~Girls Weekend~


Over the weekend Mandy and I went to Salt Lake City for a girls weekend. We had so much fun!! We started it off with dinner at the Melting Pot on Friday night. I don't know if you've ever been to the Melting Pot but if you haven't you should go! It is so good! On Saturday we went to Little America for breakfast and then drove to Park City to go shopping at the outlet mall.

We found tons of good deals. Then we drove back to Salt Lake and went to the mall. After we were all shopped out we went to an early dinner at P.F. Chang's. Broc eats there when he goes to Vegas and then for a week after he gets back he can't stop talking about how good it is. So when we found out that their is one in SLC we decided to try it. It was the best Chinese food I've ever had! Then we went back to the hotel to get ready for the New Kids on the Block concert. I know it's kinda dorky but we loved them when we were little and we thought it would be kinda fun to see them in concert.

We got to the E-Center about an hour and a half before the concert and there was already a line waiting outside the doors. While we were standing in line we were shocked to see that we were almost the youngest ones there. Most of the people that were going to the concert were in there mid-late thirty's and still had eighty's hair. Some of them even had old school New Kids on the Block clothing on! One lady was probably over forty and at least 300lbs and she had a shirt on that said, "Sorry Jordan I'm married". What?!?! I'm sure he cries himself to sleep at night because he missed out on his chance with her. Then one of the New Kids went over to the window and started waving at everyone. Everyone (except Mandy and I) started screaming! (I'm not a screamer so I found it really easy to hold back.) A few minutes later the screaming started again, I looked up expecting to see another New Kid and saw some guy with long curly hair, they were screaming for nothing, It was so funny! Come on people! We finally got in and found our seats and they were actually pretty good seats! The concert started and to my surprise they were really good! I couldn't believe it! They sounded just as good in concert as on their CD. The lights and special effects were awesome! So I'll admit it, I am definitely a New Kids on the Block fan again!

Thanks Broc, Mom and Dad for watching the kids so we could have our girls weekend! Love Ya!

Halloween

I hope that everyone had a Happy Halloween! Here are some pictures of our Halloween. Lexie was a pirate for Halloween, I found this costume online and loved it! She refused to wear her pirate hat so I put a black flower in her hair instead. I think that it turned out pretty cute!



Here is a picture of Lexie with the boys. Of Course, they can't all be looking at the camera!





Carving Pumpkins


I used to love carving pumpkins when I was younger, but I tried it last year with Lexie and figured out that it's really not that much fun. So I told Broc that it was his turn this year. On Sunday we took Lexie to her grandma and grandpa Pococks and let her pick out a pumpkin. Of course we ended up with on of the biggest ones! As we were driving home I was thinking to myself how much Broc was going to regret getting a pumpkin that big. (I have to admit I laughed a little) Well we all kinda forgot about the pumpkin in the trunk of my car until Thursday (the day before Halloween)! Broc said that he would help Lexie carve it that night. Well he ended up having to work late so guess who got to do it.....that's right....ME! I thought that Lexie would love helping me clean out the slimy guts of the pumpkin, but I was wrong she didn't want anything to do with it. After it was all cleaned out Lexie decided that she wanted to help/play with the pumpkin. I think that the pictures are so funny because it looks like she is going to fall in! The pumpkin was almost as big as her!





Mandy let me use one of the stencils that she bought and it was actually really easy! I think that it turned out pretty cute. Maybe Broc will get his turn next year!
