Halloweeeeeen!

Some funnies from tonight:

1. Teigen got extra candy from almost everyone because they loved his costume.

2. Whenever Teigen ran up to a house and they didn't answer, he'd say, "This one's not working."

3. A lady stopped us so she could take a picture of "Brian Wilson".

4. Someone passed us and said, "Now THAT'S a closer!"

5. Chaser fell asleep in the wagon on the way back home. Poor little guy.

We had a great time tonight together as a family. Happy Halloween everyone!

I love a good surprise!

I planned a Surprise 40th Birthday party for my terrific sister, Angela. Chase(13 mo.) and I made a very very sneaky plane trip out to florida 3 nights before the party and finished all the preparations.
(Teigen was being taken care of by his awesome Uncle and Aunt, Grant and Brittani Allred while Justin had to work).
It was hard not to drive over to Ang's house during that time, but I had to do it this way in order to keep the party a surprise. It was a success. Ang was completely surprised and especially that I(with baby Chase) and Aaron(with baby Kai) were there. Ang had a lot of fun and so many of her out of town friends came which meant so much to her. Angela has always been a great sister to me, but mostly best friend. She has been through the unbearable and back and deserved a night letting her know that we all love her and would do anything for her.
Again.....Happy Birthday Ang, you are AWESOME!

3 is the new 14!

YES!!!

Number 3 is on the way.........making 14 for both grandparents!!!

We are so excited!

Approx. due date: April 2nd 2012

No, we will not be finding out the gender.

Woo-hoo!!

Pugs...

I don't understand how anyone could NOT like a pug! I love my pug and now I have the need to always have a pug in my life. Justin knows this.

Anyway...I was browsing some youtube videos of pugs and came across this one below:

(It's of four pugs doing the signature "head tilt").

If it doesn't work go to youtube and look up "pug head tilt x4".

Enjoy!

Creative Trickery...

I love this new word for.............lying. ouch! Sounds so harsh!

Now, let's try that again....Creative Trickery.

Now, that just makes me smile....okay, maybe smirk.

I love doing a little creative trickery now and again..........................

Like this time.... ;)

Balloon Fiesta

This is why we love the first week of October...

We open our front door and...
My favorite colorful balloon above and Darth Vader balloon below landing...

Pretty pretty...

Teigen and his buddy, Troy...

This one went right above my head...

So, if you ever want to make a trip out to see us....hint hint...come the first week of October. You will love it and your kiddos will have a blast!

We didn't make it out this year to the actual Balloon Fiesta park where they all take off from, but we love watching them land all over our house.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

When life gives you lemons....you make lemonade!

OR ! When life gives you hair...you grow a mustache.......and wear ridiculous sunglasses.

Yes......This. is. my. hubby.
Sometimes this hair formation suits you and sometimes it DOES NOT.
Guess which of those is my hubby.
So embarassing.

A mustache.

Do I need to say more?

Easy as this:

My Hunter

Justin went bow hunting for the first time last month. He was away off and on for 10 days. With all his hard work and injuring 2 elk but not locating them after....he came home with a very sad face. The guys he was with were very impressed and told me that Justin did a great job and that it'll happen next time for him. Justin is such a hard worker at everything he does and to work as hard as he did and not bring anything home, he felt "bummed out". I told him he brought his experience and what he learned home and dispite it all I know he had a good time. And he did.
So January, watch out deer...here Justin comes!


Pics from his trip...

Mr. Chaser...

We had a great birthday party for Mr. Chaser at the park. He was so fun to watch and it sure looked like he had a great time. He had so many friends come and was showered with fun gifts. Lots of girl...friends ages 2-16 loved helping him open the gifts. And guess what? He loved it! He's barely 1 and he sure has a way with the ladies. Already. Should I be surprised? No. He is his fathers son. ;)

Here's some fun pics of Chase and his birthday cupcake. And of course he ate it all (that's my Chaser):
