Dinner guest

This is old news, but thought I would share anyways...

Last weekend we had some extended family in town so we had a lunch get together at my grandma's. We all had a nice time visiting family that we have not seen in years.
During the lunch we were surprised by an uninvited guest....



I have lived in Vegas for 18 years and never once have I seen one of these. Jeff scooped him up on a paper plate and we delivered him safely to the desert.

Football is over...




now wrestling can officially take over our lives (not that it hasn't already!)

Brandon's last game was Saturday morning. It was an ok season. The kids had fun and that's all that matters. Brandon was a pretty good defensive player, he may be one of the smallest kids on his team but he wasn't afraid to get in there and do his thing. We're pretty proud of our little man.

Elections

I'm glad it's over! No more annoying phone calls and commercials.
I'll admit it; I was disappointed with the results. But, today I will pick myself up and dust myself off and pray that Obama will bring about the "change" that he promised without breaking this country down more than she already is. I won't hold my breath.

Priceless

My kids have a TON of toys. We have toys in every corner of this house, it's crazy.
However, Gabriella is obsessed with the bars of soap I keep under the sink in our bathroom and now...she has found the gigantic box of tampons (sorry people) she loves to empty them on the floor.

Happy Halloween






Happy Halloween...another one come and gone.
I'm not a huge fan of the holiday...but the kids had fun so that's all that matters.
Alyssa was a 50's girl, Brandon was a ninja and Gabriella was a black kitty cat.
Jeff took Alyssa and Brandon out trick or treating and Ella and I stayed home and passed out candy. She was very interested in everyone that came to the door. The kids got a ton of candy, as usual. It was a good night!

Pumpkins





I'm thankful to have such a hands on husband. Today, while I was at work Jeff and the kids took on the task of carving the pumpkins. We usually do it all together as a family but this year we have been so busy we just never could find the time. Brandon's pumpkin in the flaming skull and Alyssa's is the cat. I thought they turned out very well. And just a side note...Alyssa carved her pumpkin by herself!
