Nu-Nu-Nu-Nu-Nu-Nu, Ya Say It's Yo Birthday!!

This past Thursday, we celebrated my sweet Mama's birthday.

She turned, another year older (like I was really gonna put the number on here)!

We had a major shin-dig planned. There was a crowd of people (husband, her children, her Nicole (we love her like our own sister), and her Sophia), there was a sensational dinner (Mazzio's pizza), a chocolate cake, and a little bit of Jack (Bower, 24).

Yes, all my mama wanted to do for her birthday was stay in and play the 24 edition of the game Clue.

Here is the birthday girl reading the instructions. (we should all be paying attention)

can you feel the excitement??

Nicole figuring out how to cheat this game! (jk)

here is Katie hiding pieces, cheater! (jk)

Aron and I were so confused, seriously had no CLUE what we were supposed to be doing. He was my partner for the game. Huh, look at where he went after the instructions....

Richard playing the game.
We had such a fun time celebrating this wonderful day. I am so happy that I have a wonderful mother, who is also my very best friend. She is smart, funny, loving, kind, and I want to be just like her one day! Mama, thank you so much for being you!

Here we go.....hummmmmmmmm

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

Pumpkin Carving

We have had a fun week of events. On Tuesday night, everyone came to the Foresee abode. I slaved over a No-Peek-A-Boo Stew, cornbread, chocolate topped cupcakes, and pumpkin bread (did I mention I am a slave in the kitchen and 27 weeks along, hello!). Then we broke out the templates, knives, and markers for some pumpkin carving fun! It was a great time, if you like to sit with a group for an extended amount of time (about 2 hours) and carve some of the most challenging things that I have ever seen! We are not just talking about a snaggle tooth pumpkin, our family broke out the big guns: pictures of Yoda, Luke Sky Walker, wolves howling at the moon, spooky houses, and then there were the pumpkins with greetings! It was a so much fun (even though I did not hack into those poor things, I was more helpful in taking pictures, asking people if they needed drinks (yes, they needed to be hydrated), and picking up pumpkin seeds and gunk off of the floor (I had to get to it before Sophia!)SIL (LeAnne) and Annalee Aunt Cathy and Jason

Ma and Pa (always gazing into one anothers eyes)

Oh! My two greatest loves!

Ma, me, and Moss

(I look crazy bc I was trying to hold my neck up to avoid the double chin and I was trying to hold up the two huge growths above the belly. All of that work made me look like a nut.)

Moss, Ma, Pa, Aunt Charlene, Poss (aka Bucky)

me and my sweet Daddy

Now, the festivities have begun! Check out the table, can we say PUMPKIN PATCH IN THE KITCHEN!!

The brothers.

Look at how intense these carvers are. The silence was so thick!

Ryan (my BIL) and Aidan

Richard with the Yoda template!!

Nicole and Jason diggin in the pumpkin guts!

Dad and Poss.

Dad went in for a consult. Poss accidentally cut out a piece that should have not been cut. Poss thought the house looked a mess, but soon you will see the prettiest spookiest house ever!

My ever so talented husband. He carved a brown recluse. He was so proud!

I have come to the conclusion that these people have some skills!! They should totally open up a booth at the Arts and Crafts Fair!!

Do you and your families have the pumpkin carving tradition? What do yal do for fun during the spookiest of spooky holidays?? Do tell!

Have a spookalicious day!

Love yal!

You Look Boo-tiful Dawling!

Yes, in this family we go all out for the holidays. On Tuesday evening, we gathered at Ma and Pa Curry's house for a Boo-tiful Halloween costume contest. What a great time we had! There was a lady bug, a couple a mummies, Zorro made an appearance, there was the spider in a web, a nana (Sophia's favorite), a veteran, a witch, a pregnant cat, a beautimous prom queen, the hunter, and a pretty lady in her pajamas! We were all decked out! Take a look! What are you dressing up for this Halloween (or what will your sweet babies be wearing)? Only a few days left, so get your costumes out people!!

Ahh, the sweet family! (The glasses totally make me look smart!)

This is Deaddy (the mummy), he was terribly spooky!!

BOO!



This is his Boo-tiful wife, Mummy! (Mummy used most of the bandages on Deaddy)!

L-O-V-E my lil sister's mask!

Lordy, Lordy, guess whose birthday it is??

What a way to start a fun family visit! Yesterday, we celebrated my sweet Moss's birthday. (If you are curious what a Moss is, this is what we call our grandmother. Yes, some are called Grannie, others MeeMaw, and then you have your Moss. Who can figure? We sure do love her, and wish her many more happy birthday extravaganzas to come!!

Hummmmmmmm---------------

Happy Birthday to you!!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday sweet and precious Moss!

(this is her making a wish, or wondering how she is going to blow out all of the candles??)

Happy Birthday to You!!

Love yal!
