Flagstaff Birthday Extravaganza 2009

In celebration of Alison's birthday we decided to break out the winter clothes and head to Flagstaff. One of Alison's co-workers has a house there and graciously let us stay there. We had such a fun time and it was so nice to get away from 90 degree weather!

On the drive up we couldn't wait to break into the cookie dough...let the party begin!

(Keep your eyes on the road Emily!)

We spent the weekend lounging, watching movies, playing games, talking, and....

Shopping in downtown Flagstaff....

Opening birthday presents and eating a lot of red velvet cake...


and eating...and eating...and eating!!!!

We also went to one of the Flagstaff singles wards with my old friend Bradly Clifford Fox

(for those that know him...get jealous! If you don't know him...get jealous!)

How to entertain yourself...

Trick-or-Treat

Pumpkin Carving

Kevin, Marti, Ali, Me, Staci, and Tim

Kevin hated pumpkin carving...until he thought of a better way!

Yep, he is using a SawAll (or whatever you call it!)...but don't worry he is from Pocatello, so that should explain everything!

Good Times!

Me and Mr. Pocatello himself. Real men don't smile!

I love this shot...it looks like the pumpkin is trying to eat the bowl of pumpkin guts!

(This was not staged! )

This was my pumpkin creation. It is cute in a creepy way!

Ward Halloween FHE

Me and John Long (a.k.a. Sweet J)

He loves marshmellows so I made him this cute cookie that looks like frankenstien.

My Monster Cookie

I thought this was the cutest idea.

We had so much fun making these little creatures...and then eating them of course!

Halloween Party

Snow White (allison), Sandra Dee (valerie), Witch (me), Marilyn Monroe (ali)
