Halloween Decorating!

I sure love decorating for Holidays.  

Halloween is fun,cute and spooky, so there are lots of ankles to go with.  

I embrace witches, skulls, ghosts and pumpkins in October

I love my witches mantel, A photo of the witch to come!  

It's my birthday!

I'm 32 today.  I have a great year ahead!  Lots to do, lots of ways to improve and lots of memories to make!!  Hope you are in those memories!  :)

Got to make this Halloween treat!

OK- Hank loves skeletons, and so do I!  Halloween really is our favorite!
We just love Christmas too!  And well All of Oct. Nov. and Dec.

Anyways- we are totally going to make these!  Found them on Pinterest.

Ellie's therapy party!

We had a session with all three of Ellie's therapist.  These photos were from 9-12-13.

Here she is with Deana!

 Deana, Ellie and Ashley

 Nicole joined the party a half hour into it!

 She just absolutely loves them all!

Today Oct. 1st, I took Ellie to her first appointment with her new OT and PT at CCS- CA Childrens Services.  (OT means- occupational Therapist and PT means- Physical Therapist).  She will continue with Nicole with Speach therapy at Kaiser Permanente.  Thank you for that!  We are just so sad to leave our awesome therapists and friends.  But we really like our new therapists already!

Hank let me paint his face!

He wanted to wash it right off.  :)  Silly boy!  

10th Anniversary Trip!

Mark planned our trip, it was a surprise for me.  For my 30 Before 30, I had started planning and saving for this trip, thinking I would do a surprise for Mark, but he took on the job, and I loved the anticipation and surprise.  He took me to Crescent City, CA.  To the Redwood and Elk Country.  We had a blast!

  Hermit Crabs!  So fun!  I saw a lobster too, hiding amongst the rocks.

We stayed at an Awesome Inn. Hotel, the Lighthouse Inn!  

Check it out and stay there if you have the chance.  This is the Local lighthouse, I snapped this photo of it!

Our Inn was decorated with Lighthouse stuff, but wasn't shaped like a lighthouse, we had a nice room!  We ate at all the best places in town.  

Mark and I were hiking off the trail here.  We were so hot, but I didn't want to encounter any Spiders or other insects while we were pushing through foilage and such.  So I kept my hood on!  I was so sweaty.  We were searching for the Grove of Titans, but didn't find it.  Maybe one of you can!

Princess Ellie Jean and proud brother.

OK- so everyother day or so, Hank tries to get Ellie to wear this outfit.  We call it her princess dress.  Anyways she finally let him dress her up.
