3...2...1...Blast Off!!!

Today I went with my sister-in-law Jenna to Linens N Things (they are going out of business and you can get some killer deals right now). I was just giving Jenna some moral support, picking out stuff for her and Curt's new apartment, and didn't intend to buy anything. On our way to the checkout I spyed something that I had to get. Jason and I are always looking for ways to make healthier snacks and treats and I've been wanting one of those make-your-own-popsicles molds. Well they had one on sale, with just one catch...


They are mini rocket ships... I figured, oh well, we'll have kids eventually, so these will make some little kidlets happy later.


My first batch of rocket ship yogurt pops is now in the freezer. They are actually kinda cute... Who says eating healthy is no fun?!?! ;)

Pumpkin Carving

We love this time of year! So many fun things to decorate, good smells, and lots of yummy food to eat. Jason and I look forward to kicking off our favorite string of holidays every year on Halloween. You've already seen our Halloween decorations, but they are not complete until the pumpkins have been carved. Last year we did it way to early and our little guys didn't make it to the big day. So this year we waited until a few days before Halloween to carve our pumpkins. Boy does it smell good to cut into them! I guess it's time to make some pumpkin bars...

Here's our test run with the candles! Sorry the pictures are so crappy, I was using my phone.

Trick-or-Treat Forecast


Hahahaha! This is hilarious and sad all at the same time. Out here in the phoenix area, it's more truth than fiction. Good luck this year all you adorable trick-or-treaters...

Fro-Robin

I've noticed that the clothing/fashion industry is cycling through styles from the yester-years. Bell-bottom jeans and leggings, I've even heard the perm is coming back. In and effort to keep up with the times I re-vamped my look. My inspiration is my own dear Mom.
(MOM)

(ME)

(the next morning)
And for those of you who think this is a joke, I assure you, this is my real hair and not a wig! SEE

I'd like to give a special thanks to Jenna who helped me with my new doo, and Samantha (you were a clutch player last night with the whole pumpkin bar thingy!)

Our latest adventures

Sooooo... It's been awhile since I posted last, and to be honest it's because we've been keeping pretty busy. So here's the rundown of what's been going on.

We had a special little visitor for a few days, who is an excellent kitchen helper (almost as good as our dogs ;)).
I dyed my hair black
Our (well technically Jason's) little sister Jenna got hitched. Cute couple eh?
Jason had a birthday! WOO HOO! And we had a fun filled barbeque with family and friends. His present (a blue-tooth) is now, semi-permanently attached to the side of his head but I caught him without the new toy for this picture. (Yes the hat is photoshoped in)
My brother and his wife and my little nephew came for a visit from Dallas. Jay was so much fun to play with, he is a sweetheart and we were so happy to see him and Chris and Esther!
I decided to change my hair style (yet again). It's kinda a throw back to my mom! Love ya mom. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

And I put up our Halloween decorations (Jenna's favorite is the scary guy in the chair, just ask, and Sam loves the phantom in our tree so much that she hit the curb last year staring at him, or was that Jenna?).
Oh, I love this time of year. (Minus this whole election thing, it really stresses me out).
