A Halloween in Wonderland!!!

We had a blast this Halloween, but before I share those pictures... we have been just enjoying this fall. Here are some of my extra shots...
 Some bath time back side =)


 The cooler weather made me want some home made bread BUT my mom and I accidently doubled the recipe =/ Still turned out delicious, but made for yet another laughable moment =)
 My cute little one waiting for Dad to get home from golfing so we can go get a pumpkin.
 We went to a near by pumpkin patch (which has grown since I was little!!!)...
 ... this monkey was a crack up! You hand him a dollar, he quickly puts it in his pocket, tips his hat to you and shakes your hand... all while eating a cheeto! I thought Karly would be a little freaked out of him... but NOOOO WAY! She was HAPPY to shake his hand!
 Karly climbing the hay castle with Dad.
 Obama and Karly =) Just kidding mom... Karly has started saying "anma" with a "b" sound at the front and it sort of sounds like "Obama". So it is my moms new nickname... lets just say she is NOT FOND OF IT AT ALL!!! =)
 Our growing family =)
 Karly loved the Kettle Corn... she rode around the whole place in a wheel barrel that they provide for you to pick out your pumpkin in... FUN!!!
 Smiling with her Pumpkin =)
 And with her Daddy...
 and her Family =)
 Checking out the small pumpkins with Amy...
 ... pretty girls!
 We had so much fun!
 Pumpkin carving time!!!.....
 She was not shy about the process in the least...
 go baby go!
 =)
" Mom this is so much fun! "
 A shot I had to add... just laxin with her dad watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!
 Another shot I had to add... Oreo cookie teeth... he is getting so good with the pictures =) He also let Karly and I paint his toes... I WAS SOOOO HAPPY AND LAUGHING MY ASS OFF! (he would not let me take a picture of that though!)
 Our theme this year for Halloween was Alice in Wonderland... so our pumpkin of course is the Chesire cat =)
 Playing with mom around the house!
 Matching mom and daughter nails and toes =)
 and a night spent on Halloween eve up at grandmas for potatoe cheese soup... YUM!
 ... and now the big reveal of our cutest queen of hearts (from the NEW Alice and Wonderland movie!) Kar getting her make-up on!
 Soooo hilarious!...
 ... complete with her flamingo crocket mallot...
 she played the part really well!
 Aunt Kate and Kar on our way to Rob and Lisas.
 E-man and Hailz =)
 All the kids
 Love the look Kar is giving in this shot!
 Jenna tied in real well with Karly in her Mad Hatter costume... Karly was calling her ALL NIGHT LONG..." JENNNNAAAA!?!?"
 Ashley's little cutie Andee... thinking "what in the world is up with this chicks make-up?"
 Just kidding, they were pizza pals... sat and ate their whole meal together!
 Auntie Sue with all the kids.
 ... still rockin it!
 Macy girl
 Kar and Bella
 The whole gang at the Lee house!
 ... Kar stayed up 'til about 11:00 watching tv with us until she finally knocked out on me... then woke up and played some more with Amy!
We had an AWESOME HALLOWEEN... so much fun to see everyones great costumes! Happy belated one from us!

Happy "last year of being young"!!! =)

The title of my post will be explained in a little bit... first let's look back at the past few exctiting week starting with Amy getting into a fight...
with her 21 month old neice!!! Guess who won?... ok not quite a fight, they were playing and Kar's tiny little finger almost touched Auntie Mayme's brain =/ oops!
 Here is my little fighter and one of Grandma Leah's bears which she is attached to at the hip lately =)
 We took a weekend to go out and shop for Amy's homecoming dance... shopping with the girls is always fun!
 So is picking out super ugly dresses and taking silly pictures =)
 That's my girl! Kar is repeating EVERYTHING we say now,"Pitha" is one of my favorites in her language!
 At this outdoor mall we they have the coolest water show that the kids can play in...
 ... Kar was a little more shy than the girl behind her in the picture! ...
 ...she is so cute!..
 ... "Guys! Check this out!"...
 ... she makes friends quickly! ...
 ... but took her time getting all the way in!!!...
 So much fun!
 A quick shopping trip to get Kar some pj's since she was completely soaked! And a sweet treat from mom! Time to cuddle up to Aunt Kate.... the best!!!
 She would look at her hands all sugary from the churro and look all surprised! =)
 Look mom!

 She couldn't get enough!
 Playing in the car while we wait for Grandma to use the restroom... in Kar's words, "ha... where andma at?"
 Auntie Mayme can always get Kar going =)
 Cutest bod ever!
 Like I said before... LOVE a day out with the girls!!!
 And now the title of my post... Ricky celebrated his 29th birthday this past weekend and that is what I told him in his card =) I know I am a butt... don't worry I will be starting that year in May!
 It is always fun when we can get both of our families together! We all enjoy eachother! Here is Michelle, Kar and what you can see of Bella!
 Carlos trying out Karly's quad =)
 Karly getting mad at me cuz she wants to take a picture! "Mo - om... meeee try!" So the following are her shots...
 Uncle David and Aunt Kate
 Auntie Mayme and Andma
 The two loves of my life blowing out the birthday candles together! =) Ricky requested a tirmasu cake from his mom this year.... SOOOOO GOOOD is an understatement! Kathie... you NEVER dissappoint! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE... I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!
 The same night Amy had her homecoming... she got ready at our house, and we got to see all the girls dressed up!
 Andrea, Becca, Amy and Danielle
 Bella and Karly were mesmorized by the girls... so I had to get a shot with them too!
 Paulina got off work just in time to give Amy a big hug!
 Bella girl... growing up so fast!
 The homecoming beauty and the birthday beast =)
 Best friends...
 ... these two are a crack up together!
 Mom had to get a picture with her girls! Mom... r u shrinking? =)
 A quick touch up...
 ... and a bra check from mom...
and they were off!!! You all looked so beautiful girls!!! LOVE YOU! 
 This sonogram was actually done on me when I was 13 weeks... I am already 16 this Saturday (time flies) but it was the most clear sonogram I have EVER had! So I had to share... here is the baby looking straight at us!
... and a side shot... the doctor actually told me it is possible to tell what the sex is this early BUT VERY RARE that the baby will be that cooperative... and ours is a MOVER! Every visit the doctor comments on how much the baby is moving! =) The "big" sonogram is set for November 22nd!!! I am feeling wonderful and eating EVERYTHING IN SIGHT! =)
Everybody has been asking to see my belly... so here it is! 4 months... 5 months to go! =) Can't wait to meet this little one!
