Reminiscing!

Totally random post but I was just reminiscing about our 3 year wedding anniversary coming up at the end of the month. This week 3 years ago I was neck deep in wedding showers and checking everything off my list. So this pic is from one of my showers and I mainly was looking at the picture thinking how much I miss my super blonde hair. Looks like I will be asking for bleach my next trip to the salon!

Oh how he loves Papa Jim

Girls night out at the Porcupine Grill

So the girls...well some of us...got together this past Saturday for dinner. Good food and good company makes for a good time. We missed the 4 girls who didn't make it so we will have to plan another get together soon. Lots of laughs and remember whens.

Love the flash in the window


Mel and Ang

Me and Hina.....thanks for the pretty smile Mahina!

The famous chocolate porcupine dessert. It was really good. Glad the waitress brought 4 spoons! lol

A 2 picture Thanksgiving post!

I did not do a very good job taking pictures on Thanksgiving. Just waiting for my sister to post hers so I can steal them. These were the only 2 I got. Carter and Vick checking out the ads and Carter all worn out with a belly full of grandma's rolls and mashed potatoes!

The happy face of an angel!

Top off turkey day with game night

So after a few hours of letting Thanksgivng dinner settle, we decided to bust out the games. We all know how much Peggy loves games and nobody will ever play with her so needless to say she was ecstatic. We had tonz of fun and my cheeks hurt from laughing so hard. It was my first time playing Apples to Apples...very fun! Mad Gab is always a blast.... Kasey is the pro, and then the classic Uno can't go wrong there. Can't wait til the next game night!

Reminiscing...

So I took Carter to get his haircut yesterday and what a nightmare. He absolutely hated it. Screamed and cried the entire time. It was almost worse that taking him to get his vaccinations. I walked out needing a stiff drink. So I thought I would post some pics of his first haircut and remember back to when he liked to get his haircut and would just sit there as quiet as a mouse. Love you bug!

Coldstone Craving!

I highly recommend you try this delightful dessert. We were having a cake craving at our house a few nights ago so we made a Coldstone run and came home with this. It is called "A Cheesecake Named Desire." It was very yummy and gone in about 3 days.

Better late than never!

HAPPY BELATED HALLOWEEN!

Inroducing.... Carter the little batkid!

1st stop.... Papa Jim's office!

Who knows what he is doing here :) I was quite impressed at how well he tolerated the hood on the costume! Usually I put a hat on him and within 2 seconds he rips it off and throws it down.

Visitng Aunt Kasey's office. We hit the jackpot here on candy and Carter got to pick a toy from "Pirate" Kasey's treasure chest!

Batkid.....Out!

It's BOSTON baby!

Vick and I had the chance to go to Boston for a few days last month. It was so great to get away! The city was gorgeous and such great weather. We got home and only ended up with one picture of us and it was bad at that from the rain and wind so enjoy the pictures of the scenery. If you ever get the chance you have to go.... It's BOSTON baby you gotta!!!

Views from our hotel room

I loved this rooftop! It was so beautiful.


The city had so many neat old buildings. The architecture was just unreal.

FALL TIME FUN!

Carter absolutely loves the playground. It is so fun to watch him play. He gets a little more daring each time. On this day he mastered the BIG slide, which scared him half to death and first but the second he got to the bottom of the slide his little face lit up with joy! He is growing up way too fast!

May we never forget...The Land of the Free because of the Brave!

BCS....BCS....BCS

13-10 Way to go Utes! What an amazing game last night. I jumped off the couch several times cheering on our Utes. Carter thought I was pretty funny for getting so excited he just kept laughing at me and waiting to see what crazy thing I was gonna do next. Way to go Utah! All I can say is sux to be the kicker for TCU... gotta love him though!

A very eventful vegan event!

October 3rd was our book club and we decided to go to dinner first and discuss the book afterwards at Mandy's house. We went to a vegan friendly spot called Vertical Diner. I ordered the "Tiger Claw" aka the Tender Tiger which as you can see was more enjoyed by Carter than myself. I am not sure if it was a texture thing or a spice thing but it pretty much gagged me. I ended up eating half Carter's peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some fries. So with food not worth reporting I decided to just enjoy my beverage choice of water. I flagged down the waitress for a refill on my water and when she was handing my glass back to me she dropped it all over me. Not only was I soaking wet but it was ice cold. I have been told that my face was priceless! Once we stopped laughing I was able to stand up and somewhat dry myself off. Can't say I have had the sensation of peeing my pants in a very long time. All in all we had some good laughs so I guess that is all that really matters!

-Long overdue hairdo-

Here is Carter's new hairdo. I had been putting off taking him to get his haircut for far too long so I finally took him to Cookie Cutters and the girl was so cute and so patient with him. He screamed the entire time but not because he didn't want his haircut but because I took him away from the playground which they have inside. As soon as he was done he immediately stopped sobbing and ran over to the slide with a huge smile on his face.... little stink!!!

Anyone call a locksmith?
