Some Recent Highlights

Beginning with the most recent...this is what our kitchen looked like about an hour ago! I guess that's what I get for scrimping and buying cheap, shallow pie crusts! :) Thanks, Travis, for helping me clean it all up!

Dallas ran a half marathon yesterday! Travis and I met his fiance Lauren at the finish line to congratulate him.
Can you believe he ran 13 miles dressed as Bane?! Congrats, Dallas!

Conference weekend was a blast! We stayed with the Fairall's and had lots of time with our cute niece Lily. We played with the rest of the Creek side on Saturday, then went to Ogden to stay with our Hancock grandparents. I always love visiting them--it somehow always feels like Christmas there!

I was walking home from school the other day and ran into these fun kids playing hacky sack!
Cutest brothers in the world. We love our Braden!

Janae looked gorgeous and sang beautifully in Women's Chorus when we went to see her in
BYU's Homecoming Spectacular!

Janae also spent the night with us after our autumn party and we watched the homecoming parade together!

My latest project at work: Marketing & Promotions for the new Research & Writing Center in the HBLL! This is, by far, my favorite aspect of the job. I've been busy designing the logo and creating lots of posters and handouts and working with lots of neat people to make sure students know about the RWC. It's so fun--more to come!

I caught Travis during a break between interviews and meetings.
He's off to Chicago next week for an interview with Marriott hotels!

And we just happened to run into the other Hancocks!

A Little Bit of Autumn Love

The Becks

We had so much fun at our autumn party last Friday! We were so happy to have all of our friends over (a.k.a. Janae, Braden, a big group of Beck cousins, and the Grabau's) to celebrate our favorite season!

I made some yummy fall foods, and Travis came up with our activities: watching a classic football play, part of Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin, and drawing pictures of our favorite things about fall! Thanks to Melissa & Ethan for bringing some creative fall snacks!

We also played the bag game for a good couple hours! Jaime and I came close to beating Dallas, but he's just got too much finesse (noun courtesy of Travis). I think Braden won the 2-legged competition, but since he technically got out first, I think we should hand 1st place to Lauren. ;)  Also...I may or may not have face planted straight into the carpet...

Kelsi!

Colby tried really hard, but I think Garrick's comic relief threw him off ;)

"I was feeling like a Pokemon trainer and wanted to 'catch 'em all', referring to the Becks. Just missing Kasey & Emily!" --Travis
"Dallas did not like Travis' plan." --Holly

All in all, it was a great little kick-off to fall and we had so much fun :)
