Weekend Update...A Play, A Shower, and A Birthday!

Yay...what a fun weekend I've had. While Mike was away in Mexico for his missions trip at Rancho Sordo Mundo, I was super busy having fun this weekend. Friday night, I had dinner w/ my family up at Mom & Dad's house. Saturday, I had my hair done by my buddy Tammy who does such a wonderful job!! Saturday afternoon, Kristal came over and we decorated a beautiful cake for Debra & Nate's couples baby shower. Kristal - again, thank you for including me in doing the cake and I'm so glad we were able to catch up while you were here!!! Here's a picture of our masterpiece!!


Then Saturday night, thanks to Tinna and James (Cuz Brian, Linds, and Addison were sick) I was able to go with my family to the Canyon Theatre Guild and take in the Halloween play "Terror by Gaslight." It was really fun and a great chance to see something spooky! :)

On Sunday afternoon, I attended the Baby shower, which was SO fun!! It was awesome seeing some of the guys eating baby food and gagging and watching John & Nate "chugging" soda out of a bottle! SO funny. After that, I headed over to the Precht household and celebrated Kyle's birthday with everyone. It was a costume party and Cole wore his super cool, Flash costume and I went as a birder...I know, I know...totally dorky, but I thought it was pretty funny! We had TASTY food and had a ton of fun!!! :) Here's a picture of Cole in his costume before we went...

Lombardi's Ranch...Here we Come!

It's that time of the year again, when we all head over to the Pumpkin Patch!! Last year, we took Cole and he had fun, but didn't really understand what in the world was happening. This time, he pointed out and said to me, "Mama...punkins, mama, choo-choo, mama...rocks, mama....horseys!!" He was quite excited. My mom and I took Cole and Justin during the afternoon and it was nice because there wasn't a TON of people there like last year or every weekend, I'm sure! :) Here are a few pictures from our adventure!! :) Cole did have a little fall in the petting zoo and truly "ate it" ... he had hay, dirt and goat poop in his mouth and stuck under his lips. SAD TIMES...pretty sad, but true.. He was pretty bummed, but got over it quickly and his nose is almost totally healed up.

Bridal Shower for Emilie!

On Saturday, October 7th, Michelle (my mother-in-law) and Jody hosted a BEAUTIFUL bridal shower for Emilie. There was tasty croissant sandwiches, hot quiche, a gorgeous fresh fruit platter, cheese and crackers, punch, tea & coffee. Plus, my mom made an ADORABLE bridal shower cake that was so yummy!! Michelle had arranged two AMAZING bouquets for the tables and had everything decorated so nicely. We played a few games, really enjoyed each other's company while eating outside in Jody's backyard overlooking the Robinson Ranch golf course, and just had a great time. Thank you to Michelle, Jody and Lori for putting on such an incredible shower for Emilie...I know it meant a lot to her and it meant a ton for me to see how many people just adore my amazing sister! :) Here are a few pictures from the shower!

Roses are red...wait, pink and white...

Here are some awesome pictures I took of some flowers in my parent's backyard with the rain drops still on them!!

Backyard Days...

Here are a couple of pics from this Sunday up at my parent's house. It was a gorgeous overcast day and Cole had fun stomping in the puddles in the backyard. Thankfully he didn't get too dirty!! :) But I guess that's being a boy, right?! He's pretty darn cute, huh? Here is Cole playing with one of his favorite things in the world...a ball! :)




And here is Cole playing with Grandma's BIG ants...always exploring and seeing how things are put together...




And here's Cole posing for the camera...

Cole's New Hair Cut...Finally!

So I was finally able to cut Cole's hair, as he was DESPERATE for a trim, and I do think he looks great if you ask me! :) Here's a before picture...



And here's a couple of after pictures...

Kitchen Shower Pictures...

Hello...it's been a while since I've posted something...It's been a bit crazy around here. Here are a few pics from the Kitchen shower we had for Emilie and Brice at my parent's house on Sept 21st.

Emilie and Brice...we are so very excited for you can't wait for the big day!
