halloween!!!!!! wahahahahhhhhh!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!SO I THINK THIS IS GROSS YET FASCINATING...PEOPLE HAVE CAME UP WITH SOME INCREDIBLE HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS....THIS ONE LOOKED PRETTY REAL

SO CODY AND I SPENT THE EVENING WITH THE FABULOUS BROWN FAMILY. IT IS SO FUN TO GO TRICK-OR-TREATING ESPECIALLY WITH CUTE KIDS WHO ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT EVERYTHING!

ZANDER WAS A FEARSOME PIRATE. HE WAS CRACKING ME UP ALL NIGHT WITH HIS PIRATE TALK. I LOVE THAT KID.: SILVERSTASH THE DREADED PIRATE....RUN AND HIDE SO HE WON'T MAKE YOU WALK THE PLANK!AMARI WAS A SWEET DALMATIAN, I THINK BY THE END OF THE NIGHT SHE WAS EVEN BARKING. SHE TOUGHED IT OUT AND SPENT MOST OF THE NIGHT TRICK-OR-TREATING WITH US. sIGH, SHE IS SO CUTE.DRAKE WAS JANGO FHETT AND VERY SCARY "GIVE ME SOME CANDY OR I'LL SHOOT YOU" WAS THE BEST PHRASE OF THE NIGHT. CODY BROUGHT OUT LIGHTSABERS AND DRAKE AND CODY DUELED ALL NIGHT LONG. CODY LOVES TO HAVE SOMEONE TO THROW AROUND AND I THINK DRAKE DOESN'T MIND THE ROUGH PLAY TOO MUCH. I HELD HIS HELMET IN BETWEEN HOUSES...THOSE THINGS ARE HARD TO SEE THROUGH. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK JANGO'S REAL FACE LOOKS LIKE? PROBABLY NOT AS CUTE AS OUR DEAR DRAKEY!IRELYND DIDN'T EVEN DRESS UP. SHE IS AN ANGEL WHO MANAGED TO GAIN A VERY HEAVY CANDY BAG BY SMILING LIKE A PRINCESS AND GRANTING A FEW WISHES...DO ANGELS GRANT WISHES? WELL WHEN I BECOME ONE I AM GOING TO! MINDY WAS A VERY SCARY LADY. IT IS FUNNY TO SEE HER SMILE WITH THAT WICKED MAKEUP ON. NOT MANY PEOPLE RECOGNIZED HER AS WE WALKED AROUND FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE I THINK IT IS A NICE WITNESS TO HER SWEET COUNTENANCE AND ALWAYS SMILING FACE! PS SHE ALSO MADE THE BEST BREADSTICKS, SOUP, AND PUMPKIN BARS!...MMMMM

CUTE BROWNS IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE. THEY ARE VERY FESTIVE. I HOPE TO BE LIKE THAT WHEN I GROW UP!

AMARI WENT STRAIGHT FOR THE CANDY BASKET ONCE WE ARRIVED HOME. SHE DOESN'T CRAWL YET BUT SHE IS JUST AS EFFICIENT AS SCOOTING TO WHEREVER SHE WOULD LIKE TO GO.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BROWNS GIGANTIC PUMPKINS--THEY ARE HUGE...I GUESS JASON CARVED THEM WITH A SAWSALL. MY QUESTION IS WHAT DID THEY DO WITH ALL THE INNARDS EKKK

THIS IS THE KIDS TRICK-OR-TREATING

DRAKE AND I WERE BOTH VERY FEROCIOUS ...GRRRRR

CODY TOOK HIS TURN HOLDING MARMAR SO THAT I COULD TAKE PICTURES...I TOOK SOME REALLY AWESOME ONES WITH MINDY'S CAMERA TOO THAT I COULDN'T GET OFF OF HER COMPUTER...

THIS GUY WAS VERY SCARY. PEOPLE APPARENTLY DON'T REALIZE THAT MANY OF THIS LITTLE FIGURES ARE REALLY LITTLE KIDS NOT FEARSOME PIRATES. LOOK AT POOR ZANDERS FACE THIS GUY WAS VERY LOUD AND GROWLY TOO. HE SCARED ME NOT TO MENTION SOMEONE 20 YEARS YOUNGER THEN ME. ZANDER WAS ULTRA SCARY IN JASON'S MASK...I THINK I HAD NIGHTMARES ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT..EEEEKKK

my cutie daddy

...so as we were googgling yesterday (we = abby, mom, & me) found this cutie picture of dad getting his eagle scout award. Isn't he darling? I miss that guy :(

PUmpKiN cARvInG!!

Carve a pumpkin, Carve a pumpkin, see what fun, see what fun, have a jack-o-lanturn, have a jack-o-lanturn, when your done, when your done. (Try as a round -it's really fun --right mom?)

Carving pumpkins was FHE last week with
our good friends Sandy & David Litster

Light was low so it's a little blurry but we are having so much fun!I know, we are the scariest things there!!!Note: We are trying to look like the pumpkin.

the sixth sense

some people possess a sixth sense --where they can sense that there is someone approaching or behind them or nearby...the girl I hit with my bike today...she didn't have it

FRIGHTMERES!!

Frightmeres at Lagoon is a lot of money for a lot of fun. I managed to convince my bestest friends to come with me. First we all made our very scarest jackalantern faces...Marion and Mark....ooh scaryThis is crazy Stephanie and Steve (who has a cute scream)This is Sarah and Derek...

This is Cody and me...I think I maybe started laughing but originally I was very fearsome!

Mark was super rebellious and took his picture on the grass...













We tried out some different halloween costumes...
































Sarah and Derek went on the SKYCOASTER!

Mark and Cody look dashing with their sweaters...





Oh a totally cute couple! So this was before the hunted house which I walked though with my arms around cody's chest and my face buried in his back...it wasn't even scary! :) This video is everyone's anticipation as we are about to embark on WICKED...dun dun dun

Happy Halloween Season EVERYONE!

Coley Olie's Wedding! woOt!

My bestest bud Nicoley got married on October 13th 2007.
It was a beautiful ceremony but not as beautiful as she was.
That Nicole is a gorgeous girl!
I was lucky enough to be asked to be one of her bridesmaids and counted among her best friends. Her wedding was so amazing it was like one of those in the magazines and McCall was the most awesome place to be in the fall.


















This is before the rehearsal dinner which was at a country club in Meadow... something...amazing cornbeef and pink lemonade.

That night we all relaxed in the hot tub and then wandered the halls of the whitetail in fuzzy bath robes and took funny pictures.




This is the morning before the wedding --Nicole is reflecting on the biggest decision of her life will she or will she not get married and leave single life behind FOREVER?! (isn't McCall pretty)






....last minute fixations before the pictures...it is a gourgeous dress...ps that is me in the front. My hair was a little poofy in front but it looks pretty from the back hu?







Nicole and Mike running off all married with confetti in their hair!











.....sitting at the long table four bridesmaids me, sarah, becky, and katie (I am sitting at the end because it is closest to Cody! :))

















The bridesmaids and the newlyweds...


















It was freezing cold because the airconditioner was right on us (it's a good thing I brought all those coverups...they came in handy). We were so cold that we ordered hot chocolate...nice service they have there hu?




LET THE DANCE BEGIN...

Last dance with daddy... and the first dance with new hubby-poo. Isn't Nicole beautiful?!



















The dance floor was crazy!
If you don't believe me check out the video. I had a fabulous time...it was like my own wedding only none of my family was there and I didn't have to leave early! Isn't my husband an amazing dancer and incredibly sexy. I love him!

I am the worst cake decorator EVER

So this last week we celebrated two relatives birthdays...I love making cake but no matter what I do I can't seem to make them look good...but really no one cares what they look like as long as they taste GOOD! right? Joe's was chocolate icecream cake and kensie got white cake.
the funny thing I missed after I cut off the video is Paul said something like "looks like Joe's finally getting married." That Paul- he is so funny.
