Presenting Thing 1 & Thing 2













Last night was the wonderful halloween party that Jenni Miller puts on, and it was a lot of fun. The theme this year was famous couples or duos, and you had to have a skit to present who you were. So Trav and I have been thinking for some time and were going to be Danny and Sandy off of grease and sing summer lovin (trav just wanted to dye his hair black again) but i decided that plastic tight pants and high heels all night just didn't sound all that fun. So we went with Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the Dr. Suess books. Which also made it easy for our skit all we did was read a few pages from cat in the hat. It turned out great. I searched every store for blue wigs or even wigs that stuck straight up, but it was hopeless. So i finally just got blonde movie star wigs and made them work. I first used jello to get them to stick up, and i couldn't find blue so i used lime and my hands are still green, then i hung them upside down to dry and Trav spray painted them blue, wow don't they look great. One problem was i think they were meant for only girls heads, because Trav's was pretty tight. Then for the uniforms, well we bought pants from walmart, and then finally on thursday we found long red underwear at Cal's, but the trouble didn't end there. We got home and i pulled mine out of the package (which i now can't return them) and they were a youth size. Wow, they were tight, so I had to get another pair. Anyways it all worked out and we had a great time and everyone was very creative and had great costumes. Nobody knew who we were for a while, so Trav thought that was hilarious, and thanks to Doug Trav decided we better wear our red pants over our red underwear. Happy Halloween everyone!!







Before:



I also wanted to post the new improvement in our cute farm house. It had these old light switched and outlets, and i have been bothering Trav to change them because they were so old and loud. If you were to turn on a light in the back bed room you could here it click back by the back door, and the outlets were all just 2 hole outlets instead of three ( i don't know what you call them), except for for a few, which is a problem with most plugs now days. Anyways the new addition looks great and is very appreciated. Trav does start work on Monday at Rain for Rent in IDaho Falls which will be so wonderful, but i have enjoyed having him home to do all these honeydos that have finally got done. I think he is already sick of the phrase we need it for the baby:) Anyways they are so nice!!

I love that you guys were thing one and thing two! Hilarious. Chad and I are into halloween so he loved your costumes too. I think this Thursday for lunch would work out great. Do you have Elizabeth and Jess's numbers. I think I might have Elixabeth's still. Just write me or call me either way and that'll be awesome. Take care Hailee!

p.s. when do you guys find out what you're having?

jayne said...

Hailee--You are too cute! Your costumes are perfect. I can't believe you are old enough to get married. I think the last time I saw you you were like 12. Where the heck have you been hiding?! If I come to Idaho this summer I want to check out your cute farm house and meet your husband.

jayne said...

Wait--I just read Vandi's comment...are you PREGNANT?! Now I feel really out of the loop. My mom hasn't been keeping me up on the family very well, obviously!

Awesome costumes! We are sad we had to miss it! The outlets look great. I can really appreciate those because that is exactly what our house had when we moved in. We are still replacing some! And i know what you mean about how loud they are when you turn them on. Our bathroom switch was JUST like that! How funny! It made me laugh!

Nice costumes! I am really glad my dad talked Trav into putting his pants over the underwear! That would have been a sight! The outlets look great! Tell Trav hi. We miss all of you, but we will see you in a couple of months! YEAH!!!

Now that sounds like a lot of work for the wigs. Persistence like that will pay off in parenting! :)

Celebrating our 1 year anniversary!!

I couldn't believe that we have really been married one year already. Trav and I decided to save some money and just do something close to home, and save and do a trip or whatever later. I just waited to see what he would plan and he was hoping i would do it of course. So we both went to work on Monday, July 21st, and when i got home he came in from the farm and said get ready we are going to eat. It was so fun we went up to Island Park (which is the same distance as going to Idaho Falls but much prettier) and ate dinner at the Trout Hunter. It was so good, we recommed it. Then Trav took me on a tour to see some of the cabins he helped wire this winter, which was good to finally see where all those late nights were spent. Then we took the Mesa Falls way home. What a beautiful night. The falls were so green and beautiful and the sunset was amazing over the farm fields and mountains. It was so nice to just spend some quality time together and not focusing on work or other stresses. The other pictures are of the day before. My mom bless her heart saved the top of our wedding cake and brought it up to us. So we popped open a little bubbly and enjoyed some of that yummy cake that we only got one bite of on our wedding day. It was so fun, and Trav was sick after, either because he ate so much or because it was a year old.
What a wonderful 1st year it has been. I love Trav so much more each day and look forward to celebrate many more years. And all those people that told us the 1st year was the hardest well i hope you are right, because if that is true then i look forward to the rest, because i loved every minute we have had together. Travis is so good to me, and works so hard at everything he does. Marriage has created in me a larger appreciation and understanding for our Heavenly Fathers love for us, because of the plan that he has created for us to be together forever. I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!
