pumpkins? are you kidding?

every year, the night before my giant halloween party, i buy 20 ish giant pumpkins and have a pumpkin carving party. its soooo much fun. apparently a little more fun than normal was had last year, because i HAVE PUMPKINS growing in my back yard. if they live and actually turn into pumpkins ill have at least 30. hahaha. thats awesome.

hot mess....

mikey and my birthdays are 8 days a part. for as long as i can remember we have had our partys together... this year was no different. we bbq'd and drained some kegs... i have a ton of pictures to go through, but i promise ill get them up :)

i love birthdays....

this was the very first time ive gotten to meet him and kiss his sweet baby cheeks. he is nicks little pineapple baby for sure! 

i hate being so far away, i always feel like im missing soooo much. 

nick and cheree came and met us for dinner in old town right before we headed home. i was so happy that they made the drive from campo to come see me. coyotes in old town was wonderful as always, margaritas were better! i miss you guys already... give the nugget kisses for me :)

sundays are the best days...
