Mitchy's 28th Birthday!

We celebrated Mitchy's birthday by having a fun beach day at San Onofre.  We had so many friends and family there and it made it such a fun and memorable birthday!  Thanks so much everyone for coming and thank you Vic for taking such amazing pictures! You have some serious talent!  And thank you Mitchy for being born!  I love you!

Micah loved the Panda Bear- Jade didn't really care.

He loved both Panda Bears!

Micah started calling Jade "Jadey Bug"- (like lady bug) and it totally stuck!  We can't help it now- it is officially her name now!

Micah is my future little Bobby Flay~ He BEGS to make cookies every single day.  He doesn't even necessarily eat them, he just wants to be in the kitchen cooking or baking at all times! The other day my mom and him were making cookies and they creamed the butter and and sugar and Micah said it was good because it was "nice and fluffy".  Then after the eggs were added he said to my mom, "don't forget the vanilla!"  He is so fun!

My naked little pumpkins!

Jade's Baby Announcement

It has been forever and Jade is older now, but here is her announcement, I wanted to wait to post it until they were all sent out, but unfortunately I sent most out months and months ago, but I still have in a box like 15 that I haven't sent yet...what is my problem???  Anyway, here it is!  And thanks to Jackie Galbasini who taught me how to use photoshop so I could make it!  Love you Jak!

The Pumpkin Party!

We had the greatest time at Brittany and Derek's Pumpkin Carving Party this year!  There was good friends, chili & cornbread, scary music and of coarse, pumpkin carving!  Thanks so much for a fun party!

We decided to do Mickey Mouse this year and you can't see it as well, but we have more pictures of the kids at home with the pumpkin, but needless to say, Micah is 100 % obsessed with his Mickey Pumpkin and talks about it all day long and has to light it every night!

These are the masterpieces that came out of the Pumpkin party this year!

I've Been Tagged...

By one of my favorite people ever, Deb Speed!

So, six "unspectacular quirks" of mine are:

1. It takes me FOREVER to make chocolate chip cookies because I have to have each cookie dough ball have the exact same amount of chocolate chips. And also after they come out of the oven I have to place the same amount, usually 3 chips, on the top of each cookie. That makes them look perfect and delicious. The reason why they all have to be the same is because I want them to look equally as enticing so someone doesn't feel bummed that they got a worse cookie than the others.....I know no one cares or notices but I absolutely cannot make cookies any other way! (Writing these things out makes me feel even crazier!)

2. I recently realized that every night in order to fall asleep in my bed I have to count in my head...I count until I fall asleep! Every night without fail!!!

(No Photo- because there is no way I would look at that!)

3. This one might be the most embarrassing, but some of you might know that I have a VERY SERIOUS phobia of snakes...I mean serious! But to show you how serious, here is one of my quirks: everywhere I walk I look ahead and search for snakes, especially outside in the grass or dirt on hot days. But I even check in the house in rooms before I enter and I check the kids rooms for snakes before bed...I know it is crazy, but I cannot stop myself...Mitch thinks I need to go get hypnotized to cure myself of this phobia...

4. I prefer odd numbers, I set my alarm only to odd numbers like 7:01, not 7:00 or 7:02. I prefer due dates and other things on odd numbers...see 1. (three or five chocolate chips, not four).

5. My whole family has nicknames for each other and we NEVER call each other by our real name Ever!

Well, there it is...

Will you guys still be my friend after finding out how crazy I am?

Now I am supposed to tag six other people. ok eight!

Brittany, Autumn, Elise, Melissa, Chelsea, Kjerstin, Rachel, Tiff
