Happy Halloween!!!!

I love Halloween!! I am going to be so sad to part with my Halloween themed blog page! I am also sad that Craig is going to work tonight :( I don't feel that we got to enjoy Halloween as much this year, because he has had to work so much. I hope he knows how much we appreciate the hard work he does, to keep the food on the table and the bills paid!! I Love you Craig! We miss you when you are gone! Even though you are usually home when we wake up, you still have to go to sleep, which is even harder because I know you are just in the other room and all I want to do is wake you up so you can hang out with us! Hopefully it will get better! Happy Halloween Babe, we love you!

Monica & Abbi

Welcome Home, Uncle Mike!

Abbi and her Uncle Mike!

Abbi, Uncle Mike, and Amber (Mike's Girlfriend & Abbi's new buddy!)

My brother Mike and his Girlfriend, Amber, came down from Bremerton, Washington, to visit over the last weekend! It was a lot of fun! We met them at Lagoon on Saturday for Frightmares. Then we did some family stuff on Sunday. Then we did Gateway Mall and dinner at Tepanyaki on Monday. It was a very short trip, and I was very sad to see them go on Tuesday morning, at 6 am. Hopefully Uncle Mike can come home for Christmas. Abbi had the best time with her uncle and her new buddy, Amber. This was the first time I had met Amber. She is in the Navy along with my brother, and had just gotten home from a 4 month tour on a Naval Ship. She is a surgical tech for the Navy, and they were doing surgeries for civilians of many countries in Southeast Asia. It was quite the experience from what I gathered. Anyway, she was a sweetheart, and it was fun to meet her, finally! Her family is from a small town outside of Twin Falls, Idaho. It is nice that her hometown is just hours from our Mikey's. They were able to see both families in one trip! I am sure they are wiped out after the week they had! I just can't wait to see my bro again, though! I love having him home!

Happy Birthday Preslie!

Our Cute Niece Preslie had a birthday on October 22nd. She turned 5 years old! It is scary how fast time flies! It seems moments ago that she was born. Now she is a little girl and has a sister and brother, too! Grandma Susaeta had a birthday party for her on the 18th. It was a Halloween dress up party. This is a picture of all the cousins (minus Beckem, our only boy cousin) in their cute costumes. Preslie=Bat Girl, Mckell=Bride, Kyaira=pumpkin witch, Mayci=ladybug, and our Abbi=Mermaid. Happy Birthday Preslie!

Okay, Mckell, I will play!

7 Things I Can Do:
1. Blog with the best of them (okay, maybe the mediocre)
2. Paint my own toenails, up until 8 months of pregnancy (DETERMINATION)!
3. Sing, but nobody will really know how great I am :), except Jami and Kristen, you know what I'm talkin' about girls! Don't hold it against me that I forgot the words to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", though! I'm working on that.
4. Rub sunscreen on my own back.
5. Change the daytime running lights on my car. I am the only mechanically inclined person in my house, so who else is going to do it? Craig will change the oil, if he HAS to, even though I could probably do it faster and more efficiently!
6. Hang pictures on the wall, again, I am the handy one.
7. Bake. I would rather do that than make dinner, though. Can't we just have cake for dinner?

7 Things I Cannot Do:
1. Play a musical instrument
2. Run fast. Kriste always wins.
3. Eat oysters. I have to settle for other aphrodisiacs.
4. Make decisions. Don't ever come shopping with me. You will be stabbing your eyes out with hangers. Ask Craig.
5. Double Dutch Jump Rope. Isn't one jump rope enough?
6. Wake board (without taking in the whole lake through my nose).
7. Mow the lawn. Or maybe it's that I just don't like to be hot and sweaty and get my feet all green.

7 Things that Attracted Me to Craig
