Fall Crafts

Ok, it is feast or famine here! I didn't update in a really long time and now I have a lot of entries I want to get up! I found a couple of really cute decorations for Fall and wanted to share. The first is this adorable vase made from a gord! You may have already seen this on the cover but it's so beautiful and simple I couldn't believe it. Although drilling through one of these babies is sometimes harder than it looks. :)This next one is actually also from BHG, but it was too cute to pass up.

I love it! I love it! Very different and original. Here's the link to further instructions: http://www.bhg.com/holidays/halloween/pumpkin-carving/halloween-witch-dance-pumpkin/

At my mom's house, we've been painting pumpkins for years because it's less messy and because we get bored halfway through a carving. :) But ours are never this cute.

Visit from Doug & Kay

This weekend Jefferson's parents came to visit. It was a lot of fun! Kay & I had lunch, all of us toured Windcrest where he works, and Jeff & Doug & Kay went shopping. We also all went to Allison's play, saw an IMAX and visited the Denver Museum of Natural Science.

The waiting! The waiting! I just read Twilight again today in preparation for the movie premiere on November 21st. It is so good I just can't even stand it! It's a very moving, emotional book and I know the movie will probably screw it up, but I need something else Twilight. :) People in my ward here are not obsessed, as they were in Utah. Just me.

This is a design I found that someone did about New Moon. If you're an avid reader (Melissa), click on it. It's good.

P.S. Here are a few of my favorite Twilight songs from all of the books:

1. Linkin Park- Leave out all the rest * (official soundtrack)

2. Muse- Super Massive Black Hole (official soundtrack

3. Jimmy Gnecco- Someone to Die For- Breaking Dawn

4. Dark Blue- Jack's Mannequin- Breaking Dawn

5. Muse- Hysteria

6. Alanis Morrisette- Uninvited

7. Muse- Blackout

8. Jimmy Eat World- Pain

9. Saliva- Rest in Pieces

10. Jack's Mannequin- Resolution

Sorry

I have it on my to-do list! Right there between "edit more pictures" and "bang head against wall" is "do the Office post, or any post for that matter, on the blog." I will get to it. But maybe not until Winter! Just a COUPLE updates- my photography's doing alright (busy enough for me to banging my head against the wall, I guess!), and I'm trying to get all the shoots in before the leaves are all gone off the trees. I'm also going with my Grandma Hoff to Texas next month to help with my uncle's new baby, as they will have 5 children under the age of 4(!!) which includes twins. We also have our tickets to Utah for Christmas. YEA!!! I can't wait to see all of our family there and play with my Ellie and see all the nephews and stay with Doug and Kay and see my grandparents and... just excited all around! And if anyone wants to go caroling this year, SIGN ME UP! The other update is that we FINALLY have health insurance!!! Last week I told Jefferson, "Ok, have fun at basketball. Remember not to break- wait! We have insurance now! Break anything you want!!" ....I guess it could have been said a little more tactfully. There was much gasping and scolding from nameless onlookers. Mom & Al. And Jeff's friends.
Welp, don't expect a post for a couple of weeks, I guess! Just a parting thought:
