Playing Catch up....

Ok, so I've been gone for a while and I need to play some catch up...

Have I told you how amazing my mom is? She is! I decided to do this elaborate costume for Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love it!! so I started this costume and got in over my head, but my amazing mom came to the rescue so that I could go to the Sabin's awesome Halloween party... and this is what we ended up with...

Isn't it amazing! She did so good! She also made these costumes for the kids....

I went to the Halloween Party, and had a wonderful time... Here are some of the pictures I got before my camera died.... Can't believe I didn't charge it before I left... grrrr....

We then had family night to carve pumpkins with the whole family.... it was way fun, however Amy, I and the kids were the only ones to dress up....

Lets try something new...

I love to cook and try new recipies. I found a bunch of dessert recipies for halloween recently and decided to try and make the one for Cheesecake Brownies. If you want the recipe you can print it HERE.



The recipe says to cut them out into fall shapes, but I just did squares because I don't really have any fall cookie cutters that were the right size to use. The recipe also calls for something called Pumpkin Butter. I had to look the recipe for that up too, and I'm trying to find other things you can use it in. If anyone knows please let me know! You can Click HERE for the the Pumpkin Butter recipe.

Happy Family

I haven't been very good at taking pictures latley, in fact I didn't take any on thursday. I haven't felt well at all the last couple of days and have been on the go. I was able to go to Bunco with some of my friends. They play totally different from what I am used to, but I had a wonderful time. I was going to see if they would pose for a picture, however I forgot my camera, so that was a voided point.

Umm, so since I didn't take a picture on Thursday, I'm going to upload another one that I thought was way cute! It was Megans Birthday, so Amy and I got to go to breakfast with Her, Jeremy and their cute kids. These are the pictures I took.

My memories are a bit rusty...

Tonight I went down to my Grandparents house to take some pictures. Its funny because all the things I found to take pictures of, have somehow gotten rusty and changed from the time I was a kid. How is it that time goes by so much faster as you get older. It kind of made me sad to see the place that I had spent so much time playing in as a kid in ruins. I took pictures of the Old swing set, where we used to play for hours, swinging and jumping. Its where I first learned to pump to make myself go higher...

The old swing. I think we had one wooden swing and one rubber one. I couldn't find the rubber one, but here is the wooden one with the chain still attatched.

My mom said that this was her old bike... I'm not sure. It probably was, but my grandparents were the kind who could fix anything and make it work again.

and this is the first truck I learned how to drive... ok not really but kind of. We used pretend to drive this old truck and spent hours behind the wheel. Thinking about it now, I wonder if that would have helped me pass drivers ed if I'd thought of it... :D

Not Peter Pipers Peppers...

I decided after staying up way to late last friday night and watching Martha Stewart living on tv, to attempt to make the stuffed peppers that were shown on the show. I have to say that alot of the reason I chose this recipe was because in the clip of Martha making it with one of her team, she totally messed it up and I found it funny. Well I did make the stuffed peppers and they were tasty! They had feta cheese and coucous and beans in them... mmmmm... however I neglected to take a picture of them. They were too yummy for pictures anyway.

Quit bothering me I'm trying to study...

yes that is what was running through Amy's head as I sat there in her room adjusting the blinds and snapping picture after picture. LOL she's always so patient with me. I will never forget when she was about 8 years old I made her pose for pictures for me, in one of her church dresses that I loved, and yes I even made her climb a tree in it, but they are some of my very favorite pictures... anyway these are the pictures that I took whilest tormenting her today... yeah!
