Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, everyone on Jordan's side of the family was somewhere else, and same on my side, except my parents. So, we all decided to go down to the beach house and spend a few days. We ordered Thanksgiving dinner through Claim Jumper. It wasn't quite as good as our own home-cooked food, but it was still really good. We took our bikes to Newport the next day and a saw this beautiful sunset.

A Handmade Affair

The Handmade Affair was amazing! It was seriously so much fun. We had awesome vendors selling really great stuff. A lot of people came too! We were pleasantly surprised at the success of the night and can't wait to do another show in the spring. Here's some pictures of the unique handmade items that were for sell. If you missed out this time, make sure and look for an invitation for our April/May show.

Come and do some early holiday shopping, or just find some cool stuff for yourself! There's going to be a lot of great stuff... don't miss out!!

Trick-or-Treating

Halloween was so much fun this year! After carving pumpkins, then getting the kids costumes together (they were super-heroes), we had some friends and family come over for pizza and Trick-or-Treating. We went over to Spanish Trail, dropped our cars off at Jordan's parents' house, then took off for amazing house decorations and candy. Just about every house we went to gave out full size candy bars. The kids had a blast, but were definitely tired and exhausted by the end of the night. Full of candy and chocolate in the bellies, we went home, examined "the loot" and went to bed.

Pumpkin carving

For some reason, in our five years of marriage, and Trey's 3 years of life, this is the first time we have carved pumpkins for Halloween. We grew up doing it on our day off of school (Nevada Day) and were always fond of it, but have never made a point of doing it until now. Trey thought is was kind of gross, which it is, but he enjoyed it anyways. He really liked getting to help me trace and cut-out a face for his tiny little "Trey size" jack-o-lantern. Here's a few pictures of our first time, family pumpkin carving.

Road Show

Our stake put on road shows this year and our Pinnacle ward had an 80's themed skit about "fallen rock stars". Our y.w. and y.m. did really well and had a lot of fun performing too. However, one of the best parts of our road show was not the kids at all. It was the adults who made up "the band". Jordan participated and played the drums. He was so very excited to do so and was even more excited when he was able to dress the part of an 80's rocker. Here is Jordan and Brian (who played the bass guitar) in all their glory. (The funny thing is, after the youth seeing Jordan and Brian in their costumes and being very impressed, one girl asked me, "What, did Bro. Bunker find old stuff in his closet?" FYI: We are not THAT old, okay!!??)
