PuMpKiN fUn!!!!

Here are some pictures of the girls cleaning out their pumpkins and the finished products (FYI I carved both pumpkins so my girls would still have both hands for trick-or-treating, LOL). We can't wait until Halloween to try out the girls costumes! Happy Trick-or-Treating!!Shaylie with her pumpkin, it's a spiderweb with a spider coming off the bottom!

McKinley with her pumpkin, it's a witch!
Both pumpkins once we put them outside!

And the WINNER is............

On October 11 Marc fought in the Ultimate Combat Experience, Round 29.14. The fight was originally supposed to take place earlier in the summer, but due to a shoulder injury Marc had to postpone the fight. This was not Marc's first time in the cage, but it has been awhile.

Marc fought against Mike "Sugaloaf" Crisman and he did awesome! As usual I was nervous enough for the both of us, and Marc was totally cool with the whole thing. Their fight was the main event and they fought under the "pro" rules. Marc was able to win the fight at the end of the first round by putting on an armbar forcing Suga to tapout!!!!

I couldn't take my camera in but below is a picture of Marc before the start of the fight that I got off Ultimate Combat's website. Here is a link to their website http://www.ucombat.com/Index.php. Check out their website and watch on the WB30 in the next few weeks and you can see Marc's fight on TV!

Living Planet Aquarium!

For a fun family activity we decided to go to the Living Planet Aquarium. We went up with my parents, and my brother and sister-in-law and their two cute boys and had a lot of fun! Here are some pictures from our adventure!

Birthday Update (finally)!!

Well, as you can tell it's been a while since I updated our blog (shame on me) and unfortunately it's not been due to lack of things to post about, but you all know how life goes sometimes.

I suppose I should start off with Shaylie's 8th birthday party.........it went great! Thank goodness the weather cooperated and didn't rain on us. Shaylie decided that she wanted a Hannah Montana/Luau theme.........luckily for me my sister-in-law was able to get me Luau decorations from her work for free! So after purchasing a few Hannah Montana items we were in business! I do believe that she chose the "Luau" theme so that she could have an excuse to make it a swimming party as well (not like I care, LOL). Between the pinata, swimming, cake/ice cream, sandwiches, decorating cupcakes, and playing around I was pleased with her party and we were are tired by the end. Shaylie had a blast and got plenty of stuff!

Here are a few pictures of the decorations:
