Bruno..Due Date: December 12
If you can make out heads or tails.. HaHa, no pun intended. This is the little litter.
Brandon and Bruno, our new Great Dane puppy.. Yes, I said great dane, he's only 3wks old here.
We're all for the looks-like-a-small-horse-but-is-really-a-dog club. Wanna join?
Awe Cuteness..
If you hadn't noticed, Brandon is in seventh heaven holding the little pup. We get him on Dec. 12 (as the title implies). We met the pups' parents and they are absolutely wonderful dogs. They are taller than Braden and the body of the parents are taller than Sydney. It was great fun. The adult dog actually wacked Syd in the head with its tail, not hard, but just enough that she yelled at it and gave crusties..Girls..Anyway, I'll keep ya posted.

Spencer's DAY.........sNoWWW
We went to bed last night with rain, and woke up to SNOW!! YEAhh. Spence was soo EXCITED! I had to capture the moment!
This is Spencer's 1st taste of snow. He said it tastes like Chicken!! Haa Haa! Just kidding, but that would have been cool. He told me in surprise that it tastes like ICE. WoW, that was shocking :).
He then utterly enjoyed himself throwing snowballs at me! Fun! Enjoy the pictures!

Halloween (You're welcome Candi, my STalker)
Let us begin this tale with Spencer's preschool. They were so adorable marching around the block. Ms. Karen was brilliant in her cute witch costume and Spence ate it all up!! For this march he was a pirate Jengo Fett. Nice, huh.
I put in two of pretty much the same pictures because I couldn't resist sharing this one! Braden reminds me of Princess Laya.. "Obi Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope." And yes, I just butchered the spelling of ALL of those names.. Nerds everywhere are lamenting. ..sorry. ..
I realized when I downloaded this role that I didn't take any pictures of Sydney.. oopsy! If she hadn't of screamed and cried and sweated so badly when I put her in the lamb costume I think I would have just taken a shot today of her, but I'm not putting myself- I mean, her through that again. Again I have to apologize to my blogviewers out there. But too bad! BTW they have so much candy that I think it will last us forever, or else next time you see me, NO I'm not pregnant, its just fat! Pure fat! From all the Halloween Candy, cursed Halloween!! Jk. Its always fun!

Pumpkin Carving Festivities,,,
Pumpkins.. They're AMAZzZing!! You can eat them, carve them, bake them in a pie or bash them. Btw- I don't really like people who do the latter, so don't do it. Anyway, a week before Halloween, we CarVed pumpkins. Yeahh! And it was A BLAST! Ice cream, pumpkins and stained hands. fun fun.
So I am still abit of a paranoid Mom and won't actually allow my kids to carve their own yet, but they drew the faces, and the adults carved, thank you Jay for helping.
Brandon got his miter or whatever it was powertool out and started hacking away at the pumpkin. We had quite the pumpkin dust pile flung all over half of our kitchen. Thank goodness, he noticed, I hate pointing out the obvious...! That only lasted for one pumpkin needless to say! If its not broken, don't fix it, right?- knives work BEST! None of this taking-after-my-dad-Brent-the-tool-man-power-tool-man.. :) Love you Brent.
So we couldn't have the kids sitting around while we carved away (and next year I think I'm gonna brave letting them have at it themselves..shudder)~ They had a special treat.. What says its-colder-than-we're-used-to, like ICECREAM?? MMmm vanillaey goooness (my favorite and I do the shopping. HaHa).
Then they chomped down their cones. It was a fun night.

Nostalgia.. San Diego Days
So..Here we are (from left to right) Becky, Heather, Me, Heather, Emily, Kirsten and Crystal. I haven't seen any of them for at least 11 years!! Wow. It was fun to see what everyone is up to. I couldn't remember half of the people they talked about, but that was ok.. I remembered names.
We are sitting at the dinner table, sampling Crystal's food storage-made desserts. The chocolate cake was my FAVE!!! It had pureed black beans in them..MMmm, nothing like alittle bean action in your cake.. I don't think I recognised any of the side effects beans have the next day though :). And just have to mention.. I don't know what I was thinking, but I sure look like I got caught in some headlights or something.. :) Anyway, it was fun, we might do it again sometime.
