Beginning to feel like FALL!

Okay so I'm trying to get caught up on my blogging.

So the first couple of pictures are a weekend in SLO with just my brother and kiddos.

It was so much fun.

The kids just love each other.

 Jason, Sharon, Jeff and the kids...cute.

 I am gramming a lot into my blogs, but the next set up pictures are from our trip to Monterey just the two of us, Jason's company trip.  It was just beautiful that weekend in October.

The view from our room.

The Intercontinental, the hotel.

 This is the "Red House Cafe" one of our favorites in Pacific grove you can walk there from downtown Monterey.  Best crab cakes (if you like those) and salad, yummy.

Loved the decor. 

Tried to copy a little, but you know I can only do so much.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

FALL

Do you?



A Dear Friend

This is my friend, Kara she nine months pregnant with her first

(doesn't she look great).

Anyway Kara's husband John started working for the same company as Jason soon after he started.  We were newbies at the same time, it was nice.  At the time they weren't even married, but soon married and recently had their first child. 

We have known each other for about nine or ten years now and chit chat and catch up at all the work parties and occasionally see each other outside of work

(secretly happy she is going to be home for awhile with the new baby, yeah).

Anyway, it's so cool to know people so long and see them go through so many life changes.

And Kara I'm so happy for you and John and the birth of your daughter.

Keeping you in our prayers.

(Her husband took this photo, but doesn't this crack you up because we did not plan and picked the same colors, but opposite, too funny).

Note: I'm catching up on my blogging...I was really sick with the flu for the last almost two weeks...

Tutorial for Friendly Spiders

Friendly Spiders 

So we are not real into Halloween around here.

I really try to downplay the whole thing.

(I mean I'm a gal who never trick or treated growing up so...)

Everyone is different.

However, I do enjoy making spiders for the kids every couple of years and thought I would share how to make them 

(they are one of God's little creations, so i've justified).

Super easy just have to find the supplies...

Here's what you'll Need :)

• Find black pom poms (this year I found some in a bag with all different sizes and sparkles).
• 6 mm or higher Black Pipe cleaners the larger around 12mm are super fluffy.
• Googly Eye stickers all sizes
• Glue Gun
• Scissors

Measure the pipe cleaners four at a time for the legs.  Cut them evenly.  Then pinch the middle and twist full circle.  After twisted glue a pom pom in the middle with, then attach the eyes.

Yeah all done.

Super easy.

I enjoy putting them on my ivy's and door decor out front and that's basically it.

Oops I also put on on the spatula I give to the teacher for Halloween, cuz it's so cute.

 Enjoy

Ken and Barbie at Three

While Dylan is off at school and we are home doing chores and what not...

The twins do their "twin talk"

They play and play and play some more.

They really love each other so much.

It's so perfect because they are boy/girl twins.

So one is always the "daddy" or "Ken" and one is the "mommy" or "Barbie" and it works.

Except my daughter always reminds me;

"Mom we really need a "Ken" barbie"

Really bad!!!"

And then I'll hear this like right now;

"Ken it's raining..." -T

"Okay Barbie I'll be right there" -N

"Ken I have a new hiding place" -T

"Barbie where are you" -N

"Ken let's go" -T

...and on and on it goes...

Dang it is SO cute how they play.

Truth be told we don't even have a "official Barbie doll" yet, princess dolls, but no barbies. 

Hilarious huh.

I can't even get a word in.

But on those rainy days like today, it's awesome because I can get so much done in the house.

What a blessing.
