they are yours. Let us know.

Football Weekend

We got to babysit Jeffrey on Saturday, and I think we wore him out. By the time we left the football games, it only took him 30 seconds to fall asleep in the car.

The football update is: Tyler's team won, no KILLED Hillcrest. Zachy's team won highland, and Zach rocked it! Collin's team lost to Highland, but Collin did AWESOME!

House Update 9-18-2007

CARPET IS IN!!!!!!!!! Carpet was scheduled to be finished tomorrow, but they got it all done today! YES!!!!!!!! So, hopefully they can bust their butts and get us to close a day early..... that would be amazing. All this time I have been worried about everything looking good and matching, and it's all coming together perfectly. I can't even believe how good it looks! 13 days and counting....

Broseph

Joel was upset that we didn't have a picture of our baby on here, so here he is. Isn't he cute? This is our puppy Broseph. He is 1 1/2 years old, and is Joel's best buddy.

House Update 9-14-2007

Yeah!!! Appliances and countertops are in!!! The countertops look awesome. Everything is coming together. 17 days left until move in... Still taking signups for helping us move on October 2nd : )

House Update

So... after our little tile fiasco, our cabinets are finally in, and they look great!!! It looks like our closing date is still going to be October 1st. Only 20 DAYS OUT!!!!! It doesn't seem real to me that after a year of waiting we are less than a month away from being in there!!!

Does anyone want to sign up to help us move????

Utah State Fair

We went to the fair on Saturday with Mike and Karlie, and had a LOT of fun!!! It was Joel's first time going to the fair, and I'm sure he is going to want to go next year. We'll go without the turkey legs next year though... ; )

We finally have a blog. I'm sure you all are excited. I will try to keep it updated. If you have any tips, let me know.
