Catching up....

Just what this post is going to be about.....CATCHING UP! Then I have a goal that I will take time out each day AGAIN to write what is going on in our lives. I liked doing that when I was....

I don't have TONS of pictures to show because I was lacking in the photo department the past few weeks....I have been busy.

FIRST:

CONGRATULATIONS TESSA AND KENNY!

You both looked GORGEOUS on your BIG DAY!

This couple is our neighbors children, whom happens to be our "BFF" and we got to witness with them their son getting married to his "BFF"

This wedding brought back a BIG fat AWESOME memory to Russ and I, because they just so happened to get married at "Stone Bridge" (the same place we got married) and had the SAME DJ that we had, and the SAME guy married them that married us, and it was absolutely gorgeous, as our day was!

A few days later our "BFF" left and took some family to Vegas.

They asked if we could keep an eye on the house, and well OF COURSE we would....

We noticed a FEW cars parked out side, so we thought we would be pretty hilarious and TP their house,

WE got BUSTED as we were doing so, and they quickly cleaned up, while Russ was taking pictures of the disaster to send to their parents, because they had a disaster in front of their house, It was pretty FUNNY!

However.....We all know how much I LOVE water balloon fights...

I promised all the kids, IF they were good, and ALL had to be good, they could throw balloons at daddy when he got home, so they were pretty good, so I filled the bucket up with ORANGE water balloons, and to Dads surprise he came home, and we were all WAITING for him so we could "balloon" him and he had to spoil all the fun, he pretty much caught all the balloons that had been thrown at him and threw them back at us! BUMMER! But it sure was a BLAST, and we only got to do it one time because BELIEVE it or NOT the weather actually COOLED down below 100*!!!

 (waiting for Dad)

I use to bake, a lot...

I have not been baking as much as I would like too....

So Cameren asked...what I was going to bake because I ALWAYS make good "treats"

So I thought to myself....my sister talks about these "CREAM PUFFS" and how delicious they are. So I made an attempt, the kids LOVED them!!

(so did I)

It felt SO good to bake!

(please excuse my picture, as the flash was directed right at the kids faces and the other picture wont upload)

A LITTLE HALLOWEEN!!

I think soo....Cam and Austin were here for the past 2 weeks and I thought before they left I would share a little tradition that my mom started, and I carried on to my children, because no matter how old I get I still find dry ice to be the COOLEST thing EVER!

So I got out a bowl and explained that it wouldn't be the smartest thing to touch the ice...and then I poured our drink into the bowl....and as the steam poured over the bowl the boys asked how I got the witches brew! AHAHAHAHA......as I explained to them that I am a witch. Austin said I was to nice to be a witch.

However I am so glad that I got to actually share something with the boys that I share with my own three around this time. The best part was They loved it!!

Now that everyone has left sadly, and things are not as busy as they were,

Sammi and I decided it was time to potty train seeing she will be 2 next month!!

So sad and she is SO hard headed that I have a feeling she will be my challenge.

My Mother in law also came down for a week to help me put some curtains together!

And literally that is all we did for a WEEK!

I wish we had more time so we could have went shopping or something, maybe next time!
