Only in Woodruff

I was giving my boys a bath, when I step out of the bathroom and saw three masked men standing in my kitchen. What would you do? They were all wearing Halloween costumes.

Only in Woodruff would I not kill them or call 911.

New costumes for a new Halloween Party

This time we are going to the Church Halloween Carnival. The mutual kids put on a Halloween Carnival for all of the primary kids. It is a great tradition.

Here we have Aaron holding Mason dressed up as an alien.

Taylor was given the option to make his own costume this year. He hated but excepted it. Then Cameron looked at Taylor's home made basketball uniform and said "I want to be a basketball player too." The "NBA" and the headbands were all Taylor's idea of a good basketball player. They had a lot of fun and so did I.
HOME MADE IS THE WAY TO GO!!!

Knighting of Elder Eyring

Photography and comments by Scot Facer Proctor. "I was doubly blessed to be able to attend the first session on my press pass with my camera. Those who were watching the proceedings of conference on television were not able to see what happened when the new callings were issued to President Eyring and Elder Cook. I wanted to show you some of what I observed."
It will take 5 seconds to load but worth it. The picture I posted here of Elder Eyring is my favorite one...

Pumpkin Carving 10-22-07

This one is Taylor

Here we have Cameron and his scary face.




Taylor was completely grossed out by the pumpkin slime. Mason loved it.

What is your nickname?

My good friend Spel Beana from Texas posted all her nicknames. So what is yours?

From high school we had Emily at Digg ya Delores. I was Biff and they added Bolonya. Lena was Spelia Mekalaka Odote'. Brooke must have been Crunch Kavaka Davika.

My friends were top in their class. Just very smart people, so nicknames to them are longer then their origanal names. Weird I know but I love the names and the friends anyway.

Crissy came from my Grandma.

Goose came from my husband that took me from Florida/Texas to Utah. A very cold place to live. I would get goose bumps all the time and so he called me goose.

Crys is easyer to say when passing a basketball to me down the court.


Thunderthighs is a complement from track. I could beat anybody in the 300 hurtles, because of my muscular legs. I couldn't find a real track picture to post.


Hey Spel Beana- Did you know Courtney is Roy, UT and married to Scott?

5 Things You May or May Not Know About Me

1. I help coach a girls high school basketball team.

2. When I go back to college I want to major in fashion design. Then produce my own line of modest, classy, comfortable clothing. Which I already have a 1/2 dozen products on the market now.

3. Aaron and I plan on snowboarding with our kids until they put us in wheelchairs because of old age.

4. My mom is my #1 hero. And her mom is my #2 hero.

5. I think I have the greatest life, because of
my husband and because of what Rachel taught me I have a 45 year old mind and a 29 year old body.

I guess now I will tag the only other person I know that has a blog. Stephanie my sister in law.

10th year Anniversary

Aaron really went all out for our anniversary. The whole weekend was one surprise after another. First stop was a beauty salon for me and the Mac store for him. Dinner was at Red Rock in Salt Lake City. Then off to Snowbird Sky Resort for the night. It snowed for us while we were there. Just as it always did. Saturday was the funniest. He took me to all our old apartments, Gourdine pastries, the Salt Lake Temple, and Su Casa.

Halloween has begun

We had a school Halloween carnival. At the end there was a magic show. Everyone laughed the entire hour. Taylor and Cameron still can't figure out how he did the tricks.

Happy Birthday Taylor

On Sunday we had Chad, Jessica, Jozie, and "Grandma B" up for Taylor's birthday. He turned 7. WOW! Taylor was bursting with excitement. Kid birthdays are so much more fun.


Taylor's favorite gift was a whoopee cushion Mason gave him. He was so exited. Before moving on to the next gift he blew it up to try it out. Taylor's dad says "here, put it on my chair and I'll sit on it." Aaron walks back into the room playing it up. Acting goofy so the whoopee cushion sound will be even funnier. As Aaron sits down on it, it pops.

Taylor was so devastated. We all took a few minutes of silence as Taylor and Aaron embrace and got control of their emotions. I think Aaron felt just as bad as Taylor. When Taylor was ok again we were able to move on to the next gift.
