Oh blog, there you are! You seem to have gotten buried under a bunch of other activities in life but I'm here to brush off the dust now. Well let's play my most favorite blog game! Catch-up!
Vikings was a bust for Halloween :S The funding and timing was just not there unfortunately, so we settled on some last minute costumes. There's always next year though. :) We did have a fun pre-Halloween weekend. We watched Season's (long winded) dance performance then went to the annual party at Clint's. I was an 80's dancer and Jake was a ... ghost? Reaper? I dunno, just something scary looking! Silly me forgot my camera though, so we had to steal this photo from Devin who took it with the Hipstamatic app on his phone.
And as I do every
year, I carved a pumpkin. This year we did it over at Jake's parents
house, though he didn't come. As usual, Evan just had a fun time hanging
out with his aunts/grandparents. Here's my finished product:
Baby Evan ended up being a pumpkin (I know, typical) but he didn't seem to mind. :) I was going to get a candy corn costume, but Jake said no because he thinks candy corn is disgusting. I did have my camera on hand to snap up some shots of our cutest lil punkin who is now 8 months old! :) He has 6 teeth and already weighs 20 lbs!! Haven't figured out sleeping through the night still, but I think its not far off. Had our first baby illness, Croup, right before Halloween. We got through it just fine. He's walking around furniture like a pro. We're thinking first steps around Christmas. I can't believe how fast it goes!
I have been enjoying working in the Pharmacy at Walmart, but it is too far (in Sandy) and the pay is too little. So I am going back to work at Sorensen. It is an easy job (at least it was when I worked there last. Hope it hasn't changed much) and it will pay $2.20 more per hour and is a lot closer to home. I'll still only be part time, I'll only work 4 hour shifts 5 days which is a lot easier with baby then working 8 hour shifts every Sunday and every other Friday.
Some sad news, Grandma Millie Harrison passed away on 11/3/11 at 87 years old. She had 4 children, 12 grandchildren, and 25 great-grandchildren. (Evan was #24) Its weird to think about, I now only have one living grandparent. Its only been about a year and a half since Gpa Harrison died. But next month it will have been 7 years since Grandpa Bear has been gone. I'm sure that Evan got to spend time with both his great-grandpas before he came down to us. I'm glad that Grandma got to hold Evan before she passed. In fact we had just went to visit her in the hospital maybe a month and a half ago. She was always saying how big he was every time she saw him, and though she kept forgetting what we named him I know she loved him, as she loved us all and we'll miss her.
Some happy news, Season and Mike are engaged and she and Aurelia moved out of the parents house (Mom is thrilled.) Speaking of houses, Mom and Dad are having fun planning their dream house, though the swimming pool and theater room may have to wait... ;) As long as they put the apartment in the basement so my Bean will move home will make me a happy camper! Bean and Josh are coming for the holidays from Dec 24th thru Jan 2nd!! I'm already excited. Well dunno what else to update hopefully I'll get back into the blogging swing of things! Until next time...

Jake is almost done with his first semester of classes. He has been doing very well in all his subjects and I'm so proud of him! He doesn't seem to get too stressed over projects or homework. At least not this semester, we'll see once he's in math if it lasts!
