So midterms are over, and I am no longer pulling my hair out! I did pretty well and I'm happy with my grades!!
Worth mentioning:
Haunted House with Chelsea and Jeremy...a lot of standing in line, but it was super fun! Pretty good Haunted house! THE NEST at Rawhide
game night with Lana and Craig Millett, and Mandy and Logan: played FIREBALL ISLAND {oldie but funnie, it’s like Indiana Jones!!} and QUIRKLE!!
Hiking Squaw Peak with Dallin {my big brother}
the fair with Andrew, Matt and Angel!! pet lots of cute {but SUPER DIRTY} animals, ate way too much fried food and cotton candy, and won some fun prizes! {not to mention new additions to our little family: FISHIES!} and stayed up past my bed time...oh another disgusting thing that happened that evening...
Andrew's dog Bear was being a wimp and wouldn't let me pet him, so Taylor devised this GENIUS plan: I start walking around one side of the island in the kitchen, and he'll go the other way blocking Bear between us to I could pet him...unfortunately Bear is part skunk, I have NEVER in my LIFE heard of or seen a dog do this, but Bear was so scared he farted out some NASTY smelling liquid all over the kitchen floor!! {luckily none got on me or Taylor} it was the WORST smell I've EVER smelled!!!! we opened all the windows in hopes we would air it out, but even by the time we got back from the fair 4 1/2 hours later, the smell was rancid!! the funniest thing?? Andrew thought this was NORMAL, that all dogs had a gland that you had to {his words} "milk" the smelly stuff out of, correct me if I'M wrong, but I'm pretty sure HE is..

Chels' Bridal Shower on Saturday, much like mine a lot of older ladies, but it was fun! Chels got some good stuff, and Grandma Mac made yummy food/punch...
Saturday night was fun as well, we had Paul, Emily, Chelsea, and Jeremy over to CARVE pumpkins and watch a movie! It was a fun night. Thanks to Frank the-homeless-man-posing-as-the-owner-of-the-pumpkin-patch-on-central-so-he-could-get-money-to-buy-crack we got super cheap but HUGE pumpkins! I made delicious CUTE cupcakes,
and we spent the night carving away!!
{C+J's is the one with the STACH, P+E's is the skull, T's is the one with the vomit, and mine is the cute little green one :) we also carved "ROBINSON" for Sam and Susan}
Sunday was also very eventful for Kelcie {me :)}
Primary Program!
and in case any of you don't know already, my calling is to interpret sign language for the 3 Deaf children from the 43rd branch that are in our Primary.
Needless to say the primary program for Deaf children isn't quite what it is for Hearing children as it is mostly singing, and my kiddos don't feel comfortable using their voices much.
Another point of concern is that the other interpreter that I switch off with went MIA, haven't seen her for a few weeks! I did the whole Primary Program ON MY OWN, which wouldn't be a big deal except I am NOT an interpreter, I am NOT done with school, and I've only just learned "church" signs in the last few months, I was SO nervous! but I feel like I did well, and Kiddos did awesome and were so good for me!! {their mom must have bribed/threatened them, because they are NEVER good for me, the older one anyways}
GOOD experience! I love my calling!!
other than the big things, I've been doing a lot of homework, Taylor's been doing a lot of work and car work, and we've been doing a lot of staying up way past Kelcie's bedtime with people over, don't worry I stocked up on Vitamin Water Energy at the beginning of the week!!
This week we have the Ward/Branch Trunk-or-Treat party on Saturday and that’s about it really...along with the usual work and homework, and a baby shower...
We are so grateful for our awesome friends and all the fun stuff we got to do the last two weeks!
{p.s. more pictures are on their way!!}
{p.s.s. in the photos above of me and taylor you will notice we are matching...this was ENTIRELY ACCIDENTAL and not in anyway planned, honest.}
