Spooky Spider Cupcakes

Hunter LOVES to decorate cupcakes... eat cupcakes, bake cupcakes.... ANYTHING to do with CUPCAKES he is all about it. So we made spooky halloween cupcakes with his buddies Joseph and Millie. Each boy was soooo excited to give them to there daddy's and Hunter's cousin Grace. We had lots of fun... Love the spooky spider ones! (OH DID I MENTION THEY DECORATED WITH LOTS OF CANDY!!!!!) :)

LOTS OF GOOD TIMES..........

Baby "Pumpkin" Playgroup

The Moms got together and had a pumpkin picture playgroup... the kids where so cute. The idea came from Celeste and Lisa took the pics... it turned out so cute. We had some dessert and chatted while the babies hung out on the floor.

Sister Time: Emily came to town!!!!
I just have to say I have the BEST time with my sister Emily. We just laugh and have fun when we get together.... Some fun things we did this visit was, Pumpkin patch, Gator Growl, Homecoming parade and lots of fun girl talk. Gator Growl had some really great dancers... I mean holy cow the talent these guys have is awesome.. I think the name is JABBAWOCKEEZ. Dana the comedian had some good parts. It was just a fun night out with my sister.
The kids played great and we had fun getting the babies together. It is so great to have a sister that lives near and we can get together.
I love you Emily!

Baby Braxton.....

Braxton and Henry 10 days apart!!

Gator Growl 2009!!
Awesome show!!!!

Crafty kids....

Our little chunky monkeys!

PUMPKIN PATCH:

At the pumpkin patch they had a hay ride, hand stamping, and a hay maze for the kids to play on. It was a fun time for the kids.

TOWERS TIME :

Our family adores the Towers Family, so you can only imagine the excitement Hunter had when he knew that Maggie and Gordon where coming to stay the night and day with us. We had fun, we went to the movies, made pumpkin & spider shaped pancakes, painted, fed the horses ( they were so excited they went over first thing in the morning... in there PJ's. You know you are a good ol country hick when you ride the scooter around the yard for entertainment!!! The kids loved it!!

Our Hungry Henry :
Henry had real food for the first time, he wasn't sure what to think about it. He mostly just gummed it and spit it out. He had rice ceral and carrots. We might wait a little bit and see if he shows more interest... For now, he just makes some funny faces.

Henry is such a sweet baby, he loves to cuddle with mommy. We fall asleep together lots of times.

Setting A Goal:

O.k. I set goals, ONLY if they are quick goals, and I get quick satisfaction, otherwise I get discouraged easily. An easy accomplishment is good for me. So my car has not been able to be in the garage since we moved in (31/2 yrs) I just decided I was going to organize the garage. Ta-da, I'm one happy lady. No more getting the kids out in the rain or getting my shoes dirty... I love my new organized garage.

Primary Program:
Hunter made mommy and daddy very proud during his "primary program", He learned his parts and said them when it was his turn. We had several people tell him how proud they where that he memorized his part. It was sweet to see the kids up there singing. What a great job they did. This was Hunter's first primary program. Our big "Sunbeam".

Big Brother: Showing Henry the ropes on "popping a wheelie". Carefullllllllll Hunter, Poor Henry... what a patient little guy!!!!

Mrs. Angela and Mrs. Lisa would be proud....

Caught Hunter singing "Gunny Bag". It was so cute... I was in the office and I overheard Hunter in the kitchen singing and I just had to grab the camera. It was so sweet to hear him and of course as soon as he sees me he starts talking to Henry... Mrs. Angela and Mrs. Lisa should be proud, Hunter loved Joyschool and ALL the songs he learned.

Some of Alicia's Fav's..

Thursday is my T.V. NIGHT! It is bad... no one can talk to me after 8pm till 11pm. I have just got hooked on "fast forward" and I love Grey's Anatomy, & Private Practice. I seriously don't miss these shows.... love them!

Pumpkin pie!!! There is nothing better than smelling a pumpkin pie baking in the oven. I totally stocked up on canned pumpkin for the holiday season... anybody have any really good recipes to share!?!?!? Ingrid I heard you made a yummy pumpkin cookie... do share??!!

PEANUT M&M's!!! I just can't get enough of them. I seriously have eaten almost a WHOLE Bag. They are addictive!!!

My sister Emily and me talk just about every day and one day I told her I couldn't get my hard water stain out of the toilet..(we have well water). So she told me to go get "the works" and let me tell ya IT WORKS! It is AWESOME. You have to be careful not to get it on your skin AT ALL. It is a strong chemical but it sure works. Toilet is clean and white.

Hair.... what to do, what to do?!?!

O.k. if any of you know me... I like to change things.. it is time to get a new much needed hair style. My hair is thick and gets out of style easy. I have appt next week and I wanted some suggestions... whatcha think. Here are some hair styles that match a "Heart Shape Face".

This is my favorite....but I want to keep my length also... soooo....

Bangs or no bangs.... ????<



Now this hair style is about the length of mine now.. maybe a little bit shorter.. but it looks kinda layered.

Girls Night..... Chop Stix Asian Resturant

It is always nice to get out with the girls and talk, laugh and have a good time. we watched the movie "ghost of girlfriend past"... I could look at Matthew M... all night long, he is my movie star crush. Steve took the kids to a friends house and they had pizza and went swimming. Everyone in our family had a fun night out.




I couldn't resist catching Lauren with her food and chopsticks.

Ahhh to be a kid.....

Hunter, Millie and Joseph had a blast playing, making tents in the living room and dressing up as characters. Our family just adores the Lowry kids, and what fun times our kids have together. It is so neat to see there creativity come to life.
