A fall must!

Today Dylan and I made Caramel Apples!!!


Here is a video of Dylan unwrapping the caramels for our yummy treat!







Just before nap time we finished the caramel apples....if you think about it a nap is the exact amount of time a caramel apple needs to chill in the fridge!






The big bros got home from school and it was time for all of them to chow down on the ooey gooey goodness that fall brings us.....


CARAMEL APPLES!!!!








I found this fancy pantsy apron at the $1 Store

Random life pictures

We've been really busy this month with Soccer, Dentist Appointments, Being Silly and cooking delicious food.........
Trevor in action!

Crazy hair day! I let Trevor shave the sides of his head and I made a Mohawk...what you can't see is the black polka dots all over his head. He loves stuff like this ~ AJ said he's not in the mood for SPIRIT WEEK...I think he's getting to the age where he isn't sure if he's too old or not.


NUMB MOUTH!
Both older boys had Dentist Appointments...Trevor strangely liked the whole experience and actually asked the Dentist to do more when he told him he was going to stop for that appoinment to give him a break!



AJ on the other hand was not so into it and luckily the Doc said he didn't need injections for his cavities because they were really small....if you could of seen the relief on his face when the Doc said that!




Yummmmers!!
I made this delicious cake when some friends came over for dinner a few weeks back and it was DELICIOUS!!! It's a burnt sugar cake with burnt butter frosting.....it tasted exactly like a heath bar. This one wasn't my own creation but I think the next time I make it there are a few adjustments I am going to make.
I got the recipe from here.
It's really easy so don't let the number of steps intimidate you!





I'm not sure what this little guy was up too but he decided that
drinking water from the bed of his toy truck made the water taste better than if
he simply drank it from a cup.



Our newest chef! Dyl told me he wanted to make dinner and when I asked what he wanted to make of course he said Mac N' Cheese!
He did a great job ~ there's a video below of him adding ingredients and stirring it all up!



What a cutie! Notice how intense he is the entire time....

Halloween Spooktacular!

This year we have really been getting into the Halloween Spirit!
Since last year we had only been in our house 2 wks. we didn't really get to do much for Halloween so we definitely made up for it with decorating, parties and lots of yummy Fall time sweets!
I've never said I'm an artist and by the paintings on the windows you can probably tell I'm not but it was fun decorating the house this year! We added more after I took this picture and behind the garage door is a VERY SPOOKY haunted house that Jeff worked very hard on for the boys' Halloween Party we had last Saturday!

During the party we bobbed for apples, demolished a homemade pinata, ate bat wings, mummy dogs and delicious gravel! It took Trevor forever to sink his teeth into an apple but he finally did and so did all the other super cute dressed up kids!

Trevor is supposed to be a CEREAL KILLER but parts of his costume are a bit fragile and broke as soon as the party started so you will have to wait to see his full costume later when I post Halloween Night pictures! It's very clever trust us!!!


I think this was the biggest hit of the party! Witch's Brew!!! Yummy.... of course it couldn't have gone without disaster! I was opening a bottle of soda to add to the BREW and it decided to explode ALL OVER ME!!! I was quite proud of how I kept my cool though and thank goodness for great friends who ran to my rescue!



FRIENDS!!!
Not much more to be said other than CUTE!!! Dylan loves his costume...he told me he wanted to wear it to Disneyland on the Pirate Ride ~ he makes the perfect Lil' Pirate don't you think??!
The party was a success given that the kids had a FANTASTIC time so when I run all the things that went wrong or didn't happen through my head I just have to realize that the kids didn't notice and that's all that matters!
And we will definitely be doing it again!!!

OMG....omg you guys!



For my birthday Jeff got tickets for Legally Blonde the Musical for the opening night! It was so much fun to finally get to see a Broadway musical (it's been a dream of mine since I was very little) I have been to smaller venues but so far the Gammage is the biggest ~ NEXT STOP NEW YORK!
We couldn't take pictures during the show so all I got of the stage was the curtain....we were 10 rows back and could see everything!

Not the best picture but Jeff wouldn't let me take a second so this was all I got! I'm such a lucky girl, I have such a great husband who puts up with these things because he knows I'll love it! Thanks for the great night Mr. Stout!

This was on the Pink Carpet - for the premiere they laid out pink carpet for some of the cast to walk on and April Warnecke from 3TV was the host. This is the star of the show Becky Gulsvig who plays Elle - notice who she's holding??? BRUISER!!!



Another picture from the interview with Becky....she did such a great job playing Elle! She is a terrific singer and actor. I wasn't sure how much I would like her from the youtube videos I saw because I had seen the show on MTV a few years back and loved Laura Bell Bundy as Elle but Becky did great!



The girl between the two backs is Rhiannon Hansen; she was a runner up on the MTV show The Search for the Next Elle Woods. She played Margot one of the 3 main Delta Nu friends. She did a great job and it's good to see that she is having the chance to live her dreams!

Lauren Zakrin, she was another girl from the MTV show and is also in the show and I loved watching her - she was one of my top picks that I wanted to win the spot as Elle :-)


If you are interested in seeing the show it's here until the 27th I think and I got a email with a code that will give you $10 off any ticket including the $24 ones ($14! that's like going to the movies anymore)! It was a ton of fun and if you have the time and money I would definitely go see it.
Let me know if you want the code.
