30 Days of Thanks - Day 1

Whether I like it or not its November. This year has flown by so quickly. For the month of November a lot of people I know are doing whats called 30 days of Thanks. I have decided I have a lot to be thankful for and would like to pick up and start this. So here goes it.....

Day 1

I am so Thankful for my husband Alan

He is always there to support me and the kids and goes out of his way to do things for us just to make us happy. He loves me regardless of my faults and makes me feel i deserve to be happy.

Tricks or Treats??

Happy Halloween All! Today since all the kids where off of school we all hung out here at my house and put together a little spooky Halloween dinner for the family.

We started off making crazy eyeball chocolate pretzel treats. Emberly was in charge of the white chocolate disks and the sprinkles. Cute and Yummy :)
Aunt Kimber brought some super delicious Pumpkin Strussel cake that Nate described as "heaven in his mouth" She is so creative isn't she!

Then we had an infestation of spiders! YUCK! Not to worry though Vinnie took care of them and ate them up! (What kind of two year old eats black olives??)And for the sweet tooth in us all we had Halloween Oreo Cheesecakes decorated with cute wrappers from my brand new Silhouette SD :)OH NO!!! The spiders are in the bean dip too!!!! Even the non bean lover mom enjoyed this dip!And to go with our Pizza we had some moldy Parmesan "Bone" bread sticks (Mom like these too!) And you cant have a Halloween dinner without the Mummy Dog Crescent Dogs! They where pretty tasty if I do say so myself!

And that's about it. Good Fun Food and Family! Couldn't have asked for a better night! Happy Halloween Guys! I love you all!!!! Thanks for the nice evening.

Happy Birthday to Summer!

Here is AJ and his girlfriend Summer hanging out at Earthbound yesterday (whatever the heck kind of store that is!) Today is her birthday so Happy Birthday to Summer!

My Machine has Returned :)

I got it back! Yay! My brandy new Silhouette SD arrived at my moms today to replace the old broken one. I was so sad when it died and so happy when Gina told me it might be covered under warranty :) I couldnt wait to try it out! The $10 download card that came with it was awesome too. Here are two of the new things I picked out with my card.
First my little turkey bag. Im sure you could fill him with some little candies and such

and also my spider web box. I have to say I am supper impressed with how it cuts the small stuff now! I dont even have to help it much :) Im just super tickled to have it back! Yay! Thanks again Mommy! and thanks Gina for figuring out it wasn't gone forever :)
