Kids pick up the darndest things! My nephews and neice are Rock Stars!

Hardman Halloween Party, it's as good as Christmas!

The Hardman Halloween Party is seriously like one of my favorite things of the Year, it's right up there with Christmas tree Hunting, My birthday, and Lake Powell Trip! It's a seriously good time! We always have amazing soup in those cute little pumpkin bread bowl, ya....ahh cute! We carve the pumpkins, bob the apples, dip um'-dip um' good, wrap the mummy, and just have a darn good time!
This is Dave giving Carter his first apple bobbing experience! Anytime water and kids are involved it's a winner experience!

Thanye likes Carmel, just not the stickies afterword! He's the cleanest kid I know!

Yes, I partook of the bobbing fun...a little scare, who knows what was in that water, but Mom was nice, she made it warm!

Jugi loved this part, as you can see just covered in...Joy! My favorite part, if you look closely she's still got her glass slippers on, she's such a rock star

This is my pumpkin, I named her, Stella! With eye lashes like those you have to have a good name to pull them off

Julianne's little pumpkin, ahh how cute is that!

Carter likes pumpkin!

Grandma Pocahontas and Julianne carving away

This is why we all love the mummy wrap so much, it's playing with all the toilet paper afterwords! The kids go crazy, it's the only time that the Mom's won't get mad

Her's Lizzy and Thanye! The boys decided that they were tired of being the mummy this year, thinking that they were getting the short end of the stick, so we being the loving aunts we are, were wrapped!

You can't tell in the picture, but I'm pretty green! I spun so fast to try to beat the long running Dave Karissa streak! I wanted to puke!

Grandpa and Jugi-mummy!

Jugi and her Mummy!

Ah, the costumes, mine...an Aggie! I thought I was so clever, but everyone thought it was a cop-out!

The Princesses, this was hilarious, I was taking the picture and Julianne was making this funny face...I was like Jugi, what's up... rubbing the bun with her cheek, she's like I wike it! It's made Min and I laugh really hard

The force is strong with the Porters!...and the Princess

Julianne Princess Porter and Me!

So funny little story! We were in Mexico this Spring and going though the security stuff, all the kids had to have passports too, anyways. So the Security guy made all the kids give him the passport and say their own names. Thanye and Adam did beautifully, very clear- Adam Seth Porter (they thought it was crucial that the middle name be in there!) Thayne Brent Porter...then Julianne...Princess Porter! It stuck! The big Security guy cracked a smile and sent us on our way back to the good o'USofA

Ah, the classic Princess and the Monkey. It's going to be the next big thing in children's books!

Anytime Oreo's are involved, Pirate teeth must be done! Question, why are Halloween Oreos so much better than regular one's?
Ah, look at my cute little Pocahontas Mommy and John Smith Pappy! Good Sports!

Cute little Monkey and Me!

Kate and Me at the Hockey game...we spent more time looking at the fella's off the ice than on!

Whitney, Kate and Me...aren't we such cute little Hockey fans...we go for the fights!

Ah, Cowboys, I have to say...That's Hot!

Aggie Football Fans!

We bleed Blue, Baby!

So...This is what I've been working on for the last 2 months...meet my friend...I've lovingly named The HOBBIT HOTEL!

This model helped me figure out what I didn't have done, which kinda sucked, but in the end my little house turned out pretty good! I still have lot of work to do...my next due date is Nov.6th, all my drawings are due...aHHH! I'm a little freaked out cause I still have yet to learn how to draw some of them.

I'll leave you with one more fun project that I've been working on. This one is from my photoshop class...it's me, in 3 tones!~


Well hopefully now you all belive I'm in Logan for working purposes despite the tales I have told of late night playing and such! I'm no lazy bone, not this girl...my motto...Work Hard, Play Hard! Hey Hardman! I get it, the stars have finally aligned!

Grandpee

John "Jack" Hardman 1916-2008
Grandpa pasted away this morning, as I layed in bed a little percleped, I couldn't help but remember all the words of advice he gave...
Take what you want, but eat what you take!
No, Yellow Lights!
It's Hell getting OLD!
Grandpa was the definition of Work Hard, Play Hard!
The last few weeks as I went home to see him I couldn't help trying to soak up everything he said! He told me how proud he and Grammy are of me...How Grandma is a special lady (he told me Grandma tripped him!...because he fell for her!)...and how much he loved me and was grateful for the things we did for he and Grandma!
The last day I was there he and Grandma talked about how they met...I thought about that alot this week, how their meeting effected so much, my whole life! How grateful I am for example and strength he was in my life. For teaching his son (my dad) to be the person he is!
I love you SweetHeart...That's my Grandpa! I life well lived, a life well spent!

I always wanted to live in the...

My new favorite thing...YearBookYourself.com! It's so funny! We were up till like 3 laughing our heads off! So I'm enjoying the 1950-2000! Wouldn't I have been great in the 80's...it's totally my decade!

To funny not to share!

So this clip was on AFV Best of the Best from like 1998! Dave put it on my ipod and I just go these fancy dancy cords that hook to the tv so everyone can enjoy the many wonders of my ipod! Anyways... I was watching them the other day with my room mates...and this one came on! So funny-I was afraid I would have to revive Megs...she was laughing so hard...were talking tears done the face, kinda laughing! So for all you dorky bloggers out there...laugh it up!~

This is my new favorite thing on you tube...You know you've found true love if they sweet talk you with fine French food!..my little croissant, it's ridiculous!

Sweet Niblets!

So the other day Kate, Whitney and I went shopping, so inevitable three grown women found the children's play things and felt the need to go take pictures! Shocking...kids toys are cushy...we were thinking they were hard, not to fun to play on, but oh-con-trair...they are all soft and plush like! Try it out...beware...they can be addicting

Logan...soakin' it up!

Logan has to be the prettiest place to spend your first fall away from home. I was missing seeing the leaves chance at home, staring at them over the Corn Stand, selling pumpkins, corn stalks and hay...they I realized..hey...Leaves change in Logan too! Campus is so pretty right now, I'm just soakin' it up before it's cold and I want to live in St. George! I really love it up here, I've met some really great people too! The Lord has a way of putting people in my path that I need! He always has, I've always been blessed with such great friends, and He has led me to them here in Logan too! I'm just so grateful for that!

These are 2 of my 3 roomies, Mandy and Megs! Can I just say...so great!!! We love watching movies, tv on dvd...since we are too cheap to go for cable! Our current fav; Veronica Mars...we're on the second season! So fab!
Well, happy Fall...All, man I'm such a Utahn!
