Milas & Laura were here this past week with their two little girls Lydia and Liza. It was so much fun to have them back in Rexburg with us for a few days. On Wednesday night we have a big family dinner with all of our cousins that are here from my mom's side of the family. We had lots of fun and lots of really good food that I'm still trying to get rid of. These are some pictures from the dinner.

Milas, Laura, Lydia, & Liza gathered around the kids table.

Haley, Me, Laura, Sarah. On Tuesday we got together and make a Halloween craft. It was really fun to do and we found everything we needed pretty cheap so it was great.
Me, Kenny, Laura. We're the same age and we took a picture of the three of us last year so we had to do it again this year.

Sand Dunes!!

Last week Drew and I got to go to the sand dunes just outside of Rexburg with our friends Jon & Caralee. Jon's parents have a couple four wheelers that Caralee and I rode while Drew and Jon rode their motorcycles. It was soo much fun! The sand dunes here are amazingly huge. I was in awe when we got to them. I took my camera and had fun taking lots of pictures of Drew.

Conference

Drew and I had such a nice General Conference weekend. Its so nice to be able to watch it from home. We stayed home on Saturday and on Sunday we went to Haley & Brian's for breakfast and then the first session. We went to our friend's house in Mud Lake for lunch and we watched the second Sunday session with them. General Conference is such a nice boost for me. We are so blessed to have a prophet to steer us in the right direction.

I am so happy that Drew is so willing to go to his priesthood meeting. I know there are some guys that fight having to go to another two hour session. While he was at his meeting Haley and I went to our friend Tiffany's house. I decided to surprise the guys with a cake decorated as a shirt and tie to show them that I was thankful for their willingness to go. They didn't seem quite as excited about it as I was, but it was fun to do anyway.

I have to give some credit to Tiffany for the design. I was making it way too complicated and she just drew up this little design and I just transferred it to the cake.
Me & my fancy creation.
I'm not sure what's with this pose. It was Brian's idea. I think they were congratulating each other for going to their Priesthood meeting or something like that.

Guesstures!

Sunday night Haley & Brian were here and we played a few rounds of Guesstures. I think mostly everyone who looks at my blog knows what that is but just in case it is basically an electronic version of charades. We play is a lot and we have become more and more animated and comfortable acting crazy in front of each other. It is soo funny to watch. I decided it would be funny to capture some of these moments and took some pictures. Haley and I are very serious Guesstures players and we know each other well enough that when we are on the same team we generally win but Drew & Brian did get pretty into it this time and beat us a couple times.
Haley is probably the most animated of the bunch. I have a million funny pictures of her. It was hard to choose which ones I should post. If you hadn't guessed already the word she was acting out was "motorcycle" and you should definitely zoom in on her face for this one.
Drew's word was "tag". He tagged me and ran out of the room and was on his way back in when I snapped the picture. He is also VERY animated and intense when he plays this game.

Haley & I laughed so hard at this picture. We were just way too into it! My word was "beckon" and I grabbed a picture with Drew's mom Becky in it to get her going in the right direction but she just wasn't getting it and obviously both of us were very concerned about it.

Brian is funny to watch too. He doesn't generally act as crazy as the rest of us but sometimes he just can't help himself and he really gets into it. He was acting out "bashful" here.
Drew was acting out "old woman". I love his facial expression in this one.
Sometimes I'm not sure if I should really post these crazy pictures of myself or not, but honestly I have so many of them its hard to filter them out. My word was "abnormal" and Haley actually got it. It was amazing.
