Halloween

Every year for Halloween we have a Fleming Family Party, and this year Alan's dad was in charge of it and he assigned Alan and his brother to put it together. So were able to make it pretty successful. This year we had it on friday, Oct. 30. It was at Alan's brother's house and we had food, games, face painting, and a pinata. Everyone usually dresses up and we have contest as to who has the best costume, most original, cutest and scariest. Overall, we had a really fun time! For our costume we were the rubix cube. Alan's brother teases me about doing the rubix cube so we made costumes for fun. I took a box and painted Alan's to be the one that was all jumbled up and mine was the finished product. It was pretty funny!

Then on Halloween Alan and I went with my father and mother in law and Alan's brother and wife and their son to Cheesecake Factory and then back to my in laws house for some trick or treating. My niece and nephews were able to go to some house to get candy. It was fun to see them enjoy walking to houses and get candy!

Disneyland

First we had breakfast with Chip N' Dale

Then we went to Disneyland....

When we first got into disneyland we saw Pinocchio so we had to get a picture with him. We were told after we took a picture with him that it was really rare to see him out taking pictures, and signing autographs with people. So that was pretty cool to see.

After taking a picture with Pinocchio we went and rode some rides. The first ride we went on was Dumbo.My niece and I rode together on the dumbo ride, and she really seemed to enjoye the ride..

After Dumbo we went on Mr. Toad's ride, and my ALL time favorite ride Peter Pan! After Those two rides we went over and rode the New Finiding Nemo ride. It was really cool. You went down into a submarine and saw and heard a little bit of the nemo movie. The ride was a little to long, but it was cute.

After the "Finding Nemo" ride then a few of us went and rode the go-cart ride. The kids really enjoyed that ride beacuse they give them fake Drivers licences.

Then after riding the go-carts we thought it would be fun to take the kids over to watch the 3-d movie "Honey I shrunk the Audience." The kids got scared but the adults loved it! :)

After watching the movie we headed over to Mickey's house to say "hello!"

By this time we were all getting tired and wanted to say our energy for the next day so we went on the tea cups and then headed to the Hotel.

When we got to the hotel we took a nap, and then Berne and Cindy offered to take the kids so we could go ride the adult rides and have some fun on our own. We rode space mountain (my 2nd favorite ride at disneyland), star tours, and Indiana Jones. We waited for space mountain for 90 mins!! I had never been on Star tours before it was actually a cool ride. Then we when we got back to the hotel we went to bed!!

The next morning we woke up and went back to disneyland

The first thing we did was head over to where you meet the princesses. The princesses are very kind to the little kids and actually spent time talking to them. My niece brought Cinderella back her wond because she left it at her house when she came to her birthday party :) It was really cute!

Then we saw more Characters......

That night was a parade and fireworks so between the parade and fireworks we rode the buzz light year ride.

The next morning, Alan and I woke up early to go the Disneyland before it even opened. We were able to enter the park 1 hour before everyone else. We were able to ride space mountain, the manahorn, snow white, and Pinocchio, and the manahorn again because the park even opened.

Then when the park opened we wrote Pirates of the Carribean! Then we went over to california adventures and rode screaming, and soaring over California. OH my goodness if you get the chance to do Screamin' oh man .... do it! It was sooo scary but an amazing roller coaster.

Then we were done for the day. I was done being at disneyland, and so we went back to the hotel room took naps, and then went out to eat and then went to bed for the night :)

The next morning we woke up and had breakfast and headed home. We really had a fun time. I thought with there being 17 of us and Yes, we did stay together most of the time we did do a lot and saw a lot.

Laughlin

This last weekend we were able to go to laughlin and get away for a little bit. We just decieded randomly one night that we would go. My sister in law told us that she had a thing that allowed her to get two free rooms and my brother in law had one which allowed him to get two free rooms, so we would all get our rooms for free so we went! It was my husbands brother and his wife, and his two sister and their husbands and his uncle and aunt! There were ten of us that went so it was even funner because we were all together playing around!We stayed at the river palm! It was a really nice trip! We went shopping at the mall, got our toes done (thanks phil) and we walked around a little bit and played a few games and went to a comedy club, I would never go to the comedy club again...it was an old guy that kept saying the same jokes over and over again...never again! Here are a few pictures of us at the mall....

Happy Birthday Alan!!

This week we were able to celebrate Alan's birthday. On monday night we were able to go to my sisters and have dinner and birthday cake with my side of the family. My mom and dad were in town so they wanted to wish him a happy birthday before they left. Then on Thursday which was his actually birthday I got him a new pair of church/work shoes and we went out to dinner. Alan's dad treated us to Black Angus!! Yummy! Then tonight we are going to Peter Pipper Pizza to celebrate his and his brother in laws birthday. I guess in this family we celebrate birthdays all week long :)

Here are a few pictures of Alan when he was younger.....

His mom wrote in one of his books that he was one of her sweetest babies. He still is a sweetheart!

Alan loves to play basketball. Any chance he gets to play he is there! He played since he was a little boy. He started out playing for the YMCA and then played through high school.

Alan served his mission in the New England States ( Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Mass.)

Just a few days after Alan got home from his mission we started dating... ever since we have been together. We dated from November got engaged in March and married in June.

I just wanted to Say Happy Birthday!!! Love you!!

Alan has always wanted to put granite countertops in our kitchen so we finally did it, only because we found someone that gave us a very good deal. So this saturdy we got the granite countertops put into our house. It makes our kitchen look so much nicer and we made the island a little bigger.

Utah Trip

On Thursday right after Alan got off of work we were able to leave for utah. My sister just had her baby and they were blessing her in church on sunday so we needed to be up there for her blessing. When we left on thursday it was Alan and I and my niece and nephew and my two sisters in the car. We drove up to my parents house who live 6 and 1/2 hours away and slept for the night and then in the morning Alan and I left early to go see his Aunt and Uncle who lived 41/2 hours away from my parents in the Provo area and then hang out with one of his mission buddies who lives by Brigham City area.

When we arrived at Alan's aunt and uncles house on Friday we went on a picnic. We went and got Alan's uncle from work and then headed to a park that was only a few minutes away. It was really nice to see Alan's aunt, uncle and his three cousins. The cousins are getting bigger and bigger every time we see them. We aren't able to see them very often so it was nice to have a picnic with them, and enjoy talking with them.

At the park : Uncle Robert, Timothy, Spencer, Emma, Tasha, Alan, and Lena

After we left the picnic we headed to my sisters house who lives near Ogden. We stopped at her house to see the new baby and to drop off our stuff. After we unloaded we headed to the brigham city area to see Alan's mission buddy. We went out to a little mexican food place and went back to their house and hung out for a while and then went to his parents house for a little game of volleyball. We really had a fun time hanging out with him and his wife.

On saturday morning we woke up and went shooting. My brother in law and his brother have a few guns, and my dad and brother and some too so we all went out shooting. It was really fun! It had been a while since I had been out shooting. We shot a .22, .17, 45m and a 357. My brother, dad, brother in law, and Alan's mission buddy enjoyed shooting clay pigeons with their shot guns while the rest of us shot the other guns. We also drove my brother in laws quad around. The best part about shooting guns is that my brother kept shooting dragon flies as they would pass by the fields. It was really funny!

Then when we got home we had a little birthday party for my nephew who just turned 1. It was really fun to see him eat his cake and open presents. Then we played some cards and went to bed.

Sunday morning we woke up and started getting stuff ready for luncheon that would happen after my niece's blessing. We went to church and my brother-in-law blessed Taylynn. My dad, brother and Alan were able to stand in the circle. It was so nice to hear Clint (my brother in law) give his daughter a blessing. Then after church we went back to my sister house and had a luncheon and then after the luncheon we drove back to my parents house who lived 5 hours toward our house and then monday morning we woke up bright and early and came back home!!
