In Nov. I was able to attend an event for Isagenix called Beyond Courage. It was an amazing experience! I learned alot! I also learned to appreciate everything in my life, and to not be afraid to Live my life to the fullest!! I spent about 6 days in san diego, Kim Olson and I shared our own cabin, and were able to spend some time with our Isagenix Family, I love all the people in Isagenix, they are some of the neatest people I've ever met in my life, Kim is alot of fun to hang around with, as you can see, when we were on the beach she was trying to get her camera back from me. I was trying to delete an ugly pic. of me... I was out there on my birthday...I thought it was going to be sad to spend my birthday out of town, but Justin did something very special for me...the night before my birthday I had just got back from a long hard day, and on the deck of our Cabin were two bags, full of presents...I could not believe it!! He found the number of the place we were staying and had them make me some gift bags. It was the nicest thing, I just sat on the bed and cried, it meant so much to me. I shared what he did for me the next day with everyone, and they thought that was awesome, it is definately a great example of how to treat your wife! I am very lucky to have Justin for a Husband, he is such a sweet person. I did miss him and the fam. on my birthday, but they made it special, the day I got home, Mckinzie had made a cake, and they had decorated the house and made me special cards, It was a birthday I'll never forget! Also, when I got out of the shower on the morning of my birthday, Kim had put balloons all over the room and put a cute present on the stove. It was so sweet, and My Isa- Family sang me Happy birthday twice, once at breakfast and once in the big group.It was cool.

Lauren is in the Womens Choir, they sang three songs: sleigh ride, Mr. Santa, and Nativity Carol, it was beautiful!! I curled her hair and it looked so cool, it looked like ribbons. She looked and sounded beautiful. Her friend "who's a boy", Dylan came to watch and support her, he is a very nice boy, he's definately a gentlemen. It was also my mom's b-day, so we went out to eat after, we went to iceburg, it's connected to a gas station, so I told my mom she could pick out any treat she wanted for her b-day, so she got a nut roll. I also made my dad get one so he wouldn't eat hers... we had alot of fun!
Michaels Chourus performance was awesome too!! it was an hour long because they had so many songs, they have been practicing very hard, they also made a cd with some of the songs on it for the parents. Mr. Bottita (our Tutor) is the one who is the director and puts it all together each year, Lauren was also in his choir in elementary school. He is very good at what he does and they did an amazing job! After the concert, we stayed and visited with him, he was teasing all the kids, he only has one daughter, and he loves our fam. & We love him too!

Halloween
We had a blast on halloween! First we had the parade at the school, and then all the kids friends came over to our house to hang. Then the little boys went trick or treating in my mom's neighborhood. Mckay & Mckinzie went with their friend Taylor trunk or treating in Alpine cause Taylor's mom said they would get big candy bars, but I think they ended up a little disapointed! Then I took all the older kids and all their friends to my mom's house to say hey...she was giving out pencils so Laurens boyfriend (dressed as a nerd) was like "cool, I'll just add it to my collection!" and put it in his front pocket! lol Then I dropped lauren and all her friends off at a party. and then dropped mckinzie off to finish trick or treating with Taylor and mckay, who then showed us how full their bags were, in just a short amount of time, we were like "wow, how did you get this much candy", and they said, "well there were two houses in a row where no one was home and they had a bowl of candy out on their porch saying take one", hmmm...let's see...teenage boys (take one) = Take ALL!! lol Then I came home and waited for the little boys who had trick or treated in three neighborhoods including ours, and finally came home with their cousins and friends to count their candy and eat the delicious chili that Justin had made, I have to say, I think it was his best yet!! Yum! Then I went to pick up lauren from her party, and it's a good thing too, as we were leaving a police car was pulling in! They must have been a little too loud! That Lauren, she's such a trouble maker! lol Ok, now I'll tell you what the kids were, I'll start with the oldest, Mckinzie was sleeping beauty, dressed in her pj's, we curled her hair and she wore a crown and sparkles in her hair, she was beautiful! I remember mckay and Taylor telling me what they were, but I can't remember what they said, oh well, at least "they" knew!lol
Lauren and her boyfriend Dylan were nerds, you can't see it in the pics. but lauren also had toilet paper stuck to her shoe, they looked so cute! Mike, was a confused sportsman he was all sports combined, Chris was a football fan and Hunter was a Caveman football player, sox was a hot dog!! Justin was the Joker, and it "was" a joke because he only wore his costume for about ten seconds, and we couldn't get a picture that fast! I dressed like I did at Rachelle's party... Anyway, it was a great halloween!
