Life, Halloween, and the Pumpkin patch.

So it's been awhile since I have posted stuff. It's been a busy month. I can't believe next month Mike and I have been married for 2 years. Where does the time go? To start off, I took some night photography classes. Mike knew how much I love photography and how I want to start my own business, so he found me these classes that I can take. I missed the sign up for the other classes so I was only able to take Night photography this time, but next time I will be taking a whole bunch of different classes. I took tons of pictures, but the pictures below are Mike's favorites.







We also went to a pumpkin patch to get pumpkins. It was alot of fun. I like being able to go and pick out your own pumpkin from a field. The owners of the patch let their chickens run around, so Brock decided it would be fun to hold one. So Brock had the owner catch one so he could hold it. It was a fun day. After the pumpkin patch we went to Tyson's football game where they destroyed West Jordan. Here are some pictures from the patch.

On Halloween, we had some family and friends over, but i forgot to take pictures. We didn't have a ton of trick or treaters, everyone went to the trunk or treat, which makes me sad. I think it takes the spirit of Halloween away. Oh well. If anyone wants some candy let me know because we have tons left over. :) Other then that we kept busy going to my brother Tyson's football games, hanging out with family, and working all month. Even though I forgot to take pictures on Halloween, I did take a few of our house a few days before, and some of the pumpkins we carved, but not all of them.

The first 3 are of my house. I had full intentions to take pictures using the candle light from the carved pumpkins when I put them out there but I obviously never did. So I just have these. It will give you an idea of how we decorated. I also forgot to take pictures of the decorations on the window. My bad.








Here are some of the pumpkins we carved at my mom's house.

Below are a few random pictures.

My center piece for my kitchen table. I'm crafty in some ways, but not when it comes to stuff like this, so I think it turn out pretty good.


TeeJay running into the house, more like pouncing, after the first snow fall.



Jozy and TeeJay giving Mike a weird look while he played with our new camera.


We got the remote for our camera so Mike set it up on the fridge playing around, and he caught TeeJay being nosy. Silly dog.


Enjoy!

Catching up and Trip to Durango Colorado

So I have been a slacker. I (Britta) went with my brother, Tyson, Grandparents on the Adamson side and some aunts and uncles to see where my dad lives, this trip was about 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately Mike had to work so he wasn't able to come. We left Friday morning and stopped at Mesa Verde National Park. It was fun to see the Indian Ruins. I love doing stuff like that. We got into Durango in the evening and just hung out at my dad's apartment. The next morning we took the famous train that goes from Durango to Silverton. It was about a 4 hour trip, but was so worth it. It was absolutely beautiful. It took us through San Juan National Forest and the scenery is absolutely amazing. When we got to Silverton my dad met us there so we wouldn't have to take the train back. We explored Silverton and it was a cool place to see. I found it funny that they only had one paved road in the town. On our way back from Silverton my dad took us and showed us some cool places. The college there is on the top of the mountain and when you go up there you have the most amazing view. That night we went to this BBQ joint for dinner. I believe it was called Totally Texas BBQ but not positive. It was really neat. There is a deck you can sit on to eat and it overlooks the Animas river. After dinner we explored the different shops in Durango. It was kind of like Park City but bigger. It was a really fun trip. That part of Colorado is so beautiful.

We have been keeping busy. We go and support my brother every Friday night and watch his highschool games. Its fun watching him play. Last night we went to his Homecoming game and his team won the first homecoming game for Kearns High since 1996. I start one of my photography classes on Tuesday and I'm so excited, I will probably get lost on the Campus though. I got my new Nikon P6000 Camera last week and I love it. It's such an amazing camera. Mike is getting a new computer which he is so excited for. He has been wanting a new one for awhile and found an awesome deal on a Dell Quad Core system with an awesome video card setup and a huge hard drive. It will be nice for me to do video and picture editing on.

Also thanks for every one's votes on my hair. I decided to go with the change and change it to brown. It seemed to be the popular vote and also Mike's vote. The dogs also got hair cuts and when Mike was taking the picture of me so I could put it on the blog the dogs decided they wanted to have there picture taken and jumped up on my lap, so below I've included the picture of the dogs and me.

I will put more pictures on my facebook later. I took so many and there are alot of cool ones, but there are too many for the blog.
Here are some other pictures.

The dogs playing in the back yard.


And the new hair.

Making decisions about my hair.

So at the top right hand corner of our blog there is a poll. I can't decide if I should keep my hair dark blonde or if I should go back to brown. I posted pictures below some of them are really bad quality and old but I had them on a USB from a project I was doing and I don't want to go through all my pictures to find some others. But they give you an idea of what I look like with the hair color.

Medium Brown



Dark Brown : sorry about the full picture on the right but If i were to crop it it would be so blurry you couldn't see it.


And this picture is from now. It's the most recent and is on the blog from the concert we just went to.



Thanks everyone for your opinion.

Picture Tag

We were tagged by Kim. Here are the rules...go to your pictures and go to the fourth file and then the fourth photo in that file and you have to post the picture....Here it is...



Last fathers day my brothers and I met my dad half way in Moab. We went and explored the arches and went to the hole in the wall. This picture is from the hole in the wall. Tyson and Brock were trying to see if they were fast enough to catch this bunny that was just chilling under the tree. You can see Tysons feet in this picture as he was trying to sneak up on it.

I tag: Jessica, Elisa, and Mel.

Update and SYTYCD Concert!

So to catch up quickly. Mike and I switched over to Verizon last week and we both got the LG Dare. We absolutely love them. Verizon is so much better then Qwest. We also switched my family over to Verizon as well so we can all talk for free. We went to another of my brothers games last friday. Unfortunately we didn't get to see him play too much because his knee was injured, hopefully this game he will be able to play more.

Last night Mike and I went to the So You Think You Can Dance concert. It was so much fun. They did most of my favorite dances. They also added a little comedy in the show having Gev dress up in dresses and try to pursue Chelsie Hightower and Courtney. Below are some pictures. They had asked us not to use flash photography if we were going to take pictures so we honored their request so some of the pictures are a tiny bit blurry but they turned out pretty well.

These first pictures are our dogs in the car on the way to my Mom's house.

It was an extremely fun night, and I'm so happy I have a husband that is willing to go to things like this with me.
