Zombies vs. Vampires

 This is the funnest game of the year. We get to dress up like Zombies or vampires and battle it out. I got to be assistant captain of the Zombies with Venus as the captain. Lexi and Lily came with me and Kevin and Kristal watched them.

 Only one action shot of me.
 All of the Zombies and Vampires. End score was 131-112, really close game.
 Lily fell asleep on Kristal and was super cute.
 Zack, Miriam, Kayla, and family came to my game.
Kevin and I after the game.

Mohoney annual Halloween bash

 October 26th-I love Mahoney parties! These are always so fun. They have Karaoki and tons of great food and people. I really wanted to be Maleficent this year, but all the costumes were lame so I made my own for about the price of a costume not on sale. It looks WAY better. Okay, the staff was last minute and stupid, but the head thing is amazing.

 I was also impressed with Danielle's Merida costume from Brave.
 Ryan rocking' it Kandom Style.
 Zack was crucified Jesus this year. He was regular Jesus last year.
 Jer went as the hulk and got some great pics with Zac.
 Ky was the whore of Babylon.

C.I.T. training

 October 26th- So twice a year I do police training. I get to act like I am a fifteen year old with borderline personality disorder, histrionic, hypersexual. I also have a anti-social, metally retartded brother, depressed-paint huffing sister, and drug addicted mildly retarded mother. We all dressed the part and had so much fun teaching the cops how to properly deal with perons with mental illness, substance abuse issues, or mental retardation.
 Karen (the mom), Lorraine (the sister), and I all work at wasatch. Chad (aka Jimmy the brother) works with the police.

My new patio!!!!

 So we finally got my new patio put in. It looks great! I am so excited. Kyle and Ricky came over to help. Here is Ricky chopping up stakes to hold the forms together.
 Kyle put together the forms so quick. He was really good at this.
 Ricky with his nail gun. He let me use it. Hehehe.
 Kev was over and helped us pull out an old stump of some sort. It was a piece of wood with metal at the bottom, we don't know what from.
 The wet patio as it was drying.
 The patio after I set up the furniture on it. It gets a tons more shade then the other part of the patio.

We were also going to pour a 9 by 9 foot slab, but ran out of cement to do all of it, so I have a 5 by 9 foot slab and it's all formed up for when I get money to finish it.

Eye appointment

 Well Lexi has not been into see the eye doctor yet so we took her in. It was a lot of fun. She has 20/20 vision and doesn't need glasses, but while I waited for my eyes to dilate we tried on glasses. She was so cute in glasses. So was Lily, but she wouldn't let me get a good picture of her.

 Lexi is posing in these, she is so funny.

Starting the patio

 Okay, so I want my patio extended in my backyard, but it is WAY cheaper to do it yourself ($250 vs. $1200) so I am having a go at it. My co-workers are going to help me with the pour, but I have to dig and level and take out sprinklers, etc. Kevin and Krystal came over and helped me rent a tiller and we had some fun with that. Mostly we broke the tiller a few times and nearly set it on fire, but that's just how we roll. We actually got a lot done with it. These are all the sprinklers I had to tear out. Super fun (not really).
 I had to cap the line so here is before I capped it.
 This is the big area where the patio will be. I am going to move all the chairs to this area so I can sit in the shade from the deck and the kids can ride their bikes on more of the patio. Yeah!
 After the sprinkler was capped. Yeah me! See dad, I was paying attention when we did the sprinklers before at the other Provo house.
This is the GINORMOUS rock that I had to dig out. It is HUGE!!!! I did a size comparison to most of the other rocks I found.. I later found another rock about 3/4 the size of this rock almost right next to it. I need to get an updated picture because it is looking even better now.

Caught!

 So my camera has been missing and I looked all over, except in the toys. Apparently Lily had taken it and left some good evidence. She took pictures of going down the stairs, her toys, her feet, etc. These are just a few examples.
