THANKSGIVING....

Finally, some Thanksgiving pic's :) This year we went to my mom and dad's for turkey day and it was so much fun. We always have such a great time when we go, I so wish we loved closer. We are very lucky though to visit as often as we do. The following are some random pic's of our 2 week stay..

Brayden (cousin) and Brielle wrapped up like burritos together. They were imitating Bryce and his burrito wrap that we always have him in..

Brielle not feeling so hot... she got sick one day and threw up a few times... no fun!!! There was definitely a bug going around while we were there... We all seemed to have our share of some sickness during our stay!!

Brielle and me on Thanksgiving day. Luckily Brielle was all better by the big turkey day and was able to eat delicious food!! My sister hosted Thanksgiving at her house and it was super fun and relaxing. Food was great and wow, did I eat a lot!!!!!

Brielle and cousins at one of the kid tables.

Quick shot of everyone digging in!! Hmmmm, I'm getting hungry!!

Scott and baby Bryce. Bryce is about 4 months old here... P.S. Now he's 6 months...

Bryce being silly in grandpa's glasses

Scotty and me after our long day of eating so much food. I think I gained atleast 5 pounds on this trip :) ..atleast

So this is where Brielle's love for the "power-wheel" came from. Here's Brielle riding my mom's power-wheel she has for the grand kids. She absolutely loved it and had the biggest smile on her face every time she'd ride it. It was darling!!

Bryce being cute and silly on his tummy...

Brielle being Dad's little Cheerleader. They love to do this, it's like their thing..

Brielle and Savanah (cousin) riding grandma's horse. Brielle loved this!! She rides just about everytime we go to my mom's, but this time she really enjoyed it!!! I guess 3 years old is a good time to start riding lessons?? :)

My sister "going fast" with the kids. Brielle insisted on going "faster!"

So one night Brielle wanted me to draw on her face and this is what we came up with. A cat-rat-mustache looking thing :)

I believe this was one of our last nights at grandmas house.... We had a great time and just love being with family, especially cousins!!!! Brielle is the only cousin that lives far away on my side of the family, so being with them is always a special treat!! We had a very Happy Thanksgiving and thank you family for having us!!!!!!!

Twilight Party for the ladies!!!

Sooooooo, my friend Kelly (above left) got some info on a Twilight Party through some "Mom and Me" kids club thing, and was able to snatch some tickets. I have always wanted to go to a Twilight party so I was definitely in on this one!! It was more of an all girls boutique with food, desserts, pampering and advertising with a Twilight theme. It was a LATE night and such a blast!!

Soooo we were pampered for FREE!! Free massages, eye lash tinting, manicures, make-up, hair, and Cafe Rio!!! Who wouldn't love that!! Of course there was an initial entrance fee of $25, but the $25 was well worth it for what we got in return!!

And yes, that's me getting my eyelashes tinted. I kept debating it, but it was really cool, I want to do it again!

Some yummy Cafe Rio for dinner! While watching Twlight on the big screen of course ;)

Rebecka (above) and me getting pampered!! We got our hair and make-up done together. I actually learned a lot about how to do my make-up. Really interesting some of the tricks I learned :)

This guy really knows his stuff!! He was nice and did a good job. I just had to pull a face... Too bad I just went to bed after all this primping! lol!

And of course whats a night without a picture of Edward!!! Rebecka, Kelly, EDWARD, Melissa, Tiffany and me!! Those are fangs in our mouths by the way. What a fun night! Thanks girls for a good time!!!

Rollie pollie ollie...

Bryce rolling over at 3 months old!!

Here are some pictures I caught of Bryce rolling over. At about 3 months he did his first REAL roll and now, at 4 months old he's rolling all over the place.

It's so cute and it feels so grown up already. Babies grow up soooo fast :(

My favorite is when he laughs out loud and rolls to his belly, then blows bubbles and drools all over my rug!!

OUR LITTLE FAMILY....

a quick family picture before going out for the night.... well, minus Scott cause he's taking the picture.. we'll catch him in the next pic :)

Now Brielle is missing from the picture :)

I just love this little guy!!!

Brielle and Taeya Sleepover... kindof...

Taeya and Brielle, such cute and fun little girls!!! So on this particular evening, we tried to do a sleepover but it didnt quite work out.. but it was fun to try :)

Taeya's parents went out on a date and we were gonna see if both of these crazy little girls could fall asleep before they got home and well, let's just say manicures and Dora won them over!! So Taeya ended up going home late that night, so it was kinda a half sleep over..

It was fun while it lasted though!! Better luck next time!!! :)

HALLOWEEN TIME!!

Halloween was a blast this year!! Although Brielle and Bryce both got sick the week before, they were both better in time to celebrate. Brielle and Scott were pirates, Bryce was a cat, and I was a witch. Scott took Brielle trick or treating with some friends and I stayed behind with Bryce to hand out candy to the children. It was fun, we had scary music going and the strobe light flickering. Ive decided that next year we will have to be more scary though. Maybe have Scott hide in the bushes in a bear suit and jump out when the kids com'a knockin!! :)








































Our neighbors and good friends the Kennards decided to have a little last minute Halloween party for the kids and it turned out to be one super fun party!! The kids wrapped up like mummys with toilet paper, bobbed for apples, ate doughnuts off a string, decorated cupcakes and just played and played until it was time to go home. What a cute party it turned out to be and a creative way to have some Halloween fun!














Here's a few pictures of the "adult" Halloween party we attended this year. Well, Adult with the exception of small babies :) So yes, Bryce got to come with us!! The hot ladies below are my amazing friends Heather, Brandalyn and Alyson. We had a good time and saw some pretty crazy costumes. My favorite was of course Brandalyn's costume. She was Aunt Jemimah (or however it's spelled) and seriously, every time I looked at her I would just have to laugh cause she looked so awesome!!! I didn't even know it was her when I first saw her. I love it!!

GARDENER VILLAGE...

Off to see the witches.... at Gardener Village!! This little village is full of cute shops and boutiques year round but when Halloween time is near, they dress up the place with giant witches and fun activities for the kids. Here's the crew: Cohen, Taeya, Brielle, Kira, Brynn, and Olivia... and of course all the new babies (Bryce, McCoy, Anastyn, Alana) were with us but were bundled up in strollers.

Witches, witches, witches..

Brielle and Cohen, so cute!!

Witches playing baseball...

Children on the swing together. Gotta love Kira's face!! (far right) lol!!

Brielle and me having a moment...

Kids playing "following the leader" while the moms took turns looking through an AMAZING furniture store. Wish I could remember the name...
