More Wedding Photos......



Wedding Photos

A few people have asked if we had any wedding pictures back...well we do! Here are a few that I like the best. Our photographer did a great job...he really captured the moment! 






Attack of the Killer Spiders!

So there we were just minding our own business enjoying sunday dinner at the Ivins home with the In-laws when all of the sudden..........




SPIDER ATTACK.....


RUN CORY RUN..........THE SPIDER IS COMING! 



TOO LATE FOR CORY! 


I thought the Ivins home was a safe place........lol! 
MUAHAAHAAHAA! 

Pumpkin Poo!

Soo....The Ivins family has a big pumpkin carving contest every Halloween and tomorrow is the big day. So Cory, Chersty, Regan, and me all scraped out our pumpkins today so that we were ready for tomorrow. And well we made a big mess......Cory sang "pumpkin poo" to the tune of silver bells while we scraped our pumpkins clean. It was a lot of fun and I managed to be the only one who got pumpkin all over them. Cory had orange goo stuck to all his arm hairs and Chersty enjoyed squeezing all the extra guts over and over. It was pretty gross! 
(This is Regan's great work)

BRING ON THE CARVING!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

Band Night

Meygen and I had the coldest day of the year ten stories up in a stadium watching the marching band competition at Cougar stadium.  It was fun, and great to see people we haven't seen in quite some time.  To make a long story short, American Fork High School took it all home!!!  Yay for them.  Oh, and did I mention it was cold?

Poop and cake UNITE!!!

My wife is an amazing cook and my roundness can attest to that truth.  Her enchiladas are to die for, her lettuce wraps taste like they're right out of PF Changs, and she makes some mean croissants if you ask me, so when she makes something new I get very, very excited!
Last night, Megs and I had the night to ourselves so we played some rousing Mario Cart battles against one another in which she totally whomped me Pwnd with a capitol P.  All the while, Megs had a Crock Pot chocolate pudding cake in, cooking to perfection.  The whole house smelled so good you have no idea and my mouth was watering like a big fat St. Bernard's.  Boy was I stoked for this cake!  
The cook book said the cake was supposed to look like this:  


But unfortunately, something happened during the "crock pot experience" that made the yummy pudding cake still yummy but a little. . .

Regardless of how it looked, it was sinfully tasty with a side of cake batter ice cream.  Mmmmmmmmmm. . .
Again, Meygen has proven herself as a wonderful cook who can make even wood splinters taste like peppermint and frog legs taste like the greatest hot wings ever.  
Um... the end.

Cory

Nope, she's not prego, but c'mon! Pickles and Ice cream? Seriously!


So the other day, Megs and I had the wonderful chance to take care of my siblings while my mother and father were out on their billionth anniversary.  We'd had dinner at the Price's home but Megs didn't eat a thing.  She said she wasn't in the mood or not hungry or something to that effect.  I did my best to get her to eat, but she wouldn't.  
Back at the house, we were all talking and hanging out when she found a jar of pickles.  I guess they sounded good, because that was all she would eat!  I offered dish after dish and she didn't want it, but pickles just sounded so yummy to her (I know, it makes no sense at all).  So while she nibbled away, I went to the freezer and got myself a sorbet (you know, the kind you get at costco in which the bowl is the actual fruit.  If you've never had it, I highly recommend it!)  So I got Meygen a coconut sorbet for her desert, and she loved it as much as I loved my pineapple one, but within minutes, she was down for the count.  She was so down that I took her back to the apartment to rest while I took care of the kids at my parents house.  
What's the good part about this whole event?  Meygen finally got a good night's rest after some long days of hard work, and no, Meygen is not pregnant even though Pickles and Ice Cream are quite an odd couple when you're hungry.  If it were me, I'd just opt for some Tide or gummy bear covered pizza or something... *wink*

All peanuts are created equal and have the right to live inside chocolate.


The other day, my friend Katelin from work bought some M&M's from the M&M machine.  As she turned the knob, the faint "klink, klink, klink," was heard from the bottom tray and out popped three small candies... three.  That's it.  We had a good laugh and then it was my turn.  I put in my 25 cents but instead of simply turning the knob, I asked Katelin if she would shake the machine as I twisted.  Needless to say that I was delighted to discover a great amount of sweets flowing from the mouth of the machine.  Poor Katelin, she never had a chance...
The Machine (more generous my bum)!



The fruit of my efforts compared to Katelin's measly twist.

Now, this post has no intention of demeaning Katelin.  She is far smarter and quicker than I am, but it was really funny when she only pulled out a few of those yummy treats!

This one's for Kyle in Germany

So Kyle, our long lost brother who currently resides in the far away land we like to call "Doych-Land," has requested that we post some videos of our circus puppies because he misses them oh so much (probably more than he misses his family, ha ha).  This is what he said:

So I just went to your blog and saw the nerf war.  It was cool to see a long video of the backyard and Regan and Chersty, and your wife.  But I noticed that the puppies were in the background.  If you could somehow get a video of the puppies battling it out, or just the puppies playing or doing something adorable, and then put it in the blog, I would pee myself with excitement.  Seriously, ha ha, I love the puppies, and the family too, but I hear from them through E-mail.  However, due to the puppies not having opposable thumbs, they aren't capable of writing me E-mails.  So anyway, if the opportunity arises, I would be overjoyed!

Here are your videos Kyle.  We tried to get them to duke it out like the ninja puppies they are, but they just weren't really in the mood I guess.








Well, there you have it, our puppies are nuts.  Come to think of it, they're not really puppies any more, they're a couple of years old now.

Peace out and good work Kyle!

Cory and Meygen.
