I have a new obsession. It is online shopping. Yes, I can lie in my bed in my pajamas AND SHOP! I discovered this recently (even though I have been working for an online skincare retailer for almost a year now-hmmm, go figure!) and it gets even better!
You can google coupon codes for bukoo savings!! Yes siree!
I came across this website (you can find in my list of favorite websites) called Couponseven.com. Holy smokes! I found a coupon code for 30% OFF my purchase... That's right THIRTY PERCENT OFF!! I got Carter a hand-held educational gaming system and I saved like 50 bucks! Oh I am so stoked! Michael, I am sure you are just beaming right now with my Frugality!!

Carter and I had our pictures taken at a orchard in Provo. The talented Wendy of Bluelily Photography did an INCREDIBLE job with Carter and managed to snap a plethora of amazing pictures in just 20 minutes- even with a wardrobe change half-way through!
I am so excited! I just received the proofs today! Unfortunately, I can't post the pictures to get help deciding which ones to choose (really I have about 30 to choose from!). But, Wendy did put some on her blog so I will post them here. Enjoy!

Congratulations!
To Mom & Michael!
I had the wonderful opportunity to be able to attend their Temple Sealing. It was an amazing experience. I haven't sobbed like that in a while!
You two are a incredible example of what a marriage should be- I can only hope to find someone to share that kind of love with!
I love you!

We LOVE Halloween!
Wow! Halloween 2008 was extra exciting! We had lots of different festivities going on this year and we barely made it through! By 10:00 on Halloween night, I was practically comatose.
This was the first year Carter picked out his costume. I was slightly nervous at first at the thought of him picking out his own costume- it left me feeling a little out of control! I have always dressed him up in the cutest, cuddliest costumes I can get my hands on... so what does he pick? The most un-cuddly costume ever... BATMAN! I'm not gonna lie... He was ADORABLE! See for yourself!
We started out the week with our Ward Halloween Party, which somehow I got roped into being in charge of the face painting. The kids loved that! I did have one boy ask me to paint a penguin. That was kind of weird. Funny story though- Carter was hanging out with this little boy from the ward and the little boy asked me if I was Carter's sister. I told him that I was his mom and be looked me up and down with a disgusted look on his face and said, "I have never seen a mom that looks like you." Not sure if that was a compliment or not!
Then the night before Halloween, Carter helped me make my costume. He got way into it saying things like, "Oh Mama. It's beautiful." and "You will be the cutest paper doll ever!"
Halloween morning, I woke up at 5:00am to get in my costume for work then I dropped Carter at school at 6:30am and went to work. I left work at 10:00 to go watch Carter in his school parade. Unfortunately, my camera battery died so I couldn't get any pictures of that. Went back to work where we had a fun Halloween lunch (soup in breadbowls- yum!) and had a costume contest... and GUESS WHAT?! I won!! I never win anything! I won Best Costume. It was pretty exciting! My favorite costume by far was Waldo (AKA Dan the Man). I tried to work for a little bit after that but I could barely contain my excitement. Then we were able to invite our kids to come trick or treat at work. It was so fun! Carter came and was loving how easy it was to get all that candy! We did see Flash along the way so we had to get a quick picture of a couple members of the Justice League!
We went home and met Carter's dad for a little trick or treating around the neighborhood and then we headed to Dad's for a Halloween spread. I love that family tradition! Seriously, its one of my favorites! Dad, you are gonna be hosting that one for a long time to come! We ate good food, talked, laughed, had an all-out wrestling match with all the neices and nephews on the front lawn. That was hilarious! Andrea and Jayson didn't dress up for the first time in years- so disappointing! I have a vague memory of Jayson in spandex and a 'fro and Andrea with incredible facial hair and a kilt! They usually are the King and Queen of Halloween. Well, maybe next year, huh guys? And to finish of the night... there was the Mullet. Stay tuned for a future post on that one.

6 Weird Quirks...
Only 6? Really?
1. In my pantry, all of my cans have to be labels facing forward. It is a sickness that is deeply rooted in my 'ol Robyn Todd days!
2. I cannot sleep without moisturizer on my face and lotion on my feet. But hairy legs, NO PROBLEMO! Sorry, TMI.
3. All blinds must be closed at my house at dusk. I don't like the feeling of people potentially looking in at me- Like I am an animal in a cage.
4. Locking the doors. And relocking the doors. I can have my Dad to thank for instilling that one in me!
5. I have to go to sleep in a fully made bed... so if I didn't make my bed that morning after waking up, I have to make it all, and then climb in and tuck myself into bed.
6. I have 6 pillows on my bed, but only one I use. I cannot sleep on the same pillowcase more than twice. I sleep on one side the first night, then flip it over the second night. Then I will replace it with a new pillowcase. You can bet I have a plethora of pillowcases in my linen box!
PEOPLE! Sleeping on a dirty pillowcase will cause your skin to break out! No joke!
As you can tell, I have quite the bedtime routine!
I tag Mom, Angie and Amee!
p.s. Andrea, I loved your stache admission!

They were married on Wednesday, October 3rd at a beautiful property located in Mountain Green.
I love you Dad! And I am so happy for the both of you!

Top Model
On Saturday, Andrea and I got our hands on Michael's camera. This is the result:
And of course, we had to do some group shots:
We truly have been blessed with impressive photogenic talent. Should I say "Thanks Mom!" or "Thanks Dad!"?
