Six Years!

Can you believe it? I can't!! Kelly and I have been married for 6 years yesterday! Holy cow where does time go? We had a great weekend. We decided to get a way for awhile and just hang out with us for our 6 years. We went up to Park City and did absolutely nothing! It was great!! We got up there Friday night and sat in bed and watched movies. Saturday I was up bright and early at 8 a.m. went running then got ready to go get our massages. Went up to the Homestead and got massages and facials. Yes I made Kelly get a facial I told him he had to at least try it and if he didn't like it then he doesn't have to do it again. Well he didn't like it. So Facials and pedicures are out for him ha ha. We had so much fun though. Then we shopped for a little bit then went to dinner and back to sitting in bed watching movies. Really it was the best weekend ever. We had nothing to do and we did just that. A great way to spend our anniversary.
I did get after him last night as we were sitting in bed when I asked where my flowers were. He promised me that he would always get me flowers for our anniversary - one flower for every year we have been married. Last year we were in LA - no flowers - this year - no flowers!!!! He is failing at this!

I really couldn't ask for anyone better than Kelly. He is so paitent with me, he usually agrees with me to make me happy. He loves me and loves to buy me things (which I love) He works so hard for our family - okay me and Router. He goes along with all my crazy plans and ideas and weird habits I do. He is a great husband I couldn't ask for anything more! Love you Kel - happy 6 years Yesterday!

My Ode to the Chipotle

This is so random but:
Do you have a favorite food that you just love and adore and when you get to eat it your life feels so complete? Well this week mine is this little fella'

The Chipotle Pepper!!

I don't know what it is about this but it makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Now finding it was another story. I had to go to 2 different grocery stores and I actually ended up with chipotle in adobe sauce - which turned out to be good. What is adobe sauce - I don't know

My fetish of this pepper started many years ago at a family reunion. I have this wonderful cousin who is a divine chef (even though I have only tried one things of his, I live vicariously through my family who has been to his resturant). At this family reunion we all had to bring a dish to share - and since we were camping most of us brought typical camping dishes - some came from dutch ovens, others were salads of some sort. I actually can't even remember what we ate there except for corn on the cob with Chipotle sauce and cheese. Yes he BBQ some corn on the cob then rubbed chipotle HOMEMADE might I add and sprinkled it with fresh grated cheese. Ohhh my life was changed forever!! I sucked that cob right down and re-applied the chipotle just to eat it again. Ever since that day I have "thought" about cooking with chipotle but never have. Well one day while at work at Fox 13 during the cooking show Todd one of the cooks made Mac and Cheese with Chipotle. My mouth watered!! So I made it the other day and it was delicious. (thank you Nate and Wendy for being my "testers") Well now I have a dish full of chipotle.. so now I put it in things when I can. I made chicken crepes last night - I added a TBSP of chipotle and it was DELICIOUS!!!
So I thank you Jared for beginning my fetish with chipotle - now what to add it to next??
Any weird things you love to eat?

Oh Hall -o - weenie

We had a great Halloween! It was my year to host our annual halloween party and I think I did okay! We had tons of yummy food, fun games and great company.

Mom's "puking pumpkin" She said she was going to make Swamp dip which sounded just as gross. I told her on Fox 13 they made a puking pumpkin and told her to go check out it out. So she did, and puking pumpkin was born. I think it turned out great - and it tasted delicous!

I made "eyeballs" they tasted just like reeses PB cups!! Thanks Mel for the recipe

And what party would be complete without GAMES I spent all week searching for unique games to play in a group and this is what I came up with:

Pumpkin bowling

Villian and superhero games

Pumpkin carving contest

Jenn's pumpin won (third from top, it has a lil' pumpkin in its mouth) - we asked people walking by which they thought was their favorite and they picked Jen's. My Mom's was super cool and very unique I liked hers alot!!

And a Cake walk. Basically we had ghost with number on the floor and when the music stopped everyone had to jump on a ghost then we picked a number and whomever was on that number got a prize!!
We had a lot of fun!! I tend to get a little "excited" or "stressed" as some may call it, but I just want things to go well and people to have fun. I think I did well though, Kelly reminded me to breath. I didn't even have my costume complete by the time people started to show up and I was still veining my eyes and making root beer - but it all turned out great!! Thanks Kelly, my Mom and Jolene for all their help! We always have a lot of fun!

Seeing everyone's costumes was so much fun!

My brother- in-law was a huge hit, he came as the Burger King King. It was so funny the kids loved getting their candy from him. They kept asking where their hamburger was - and they all came back many times during the night. The best part was he ran around our neighborhood just like he does in the commercials!! So if you saw him running around I do apologize - but it was so funny.

Here are the other dressed up:

Our door was always busy! We had so much candy, I had bought two huge bags of candy, my mom brought 4 bags of candy and my aunt brought some candy as well and we STILL ran out we were turning people away!!! I told them we had a lot of kids in our neighborhood.

(tangent beware)

I was so annoyed though the kids started to come trick or treating at 4 in the afternoon!! Don't they eat dinner?? Doesn't that take the fun out of dressing up all scary like to walk around in the daylight? I thought so.. but whatever!! I remember when I was young we had to eat dinner and wait till it got JUST dark enough that we could still see but it was still dark. That was the fun of trick-or-treating!! We would be out till our fingertips got so cold that we couldn't hold our pillow cases anymore. That is what trick-or-treating was for us as kids. Those same kids that started at 4 came back to our house at least 3 times - I think they were only allowed to go down our street.
Over all we had a great Halolween!! Thanks everyone for coming! Happy Halloween!
