:: corn maze ::

Last weekend we went to the corn maze with our friends Eric and Courtney. We had so much fun scaring people and throwing corn... well we almost got kicked out for tossing corn trying to scare other people.
Oh how I love cowboys... this one was driving our hay ride.

This is me TRYING to scare Brady... he looks really scared I know. ha!

I promise I do feed him but he still got hungry while out in the corn maze.

hahha I love this picture of Brady. I think it looks like he has a head full of curlers. He was so sweet and let me clip all of the hair bows I made while my mom was in town. I had so much fun sewing and making bows with mom while she was down here.

What do ya'll think of the bows? Now all I need is a little princess to put them on...

:: Jillian Michaels ::

I have the sweetest husband ever! Tuesday night he came home with a little surprise for me...Yep! You guessed it. I have been talking about this workout since we moved to St. George and I no longer have Kwame to kick my butt into shape.

I bet you are wondering does it really work..... I was wondering the same thing and

YES

it does work and it works well. I for obvious reasons {I have only done one workout with her}

can not give you results yet other than my legs are KILLING ME today.

That is a very good sign to me!

So hopefully between this, running, and whatever my doctor finds out I will be able to finally shed all of this crazy weight I have gained.

Moral of my story... if you want an AMAZING home workout and you own a WII get this!

I normally don't like working out on my own and its working for me.

Love you all and happy exercising all of you! {Kell.a.bell keep up the good work!}

:: happy anniversary in the happiest place on earth::

my sweetheart brady and i just had our one year anniversary last weekend. we were able to sneak away to disneyland and california adventure for the weekend. it was so much fun to just play, play, and play for 3 days. neither of us had been to disneyland since we were about 13 so that made it even more fun.
we totally lucked out on not having to wait in very long lines thanks to the "fast pass". thank you to who ever invented this!! it was also perfect because after the fireworks on friday night we got to hit up all of the kiddie rides without all of the kids. we got to go on every ride we wanted at least once and the park was packed.
don't you think our new glasses are pretty sexy? i know we thought so also!

sulley was the only charter that i "had" to get a picture with. yep i pretty much love him! oh and i really love how brady is camouflaged in this picture. yeah he is in this picture with me in case you couldn't see him... look real close.

i could not pass up on a parent trap lindsey lohan picture in this phone booth.

brady decided to stop by sesame street for a rest.

this was our favorite ride of the trip - screaming california. and yes it did make me scream really loud! this picture is so funny... brady was trying to blow kisses to the camera and i was holding my hat on and totally look all posed for the picture. don't mind the glare its just that we took a picture of the TV screen showing the photo.

it was so funny friday night while walking around i decided that i really needed a lollipop. the funny part was we were looking in every shop and could not find them.... so sadly i didn't get one. but then on saturday brady spotted the shop full of them. i was such a happy girl with a lollipop in hand. this was while we were waiting in line to see the Aladdin play. it was so much fun! if you are ever at california adventure i recommend going to the show. we love Halloween and loved all of the festive decorations at both parks.

this is the HUGE do not enter sign that we walked by everyday on our way to the parks. yeah i guess they really want you to know that this is the wrong way to drive. that is brady's silhouette 6'3" and the sign is that much taller than him.

i am so grateful to have such an amazing husband as brady. he is always so sweet and loving and always looking out for me and what i want. this is to one amazing year and many, many more to come. i love you sweets!

:: an afternoon in the park ::

yesterday i was able to enjoy a few hours in the park with all of these wonderful goods before i headed over to the doctors office. it was nice and relaxing to stretch out on a blanket in the nice fall weather with some lunch and a great book - The Pretties... i love it!
i also became friends with this cute guy! he came over and laied down by me. i loved it!

so after this wonderful afternoon at the park i headed over to the doctors office and found out some awful news... i have gained 20 lbs. (ok really only 15lbs. but i was 5lbs over weight before) since we were married a year ago. OUCH! i don't understand how this has happened since i exercise so much... so they took my blood and are checking my thyroid. i know it sounds crazy to say but i really hope that is what is wrong with me. because that if fixable and if its not that i don't know what else i can do. oh the joys of being a woman...NOT!

for the past few weeks i have not been sleeping well at night so my mom being the wise woman she is told me to try and drink some sleepy tea just before bed and see if that helps. last night was my first night drinking the tea and i have not slept that good in months! so if any of you are having trouble sleeping maybe try this tea. it is working for me. oh just don't try it if you are pregos or nursing... that's what the box says.

since moving to st. george i had not found a grocery store i LOVED until yesterday. a friend (thanks falon) told me to check out harmos on the other side of town and that is where i will go for now on. i know most of you may think this is silly but i really i fresh produce, a good bakery, a fresh wide range of cheese, a good butcher, and over all good prices. i know it's a lot to ask for all in one place but i found it!!!! they even had yummy hummus... mmmmm!
