YEA!!!!!

CARRIE IS IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW HAVING HER BABY!!!!!! i will of course post pictures once she gets here! early CONGRATS!!!!

My Sparing Boy!

So now that Blaine is a green belt, (well, actually he is a purple belt now...a post on that will be coming) he has started SPARING!!! we ordered all the gear and last thursday was actually his first day! so of course i was there taking pictures and videos the whole time of my BABY fighting!!! don't worry, it's all safe and pretty mellow!

Blaine loves sparing now...but the only thing he did say was "it's hard to sit will all the stuff on!" they have to wear: helmet, chest gaurd, elbow/forearm guards, shin/foot gurads and yes...a CUP!!!!

Blaine is so cute and i am so proud of all his hard work. we will work on sparing so he can kick butt!...but this was his first time, so...not bad!

Blaine and his morning cup of JOE~

...even 4 year olds need a pick me up every now and then! don't worry, it's just hot chocolate! he just looked so cute drinking it!

just a quick catch up....

So....we have a new president, and i'm not too sure how i feel about that. BUT i am VERY EXCITED that prop 8 passed!!!!! after all our hard work knocking doors, making calls, hanging door hangers, holding signs, posting signs, bumper stickers, re-posting the STOLEN signs and millions of dollars...PROP 8 PASSED and marriage has been preserved and restored! (for now) Anyway, so last night i was flipping through channels watching the election updates and then i looked over on the couch and saw this.....


apparently Blaine was ready for the elections to be over too! He was my good helper with all our prop8 volunteer work...Blaine worked hard too and was wiped out!

Now, i know i already posted a bunch of Halloween stuff...but none of that was "actual" halloween night, so here are some pictures of that!

Buzz...my little hero!

We had our friends the Wallets come over for dinner (jake's homemade chili...yumm) and then go trick or treating with us. I love Devon's costume...a little chicken! she was so cute!

The funniest thing was that the kids had more fun answering the door and giving out candy, then actually getting their own candy. the door bell would ring and they would both race to the door yelling "customer customer!!"

we gave most of blaine's candy away...yes we are one of "THOSE" parents. but he still made out with a lot of good stuff!

Halloween fun!

We have been having way too much Halloween Fun this week, and we haven't even had the traditional trick or treating door to door yet! Here are a couple fun highlights:

Blaine's Preschool had a little Halloween program...it was so cute. Here is his picture of

FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS!!

Here is his class...lots of different costumes!

Me and my cutie Buzz Lightyear.

Blaine and Ms. Shirley

Then we had Jake's annual work party! Blaine decided to switch it up and went as Woody and Bullseye. And can you guess what Jake is??

Yep...Jake was DWIGHT SCHRUTE!!! from "The Office"...the resemblance is a little scary! I just slapped some wings on and that was my costume...and Aaron went as a cutie little penguin!

We also were able to make it over to Disneyland this week to enjoy the Halloween decorations one more time! Blaine had one more costume change back into Buzz! We don't even know for sure what he wants to dress up as tonight!

We love when the Haunted Mansion is decorated for "nightmare before christmas!" it's fun! we are having a great week and we hope all of you have a
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

SERIOUSLY!!!???!!

So i was driving to work this morning and i was stopped at a light behind this guy!! he put this on his car!! "Me drive fast? Ok Buy my gas!" so of course i had to take a quick picture...i was cracking up. and then when i passed him (because YES he was driving slow) it was this old asian guy...which explains the awesome grammar! I love people who made me laugh!
