Happy Birthday Little ONE!!!

Daddy vs Doberman

So it almost seems to be our nightly routine now, when Daddy gets home it's time to play! I know it is silly that our dog knows us as Mommy and Daddy, but he does! Daddy walks in gives me a kiss and a hug, and then it is Echo's turn. Echo just can't help himself, as soon as he see's Daddy all he wants to do is wrestle, it is SO CUTE!!! So almost every night Echo and Daddy have a wrestling match! Daddy always wins, he has to be the Alpha Male right??? I love to sit and watch and just crack up at the moves they pull on one another, it is so funny! I never choose to get in the middle of it or join in. I like Echo knowing that Daddy is his wrestling buddy and to leave Mommy out if it!
This particular evening I decided to capture the match on digital film. Here goes!!!
Round 1:
They are both FULL of energy and going strong!!!


Round 2:
Daddy starts taking charge, Echo is getting a little nervous!



Round 3:
Echo is ready for his come back, not quite ready to throw in the towel!



Round 4:
Daddy takes the lead again, looks like it is over for Echo!!!



Count it 1-2-3 PINNED!!!
Echo throws in the towel and knows that he has been beat once again, Daddy is the Alpha Male!!

My Exhausted Boys!!!

They Shake on it, GOOD MATCH!!!

And are Buddies Once Again!!!

I love my little family so far, with the little Bean on the way, life could not be more wonderful!

O' Baby, O' Baby!!!

Well I know that it is really early to do this and I told myself that I would not announce this till I was further along but I just can't hold it in any longer!!! WE ARE PREGNANT!!!! I am 7 weeks pregnant and am SO, SO, SO, EXCITED about it!!! Kip and I started trying in September and got pregnant in October, we feel very blessed! Our due date is July 12th, and to me it is the perfect time of year to be bringing a new little life into our home! Kip and I have our first Ultrasound on Dec 11'th (that is when I was waiting to announce it) and we are praying that everything is going well and that our little baby bean is healthy and strong! Please pray for us and our little bean that all goes well! I will keep you all posted on the progress!
P.S. I am so excited that I now get to have one of those little baby counter things on my blog finally!!!! HOW COOL!!!
P.P.S. Vote on what you think we are having even though it is so early that the parts are not even there yet! Either way it is what it is even if it is not showing yet!

Shootin the Crap with Lyndzee...

Lyndzee and I had a little adventure the other day, she took me out to show me this fun place to shoot and boy was it a blast! There is a big group of trees that people have set up all sorts of stuff to have paintball wars and boy was it creepy! While walking through the trees I felt like I was in some sort of scary movie. But here are some of the fun shots I got from the place! Enjoy, because I had fun shooting. None of these are edited at all, just the way they came!









Melissa these bottom pictures are for you! ;)

Haunted Birthday Party!

So a few wonderful weeks ago was my lovely friend Emily Moran's Birthday. I am so sorry I have not posted this before now, but I had to make the Halloween deadline since it has to do with Halloween. So here goes!
Emily is AWESOME, she is so much fun and we wanted to make her 21'st birthday a HIT!!! Since she really can't get the clubbing experience being Married #1 and being Mormon #2! So we decided for a night of laughs and screams! (little did we know as this was being planned, that Emily gets frightened quite easy, OOPS!!!) So we decided to go to Downtown San Diego to this totally fun place called the Corvette Dinner where the waiters and waitresses are dressed in 50's get up with the big hair and all, there is a live DJ with oldies records, and dancing, laughter and lots and lots of straws and bubble gum! Perfect place to be loud and laugh. So perfect for the three couples involved, Kip and I, Todd and Emily, and Katie and Todd, all quite obnoxious!!! We had a total blast at dinner, our food was just OK, the shakes were good but the entertainment was fabulous, I think we all peed our pants a few times!!!

So this is what they do to the Birthday Person's Hair, it is SO FUNNY!!!! When she took the straws out it looked like she had curled her hair!
Look at all of us love birds!!! AAAwwww.....!!!!


This is just a cool picture I think! You can tell we were all just having a blasty being dorks!!!
SO after we filled our belly's and laughed half our dinner off we headed to the SCREAM ZONE down in San Diego! There are 3 haunted things to do, 2 Haunted Houses and a Haunted Hayride! We had a blast there as well. I think Emily almost had a heart attack a few times but good thing we had big tough guys there to protect us all. It was just so fun because it felt like Kipper and I were dating again for some reason, it was just such a fun night!!!!
All of us practicing our freaked out face!!!
The girls getting ready to be wimps!!!
The boys getting ready to protect their women!
We all made it out alive!!!! YEAH!!!!
Thanks for the wonderful night all you fun folks!!!! Happy LATE Birthday again Emily!!!!

Carving Free Style

So Kip and I seem to always wait till last minute to carve our Halloween Pumpkins. I have had them at our house for about a week, and you would have thought that we would have had them carved for our party, but no, we like to procrastinate! Last year we were carving them ON HALLOWEEN as the trick or treaters were knocking on our door. This day we moved it forward 2 days from last year and will actually have them carved for Halloween. We have some friends that seem to be in the same procrastinate boat as us so we decided to have a dinner/pumpkin carving/movie party last night after our brutal leg work out at the gym! SO MUCH FUN!!! Loved how they all turned out! So here you go a few fun pics from last night as we carved with Todd and Emily Moran at their place while watching Ghostbusters 1, SO FUN!!!!
Intently trying to decide on the face???? Big and very serious decision!
