Fall Festival and Baby Stuff!

 Josiah was dressed up as Woody for the Fall Festival

 This is Hannah the Butterfly

 Josiah actually loved the trampoline this time! He played on it as long as it was these two little boys with him or no one. He didn't like the big kids. :)

 They did some apple bobbing for the kids and some of the guys did it as well. We enjoyed ourselves very much. It was a nice low key activity where we were able to just relax and talk with friends while the kids wore themselves out playing with each other.

 While in Alaska my sister in law took me to some of the cutest shops. We went into a vintage shop where I found this adorable little dress and bonnet. I couldn't pass it up!  I loved the smocking but the bonnet sold me on it!

 You know, just in case we have a girl! :)

 I have always wanted a Vera Bradley bag and my sweet sis in law got this one for me since I needed a larger bag to carry the stuff that wouldn't fit in my suitcase. It also can double as a diaper bag!

A dear friend has already given me some formula, and my sister is packing up some of her stuff Emelyn can no longer use. :) I am very thankful for what all these blessings represent. Not only the little blessing that is on the way but for the family and friends that love on me and my family.

Oh, and I have to mention my mom is making me fried speckled perch and cheese grits for supper tomorrow night. I've been dreaming about that meal for the last two weeks, and I can't wait!!! :D

Snow!

 I woke up this morning to much more snow than yesterday morning! It is coming down pretty good today! My Monday is off to a good start! :)

 My Mother in laws fall people are a little chilled...

It is only about 32* outside, so it feels really good. At least in my opinion. I think I was made to enjoy cooler weather. I could really see how much more fun Christmas would be if we had snow like this in Florida. I've been singing Christmas songs all morning.

Hope all my peeps in Florida don't sweat too much today! :-P
Hee hee hee!

Jennifer's Bday Dinner @ PF Changs!

The Birthday Girl!

...getting a birthday kiss from her hubby.

 Me and Michael

 THE FOOD. OH. THE. FOOD.

It was incredible!

This is a lettuce wrap. DELISH!

 Crab Wontons... OUT OF THIS WORLD!

 Crispy Green Beans... Surprisingly very good!

 Sweet and Sour & Egg Drop Soup... Not a fan of either.

 The Main Courses!!!

We each ordered something but we all ate something of everyone's. It was fun! :)

My favorite dishes were the Honey Chicken, the Spicy Chicken, and the Orange Peel Beef. Go figure I didn't like what I ordered, but it all got eaten... except maybe the rice.

Right after this picture we had our waitress take a group shot of us and when I tried to hand her my camera I totally dropped it and broke it. :'(

So I used my phone the rest of the night.

We each got a mini dessert. This is Michael's cheesecake which was really good!

 After dinner we walked around the Mall at Millinia which totally makes you feel... poor. lol

Here are the attempts at us girls trying to take a picture of us with my phone while we waited for the guys to get the cars.

 And then some random guy walks up to us and volunteers to take our picture for us. lol We were having fun being goofy and he had to go and ruin it. :)

We had a great night laughing with each other! We appreciated Jennifer giving us a reason to get together again. Happy Birthday, my dear friend! I hope you enjoyed your night out!

Game Night

 Friday night we had a few friends over for dinner and games. We played Cranium for the first time.

This is supposed to be a cheerleader made out of "modeling clay".

 This is my not so wonderful attempt at drawing with my eyes closed, but at least I can say that at least my girls figured it out. :) It's supposed to be "slam dunk".

 The scrum-dilly-icious desserts that Mike & Jen brought.

We had a great time and laughed so much! I also have short video clips of a flyswatter, back stage dancer, zombie, and a husband/wife humming duet of Indiana Jones... but I don't want to start WW3 with the back stage dancer so I will refrain from posting them. :)

We also got in a round of Buzz Word. And I am incredibly happy to announce that the GIRLS WON both games! 

GIRLS RULE!
