This last weekend, Ryan's brother Rob got married in the Mesa temple. Amazingly, they were able to plan the entire wedding in only 6 weeks. Although they had a short time to plan, the wedding and reception turned out great! Congrats Rob & Cami - we're so excited for you guys!
Since being married, we've made it a tradition to decorate gingerbread houses each year. This year, Ryan and the boys decided they wanted to be more creative and skip the gingerbread "kits" so we could create "custom" homes with graham crackers. The project quickly turned into a serious task complete with a hot glue gun, "support systems," and some serious graham cracker cutting. Who knew that a candy house could turn into such a serious project!
It's definitely not perfect, but after many hours of hard work, our tree is finally ready for our first Christmas in our new home!

Although Ryan and I have been married for 3 years, this year was the first Thanksgiving we'd spent at my parents house. As always, dinner was amazing and we had fun getting to spend the day with family!

Ryan - You're a great husband and I couldn't imagine my life without you. What can I say boy, there's just something about you!

While Ryan's niece was in town, we whipped out my old Barbie's for her to play with. After seeing what a large selection of clothing we had for the dolls, we decided to have a contest to see who could dress their Barbie in the cutest outfit.

Every year, Ryan's mom makes a big Halloween meal. Since getting married, Ryan has insisted that we continue this tradition. Even when I have attempted to substitute some of his mom's dishes for new ones, he has put up a fight. So after 3 years of marriage, I have finally surrendered to the Halloween Hoopla and adopted this meal as "our" tradition as well.
This year we invited a group of friends and family to enjoy the festive meal with us. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of half of the food and all of our guests, but the night turned out perfect. Hopefully next year I'll gorge a little bit less and take a few more pictures. Thanks to everyone who participated in the fun! Happy Halloween!!
Ryan was pretty happy with how the night turned out

Those who have been in our house know that one of my favorite stores is West Elm. Although I absolutely love everything in their store, I often have a hard time justifying the prices of their products. When looking through their catalog recently, I saw some wall art that I really liked. Being the cheap person that I am, I decided that I could easily replicate the pictures and make them them more to my liking. So a few days later, I came home with 3 large canvases to begin my latest project. After countless hours of painting, I have developed a newfound respect for artists. I think it's safe to say that I'll be putting away the paint brushes for a while.
