Trunk or Treat

From Left---Korey and her daughter Lauren, Lucy and I, and Andrea and her son Luke!
Lucy and Lauren liked to just stare at each other in amazement!

We even took Ellie with us! ( she seems to go everywhere with us lately)

Pumpkin carving contest! I had to get a picture of the Mickey Mouse pumpkin! how cool?!?!

Lucy totally went with their theme so we had to get a picture!

I love my little giraffe!!!

Thursday night we went to Trunk or Treat at our church. Basically this was the parking lot filled with cars. and people decorated their trunks or the back of their cars, and handed out candy from them. It was really fun! The best part was to get to socialize!

Pumpkin Patch!!

This is the picture that is photoshopped to look cool above in our header.

Trying to be artistic! Troy is really doing good!

An attempt at a family picture. Too bad we didn't dress the part!

Being a homeowner

For less than 6 months...4 months to be exact. And our first REALLY HARD DAY. We were just about to leave this morning to go do the Lou Gehrig's walk that we do in honor of my grandpa every year....Troy was downstairs and I was upstairs with Lucy, finally ready...
and troy comes in....
honey..the bathroom has some water on the floor..i am going to be a second...
i'm like ok....maybe we will be running a tad late...dang it...



little did I realize we would have SEWAGE that flooded our first floor.

NOT A PLEASANT SMELL OR SIGHT.

It is now Hours and hours after we found this and I will well..cut to the chase. Our house has 10 big fan things and dehumidifiers that blow EXTREMELY loud and are intended to make your house 90 degrees, our baseboards in the kitchen got ripped up, half of the carpet in our living room is gone...and that is just a start!

Two doors down from us the same thing happened to a lady. We were at the same time running things out of our houses to save them...
It is NOT our fault. Obviously. It happens at the same time to two different people ...cant be a coincidence.
HOA...well they are being UNCOOPERATIVE to say the least! We are very lucky we have insurance...and were wanting to put wood floors in...but we DO NOT have the $1000 deductible to pay our insurance company in order to start repairs and Troy is now wanting to file a lawsuit against the HOA.

I will keep you updated.
By the way..no repairs were ever done. The plumber who came said there isnt a problem. We arent flushing toilets or using the water tonight except to shower. Lets hope we dont wake up at 2am to another flood. I will shoot someone. Preferrably the PLUMBER!!!

Tagged!

One of the first times I have been tagged! This was especially hard because I am on my husbands computer, but then again it kind of makes it more fun!
This was on our honeymoon at our favorite restaurant in Cambria, it is called Main Street Grill. It is the best BBQ food for VERY cheap! Can't beat that!

Here are the rules of the tag:
- Go to your Pictures folder
- Go to the 6th folder
- Go to the 6th picture
- Publish it to a new post and tell the story of the picture.


I tag: Claire Mendenhall, Crystal Sherman and Megan Brewer! Go girls! Lets see how old of a pic turns up!

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland last weekend...and Lucy LOVED the New Orleans Band. She sat there motionless for at least 20 minutes...which is unheard of for her, and she was just staring at them! I had to put the first picture in, it is supposed to be the last picture but whatever, I was so proud that she fell asleep sitting up in her stroller. I am trying to get her to be ok with falling asleep in public, and boy that night she sure did it!

I love my dad

Can't you tell?

Ellie Sherman

She was VERY good last night. Not sure if it will continue. We didnt get home with her until 8pm...and by 10pm we had her in her crate in our room to sleep. She only woke up when LUCY WHO HAS BEEN SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT decided to get up at 1am. So Troy got Lucy and I took Ellie outside. She went potty, and I put her back in her crate. Lucy decided to get up at 430am as well, but Ellie stayed asleep! I woke up at 5am for work and I decided to wake Ellie up to take her to go potty. She NEVER told us she wanted to go, we were the ones to take her!
Lets cross our fingers she stays this way or at least can hold it as good as she did last night!
Troy had Lucy and Ellie to take care of this morning ( like he will every morning) so I am anxious to find out how it went! AND he is taking her to work for a little to continue the crate training. Lets hope for the best! We love our little Ellie! Did I mention she was the smallest? The runt? Adorable! And she is 12 weeks, born on July 12 :)
