Roller Derby Championship

Lin and I had the unique opportunity of going to the SLC Womens' Roller Derby Championship on Saturday Oct 16th; The Death Dealers vs Leave it To Cleavers. It was interesting, and although we probably won't go again, it was something worth experiencing. We are both believers in trying new things. We took a lot of pictures and yes the women have extremely short shorts (just warning you now)

 Like I said, it was interesting. We were actually sitting on the floor just outside the line. We had trouble following the score but it was still fun. The Death Dealers won, by a lot. Sorry that some of the pictures are blurry, my camera isn't the best and the players were moving fast.
I am including this next picture for Lin. There was a cameraman (filming for what?) who honestly had a mullet and a toupe. yeah. . . . .

Halloween

So it has been awhile since my last post. It seems that time is flying by and while I have things to post it is never at the top of my priority list. I decided I would at least get our Halloween pictures up before it was Thanksgiving or Christmas :)

We went to Lin's family's for a Halloween party. It was hilarious to see everyone's crazy costumes. Lin and I had been planning on being Jafar and Maleficent, but we never had time to make our costumes. So Saturday we dug around our house for costume ideas. I decided to be a pirate (that is always kind of a back-up I can come up with on short notice) Lin decided to be brave/crazy/weird and wear my purple unitard. Yep you heard me, the purple unitard. I don't know how he feels about me putting these pictures up here(hee hee), but I think you will all laugh. He decided he was a trapeze artist.

In order to get my teeth disgusting like that I colored them with crayon. It really looked gross. My in-laws are so crazy, I love that you can do pretty well anything and they will be okay with it and think it is funny. The girls thought it was funny that we were all in unrevealing, baggy clothes while the boys were all in girly, somewhat scandalous clothes; nonetheless it made for a good laugh. Here is the traditional picture of all the kids in their costumes

Well now you have met my crazy in-laws! Ha ha, I love them!

Oh I almost forgot, while we were driving we saw the brightest rainbow. This picture doesn't do it justice at all.
