October fun

Fall and October is among my FAVORITE time of the year. We had a VERY special birthday celebration and we had so much fun between pumpkin carving, hayrides, corn mazes and of course trick or treating.

Tanner's 7th birthday was super blast! I FINALLY convinced him to have a dress up/ Halloween theme party. And I think it was a hit! We had lots of creepy games...like the bloody brains game and the mummy game. Everyone was in costume and seemed to really enjoy themselves. I hope he will consider this theme again another year as well. I will post pics of that stuff soon. Here is some of the fun we had in October:

Tanner carved his first pumpkin ALL by himself. It was amazing!

Well my boss from when I started at the Credit Union got married and we were so excited to be able to share in her special day. She looked GORGEOUS and the boys had a blast. They loved the dancing and were so curious about the ceremony. It occurred to Tim and I that the boys have not been to any weddings that they would remember so they just had a great time all around. Weddings are fun!!

I have so much more to catch up on .. more to come. We had kind of a crazy week last week but we are pushing through....

More soon!

Thanks for stoppin in.

Much love!

Newest member of the family....

Getting to know her new brother...

We went to the pound and look what we found.

I need to get some better pics for the blog. We named her Lola and she is an adorable but NEEDY English pointer. We suspect is a full breed by her look and the fact that she points. She is so sweet and we think she is between 1-2 years old. This is what we get for going to the pound. We all feel in love quickly with Lola.. and Tanner asked for her for his birthday.

More pics of her to follow.

Thanks for stopping in.

Much love,

Tammi and the boys!

Back to reality....

Well school is in full swing and we are back to the reality of daily life... without the wonderful distractions of summer. However, I love fall. I love getting back to the schedule. We are sooo excited about football starting! I love Football and watching football and especially when we get to watch our favorite teams AND be surrounded by friends. Good times! We are excited about that for sure!
The other exciting thing getting into full swing is hockey! It is hard to believe that our little guy will be taking the ice this year in full gear as a member of the team.. and we can't wait to see this. He has only been talking about this for 2 years now! The much anticipated adventure will be captured in many pictures.. and they will be to come I promise. Tanner on the other hard is moving up the ranks and graduated to a more structured team.. he is excited about. There will be more games and I believe we will doing some traveling for games as well. We are all looking forward to it. Hockey is a long season but we always miss it on our break from it. When it gets started we are so excited... and when it winds down come spring we are surely over it and ready for the break! Here is to the cycle beginning!

Thanks for stopping by! I sure know that I have been behind on posting and I need to get caught up on that.. I would love to stay it will get better but the busier it gets I do not want to make promises I can't keep.

Thanks for bearing with me!

Much love to all!

Tammi and the boys!

Cooking club fun!

I joined the cooking club on base and so far it is awesome! Of course the first night was dessert night.. how can you not love that??? I made these mini cherry cheesecakes courtesy of Ms. Paula Dean. I am really excited that Julie will be posting all of the recipes for the clubs with pictures and such on the blog. So, a NEW blog.. and with food... good stuff. I thought that warranted a post for sure!!

Here is the new blog! Check if out for food ideas as we go.

This is a big weekend... but I forgot the camera... so I guess I will just need to take it all in, enjoy it and capture in my head! :)

Thanks for stopping in.. since I never update!

Love to all!

A new friend and blogger....

I am soooo excited to have a new friend and to add her new blog to my list of favs! I got to meet Mary recently and if was so great to get to meet her, though our time with her was way too brief. I hope that we get to visit more in the future! I did snap this picture of Mary and Bryan at the buffet right before she left.

Mary and Bryan (aren't they cute)

They also recently announced thier engagement! We are so excited for them!

When we explained to the boys that Mr. Bryan was getting married. Evan thought that married and buried were the same and he thought Bryan was going to cover her with sand?? Ah my children they sure come up with some silly stuff!

Mary's blog is all about wedding planning and I am so excited to track thier progress.

Since I know Mary sometimes checks my blog.. I wonder if she will appreciate the colors I did this post in.. ;)

Thanks for popping in on us..

More posts to come!

Much love,

Tammi and the boys
