The United Way Pumpkin Auction at work! This was my entry! It's current bid is in the $50 range! Thanks to Martha Stewart for the great idea! Look how frightening the rats are, I am pretty sure this pumpkin will give you nightmares, if you saw it in real life. I titled this pumpkin "Bubonic Rats" by Hailie Law. And I took it to work and everyone was like "oh that's sooo cute" Does it look like I was trying to go for "cute"? I think not, I was hoping for something more along the lines of "oh gross" and "that's digusting" and "I can't talk because I'm losing my lunch in the corner". Oh and those spiders going up the side are there simply because I had them, and I wanted to use my glue gun.


Oktoberfest!!! Life is better with beer...according to my German Oktoberfest shirt.


A drive round the Alpine loop. It was my first time. Its as close to camping as I am ever going to get. My idea of appreciating nature is a drive-by.

A trip home to Idaho meet the newest member of the gang, Hank the Irish Settter. I am not going to lie I didn't really get along with him. I could never betray Chewie like that. Tanner made in on the blog as well! Hi Tanner! Oh and that's Jeter the cat. He likes to climb on the car, and sleep in Chewie's bed.


Halloween Cupcakes!!! Those are Black Velvet cupcakes.... which reminds me of a song, something about black velvet in that little boy's eyes..... it was a red velvet cake recipe, but instead of red food coloring I used black. Hence the black velvet. Oh and that's cream cheese frosting. Thanks to the Lott's for the loaning of the cream cheese! Thanks for Mama K for the use of what could possibly be the cutest cupcake stand EVER!


Finally the Lonestar Taqueria, which Andrew claims is the best mexican food in Utah. It is rather enjoyable, I am especially partial to their fish tacos....the salmon is super tasty!
