New Blog Design

Ok....so I got a blog makeover!  I love it!  She did such a wonderful job and was very reasonable!  Some of those blog designs are so expensive!  We are still...ok I say we, but I really mean she....is still working on trying to get my old signature off of the post, so for right now I have two of them!  But anyway, if you are looking to get a new design check her out.....her button is at the bottom of my blog!  Happy Wednesday!  By the Way....Tom got back from Russia on Saturday and I am going to let him post about his trip.....it was very interesting......be looking for that!

Happy Halloween!

I hope that everyone had a Happy Halloween!  I think that they should make Halloween always on a Saturday....but nobody asked me!  Anyway, I gathered up the werewolfe, and the little green alien (who refused to wear a mask) and headed out on a school night to get some candy!  I had the job of walking around the entire neighborhood getting candy, while Tom stayed behind and handed out candy!  Here are some pictures of our eventful evening!

Garrett scared half the little kids in the neighborhood with his mask on!

The red eye was by accident....but it seemed appropriate for an alien...don't you think???

I hope you had fun with your kiddos!  Big or small!!!!









Pumpkin Patch

How come I ask you.......do I have things envisioned in my head and then when we go to do them......they don't really come out quite like I want them to?????  Like the pumpkin patch!  I wanted my perfectly matching darling little boys to do just what I wanted them to....I don't know, like sit on about a million beautiful orange pumpkins for as long as I wanted them to without out complaining and do exactly what I wanted them to! And in magic land this is how our trip to the pumpkin patch went this afternoon, but in the real world it went a little something like this........""Mom, how long to I have to sit here, this is boring, are you done yet, I want a snowcone, I want a snowcone, I want a snowcone (whining, whining, whining).........."  Here are some pictures of our wonderful outing!

No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you....that is red snowcone all over Garrison's mouth!!!



Happy Fall Ya'll!!!!

Sunday Afternoon in Pictures

Happy Monday!



Karate Kid

Finally I was able to take some pictures of Garrett in his Karate class.  Last time he didn't want us to watch him, so I didn't get any, but this time I went in and snapped me some pictures!!  I am not so sure I really like this class.....I mean they have kids from 4 all the way to 9 years old.  It's really hard for them to get a lot of one on one attention.  Did I mention that there are about 50 kids in the class?  We may look into getting him in to a different place.....I'll keep you posted!  Here are some pictures of my darling...we had to keep reminding him that it was ok to hit the other kid:) 

He did get a point here!  This is only their 4th class!



They Call Me a Fireman.....

Fire Station 59 plus a few other guests

Last night Tom had a dinner for his fire station.  He has been on active duty with the Coast Guard for awhile and these guys have been wonderful to him.  So...he put them in for an award.  They came out last night to present it to them!

Here is Tom giving the award to Captain Johnson

Tom giving the award to Chief Medina

Here they are with the Fire Chief

If you didn't know this....in the fire department anytime you do anything like, I don't know have a birthday, or make your first fire, have your first kid whatever it is....they don't give you the food....your have to bring it so Tom brought this........

Yum!

And this.....

Yum!

And I brought these....although I don't think they appreciated them nearly as much as I did!

Here are some random pictures of Tom's Fire Station brothers!

Thank you guys for keeping my husband and each other safe everytime you go to work! 

Cake Balls

Seriously....Am I the last person to know about this or what????  I mean I am a serious cake lover!  I go to birthday parties, and weddings, and showers, strictly for the CAKE!  I did not know about cake balls.  Since starting at my new school I have had them twice and I love them!!!!  I had one today, I guess that is why they are on my brain!  Tom is having this thing for his fire station on Wednesday....and I ordered some to take to the station....Great Balls of Fire!  I mean really how cute is that??  But I mean along with all this cuteness does come a pretty big price tag, really $24.00 a dozen, but I couldn't resist!  I am going to try to attach a picture of the ones I ordered, along with the place I ordered from....she is in League City!  I will post some pictures of the thing at the fire station so you can see them in real life after Wednesday!  Happy Monday!

Great Balls of Fire......Too Cute!!!
