Habitat for Humanity-MillerCoors

This past Saturday I volunteered to work on our Habitat for Humanity house sponsored by MillerCoors and Glazers. Of course I wasn't excited about waking up bright and early on Saturday morning to do manual labor all day but it ended up being a lot of fun. My group project manager was Charles and he was a hoot!! He was about 65 years old and in way better shape than any of us out there. His job was to teach us how to properly put up siding and then set us loose to install it ourselves. I never would have guessed that out of all people, I would be good at putting up siding but I ended up doing pretty well! If anyone out there needs help in this department, I'm your girl to call. After my team and I finished our initial wall, we were then assigned to finish the siding that required to be on the roof. I volunteered to be the one on the roof and once I was up there started to have second thoughts. It was a little high and the roof shingles were slippery but I managed to stabilize myself and got the job done. I'm so glad I decided to help and anytime you have the opportunity to work with the Habitat for Humanity volunteers, I would greatly recommend it!!

Trick-or-Treat

Happy Halloween Everyone!!! This year turned out to be soo much fun!! Jerod went trick-or-treating with Gracie's family this year and the kids had a blast together! In Davis tradition, the whole family met up and joined the fun as Jerod hit up the neighborhood for candy with Gracie and Cutter. I love watching the kids run from house to house in pure excitement :) After they went to all the houses around the block, we loaded up and headed to a nearby church hosting a trunk-or-treat festival. The kids scooped up as much candy as they could before making their way to the cake walk. First go around Jerod won!!! I couldn't believe it. The next round Gracie won, they were so excited except for Cutter who got a little teary-eyed because he didn't win. Poor fella. The kids ended the night by sliding down the bounce-house slide several times. They loved it. We said goodbye to Gracie's family and finished our night at Chili's for a quick bite to eat. Another great Halloween adventure!!

Thrift Store Shopping & Pumpkin Carving Time!!!

Saturday I spent the day with my Mom, Michelle and Jerod thrift store shopping for our halloween costumes. Michelle found some great stuff for her white-trash look, Jerod found 9 different costumes (good thing they were all under $2) and I came up with a few good ideas but didn't buy anything this time. Michelle found this awesome fur and suede long jacket for winter for only $12, I was very jealous.

Jerod was so excited about his new costumes he couldn't wait to show everyone what he got. This is costume number 1 and my favorite out of the bunch. Not sure what it is but it looked scary

This is his ninja costume, his favorite out of the bunch


That evening we all got together at my parents house to carve our pumpkins and chow down on pizza for dinner. I love these type of family nights!! : )
