One trick or treater is all I need

A little cupcake came knocking on my door! I don't even care that I look like a hot mess, because I know you aren't looking at me :-)

If you were a billionaire

So if you were a billionaire what you would buy? This article really got me thinking of what I would do if I had that much money. It's interesting to see how I differ from these ultra rich people in the article.  Sure, I would buy a Bentley, but not sure about a Yacht or a Boeing 757...although I could see myself buying a private jet....just not a huge plane per se.  I could also see myself following in Victoria Beckham's footsteps by having a custom made gold phone cover since it only costs $36,000.

See the link below if you want to fantasize a little!

Hawks win!

We met Rustin and Libby out to watch the Iowa game. It was fun and nice to snuggle Baby Emmett! I hadn't seen him in awhile so he was overdue for some Shardogg snuggles.

Below is the highlight from my weekend. :-)

Sweetest Day :-)

A few weeks ago I asked Brian what he was getting me for Sweetest Day and he said "What? I've never heard of it...." so in true Brian form, he googled it and can not only tell you the origin, but can tell you many other facts about this day! haha.  I was teasing him and told him that I would like a new pair of Uggs and to eat at Americana, but since he researched it he knows that you are supposed to give candy.  I really didn't expect anything, but he sent me flowers and chocolates! The flowes are so cute and if you can't see the note it says- "The Sweetest Day is the day we met." How sweet is that?! Thank you Brian and thank you to whomever made a new hallmark holiday! Made my day :-)

Chicago trip in November!

I am way overdue for a checkup with my eye doctor in Chicago. I finally have a free weekend so scheduled my appointment for early November! I CANNOT wait!!!! I didn't realize how much I miss Chicago until I made my eye appointment and got very giddy! Hoping to get some shopping in (at the good stores that Des Moines doesn't have), eat good pizza, and try to visit with as many friends as possible! YAY!

Pics from mom's visit

Here are some pics from my mom's visit in September.

Weekend of birthdays

So this weekend was pretty fun but low key. We had Kaelyn's birthday party Saturday during lunch. It was very nice to see Jennifer's family and so fun to see Kaelyn open up her presents and tell everyone thank you. She is growing up so fast and is so smart! Jennifer made lots of goodies too which were delicious! Saturday night we had Cooper's birthday party, which is Brian's best friends son. His birthday party was at an indoor water park on Merle Hay. That was alot of fun and we filled up on pizza and more cake! Cooper had a blast running around with his friends and got lots of cool toys! Needless to say, Brian and I were in a food coma Saturday night!

Sunday we were too lazy to go to church (shame on us) and were pretty lazy most of the day. We took Sheila out for sushi for her birthday lunch. It was also nice to see her! I hadn't seen her in awhile. I think I saw her more when I lived in Chicago! Below are pics of the birthday kids....sorry didn't get a picture of Sheila at her birthday lunch!

Did anyone else think Bridesmaids wasn't that funny????

So last weekend after our pics, Brian and I rented Bridesmaids.  We've heard from EVERYONE how HILARIOUS it is so we couldn't wait to see it. Neither one of us laughed very much at all! I don't know if it was just because we were tired or what, but it was NOT that funny! The movie wouldn't even make my top 10....or top 20!  Are we weirdos or what? What did we miss? I mean the bride pooped in her wedding dress...that is something I see myself doing anyway! haha.

Should we watch it again?

Engagement photos-DONE!

So this weekend we had our engagement photos. We were supposed to have them last week but our photographer had a death in the family so had to reschedule them for this weekend since it was the only time that worked for all of us.  I am glad to get them done, but was bummed to miss Brittani and Brandon's wedding! It would have been nice to see everyone and celebrate their special day.

I think we got some good photos! She took a TON of pictures so we are destined to have at least 20 good pics for our guest book! Well, one would think! haha. I can't wait to see them. She sent me one this morning just for a sneak pic. See below. I will post more when I get them!
