Walking Dead Season 2!

The season 2 premier of Walking Dead showed on Sunday night and we just had to get all of our zombie lovin' friends/family together for a party.  As much as we wanted to go all out and have zombie type food and dress up and yada yada yada....I was too tired.  I just don't have the energy that I used to have BUT we still had a great time.  We were joined by Robert, Adam, Shannon, Kayson, Jocelyn and Steve and we all had a lot of fun.  We ended up ordering sub sandwiches from the Walmart Deli and served various chips and salsa with lots of soda to go around.  Jocelyn and Steve brought a really cool zombie brain dessert (jello with fruit and gummy worms) which was very exciting.  Jordan and I have been waiting a whole YEAR for this show to start back up again and not to sound dorky or anything but....it was GLORIOUS!  We LOVE LOVE LOVE Walking Dead and the first episode of season 2 did not disappoint.  If you haven't seen it you should check it out, especially during Halloween season!

So big!

We had a special birthday photo shoot the other day with my little Tobi who turns out....is not so little anymore!  We took him to one of my favorite parks and got some cute pictures of him in his special birthday shirt I made for him and then we also dressed him up all snazzy for some gorgeous black and whites for me to have.  I don't want to share the birthday pictures yet since we still have a couple weeks to go, but here are a few of my favorite non-birthday shots.

Halloween Jars

I found this project a few weeks ago and I just had to try it, it was too cute.  Shannon and I worked on a couple sets for each of us and today we got them finished.  I absolutely LOVE mine and I think they look great sitting in my window.

Olivia's Spongebob Party

This last weekend I got to take Tobi to Olivia's third birthday party which Roni and I have been planning pretty much since I got hired three months ago.  Roni put a LOT of work into this party and it turned out SO cute.  Little Olivia loves Spongebob and was so excited for her party.  Jocelyn and I got together the day before and baked some super cute Spongebob and Patrick sugar cookies.  They weren't perfect but I thought they turned out great and everyone loved them!  Jocelyn photographed the party (I wanted to enjoy myself as a guest this time around ha ha) and everyone seemed to have a great time, especially Olivia!

Happy Birthday Olivia, we love you!

F R I G H T M A R E S

Have I mentioned yet how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE halloween?  Because I do.  Like a lot.

Ever since Jordan and I got married, I've been dying to go to Frightmares at Lagoon with him, but alas...every year we are too poor to go.

Well not this year!

I got discounted tickets from Blendtec which I purchased right after I got hired and we've been saving them for Frightmares.  This weekend Chace took Tobi, and Jocelyn and Steve took the puppies so that Jordan and I could go together.  It was AMAZING.  Seriously, I was so happy to finally be there with him that I could have cried.  Pathetic I know.  Here is why I love Frightmares so much:

1.  It's hoodie weather so we're not roasting in the heat and we're not freezing either.
2.  Not as many people go because they think it's too cold which means NO LINES!
3.  The whole place is decked out in halloween craziness and they have the BEST halloween entertainment ever.  No joke!
4.  And they have special haunted houses and spooky mazes to celebrate the best the holiday ever...Halloween!

We went on ALL the rides we wanted to go on, and even went on a few of our favorites two or three times each.  There was seriously no wait on any of the rides, we were on and off and on our way to the next in no time at all, it was great!  We watched their halloween shows later that night and walked through Nightwalk (their scariest haunted walk-thru) which was terrifying!  I had SO much fun that I'm determined to make it an annual tradition.  I would much rather go to Frightmares in October than go during the summer, it's so much better.

If you haven't been yet...GO!  For reals!  You won't regret it!

Avery's 2nd Birthday Party

A few weeks ago Jocelyn and I got to photograph the CUTEST birthday party.  The theme was Milk & Cookies, with a special emphasis on 2% milk since it was her 2nd birthday...how cute is that!!  Jennifer, the fabulous planner and mommy to the birthday girl, had a gorgeous setup complete with a milk mustache photo booth.  They extended a special invite to Tobi since I was photographing the party which I thought was so sweet and he had so much fun.  We took Avery a super fun finger paint set for her gift and unfortunately we didn't get to see her open it because we had to leave a little early.  I'm so happy we got to go though and Jennifer did an AMAZING job on this party.

Happy Birthday Avery!

This is Halloween

October is here and I am so beyond thrilled!  Halloween is by far my FAVORITE holiday.  Seriously.  I love it!  I have so many fun happenings going on this month and I CANNOT wait.  I have some fun activities, fun crafts, awesome photo shoots, a few baking days...it's gonna be so great.  So, I am thrilled to present you with Octobers desktop (it could have been a little more Halloween-y but oh well)....ta da!
