"Halloween"

We didn't have an official date this week, but it was busy! We had our Stevenson family Halloween party on Sunday. We made everyone dress up in order to get in, had yummy jack-o-lantern pizza for dinner, homemade rootbeer, LOTS of different desserts, and had a pumpkin carving contest. Our family (Dave & I) carved a big pumpkin with a huge mouth and teeth. Inside the pumpkin's mouth was a little baby pumpkin. Everyone had a blast and I think we will be doing it again! This is one of the cookies Rebecca and I made for the party.


On Tuesday we celebrated Tanner's first birthday. We had both families over for dinner (we went easy with hamburgers & hot dogs and salads) and then opened presents and did the whole cake & ice cream thing. Tanner was not sure at first about the cake, but he got into it and really made a mess!! I actually made two cakes on one big cake board, Tigger and Pooh. I can't believe he is one already! Time just flies by so fast!

Then last night we went trick-or-treating. Kind-of. Ok, not really at all. It was stormy and cold. Tanner won't eat the candy and I don't need to, so we decided to just stay home and hand out candy. He had a blast running to the door and seeing all the kids. We did take him to Grandma & Grandpa Stevenson's and to Rosemarie's. That was enough for all of us this year! He sure made a cute Tigger!

October Temple Trip

On Tuesday, we had our first pre-natal appointment! Everything looks good and the baby's heartbeat is strong! That is such a relief to hear! Later in the day, my mom watched Tanner for us so we could go to the Temple. It was a good session once again. And once again, I was a super slacker and didn't make a temple treat. I have got to be better!

"Pick a Letter"

Last night's date was called "Pick a Letter". I asked Dave in the morning to pick a letter. He picked "M". I kinda took the easy way out as far as the activity is concerned, a Movie. For dinner, I made Meatloaf, Macaroni salad, and Mozzarella sticks. Then I let him pick between the three movies we have that start with "M": Mulan, Mary Poppins, and Monsters Inc. Yep, all Disney! He chose Monsters Inc. We finished off the night by having Milk and cookies. (The picture is not the greatest, but here is our "M" dinner.)

Oops, We Missed a Week!

We missed doing a date night this week. We did however, go to dinner for Dave's birthday with my family. He chose Chic-fil-a. I thought it was great since it's not too expensive for the growing families and the kids all ate really well!
