Since we read last...

Hi all! I know I am really not doing this as often as I should but "it's all good" So what has been going on in the past month, the better question is what haven't we been doing!!! I think things are finally slowing down a bit for me and my family. Well at least for a week or so " ) Since last time we had Maddy's 9th party, we went to see High School Musical 3 and it was AWESOME!! Ok yep you guessed it I am a total fan!! Not gonna lie. I love musicals and this is a really great one! After the movie I took Maddy, Wyatt and Lidia to a Pumpkin Patch in Citrus Heights. It's a cute little one with lots of things to do. We spent the entire afternoon there, I was tired!! When we got home the kids begged me to paint their pumpkins. So I thought ok we will do that instead of carving them, I was all for that! Yep that didn't happen! After they painted them they wanted to carve them! It was fun and totally worth the faces they made as they pulled out the "guts" of the pumpkin. And of course we made pumpkin seeds, way to yummy! Then it was Halloween. Every year we go to my sister's house in Folsom, it's a little hard to trick or treat in rice fields. Anyhoot the kids always get a ton of candy, it's crazy. My sister was dressed up as Wonder Woman, it was great! Lidia and Quintin (Lidia's brother) go with us to. On to November... the long awaited birth of HARLEE, wasn't very easy for mom but all is well and she is beautiful!! So on that note I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my cousin Josh (23) (who is getting married on Sunday, it's about damn time, love you!), my niece Carrie (7), my niece Georgia (9) and my mother in law Marie (I am so not saying her age). For 4H we had our big fundraiser breakfast, which I was in charge of. I get to brag it turned out awesome, we made a lot of money for the club! I couldn't have pulled it off with out a lot of help from the parents in our club who not only donated items but their time and the kids who served the meals. I was very proud of our club that day!! SO next year if you are in the area you should stop by, it's yummy food!! And you get huge portions!! It's always held on the opening day of Pheasant Season. The kids also had Family Art Night at their school, it was funded by our GATE program and ran by our Art teacher, Erin. She also happens to be our babysitter, that is if we ever went any where. She does lots for the school and she is only 19. We just love her to death! She also helped me out with our 4H breakfast. The pic with Maddy and Erin at the breakfast also has Miss Preslie in it. She is such a cutie! So that is the catch up for the month. I am really excited tomorrow night is TWILIGHT!! I am sure I will have pics from that " ) there is a big ol group that is going. Til next time... Have a great one!!
