Good Friends

Because we all know I am a huge slacker-I am just now writing about our good friends who came to visit us in October. Ahem. We have missed living with the Skousens and as fate would have it, Geoff had to come to Arizona for an interview so we got to spend the week with them.  It happened to be a really hot week in Arizona(weird right...) so all our outdoor activities were limited.  I am so sad but we really only got one good picture of me and Alisha and it was at the swimming pool.

 Alisha and I were back row nursing buddies with a similar sense of humor. Ever since then we have been best friends.  Alisha is all sorts of Martha-e and because I need my hand held, she and I do fun projects together.  She taught me how to can food, blog, cook delicious food, take pictures, do crafty things and now she has got me(and Andrew) hooked on pinterest(shaking fist) We always have such a good time together!

 We took a little outing to papa-go park but it was 100 degrees so we didn't stay long but Henry had a blast as always.

 We tried our hand at making caramel apples

 It started out good.....

And this is what came out....don't laugh. They weren't our best work.  And they were rock hard. 

But we ate them anyway!

Alisha is an amazing photographer. As such I have stolen all of these pictures from her.  But she also offered to take me and Andrew's pictures.  Turns out, me and Andrew had some misunderstandings about the pictures and so by the time he got there it was almost dark. But, being the amazing photographer she is, she still managed to get some good pics.

 

We are so glad they came to visit and hope they come again.  It was so fun to have them around like old times-sniff sniff.

Halloween!

 In case you can't tell, I'm Olive Oyl and am cheating on Popeye with Indiana Jones

(He's so much hotter)

Henry wanted to be in the picture too but turned away at the last minute. He has to be a part of everything.

Andrew kept changing his mind on what he was going to be and put his awesome costume together in the last 2 hours before the party. We went to an ER work party with a bunch of drunk people-always entertaining.

And I made these homemade doughnuts-first time and they were amazing.  Alicia was my inspiration as she made these for me last year. Apple cider doughnuts-delicious.
