Friday night we had a girls craft night and made these cute Christmas advent calendars. We used mini-muffin tins and for each day in December up to Christmas-Eve you look behind the number and find a scripture and and activity to do on that day, and maybe even a little treat! It's still not completely finished. I still need to punch holes in the muffin tin and tie ribbon to it so I can hang it on the wall. After making this I'm really starting to get excited for Christmas time. I'm so excited for when we have our own kids to do activities like this with and start our own traditions.

Murder at the Juice Joint
Our friends Paul and Tonii hosted quite an amazing murder mystery party the weekend before Halloween. It was a 20's gangster/ mob theme and the scene was a Chicago local hot spot, the Juice Joint. Those attending were Hollywood film directors, actresses seeking the big screen, local law enforcement, mobsters, local political celebrities among others.
Here are the crafty party favours and prizes
You could win a prize if you guessed the murder correctly.
Or if you gained the most wealth (bribery, stealing and gambling are all encouraged)
Of if you were the most dramatic in your character.
Some of the grub, as well as the attendees.

Turner/Anderson 2nd Annual Karlee's Birthday Hike
Every year since last year the Turners and the Andersons go hiking on October 10th to celebrate Karlee's birthday. This year was no different, except maybe a little more chilly! If you remember last years pictures, we were sweating in our shorts and t-shirts. This year, well not so much. We drove up American Fork Canyon for this hike, way past Tibble Fork Reservoir.
Here is the proud new papa of this cute (at the time) 6 week old. Babies first hike.
Like I said, it was a bit colder than last year. Yep, we ARE hiking in snow!
The views were amazing!
Cute new family!

West Yellowstone
...... Just kidding... I stayed in the car while the real troopers took care of this crazy. We were on our way in no time and then about about a mile down the highway we pulled off for fuel. Not more then 15 mins later the van that we had just pulled over not more then 20 mins earlier was fueling up next to us. Go figure, he must have just been tired or something. He must have came to get a red bull.
We had so much fun during the weekend. We had a couple of 4 wheelers, and a dune buggy that I rolled. Paul's family has had this cabin for years, and the carpet was amazing. Orange and Green Shag!
Take a look at this moose (not Paul, look just to his right our left). Amazing wildlife up in the West Yellowstone area...
These kids are great! We were able to go into town and enjoy some shopping and Ice cream.

Bear Lake
This weekend we were able to go to Bear Lake! The trip was a lot of fun. We got up on Friday morning and got back home on Sunday just as church was let out around 2! Thanks Matt and Maryann for watching the dogs! We stayed up at Rob and Shelly's cabin and were on the lake pretty much the whole time we were there. In the evenings we went into town and enjoyed the famous raspberry shakes. The trip was great. A little cooler but great. Everyone the came said that they had a good time.
