Oh the Fun We Have!!

Isn't she adorable?

sorry. I have no child. so I use my Motherly excitedness on my niece. she's flipping adorable though so i have a real excuse.

So Drew had his Mission reunion on Thursday night so we went down to salt lake to go to that and for about an hour i was able to go visit my family! I haven't seen my mom and grandma for ages and it felt so so so good just to sit in my old house and talk.

They actually gave me some news the week before they actually got a dog!

my mom's aunt's neighbour had him but they weren't home often enough to let him out so they decided to give him away. my mom being a stay at home mother has plenty of opportunities to let him out agreed to take him!

His name was toby but seeing as how that's my little brother's name that had to change.

so meet Rusty.

He's a shitzu and is so freaking cute! funny looking as all of his breed are, but still adorable. He picked up on my inner love right away and wouldn't stay away from me and drew! so so cute!

so we decided to take mini family photos. but i took drew's and he took mine :)

I love this dog already.

Well after an hour of playing with him and watching him run around and around and around we headed off to the mission reunion!

Drew had so much fun and it was crazy how many people were there! I got to meet his Mission President who actually was called to be a member of the 70 a bit after drew got home!
maybe some of you remember the talk he gave in confrence back in april of 2009
he was the one who gave the talk that mentioned the GPS :)
he's a good guy.
Plus drew got to see a ton of old mission buddies! A bunch of people didn't come though since it was on a thursday so he was bummed about that but he did love spending time with the guys he did know!
and like he puts it... now he has 2 new xbox live friends ha ha
I also met the wifeof elder stott when drew and i were first dating and she was about to pop with baby:) since then obviously she's had her adorable daughter Abigail and oh my heavens was she funny! she tottered around in her adorable dress and captured the hearts of every one there!

I actually ran into a few cute people from school and Jessica Reese and I actually talked about Abigail's dress and how they should make the baby clothes (the cute stuff) in adult sizes. I mean seriously I would hands down wear this dress!!

Later on in the week. I believe it was Friday. We Decided to make cookies! so i called up my mom and got the sugar cookie recipie that i love and we made haloween cookies. Drew's now taken the remaining to work but we brought them to our neighbours a few doors down. they have 2 little girls that are always sitting at the window so everytime we leave or come home, or even take out the garbage they're just there waving :)

so we made cookies for them!

here's my professional rolling and cutting job

and with our combined efforts i think the cookies turned out pretty good looking!

although the witches DO look like they have a moustache instead of it just being their mouth...

confrence was amazing. can i just throw that in there?

I love confrence. and although i've had a bit of a hard time getting used to the fact that

Thomas S. Monson is our prophet not just an appostle, I'm warming up to him more and more every day!

Much love!

(and warm fuzzies)
