Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday we went to the Pumpkin Patch that we go to almost every year, well at least for the last three or four...EVERY year when we go it's a HUGE festival with LOTS of people!  AND you get to pick your pumpkin, it's so much fun!  Wellllll we got there AND there was NO one there, NO one at all!  Hmmm...interesting.
Where is everyone?
Lots of pumpkins, no people?  Well, hmmm get closer and there's a sign that says "PUMPKIN PATCH CLOSED!  OPEN OCTOBER 20TH" Great....perfect!  They do have a farmers market which sells all things delicious and things that are grown at the school, so we picked some pumpkins from there :)  AND then we snuck into the pumpkin patch so that we could take pictures :D
My cousin brought her daughter, Delylah (The Husband's God Daughter) and she had a BLAST!!  She got to hug the HUGE $70 pumpkin, do people really buy those?  They are cool, but what do you do with it?  She got the WHOLE pumpkin patch to herself!  AND even got to climb to the TOP of the WORLD!  :D
at least now we have a COUPLE of pictures of baby Carter growing inside me, Happy 39 weeks baby Carter, NOW please come out ASAP!
P.S. please don't mind my wrinkled shirt :(
AND Penelope Pumpkin got sent to the groomers this weekend and they added this SUPER cute bow to her head that she did LEAVE on for approximately 2 minutes, but it was SUPER cute while it lasted!  So glad that Fall is here, NOW if only the Fall weather would come too!

Fall Frenzy Swap :)

A couple of weeks ago I entered to join a Fall Swap on Life of Meg, and it was FINALLY time to send out my stuff and receive my package!  AND it was ADORABLE!!  :)

I got paired with Allie from A Day in A Joyful Life!  She was lots of fun to read allll about on her blog :)  AND she loves her puppy as much as I LOVE all THREE of mine!  If you wanna see what I sent her go here and check it out!  I loooove fall!

I was super excited when I got her package because everything was my FAVORITE color turquoise!  :)
I can't wait to try these SUPER cute hair ties!  I like them because they aren't the plain black ones that I always wear that I HATE wearing on my wrists because I think they look dumb, BUT these look AMAZING as bracelets sooooo cute :)  PLUS that scarf!  Fall Weather Hurry UP AND get here!  SUMMER GET OUT!!  That Essie color is SUPER cute, actually I'm going to paint my nails with it TONIGHT!  AND my favorite candies, YUMMM already ate a couple of them :l  AND everything smelled amazing when it came out because of that fall candle :)

THANK YOU ALLIE!  For the amazing fall package!  AND Meg, thank you for hosting such an amazing swap :)

Welcome Fall

I know that loooooooots of people have been talking about Fall and all the things they love about it, SOOOO I decided to give you a couple of things that I LOVE LOVE LOVE about Fall!!  I mean I love all seasons, because I always feel like when it's time for the next season to come, we are COMPLETELY ready for it, I mean I could NEVER live in Hawaii, I head it NEVER gets cool there...I like days when I have to wear boots and scarves (even though people in other states would say that we in CA don't really know what it is to experience the seasons, I like OUR seasons VERY much THANK YOU :D)

So, here are a couple of things, that I'm SUPER excited for now that it's fall!

USUALLY by now, or VERY soon we would be going to the L.A. County Fair, it's so much fun!!  They have the BEST food, the BEST things to buy and watch and do, and we ALWAYS have so much fun...unfortunately we have NOT been able to afford to go to the fair this year :(  it's okay NEXT year we'll have an ALMOST one year old to take and enjoy everything BRAND new!! :D  Can't wait!
Yes, that's a money machine, and NO it wasn't real money BUT we did get to win prizes according to how much money you put in the box, and IF I can remember right the husband did pretty good.

OF COURSE football season!  I mean really?  Who's NOT excited to see some dudes tackle each other, throw a football, kick a football, and just have fun?  Okay and I'll admit I MIGHT be a tiny bit jealous that I can not have a beer while watching Monday night football....sooon (hopefully)
P.S. YES this pictures is blurry BUT how many of you have a picture with a super bowl trophy?  NOT many I'm positive!

Like I've said MANY times before, ALMOST NO one in my entire family has their OWN birthday, actually we figured it out, and the ONLY one that has their OWN birthday is my cousin Brianna AND the only reason that is, is because she was born SUPER premature, at around 24 weeks gestation, so IF she would have been born ON time, she would have been lumped into the June birthdays....so in October is NO different, we start off with my FAVORITE person's birthday!  Which is coming up NEXT week!
 My grandma!  I mean isn't she the cutest little thing you've EVER seen!!?!  Sorry about the blurry picture....it's old and I didn't even take it!
The last couple of years we go to Panda Inn (a SUPER delicious Chinese restaurant) for her birthday because 1.) she LOVES chinese food, and 2.) this ones her FAVORITE!  This was a couple of years ago, not too sure why our faces look like this BUT omg I can't believe how little these kids are :(  They're growing up WAYYY too fast!

In October we also celebrate my Mom's bday & my Aunts and we have a couple of other cousins and great aunts bdays too!
Last year was the SECOND year in a row that we made it to the Pumpkin Patch!  They have it every year at one of the colleges I attended, and it is HUGE!!  I will have to post some pictures of how gigantic it is, but literally ALL you see is Pumpkins!  So pretty!  AND all pumpkins are only $5!  LOVE
YOU better believe we WILL be going back in a couple of weeks :D

Fall signals all my HOLIDAY wreaths coming out!!!  STARTING with Halloween :)
I posted a tutorial here on how to make this!  AND I  LOVE LOVE LOVE it! 

Right after Halloween I get to put out my Thanksgiving one! :D
For some reason they just make me a little happier when I get home!  They're just so cute :)

Then comes one of my FAVORITE holidays!!!!
Halloween
 YESSSSS one year I was a nerd, and YES I did make the husband dress up with me!  HEY that was probably one of the cheapest costumes I EVER was, and I LOVED IT!
Well actually this costume was pretty cheap, it was PUT together @ Rite Aid on Halloween, RIGHT before we went to pass out candy!  The husband was Don King (yep he thought of that ALL on his own and thought it was the BEST idea EVER) and I was a bank robber! :D
The husband and I were cave people last year for my Aunt's Bday party/Halloween party and I LOVED it!  Since we had some left over fabric, because the Husband decided he just wanted to wear a dress my gma joined us!  What a cute cave family we are ha :)  See here my gma is beating up the husband for trying to drag me by my hair!  NO ONE noticed that ha?  :D 
P.S.  YES these costumes were COMPLETELY hand made AND no we did not sew ANYTHING all those years in the sorority really helped me in learning how to make costumes completely out of safety pins and hot glue :)
 The Monsters!  They LOVE Halloween too!  I mean can't you tell?!?  Especially little Fox! :D
Traded costumes, and I think these were way better :)
AND everyone knows that Halloween is about wearing RIDICULOUS things, so gives me an excuse to wear PINK eyelashes!  LOVED!  I was a witch on actual Halloween, so I wore these eyelashes and a nice witch hat again courtesy of rite aid ON Halloween :D
