Putting our HEADS together

Ryan and I put our Heads together and made some "Hair Raising" cupcakes. I played the role of cake decorator and camera woman, while Ryan played the role of brain Surgeon/ Mad Scientist/ Cupcake eater. They were really easy just a cake mix, can of frosting, red + yellow + green food coloring, plastic bag, and mad scientist and you too can make brain cupcakes.

Here is the Specimen

Here is the Mad Scientist ready for experimentation.

MWAA HA HA HA!


Happy Halloween from the Reynolds!

Families Can be Together

Marshall and I had a very excellent weekend. We spent most of it doing church related activities. For starters we hadn't been to the temple for very long time (blush) so we decided to go Friday at 10:00 in the morning. We thought it would be slow at that time so we could breeze through. Well just like everytime a temple trip gets planned there were a hundred things that happened that made us question whether we should stay home and handle the problems that arose or forget them and go. We made the right choice and went to the temple and had the best experience ever so we decided to stay and do some sealings afterwards. Marshall's parents had graciously accepted the task of babysitting so we knew the kids were in good hands to leave that long. Then when we returned home they helped us work on the deck that we are building. We really appreciated the help and the yummy dinner Jan made for us that evening. After they left Marshall and I cuddled up to watch the movie "Cinderella Man." This was a great movie and very appropriate for the current economic climate (eek). The next day we were priveledged to attend the baptism and blessing of my cousins children. And if RaeLynn reads this tell Scott we really enjoyed his talk, he even had Ryan listening very intently. Afterward we went to a get together at Todd and Wendy's new and very beautiful home. It was so nice to visit with relatives. It reminded me of the old days when grandma was still here and we would get together. The Briscoes are some of the funnest people out there. So thanks to Jana and Wendy for getting it all together. And to top it off we had a very good Sunday. So even in a time when the economy looks bleak we will always have our family there to fall back on.

I found this quote online and thought it said a great deal in a few words.

"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty."

Coming Clean

Ok, so I feel kinda bad for making fun of a little girl just cause' she is wearing a ridiculously huge turkey head band. I guess the reason I feel so bad is cause' I too have my own Thanksgiving skeletons in the closet. Just a warning to Julie before she looks at this picture- put your depends undergarments on now.

This is me on thanksgiving, way back when, when I decided to make my own turkey costume out of construction paper complete with turkey tail and turkey lips. I love my awesome mullet/helmet hair, even my dog looks embarrassed to be with me.

Weird

I was surfing the net and happened to go to pottery barn kids cause' there stuff is so cute (but I never buy anything cause' I am too cheap), anyway I came across this picture. Reason number one why it is weird is cause' who on earth wears a turkey headband this big!!! It is cute but come on. Reason nuber two why it is weird is cause it looks just like my niece Maren (becky's daughter. I knew Becky was into felting but I didn't think she had taken it this far J/K. Anywho this post is mainly written just to make Julie fall off her chair laughing cause we've talked about the hilarity of ridiculously large thanksgiving headbands before.
