A Boy & His Dog

We were up at Bear Lake for part of the Thanksgiving weekend and I took this picture of Ben & Roxy in the back of the truck and thought it was awesome. These to are tied at the hip. She sleeps on his side of the bed, sits by the toilet when he is in the bathroom, lays outside his office door when he is on the computer, takes Sunday afternoon naps with him and gives him the cold shoulder when he goes away too long. You really can't get a better dog than Roxy. She has been good since she was a puppy and she really is "man's best friend".

Happy Halloween.....a little late

Halloween brought with it our regular fun traditions, Carving Pumpkins with the Cassity's and the Annual Twede Halloween Party. We had a blast with both families.

Mike & Pam's Pumpkins

My Old Witch Pumkin and Angie's happy Jack-o-lantern

Ben's Stitch & Spider Pumpkin

And the clear winner of the Cassity Pumkin Carving is Mike Lee's tribute to Michael Jackson. Pretty amazing pumpkin carving skills Mike!!!

Ben and I were in charge of games for the Twede party and we saw this fun idea on Food Network. Its made by Jelly Belly and called Beanboozled. Its got a mix of all the great Jelly Belly flavors but has some of them disguised as terribly nasty flavors and you don't know what you are going to get . Its amazing that they can make jelly beans taste like boogers, vomit and skunk spray. We had everyone taste the identical jelly beans at the same time and it was hilarious to see the reactions of those who got the bad flavors. The worst ones I got were booger and earwax. if you are brave enough they sell them at the Sandy Super Target. It was still fun despite all the gagging and dry heaving!
