Our Crazy Life!

Last night we finally got to carve our pumpkins. Amiah was a trooper, she did awesome...Aiden on the other hand, the first time he grabbed some seeds, he said YUCK...and then he wanted nothing to do with it after that. My poor boy, hates getting dirty! LOL! Which is a good thing for me, less messes I have to worry about. My daughter had fun making pumpkin soup, she was covered in pumpkin from head to toe. She loved it! Aiden did have fun giving the pumpkins a ride in the wagon once they were all done. Here a few photo's I snapped while they were in action!

This morning my kids had their Halloween Costume Parade at pre-school. They were all so cute; they walk the streets, signing Halloween songs to all the people! Here are a few pictures I grabbed while I kept my son occupied...he just didn't want me to leave his side, silly boy!

WOW...30 years already! You look great for 30 babe, I love you and wish you the best years to come!

I am so addicted to playing Pac-man...I can't ever get enough of these games...If you are ever bored, try this PacXon Pac-man, it is my all time favorite! I have gotten all the way to level 17! LOL, I am a looser! http://www.pacmangame.info/play-pacxon-pacman.html

Ok, So did I tell you that I love that hair blog! I keep trying new styles, and this was what she is sporting today! SO CUTE and SO FUN! You start with a side part on the top, and then do puffy braids all around the hair. Then you add them into two piggies! I curled the ends with a curling iron to add some ringlets!

Today was a Halloween carnival at our little local grocery store! My mom works there at Customer Service, so she insisted we bring the kid's down for some fun games. They loved it, they had so much fun. We dressed them up, and they played all types of games from; fishing, cake walks, ping pong ball throwing, pick-pocketing, and ring tossing. They won lots of candy, and a few toys. Here are just a few pictures I took there.

For two week's now, I have had a weekly visit to the Hospital due to the baby! The first week, I wasn't feeling the baby move on my upper belly for two days, so I got concerned and called and they wanted me to go in...Come to find out, the baby just repositioned itself inside, and was kicking my back instead. But...the baby did reposition again! So I am for sure feeling those kicks! Then today I had to go back, due to pains I have been having for the past few days in my lower belly, and contractions. Well, they said as long as the contractions aren't hurting me, I am fine...The cause of the pain I am just going to have to deal with it, and live off Tylenol! The baby bruised my bone, and I have torn ligaments in my lower belly! NO FUN! I am so ready for these last few weeks to zoom by! I have had to hand over all my photo shoots to my friend Mindy! (Which I am so grateful to have such an awesome photographer friend, I don't know what I would do without you!) I thought I ...

So, I found these hair blogs...and they are the coolest ever! If you have little girls, you have to check out these blogs! They are so fun, I love it! I am so addicted to doing my daughter's hair now. She likes it too, we sit and look on the blogs, and she picks out the hair style she wants, and we do them! They are funky and fun, but we have fun with them. This is what she sported around yesterday looking like! http://cute2tryhairdos.blogspot.com/

Well as you all know, or now you know, we don't know the sex of the baby! Since the due date is approaching us quickly, we are seriously thinking we are going to have to hurry and pick a name for this child! We already have a girl named picked out, we all love it, and most important, we all agree on it! SO, if it is a girl...her name will be Alyssa Brynn! BUT, if it is a boy...YIKES! Yeah, this is where we have a problem...we can't pick a name. I asked my kids what names they liked...everyday my daughter thinks of random things to call it...like today it was "Ghostly"? WHAT? Yeah... I love my son's name request! He said we should name it "Cacca"! Yep...I don't think he is too excited for this baby! What do you think? HELP...we are desperately seeking cute names for boys...any help is greatly needed!

Last night we had Bunko...YEAH! The theme this month was Halloween, so we all dressed up! From Left to Right; Natalie (nemo fish), Carol (scarecrow), Shauna (Freddy Kruger), Kristal (Cowboy), Sue ( ?

It was at my house this month, so I thought it would be fun to make home-made root beer! My daughter had a blast with the dry ice, it was so cool to watch her stir it. We put a witches hat on her, and she was having fun stirring her brew up! LOL! I can't wait for next months!
