Halloween Festivities

We have definitely enjoyed our fair share of festivities over the past two weeks. So originally Ali wanted to be a fairy for Halloween. Well, mom got crafty and using DIY made her some, but after flipping through all my camera cards tonight, realized I have NO photos of them. Mom's not a crafty person but I would have to say, they turned out pretty cute. She did end up wearing them to a library Halloween night.
So we hit ZOOBOO on Thurs night. We had an awesome weather night. All the animals were out and active. She chose to be a princess this night.
Of course we decorated pumpkins, Alison didn't want to "cut into" hers so we opted for this Princess Pumpkin kit instead.

Mom, Dad, and Alison working hard at carving Mom and Dad's pumpkins with the added bonus of celebrating Lindsay's 30th!!! Happy Birthday to you :)

And we are off trick or treating and she chose to be a BSU cheerleader!!! Perfect for the chilly weather we had. Here she is asking Daddy if she can choose "2" pieces from the dish. :)

Here's Ali and Chris with Mom and Dad's pumpkin. Yes, Mom's is the basic one on the L. I enjoy carving pumpkins for about 30 min. but Chris is WAY advanced and did the awesome one on the R.
We also enjoyed a trip to the Pumpkin patch this year. We had a great fall season and Happy Halloween....now we are ALL on a sugar high from the candy and oddly enough, Alison tasted cotton candy for the first time....and didn't like it :( Crazy little child hunh?! What's not to love about pure sugar?!

Fyffe/Fleck Wedding Fun

Chris and I headed up North this weekend for an extra-special event....the wedding of our close friends Carla and John. We had the best time. The bride was beautiful, John was sweet as ever, the church was quaint, and the reception was a P-A-R-T-Y!!! Sweet Ali girl was in the safe hands of Meme and Papa and I'm pretty sure not one second went down that she wasn't spoiled :) Thanks again Mom and Dad for allowing us a getaway night! Thanks to Carla and John for such a fun time and we wish you the sweetest lifetime of love!
The 4 besties....bride, groom, bridesmaid, and usher! We love you guys!!

Me and Lindsay....you are the sweetest friend ever, I'm so blessed. Love ya!!!! yes, I have no idea who the guy in the background is nor do I know what gang sign he's making, ha! If Lindsay and I look a little sweaty and tired...that is b/c we BOOGIED down that night!!!

Me and the bride...Carla Jane. I hope the day/night was everything you'd dreamed it to be. We had an amazing time, thank you for including us.

Chris and I, we clean up nice, hunh?

Well since we were at a wedding we had to work on this relationship of a future pre-arranged marriage, ha! This is Robby and Lydia, just a week apart. Adorable!!!

Lindsay....here is your new tricycle and I don't think it could be any better do you?!

This week in review

So a bunch of randomness for this week. Nothing to exciting...library, grocery, dance class, work for Mommy, school for Alison.....but here are some definite highlights of the week...to make us smile :)

We did get to watch this little doll on Friday afternoon...can you say sweetheart?!

Ali did get to bring home her snack from school on Friday...aren't I lucky??!!! Seriously, why do bakeries have to put SO much icing on cupcakes??!We did get to sport our new bathrobe this week....and note to Mom and Dad, Alison has perfected the Michael Jackson move!

Go Cardinals!!

Who needs to sit at the table and eat when you can stretch and reach it on the countertop, right? and who needs pants??

AAAHHH, a special surprise from Miss Lindsay...she's SSOOOO scary!

Mommy's surprise of the week....thank you Chris-O. I love you and these were much appreciated!
