HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween friends! Levi and I were both pirates. In the below picture he is saying "Argh!" (hence the double chins). He was very excited to be a pirate. I think this is mainly because on the "Wiggles" show that he watches there is a Captain Feathersword pirate guy. Hey, everyone needs a hero! He is so adorable!!
Don't forget sweet Princess Mandorallyn (Levi's cousin).
The headress thing is about to come off. She sure does look darling!
Levi's Loot!! What an exciting thing to get all this candy and know that it is

for eating and it tastes good! Yum! Suckers are his favorite.

He has no idea that chocolate is what is in those little colorful packages (more for Mom!)

Levi's new addiction!

The art of eating cookies and milk. This is a must before he goes to bed. For those health conscious people out there, don't worry, he only gets this treat about twice a week... PIck your Nilla Wafer cookie, dip it in the milk (preferably not splashing, although Matt taught him to kind of toss it in the milk and let it sit there for a minute...

you can all see how successful Levi was at that...)

Enjoy your cookies and milk!!

Like mother, like son...

Ignore the beady red eyes and look at the cuteness of this picture! Levi and I both have such cute bellies!! The only difference is that there is a little baby kicking me all the time, and I really hope (but doubt) that Levi doesn't have that going on inside him. He thinks "mommy's crazy"! Good times for us ahead!

Festive Cookies

I wanted to make sugar cookies and decorate them like frankenstein and pirates, etc... so we made cookies and decorated them. They didn't turn out as I imagined, but we did have a good time decorating them and eating the m&m's on top and licking the frosting!

Slacker Shan

So, Karen Collinwood (formerly Rosener) called me on my lack of updating our blog. I'd list my excuses here, but you've heard them all. Alas, no picture will accompany my post, as I am at work. Karen did "tag" me and so I must answer the following questions (are they really questions?) Anyhow... enjoy my contribution for the day to your world of entertainment.

4 jobs I've had: The Rat/Mouse at Chuck E Cheese, Dave and Buster's Special Events Rep, English teacher, Old Navy stocker girl (not to be confused with stalker girl... that was another job)
4 movies I could watch over and over again: Legally Blonde, Center Stage, The Count of Monte Cristo (which Matt is tired of me asking to watch!) and the Emperor's New Groove

4 places I have lived: Chino, Ca....Sacramento, Ca....LaVerne, Ca....Provo, Ut (although I don't remember it... I was just feeling so California-ish)

4 favorite places to visit: (I'm modifying the question to make it 4 places I want to go...)
Czech Republic with Matthew, Hawaii... someday when I look cuter and less pregnant, Ireland to see the Shannon River, and Utah to see everyone up there.

4 favorite desserts: (Only 4??? If a female created this, she obviously had more self control than I do!) Tapoica, Brownies with ice-cream and all that jazz, dark chocolate covered almonds and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting (although my favorites change all the time).

4 favorite dinners: Anything Matt cooks (because it's always good), TACOS!!!, Chicken with pasta, chicken nuggets

4 websites I visit daily: www.ofy.org (for work), yahoo (for email), everyone's blogs, and ...?

4 hobbies: Scrapbooking, Reading books, Hanging out with Matt, Eating (although Matt would say shopping... It's not so much a hobby, as a part of life).

4 people I tag to do this same survey with their responses: My cute husband, My mom (you can email me your responses, Amy Takeuchi-Wanlass (hello...where are you??) and Jen Spence.

Thanks everyone for listening. Pictures will be posted soon... stay tuned!
