Haunted!

Halloween is almost here! It doesnt seem like we have lived here for 5 months, and I really cant believe that October is nearly over! Our heat wave definitely came back after one week of 80's it went back into the upper 90s and even low 100's! I am ready for fall food (yummy pumpkin) and fall weather but it just doesnt seem right since we can still go swimming!
There is a pretty big farm just around the corner from us and they set up a pumpkin patch, petting zoo, and corn mazes (one being haunted)! It was a blast! Its the weirdest thing being surrounded by fields in middle of a big city, especially in the desert!
This was my first haunted corn maze, and COlby & I's first haunted experience together! We went with some of our new friends Nathan and Kira (it was Kiras first time in a haunted anything!) and we all had a blast! There were several times that we just ran through it because we were so scared, which made it even more fun because then more people would just pop out of no where!
Obviously I couldnt take pictures of the corn maze, but here is us at the petting zoo! We found out Colby is the horse whisperer and that it really tickles when ducks try to eat from your hand (especially when you dont have any food in it!)

right after we had all been terrorized!

 Cute litte kids!

No idea why its so fuzzy!

Seriously??

If I see one more creature, thats not a dog, i might pull my hair out.

We have had an abundance of SCORPIONS!!

See how little that thing is? maybe an inch and half!!

Every night we have to go around and check for these things. We have found 8 too many inside the house.... and went around with a black light outside and found way too many more!!

And just to top of them being scorpions, they are bark scorpions, the most poisonous kind in North America...

So needless to say it has been hard to fall asleep, our bed is currently on the floor, and for what seems like forever before I can fall asleep, all I can feel is scorpions crawling on me...

Then I come in from taking the dogs out, and there is a snake in my house!

It was just a little ground snake but still... why is it in my house??

He got stuck in packing tape (luckily), and unfortunately for him, died in the struggle of getting unstuck.

So, after that and several other things just not going right yesterday I was done...

On a more positive note, we only found one scorpion in the house last night and an exterminator is coming to do an inspection on the house to see where they are coming in from!

After Colby got home we decided to go get our underwater camera pictures developed and explore a little.

We went to the HUGE Cabelas thats right up the road. They have a really neat wildlife museum and small freshwater aquarium.

While we were walking around the museum looking at the mule deer, there was a part that had a hunter manequin and a tent set up. Colby walked in front of it and the manequin started talking in a really loud voice. Colby jumped back 5 feet!!! We both couldnt stop laughing! The best part was other people were around and saw it happen!! So it was a nice little comic relief for the day!

After Cabelas we headed over to the Westgate center, which is a huge shopping/eating center that attaches to Cardinals Stadium and Jobing arena. They were having a crazy bike night. There were atleast 1000 bikes there! They were having live music and they have a much smaller scale version of the bellagio fountains in the center.

Just a few of the many bikes. They had custom choppers, harleys, and speed bikes.

It turned out to be a pretty good night. We are excited to keep exploring and find new things to do.

THe one problem we have is when we ask people what to do around here, there answer is "Oh there is so much to do around here"......

Examples please???

Anyways..

There is just a little update from the Its Really Hot here front!!

Movie Night!

Day 31- Well we had our weekly movie night tonight. Our night started off with some interesting information that left us pondering the rest of the evening. Right when you think there are no BIG decisions to be made in the near future bam. decision time..
we then headed over to the Verizon store to activate Colbys new phone, then to Target to eat a fabulous dinner (see picture below!)!
Then we headed off to Colby softball game that got rain delayed/suspended and they have to finish the last 17 minutes at a later time..even though they were winning 16-2!
After the almost finished game we headed off to the movies and saw Easy A. I thought it was funny, Colby thought it was alright. If I had a choice to see it again I would wait until it came out at redbox..
Then it was midnight when we got home and the dogs were angry monsters!

I know you are jealous of our very own personal pan pizza hut pizza from the target food court!

there was a fire at the day spa next to the movie theatre.. too many candles i guess!

Take me out to the ball game...

Day 24-I went to watch Colby's softball game tonight. They ended with a tie 9-9, but they should have won! They came up from 4 in the last ending!

10 down to the PF Changs.

Tonight Colby and I went to dinner to celebrate our anniversary! We went to PF Changs and it was delicious, Colby had never been there before!!
Colby bet me that our server worked on cars and the bet was that if he didnt that we could go back in two weeks. I gathered up the courage and asked him and I was, unfortunately, wrong... kind of.. he used to work on his old car but not anymore?? Does anyone else think that I should win??

Spicy chicken and Mongolian Beef! Yumm!

My scruffy but oh so handsome husband

Lucky fortunes!

Tomorrow is Friday! Even better it is the Friday before a beautiful 3 day weekend!

Date Night!

I look forward to Colby & I's date night every week!

We usually just wander around stores like Big Lots and Home Depot and eat Japanese but on occasion we will go see a movie or do something special!

Our typical date night is Wednesday because of Colby's work schedule, however I am leaving for Las Vegas this Wednesday and won't be back until next Tuesday!

Last night as I was getting ready to go to the gym around 9pm Colby called me and told me to change because we were going to see "Date Night"! It was such a nice surprise!

The movie was hilarious and we laughed throughout the entire thing! I am so lucky to have such a thoughtful husband!
