Halloween Fun!

The kids had such a blast this year on Halloween night! Before we knew that there was a neighboorhood get together we had already planned to have some family over and cookout ourselves, but the kids still got to hang out with their friends and play and go trick or treating with them! I made some green chili shredded beef and my mom made red chili shredded beef and we made burritos and just relaxed in the garage with the family and just hung out and visited! We even had some neighboors join us for a bit! Michael and the guys handed out the candy and us ladies took the kids out.

Trick or Treat!

Saturday we were invited with some friends to a carnival.

Thank you Danielle for inviting us! We had a BLAST!!

Jake climbing the rock wall-he's a monkey! The kids all started at the same time and he is almost finished!

Caden climbing--he would not climb any higher than this..I think he was like 3 ft off the ground. He definatley does not have his brothers daring personality.

Adysen and Alexa--BFF

Hope everyone had an AWESOME and SAFE Halloween Weekend!

The Festivities Have Begun!!!

This weekend was just the start to all the super FUN holiday festivities coming our way! I love this time of the year! It's always SUPER BUSY but always SUPER FUN! Friday night we took the kids to Mother Nature Farms Pumpkin Patch in Gilbert . We went with the McManigal Family and my in-laws. We usually go to Schneph Farms every year and decided to change it up a little this year. The kids loved Mother Nature Farms, but it is definatley no Shneph Farms by any means. Sorry to say.. I have no pictures :( However, on our way home (after listening to me complain the whole night probably cause I did not have a camera--lol.) my husband took me to Best Buy and bought me a camera!! So I am back in buisness!!! Whoo-Whoo.

Saturday was the Foshee Family Fall Fest out at the farm! It was so much fun and all the kids had a blast! We went on a hayride and along the way even got to see a cow giving birth to a calf, which the kids were so fascinated with. There was a pie eating contest, face painting, pin the tail on the pig, pinata,carmel apples, and lots of yummy food! So much fun!

DOUBLE TROUBLE!

So long fall break...hello ROUTINE!

Although I love having my boys at home and LOVED sleeping in. It is so nice to have everyone back on a schedule and on a routine again!

We had an awesome fall break... We had alot of playdates and the boys enjoyed hanging out with their neighboor friends too! I still do not have a camera, so I just took some quick shots of some of the things we did on my camera phone.

Here are some of the things we did on fall break....


The boys did alot of swimming and mommy tried to do some reading
( i have been working on a book for 4 months now).


We played alot of late night games...Guess Who was our favorite!



My SIL and I took the kids to the zoo!






The kids went to Grandma's to help plant flowers!






And of course laundry and chores still had to be done. Adysen love to pull out the clothes and put them in the laundry basket.


Although we had a great fall break the boys were ready to go back to school today (and so was mommy)!!!




Hope everyone had an awesome fall break!!!

Yes I am still whining and frustrated! Please Help!

I have taken a couple of pictures of the kitchen, living, dining, and entry way(unfortunatley with my camera phone because my camera finally bit the dust)... I am just trying to focus on the main area of the house now and then I will get to the bedrooms and baths. Any clever decorating ideals or tips for me that you could give I would greatly appreciate it and SO need them!! And I have been watching as much HGTV as I can Janel, which is not a lot, but what I do get to watch I am loving it!!! Thank you for the awesome tip! I definatley feel like I need some color! Everything to me just feels so BLAH!


Kitchen


Great Room


Dining Room


My long entry way...I have no ideal what do with..there is so much wall space!!




This is something that I tried to be creative and do..I taped out a huge rectangle and painted inside the rectangle and then framed it in and place the rod iron scroll in it...then my husband suggested a bench so we did that and then I had this tree left over with no where to put it so I stuck it there...what do you think?? Is the tree too big to be placed there? This set of decor is right when you walk my front door to the left...Honestly what does everyone think...My feelers wont be hurt if it looks absolutley horrible..I need HONEST input!!!

So frustrated........

I am so frustrated with the inside of my house!!! I am so not crafty at all and my decorating skills are horrible! I cannot make up my mind about anything and I am so back and forth and changing my mind constantly that nothing ever gets done!!!!!! We have been in this house for almost 2 1/2 years and it still has no touch to it! Besides the fact that we need a new couch and my husband wants to wait until the kids are a little older (since we can't have anything nice with three little ones), which I understand his point of view, but I can't stand looking at it any longer!! Arrrrrghhh. I just feel like everything is half done and I am not a person that likes anything done halfways. I know poor me....lol. It always bugs me that nothing is complete in this house, but for some reason it is really crawling under my skin today!!!!

We are going to miss you Titan...

We are sad to say we lost a very special member of our family earlier this afternoon. Our American Bull Dog Titan passed away. We are not sure as to why he passed. He had been acting kind of funny since yesterday and was not really eating his food. When Michael went to let him in this morning from outside, he did not want to come in, which was very odd. Michael had decided that if he was not feeling better by tomarrow that we would take him to the vet. Unfortunatley, we did not act fast enough.

We had a "doggie funeral" for him this evening out at my parents farm and burried him there. The boys are having a hard time with the whole thing. They know that Titan is in "doggie heaven" (as they say) and they are okay with that because they understand that heaven is such an amazing place, but they still have a hard time with him being gone and not here with our family. We all miss him very much!

These are some of the things that we love and remember of Titan:

-He made us laugh by all his goofy things that he would do.
-He was gigantic (125 pounds), we called him our security system.
-He cleaned the floors when the kids were done eating and then I would have to mop the floor because I was then grossed out! lol.
-He played so good with the boys (even though he would get carried away and knock the boys over at times).
-He would lay on the floor to play with Adysen and was so gentle and relaxed with her.
-He loved to play fetch.
-He loved to go on his nightly walks with Michael
-He loved to play with his cousin Chloe (across the street)
-He was the biggest spaz!

He was just the greatest dog!!

Titan we are going to miss you sooo... much!!

(I know this is such a sad post, but I had to keep it for our journal)
