Its Halloween time!!

  

Its Halloween time & We had so much fun!!!

So many fun festivities. Lucille was Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. I am proud to say that I did make her costume. Well my Mom helped a bit, but I conquered the majority of it all by myself. 

She was such a cute Dorothy wasn't she!?

We had our fun share of Halloween time at Disneyland, Its so fun this time of year.

We first dressed up ( & when I say we, I mean Lucy, we were losers & didn't dress up this year) For my Nephew Sloan's Halloween themed Birthday party, Then we went to Treats in the Streets in Old town Orange, and then Trunk or Treating at my Brother Kenny & his wife Jill's ward. Next was actual Halloween, we went down to Jeff's work & they had some fun festivities going on. We wanted to go actual Trick or Treating BUT life has its struggles & Lucy was STRUGGLING that night with some major tantrums. Oh the terrible 2's. not my favorite.  Over all Halloween was a hit. Lucy loved trick or treating & she kept on signing & saying "Thank You" to everyone after they gave her candy. 

She is so smart. 

                                                                                                                                                                                

Here is Jeff & his sister, holding each others babies. This is Brayden isn't her cute!? He was Winnie the Pooh. Its fun having all these babies around. 

Wedding!!

 One of my very best friends Julianne, that I have known since I was in 6th grade, got married to her love Jarod this last Saturday 10.8.11 at Pepperdine University. It was a beautiful ceremony & a Delicious reception that was held at Maggiano's!!

Julianne has been in my life for over 14 years now. She is the greatest girl. We lost touch a bit a few years ago, but I am SO happy we have gotten back into each others lives.

I look back at my teenage years & SO many of my memories were with her & Trisha! Oh boy did we get into some major trouble together. I laugh every time we talk about the "Old times".

Here is Jeff & I after the ceremony!! Isn't Jeff so Handsome with his glasses & beard!? I think so!

The bride, Julianne herself... SO beautiful! I was honored that she asked me to do her H&M for her wedding!!! It turned out gorgeous!!

Trisha Risha! I have know Trisha since I was 14 years old, so going on 12 years!! She was married back in June. I need to post photos of her wedding as well!!

 AND the three of us as the reception!! We had so much fun dancing the night away!! 

Congratulations to Jarod & Julianne. We are SO happy for you two!!

YO Gabba Gabba!!

This morning we went out to Downey to the YGG set where my Brother in law Justin was. (He is the talent producer of the show & 2 of my cousins are the creator & director) It was So much fun seeing the characters & seeing all the behind the scenes of the show. I went the last few years but it is much for exciting with Lucille. She adores YGG. You can tell by her face below she didn't know what to think! It was kinda funny! 

My Mom, Jill, Lola & my Mom's friend Michelle & her 3 girls came along. It was great!!

Just a silly photo of myself. The past  few months i have been rockin' the middle part, & I like, BUT recently I have been loving my side part, especially with my long bangs!

AND I have found my new favorite lip color. It looks WAY better in person than this photo.

Well Hello ALL! I have missed you. Its back to blogging. As I looked back at what I have posted I'd like to pat myself on the back. I was pretty good at it, so lets try this again! 

I've got a a lot of lovin' to share.

FIRST things first. I got a new niece!!! YAYY! Isn't she adorable. Her name is Monroe Nicole Born September 14th at 1:19PM

( I think she looks like me)

Secondly, Jeff's Sister Heather also had a baby... a boy named Brayden Scott 

(I don't have any photos of) on 9.26.11. YAY for babies!!

Fall is in the air. I am more than thrilled about this. I love this time of year. Who doesn't right!?

I decided to decorate what we have. a small bedroom. It wouldn't be the holidays without any decorations.  I didn't want it to be too cluttered either. Simply but to the point! haha!

This is form last night. Lucille was straight out of the tub . she hopped up on Jeff's lap & was glued to the TV watching Yo Gabba Gabba!  Its her fave!

The Graduate!

After 6 years of school, my man finally graduated! 

He graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting.

 For as long as I've known Jeff he has been in school. When we started dating he was over at Fullerton college where he got his Associates degree. We were thrilled when he started at CSUF,  because

that meant we only had 2 more years. Little did we know that in The mix of those 2 years, we would have a child. He was working full time at In-n-Out going to school full time and he had to deal with a wife and child at home. What hard work and dedication it took for him to stay up all might long working on projects and exams. He is such a hard worker. 

Feelings can't describe how proud I am of Jeff. He is an over achiever and so smart at everything. He has about 50 business books that he likes to read on his free time. Who does that? It has been just about a week and he's not even taking a break. He is looking into why he needs to do next to study for his CPA lisence. 

I love this man so much. He is so good to me and as a Father he is perfect. 

I'm thrilled to know what's next for his future.

I know it will be great.

Rainbows!!

So one month later I am finally getting around to blogging about my darling 1 year olds first Birthday party. It was a total blast. As you can tell the theme was Rainbows. I had such a great time planning her party. I kinda just wanted an excuse to plan a party to be honest. I planned it 2 months in advance, & crafted up the wazoo for weeks prior. I am so thankful to all of the kind friends & family that joined us at celebrating Lucille's first year. 

Lucille has been such a joy to have a part of our family. I can't tell you how happy she makes me. I get excited every morning waking up to her koo's. I go into her room & she giggles & jumps up & down. I love how happy she is most of the time. She started walking at around 11 months, & she is always so busy. We are constantly running after her. I don't mind it. She is so silly & funny too. She walks around laughing at herself & tilting her head back like she is laughing hysterically.   She's so cute!

I hope you enjoy all of the photos form her party. My ever to talented sister Amelia took them while being the best aunt ever to Lucille!! 

I like!

I was at Anthropologie a week ago & saw this display & absolutely fell in love it. 

It looks os much better in person.

I thought it would be so much fun in a back yard. 

Also this giraffe is pretty rad too!

And at last. I AM thankful for TODAY!

Lately I have been having a hard time being positive about life. I need to tell myself this & read this more often!!

I hope everybody is thankful for their day today too!
