Update, Randomosity & Mini Bucket List

Saturday night we had our annual pumpkin carving party and this year it was accompanied with homemade chili and cornbread, a baked potato bar and some pretty killer deserts!
The kids did their fair share of playing, running and screaming! Quite a bit of screaming.
We spent the entire evening at their house and it was so fun!!

Cameron was far to interested in the World Series. Although I tried to cut him some slack because he is a Giants can after all.

Note: Him looking at the game...

And because of that I carved the damn pumpkin. He's carved every single pumpkin "we've" ever done
together.  I'm not a pumpkin carved but I friggin did it. We bought the kits with all of those fancy
pictures... yeah umm, I took one look at those things and decided I'd pass!

 

Baby due any day!

Best thing ever.

 

delish.

The other candles just wernet working, and we left our little battery operated ones at home!

 

Raygan even drew her own face that we'll carve out tomorrow. (It was running late last night)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a completely random note. I'm currently laying with Raygan and Remy watching Snow White. Every single time the witch comes on the say "skip" like a million times. In which I'm expected to fast forward until the witch scene is over with. I oblige. Does anyone else do that? I gotta keep on my toes.

On another random note. Cameron was cordially invited to the Bed Bath and Beyond friends and family shopping event taking place tomorrow. Haha. A bunch of his dude friends are going. Isn't that funny? Anyways he wasn't into it and I cut a deal with him and now he's in search for some new pots and pans! And possibly a new griddal -clap clap.

Week Review & Mini Bucket List

This week we did a lot of nothing. A lot of hangin' out and relaxing. It was by far our least eventful of the summer, and ya know what? I'm okay with that. We needed to slow down, we needed to just simply hang out. It was much needed for this busy family of four.

We came home from out little weekend get away to these little crazies. Right away daddy started getting started on our new fence and of course he had some assistance.



We visited water parks. I realized we have a minor addiction to snow cones.

We enjoyed a nice family day at my parents, kicked back and had a couple beers. Oh and we had an epic water fight between us adults that was much needed! ahh to feel like a kid again :)

I had a special day will all of the little girls in my life! Aka my girls and my two neices. Im so blessed to have them all be so close in age.

Best investment ever. .59 cent batons they used as microphones for hours apon hours. Then after they were over their singing they moved on to marching. "Hut! two, three, four"
