Stony Hill Baptist Church Trunk-or-Treat 2012

When I was little I used to LOVE halloween!  I would dress up every year and as a family we would go to family members and friends houses to get candy! As I have grown up, halloween has not been my favorite activity.  Dressing up is fun, but I do not enjoy going to halloween parties, and when I was living at my parents house we only had about 3 trick-or- treaters.  When Jake and I were in college, it became exciting again!  Student services decided on a theme for the whole campus and all the girls dorms were to decorate according to the theme.  Then on October 31, the professors would brings their kids by and let them trick-or-treat to the college kids.  It was a fun twist on Halloween!   Well this year was different and I LOVED it!  We did a Trunk-or-Treat at church.  I have never participated in a trunk-or-treat, so I really didn't know what to expect.  It was a HUGE hit!!  There were about 20 cars that decorated their trunks (nothing scary of course) and it was a safe place for the kids to run around and have a little fun!  I really enjoyed it because we actually had Trick-or-Treaters!! It was fun to see the kids all dressed up!

After church we went to Krispy Kreme because if you went in wearing your costume you received a FREE doughnut!!! 

Halloween 2012 was AWESOME!!
Can't wait till Next Year!

Happy Birthday Manda!

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to Manda!
Happy Birthday to you!!!
Manda was my second college roommate and I am so thankful for her!  We had many wonderful times together!  Staying up late talking, studying, going to McDonalds at CRAZY hours of the night, Bible Studies, etc.  I love Manda!  She has definitely become one of my best friends!  I have learned since college that your roommate can either be your best friend of your worst enemy!! I am so thankful that I had AWESOME college roommates!  

Happy Birthday Manda!!! I hope you have an AWESOME day!!

Date Night In

Hot Chocolate is one of my favorite things when it is cold outside!  We have not turned the heat on at our apartment yet, so it is also cold inside (between 62-65 degrees).  After supper, we were trying to decide what to do!! It was our first night with nothing to do in quite a while, since Jake's softball season is over, so we decided to have a date night in!  

We did not have any instant hot chocolate, so I used milk and chocolate syrup (which in my opinion is better anyway) and we were set! 

 We cuddled up on the couch with our mugs and our Trigger boy and enjoyed a night of relaxing which was MUCH needed!
Our...well MY movie of choice was Miss Congeniality 2.  I have watched the first one MULTIPLE times, but I had never seen the second.  I'v got to say...it was HILARIOUS!! 


We had such a fun time spending our evening together!! We were both in our pajamas, drinking hot chocolate, and cuddling!  I'm not sure how is could have gotten better!

Pedicures with Aunt Lucy

Have I mentioned how much I love being an Aunt?? I love spending time with with this little girl!! While I was at my parents this weekend Janessa found the Pedicure set we have that includes a inflatable foot bath, heart shaped soap flakes, and toe separators (for painting).  Oh boy...when she found this did she get excited!! She begged for us to "Give her feet a bath" all through supper.  When it was finally time to "Give her feet a bath" she was super excited!  
Did I mention we let her sit on the counter while her feet were soaking??
 Then we started playing in the bubbles!! 
Then it was time to dry off and PAINT!!!  We TRIED to use the toe separator things but her little feet were too small.
Pretty Toes!!! Trigger even got his little foot in the picture!
