Finally his Birthday!

Austin turned six on Saturday! He was so excited that it was FINALLY HIS BIRTHDAY! After Sammy has her birthday in June he always thinks it is forever before it gets to be his.

This year we had his first party that he got to invite friends. It was a Fireman's theme and they had a lot of fun! He was so excited about the presents everyone brought! So thank you everyone!

We had our family party on Sunday and had dinner and cake and ice cream of course. We had a lot of people and a lot of fun! Thanks everyone for coming!

Brownie points EARNED!!!

I just have to say how much I LOVE my husband! He is the BEST! I can't believe that we have been married for 8 years now and have three WONDERFUL kids!

Our anniversary was on Tuesday, and Curtis made it such a wonderful day!

We went to St. George for what I thought was to shop and take Taryne to a Dr. appointment. We went and had breakfast at the Marriott (they have the best omelets)! Curtis told me I had an appointment at 10:30 but would not tell me for what. He drove around and then pulled up at the St. George Day Spa! He basically dropped me off and said "see you in about 5 hours." What?! What are they going to do to me?! He just told me that they were going to take care of me. And that they did. It was WONDERFUL!! I got the WHOLE works! Massage, Exfoliation, Facial, Pedicure and Manicure! I have never been pampered like that and I enjoyed EVERY minute of it! But that's not all! When Curt picked me up he had my sister's truck which I thought was just because he loves to drive it, but nope, Curtis had taken Taryne to her appointment and then Jenn to our van and Taryne home and stayed with the kids that night! THANK YOU JENN!

Yeah!! So Curtis and I went to the Olive Garden for dinner. Yum! Love it! and then went to the movie. I know! Great huh?! But that's STILL not it! He also got us a suite at the Marriott that night! Yes, It was AWESOME! Talk about the BEST ANNIVERSARY EVER!!

Trick-or-Treat!

We now have enough sugar to keep us going all year!

Thursday was the PTA Halloween Carnival. The kids always have so much fun there! They love to play the games and win prizes! I personally go for the food. :) Austin even won a prize in the costume contest!

Friday Curtis and my sis took the kids trick-or-treating. (I had to work) They had a lot of fun but I am sure Austin was especially in heaven-that kid LOVES candy!
