Pumpkin carving, HaLlOwEeN, and of course..."Trick or Treat!!"

We had a lot of fun this past Halloween weekend. On friday night (30th) Corey and I carved pumpkins with my family. I am being completely honest when I say that our pumpkin totally and completely dominated the others :) :). Okay, okay so Brigg and Melynnes "crab" pumkin was impressive but still couldn't hold a candle to our DuCk, GuN and BuLlEt pumpkin!! (Don't worry guys there is always next year hehe :) ) On Halloween day we went over and had a delicious BBQ with my wonderful in-laws, and we also carved pumpkins, it truly was a lot of fun!! At the Hansens me and Corey's pumpkin was the headless horseman!! We simply drew it out by hand and then carved away. . . . . Okay so not really, we might of had a little bit of help with the paper that we traced but ya know. All of the pumpkins turned out way good and it was so fun being able to be with our families who we love so much!! Now a little background, every Halloween, ever since I can remember, so literally EVERY Halloween, my dad has always dressed up in his brown trench coat, one of my grandpas old hats and put a nylon over his face and then scares ALL, yes I mean ALL, of the little kids who come trick or treating. So this year my dad had a great plan. He decided that he would have Brigg, Corey, and Bronson help him out. They all dressed up and were stationed at certain spots in my parents front yard. My dad was by the front door (like always), Brigg and Bronson were at the end of the stairs, looking as if they were dummies, and Corey was in the back of his truck which was pulled in the driveway. Between the 4 of them they scared every single person who came to our house. Corey was almost beat by a mom, he scared 3 dads who were leaning up against his truck, and not to mention all of the poor little kids. My mom absolutely hates that my dad does this but my dad absolutely loves it. Why the boys are all out being mean and scaring, all of us girls have a fun time talking, eating candy, and usually will watch a scary movie. After all the scarying is done we all eat. A Barron family tradition is that we always have soup and "Barron supremes" on Halloween!! So like always that is what we had for dinner :). It was a great and fun weekend that we got to spend with our families. I love this time of year with all of the holidays and all of fun times and memories that come along with them along with all of the time that we get to spend with the people that mean the most to us, FaMiLy! We love you all so much and have truly been blessed to have the families that we have! Love you guys!! :)

Bucket????.....

Last night something truly amazing happened. Another incredible "is this happening moment" occured with Corey. For the past 2 weeks we (and when I say we I mean mostly my husband (I'm there for support)) :) have been spending tremondous amounts of time out at our house. Apparently the loss of sleep and crazy days have finally caught up to my dear sweet Corey. Last night Corey had a sleep walking experience. All of a sudden he rolled out of bed and walked into our closet. I sit up and am watching him thinking what in the heck is he doing. All of a sudden he says "where is the bucket?? I need that bucket!!" My reply "babe what bucket? there is no bucket we are at home now." I am truly trying so hard not to laugh at this time and then it gets better. So Corey scratches his head, walks out of the closet, and then to the edge of the bed and just stands there for a minute. Next thing I know he wips off his sweat bottoms and walks around to my side of the bed where I am now laughing my head off and laying down. He starts pushing me over to the other side of the bed until I finally lift the covers up and slide over so he can go right back to sleep. Which he did, in about 5 seconds he was sound asleep snoring like before. I honestly was in shock, this has never ever happened before. I am use to him talking in his sleep, which he does very often, but never has he done the whole sleep walking thing. I have to say that the greatest part of this whole story is when Corey woke up this morning turned over to me and said "babe where are my sweats??" hahaha I could not contain myself. I can honestly say it is little things and stories like this that get me through the day sometimes. It is also these sorts of things and memories that make life so great and wonderful!! I do however have one question "Where is the bucket???" :)

Is this really happening??.....................

I had an experience last night that to be quite honest I never thought I would experience. Well, okay so I thought I would experience it just not with my 22 year old husband, maybe our children. Last night my husband refused to get off of the couch and go to bed. So I didn't have any choice but than to drag him off the couch, down the hall, down the stairs, down the hall (again) and try to lift him up onto the bed. Of course he was very good at being limp and not helping (at all.) Corey thought he was so funny and just laughed, while I was getting so mad and frustrated but just kept thinking, this is so stupid, so all I could do was laugh. I seriously was thinking to myself "did i really sign up for this????"..........Um the answer to that would be a YES!! (what was i thinking) haha Why is it that the boy always hides his weird side while dating, I mean honestly it would make it a whole lot easier on us girls. :) (corey---why does my wife hade the little things? It makes it so hard to read her mind)No, even though my husband does do some quite amazing and different things like that I still do love him more than anything, even if he does make me drag him to bed. :)

Changing the subject today was a great day at church. It was our ward conference and all of the speaker/talks were amazing. I learned something from every one of them. I would like to leave a quote that stuck out to me and really put alot of things into perspective. We all go through trials some bigger than others but in the end this quote stands true.

"The lord compenstes the faithful for EVERY loss..... every tear today will eventually be returned a hundred fold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude!"

"Um there is going to be a WrEcK"

So today was just a funny day. I witnessed a car accident and then amazingly enough almost got in a car accident myself. My best friend Shaylee and I work together and so we usually try to go to lunch once a week. Well today was our day for lunch so we went to our usual "Gandies". As we were pulling in there were two cars that just happened to be backing up at the exact same time. As we sat there I looked over at Shaylee and said "um there is going to be a wreck." Shaylees reply "oh my heck there is." Not more than 3 seconds after our remarks the two cars backed right into eachother. Me and Shaylee sat there with our mouths wide open and in amazement as we watched these two cars rear end each other. How did these two people not see each other and why didn't someone stop. Better yet why didn't me and Shaylee honk the horn and try to help them out a little???? haha, we are still trying to figure that one out. It was just one of those things that was in slow motion and you really didn't know what to do. Yes, it is not funny and it really is unfortunate that the two men got in the little wreck, but me and Shaylee could not help but laugh, and wonder where we were going to park as they blocked the way. Luckily there wasn't a lot of damage, if any, and all drivers were okay and actually really nice to each other :) What can I say accidents happen.

Well to make things better we were pulling into work and this big truck just about hit us. Shaylee grabbed my leg and yell "Brittnee car" I slammed on my brakes and the truck just kept on going with no hesitation he didn't even see us!! Luckily nothing happen, because that would not have gone over to smooth with the husband.

I can honestly say there is never a dull day in the life of Brittnee Hansen :)

tHe HoUsE!!!! :)

So I finally decided to put some pictures up of my cute house!! :) I am so excited for my house to be done, not only so i can just have a house of my own, but also because then I will actually get to see my husband more than just a couple hours a day. Corey has been doing a lot of work on the house. He did all the windows, the insulation and even some pipe work. Therefore Corey will go straight from work out to the house to do even more work. I truly do appreciate all that he has done on the house, he is incredible!! Thanks babe! Then when the time comes he will lay the tile and we will paint :) I am actually excited for the painting part!!

This past Saturday my amazing husband left the house at 6:15 a.m., he told me to meet him at the house at 8:30 a.m. and we didn't leave the house until 10:00 that night! Corey did all the insulation in the house!! He only took one break and it was because I was both hungry and had to use the restroom which of course we don't have so we had to go into town. Corey's lunch choice was (of course) 2 large hot and ready pepperoni pizza's from little ceasars, (i would"ve preferred subway but.....) we found out that they have a drive through, very exciting for my dear husband :). So needless to say it was an extremely long and tireing day.

Our house! :)

Corey hard at work!

The reason for this picture is basically so you can see the mask. I put one of these masks on and it lasted for about 1 min. Let me tell you about these mask, 1st of all they are so uncomfortable and 2nd of all they truly do smell like disgusting fish!! I could hardly stand it. So I give props to my husband for wearing it pretty much all day and to any others who have to wear them.

This is all of the extra insulation that I had to sweep up! Corey makes fun of me cause he doesn't think that it is that big of a pile but when you had to keep sweeping that all day cause it kept getting blown around everywhere it made the pile seem HUGE!!! Plus is doesn't help that I am a little OCD about cleaning, so the fact that it is so messy at the house drives me crazy, then to see all of this everywhere, ya pretty much drove me insane! Corey just kept laughing at me and saying "babe this is a construction site it is going to be dirty and it really is okay" Unfortunately that wasn't very comforting haha but thanks babe I still love you!! :)

Even though it was an extremely long day it was great to be able to spend it with Corey!! It just makes everything that much better and more worth it when we get to do it together.

*So thanks babe for all that you've done on the house and for all that you do for me in general I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

***Also thank you to Shad and Dustin for coming out and helping us!! We appreciate it! :)

Happy Birthday Boy!!!

On Monday, October 5th, my lil bro turned 10 years old.!! It is so crazy. Time goes by way to fast. I can remember going to the dr.s with my mom and family to find out if this guy would be a boy or girl. My older brother Brigg started crying when he found out that he would have a little brother atlast!! Bronson has been such a blessing in our family. He has such a great personality and can make anyone laugh and make anyones bad day turn to good. Bronson is also an amazing athlete! He is the star quarter back, the best pitcher you've ever seen, and a great basketball player. Bronson will be the one to make in to some professional ball team. Besides all of these things, Bronson is probably the sweetest boy you'll ever meet. He has such a huge and soft heart and would do anything for anyone. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRONS!! I love you so much and I am so grateful for you. Thank you for being such a great little brother and also friend. You are the greatest!! P.S. you smell like a beaver!! :) I love you poop!!!!


Brigg (older bro.) and Brons.

The birthday boy and all of his sisters!!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRONSON!! i LoVe yOu SmOoCh!

UPDATE!

Okay yes I know that I have been absolutley terrible at updating my blog, but honestly I have had absolutely no time. Life for Corey and I has been so crazy but absolutely amazing at the same time. So my dear cousing Whitney her is an update and i promise from now on i will be better!! :)

Like I said Corey and I have been so busy and life is just crazy. We are in the process of building our 1st home! :) I could not be more excited about it. We will be living in Saratoga Springs and our house should be finished by Thanksgiving!! What a wonderful Thanksgiving present.....and christmas, and valentines, and birthday and anniversary present.... haha. No but for reals! It has been really fun building a house and at the same time so very stressful. It doesn't help that I am kind of a visual person, good thing my husband is amazing and knows his stuff (especially construction) so he can explain everything to me and where everything and what everything is and is going to be. (even then i still have a hard time) I guess I will just have to wait to see the finished product! :) So let me tell you the difference between my husband and me as we are building this house. Corey stresses over the framing and if everything is straight and sturdy, I stress over the paint, tile, and carpet. Corey understands everything and can picture everything. Brittnee understands hardly anything and doesn't picture anything (thanks mom, I get it from you.) I want to go and see the house every day, and Coreys reply with a chuckle and big smile on his face "its just another house babe". UMMMM NO its not, its "our house" he just doesn't understand. haha. I am glad that Corey has a lot of patience, because I know that I definitely try them! Thanks babe love you so much!

It has now been just over a month since my amazing older sister and her family (my babies as i call them) have moved to Miami. I miss them so much but this is such a great opportunity for their little family. My brother in law Mike is in law school and absolutely loving it. I am sure he is doing great and will be a fabulous lawyer one day! But i do wish that the babies couldve stayed :) I seriously have the cutest niece and nephew ever. I miss you guys and I love you all so much!! I can't wait to see you at Christmas! :)

Well that is all for now, I've gotta go put some corn bread in the oven :) but i will keep you updated and I will get some pictures up ASAP!
