I am starting a new blog that I have wanted to start for a really long time, but I am finally, sort of, getting to it!! One of my favorite things to do is cook and bake and especially try new recipes out. This blog will be full of recipes of any kind. I wanted to post it here to see if any of you are interested in being added to this new blog so that we can all go on and share recipes. Please let me know if you do, I already have a lot of addresses, so just let me know and then I can add you! Thanks!
By the way, I am only leaving my blog non-private for a couple more days, so anyone who cares to check out my blog every now and then, please let me know. I have been so excited with all of you who want to stay connected...it really does mean a lot to me!

Elections
All I can say is I am so glad that the elections are finally over! It was way too long of a process and even though it did not turn out the way I wanted it to, life will go on. At least I still have a wonderful family, the gospel, a home, Justin's job so I can stay home, food to eat, and the list goes on...
Yesterday my friend Jen babysat Taylor and Levi, so that I could take Corbin to vote with me. This was our conversation before going...
Mommy: Corbin, do you want to go on a date with me.
Corbin: What do you do on a date?
Mommy: You can go to dinner, go see a movie, or go vote.
Corbin: Why are you going to go vote?
Mommy: We need to go vote for a new President.
Corbin: Why, did President Monson die?
Thank goodness, no.

Sorry...will you send me your address
I watched the news last night and there was a segment on blogging! Go to ksl.com to find out more information. It is just sad what people will do, how pathetic can you be? Anyway, I feel like I want to go private now for a little more protection. Please send me your e-mail address. Thanks everyone, and sorry
Happy Halloween
Here are some pics from Halloween! It was lots of fun to have Mandi, Jon, Hunter, Jaina, Alayna, Jeff, Alisa, and Jerry over for a party! Of course, Corbin was a pirate and Taylor was superman! My sister-in-law made an awesome Black Widow costume that I got to wear...sorry no pictures. Justin held Levi most of the time - so he said he was a mom. This year has been my favorite Halloween so far, the kids were so excited and they had so much fun getting ready for our party! We found some really cute ideas from familyfun.com - great website.
Pretty scary witch. I thought we needed to add something besides candy to our menu!
These were my favorite thing...thanks to Mandi for helping me out with this, she did most the work! They are mini caramel apples, except we didn't use caramel, we used melted peanut butter chips and metled chocolate! They were so yummy!
Can you tell what these are? The boys helped me put the gummy lifesavers and M&Ms on. They thought that it was so cool and so gross!

Alayna asked Corbin what she should be for Halloween. He told her to be a fairy...so she was! Isn't that so sweet? Corbin told Jeff that he should be a pirate with him. ARRR, matey!
On Monday, I did my grocery shopping and found these costumes half off! The boys were soooo excited and they have been playing Knight in Shining Armor for the last 24 hours!! We have the book Sleeping Beauty and so Corbin, of course, has to act out the book. He said that he was Prince Phillip and I was Princess Aurora, such a sweetheart!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! Now I really look forward to Thanksgiving and I've been loving the Christmas music!!....I just love this time of year, it's the best!!!

High School Memories
I found this great post off of Megan's blog and it looked like so much fun!
1. Did you marry someone from your high school? No
2. Did you car pool to school? Car pooling was the funnest part! I believe it was usually Cami, Shannon, Melissa, and Megan. We would blast up the radio and sing along! Ahhh, memories
3. What kind of car did you have? Geo Prism…the coolest car ever! It was originally Mandi’s (we had some good memories with her being the owner), but then I was lucky enough to get it and had even more great memories! The time me and Cami were driving home from work and I got pulled over right by the tabernacle because my dumb brake lights were out (they were always out!!!) As soon as we pulled over, Cami realized she didn’t have her seatbelt on (I can’t remember if I did) so she hurried and threw it on. When the cop walked up he said, "nice try"!!
The other time I got pulled over (for the brake light), Shannon, Annika, and Dustin were with me and we had just done our doughnut run at Kent and were driving on Mainstreet. I was eating my doughnut while I was driving and had frosting on my lips when the cop walked up…humiliating. The cop asked if we were having a good time!
I loved that car! I have so many other memories, but I won’t bore you!
4. What kind of car do you have now? A sweet Toyota Sienna
5. It's Friday night...where are YOU?(then) Driving around in the geo with our hot chocolate and then heading back to the Jones for our late night talks on Shannon’s bed!
6. It's Friday night..where are you? (now) Watching a fun kid movie with the boys or else watching a cool movie with Justin. We usually love relaxing and just hanging out at home on Friday nights, it’s the best!
7. What do you do now? I am lucky enough to stay home with three handsome boys!
8. Were you a party animal? Well, not really. It depended on where I was. School, no. YWs, an animal!!
9. Were you considered a flirt? Are you kidding me? When I liked a boy, I totally avoided him. I even did it to Justin, and I just about lost my chance to be with him!
10. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? I did choir in Jr. High.
11. Did you get suspended/expelled? No.
12. Can you sing the fight song? Nope, but I can hum the tune.
13.Who was/were your favorite teacher(s)? Well, of course I have to say Mrs. Packer, she’s the funnest, nicest, sweetest teacher ever and she never gets mad at her students or gets embarrassed in front of the class room! I love that teacher!! I also enjoyed Mrs. Stolworthy, Mr. Bishop, and the Seminary Teachers were pretty fun!
14. Where did you sit during lunch? Cami and I sat in our cars in the McDonalds drive through…good times! Also, Cami, Shannon, Megan, and I would go to Taco Bell! There was this one time we went there and I was driving so I had to order the food. I was just getting over a cold and so I sounded like wheezy from Toy Story. When I first pulled up, I could barely talk. The poor lady taking the order could only hear a bunch of high school girls laughing in the background!
15. What was your school's full name? Box Elder High School
16. What was your school mascot? A bee
17. If you could go back and do it again, would you? No, but I would love to sit back and watch all of my favorite memories! If I were to go back, I would try and be more talkative in some of my classes. I was really shy if I was in a class where I didn’t know too many people, if I had good friends in my class, then I would talk a lot! But honestly, the person I got to hang out with the most is now my sister-in-law, so why would I go back!!
18. What do you remember most about graduation? Not much. But I do remember the all night party, I thought that I was so cool to stay up all night! Then I slept the morning away and when I woke up I was pretty sad because it was all over. I didn’t know what was in store for the coming years and I felt like my childhood was over. Little did I know, I had this to look forward to!!!
19.Who did you go to prom with Sr yr? I didn’t go to Sr. Prom, but for Jr. Prom I wouldn’t have gone if it wasn’t for Jen. She knew I wanted to go to Prom, so she arranged for her brother Jake, to go with me, isn't she the best. Who would do that for their little 16 year old sister-in-law? And I was able to be in Cami’s group!!
20. Did you have fun at Prom? It was fun, although I felt bad because Jake convinced me to get Shrimp and I had only a few bites of it, I couldn’t stomach it. So I felt so bad that I wasted the rest of it! Another memory was when I was getting ready for prom, one of my contacts ripped a little and it was my last pair. I was determined not to wear my glasses (ugly!!) so I still put the contact in. By the end of the night, my eye was blood shot!
21. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom (Senior Ball) with? I haven’t seen him in a while, but I talk to his sister, brother-in-law, nephews, and nieces all the time!!!
22. Are you planning on going to your 20 year reunion? If we had one, I would consider it, if Cami went!
23. Do you still talk to people from school? Mandi, Cami, Cindi, Shannon! Also, we have a Brigham City girls blog that we keep in touch with all the girls we grew up with!
1. Did you marry someone from your high school? No

I tag anyone who wants to do this, I would love to read about everyone's experiences in high school. I also need a good laugh...Tyson, Landon, Annika...
I just love this guy!!!
Levi, has been such a joy to me. I just can't believe that I can love another boy so much!!! This stage of babies lives goes way too fast - I have been soaking up every minute, but I still can't believe that he is 2 1/2 months old. Levi has been such a smily baby, especially first thing in the morning! On Sunday, I had to go to a meeting in the morning and Justin said that Levi was smiling at him for 20 minutes! My favorite part about his smile is the look in his eyes!
Levi had his 2 month appointment 2 weeks ago. He weighs 12.2 lbs. and he's 23.5 inches long. He is in the 75 - 90 percentile...my babies, that high??!!
I took this picture when he woke up this morning - don't you just LOVE those cheeks and wrists!
He smiles so much for his brothers, too! Taylor loves getting right in his face to get him to smile, it's a bit much for Levi, but he will still smile!
One of the best things about Levi is his sleeping habit! He has been sleeping through the night for almost a month now! For me, this is amazing! Corbin didn't sleep through the night until he was one and Taylor was about 6 months! Levi usually goes to sleep around 10 o'clock and wakes up between 5 and 7, then we will go back to sleep for a couple more hours. Thank little Levi!!

Monica and Landon's Halloween Party! Thanks for the great party - we had so much fun! This was the first time that we got dressed up for a Halloween party the whole time we've been married! Taylor has been so excited to be Superman for the longest time. When you ask him who he is going to be for Halloween he says, "Superman, da na na naa!!" We tried to convince him to be a pirate with us, but he wasn't going for it. Corbin is totally into swords and guns, so being a pirate is perfect for him! Thankyou Jessie for letting us borrow this outfit...it actually fits! Levi had his shots the day before, so he was getting some much needed sleep most of the time, but we did have a little bandana around his head...cute baby pirate!
My dad went to a lot of trouble to make this clever costume. I think only one person there got what he was. The rest of us had not seen the movie Signs. Landon thought he was an antenna. I wish I had a picture of my mom's costume, it was awesome. She is quite the witch, but the scary thing is her cackle...way too good!
Hands down...the best costume!! Cami had Sarah Pallin down so perfect and Tyson didn't make a bad McCain! They are the funniest couple! I could just sit back and listen to them for hours!
Hermoine Granger. I just have to say that this quote from Jen's blog says it all:
Abby- "I own sarcasm Mom, I didn't say you could borrow it."
10/1/08 (She owns sassy too.)
Can you believe that bite??
Taylor has the right idea!
Way to go Justin!
Chomp!!
Corbin and Taylor have some of the best Aunts and Uncles! Espcially Alisa and Jerry! They have been taking Corbin and Taylor one at a time and doing a party with them. This is what they did last week. Taylor's pumpkin is a silly face and Corbin drew a face on his!
We went to Gardner Village with my friend Jen and her two kids Jimmy and Iris. We had lots of fun! Isn't Iris adorable in her outfit. Whenever Iris would come and walk by me, so many people would stop and say, "oh, your little girl is adorable - I just love her outfit." I wish I could claim her! The boys had so much fun seeing all of the witches and pumpkins!
Taylor and Iris dancing to the Halloween music that was on.
Here is Jen, Jimmy, and Iris! Are they not the cutest? Jen has been such a great friend to me and we have lots in common - especially frisbee and aerobics!! I think one of the funnest things is for us to watch Iris and Taylor to play together - they are sooo cute together! Whenever we get together to play, those two run off and play by themselves! Jimmy is such an adorable baby, I think I have only heard him cry two times.
