pumpkin and dinner

So last night When Ben got off work, he made an amazing dinner. Halibut oscur. It is a Halibut filet with crab and aspargus. It was super yummy.

After dinner even though it was midnight we craved pumpkins. He did the spider one and I did the bat. We didnt get a picture of both of us and the pumpkins cause we did not have a self timer on the camera. o-well. You can tell Ben's photo taking skills are off, he chopped off my head. lol.

Hey everyone,

Once again just staying busy working. I guess it is a busy time for having little babies. I guess if you think about it was babies delivered now are from end of Jan till to the being of Feb. It must have been a cold winter. lol.

Well two weekends ago, Ben and I got to go to the Real (our soccer team) game at the new stadium. I have not been to a soccer game before and I have to admit it was a good game. Kayc's work was doing a work party and he had extra tickets so Ben and I got to go. Cant wait to go again next year. What a game.

Last weekend Kayc and I took Alicea to a local trick or treating event downtown. Alicea was dressed as a Doctor. Super cute. She kept telling me that I was a nurse that helps doctors. How smart is she. Alicea was super shy and would not say trick or treat unless she was turned away from the person. She still had fun. This weekend Ben and I going to go to Kayc and Lizzie's house for a halloween pre-celebration. We are going to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday. Wow, her being 50 makes me feel old... Anyways we are going to eat some chili and go around the neighborhood trick or treating. Then Ben and I are going to his aunts house to say hi then off to Party. Ben has a really funny costume so it is should be fun.

Ben and I are going to crave pumpkins tonight. We will see who has better carving skills it might be me :)

Hope everyone has a great Halloween week. Enjoy the holiday.

Hey Everyone,

I know it has been awhile since the last blog, I have been super busy With work. I guess it is a busy time to have kids. If you think back 9 mo it is right between christmas and Valentines day :) I am still loving my job. I am getting along with all the people at work including the doctors. I sometimes struggle working 5 12 hour night shift, I feel as though I never get to see anyone, I am sleeping when everyone else is up living their life. My body is starting to get use to working long night shifts.

Ben and I got to go to the Utes vs Orgeon State game. Wow what a good game. As you can tell we won, look at the crazy crowd on the field. We could not rush the field because in the mist of celebration Ben jumped up on the bench and twisted his ankle so we are watching from above. That was a long walk home that night. LOL. All the boys in the background are Ben's friends. I was the only girl for some of the game. But no worries I fit right in.

Lizzie is loving being back at school. She is teaching in a rougher part of the city (glendale) which she finds more rewarding. She always has a good story to tell. I guess her third graders like to swear a lot. Hopefully with Lizzie as a teacher things can change. I have high hopes for her new job.

Alicea is getting so big. She talks so much and has started to memorize certain books, so now she reads the books to you. One of her favorites is "Hop on Pop." She is also learning how to tease you and knows how to be mean to her mom..Terrible twos..Good thing Lizzie has a lot of patience. Her favorite naughty thing to do is as soon as she gets down from the table before Kayc gets her hands washed she will run to the couch and try and wipe her dirty hands on the couch because Lizzie always tells her not too. So naugthy.

This year Alicea, Lizzie and I got to make Halloween sugar cookies. Which is our new tradition. Alicea did such a good job. She love the purple frosting too. Her favorite shape was a fish (not halloweenie) and a football for ben. That is all she kept saying a football for ben..Super cute. (pictures for the cookie day will be up soon, just waiting for Kayc to send them to me) Alicea was planning on being Dora for Halloween got the costume and all, but then she changed her mind and now wants to be a doctor. I will keep you posted on the final costume :) Ben this year is going to be the Burgerking King. I don't know if you have seen any of the burgerking commerials but it is almost scary. He of course thinks it is super funny. Boys will be Boys. I am still trying to think of a costume.

Well I better go take my nap before work. Hope everyone is enjoying this fall weather.

Love Katrina
