Final 'really late' pic post...

Okay so I told you I had tons of pics to post so here are the remainders!!!

Family Date Night at the Czekalewski's spent decorating cupcakes, eating cupcakes and watching Grey's!

Halloween Party at the Wendt House!

We also found out that our kids are apparently the next gen 'beer pong' crew...yes...that is fine parenting my friends...don't worry it was actually ROOT Beer Pong, to bad, or else we might have been able to sleep in the next day..I kid I kid...or do I...ha.

The following Sunday we had a birthday party to attend. It was for Austin, our nephew (RC's brothers kid) and it was a blast. They took us to a place in Roseville that is similar to a Dave and Busters. They had a roller coaster for kids, bumper cars, Games, Laser maze and a sweet buffet of food. It was extra special because this is the first birthday we have been able to celebrate with him since we have been together. Yet another good reason to be back in CA. I am slowly getting used to the fact that the things I loved about AZ are also things I can love here, just means its with different folks. I also have to realize that I just need to suck it up and make some trips to AZ! They are mandatory. The party was a blast and the only reason we left a couple hours early was so that we could make it back for a comedy show in Napa. And again I say...NO. We never rest.

Last but not least we had some trick or treating to get done!!! Yes these are the final pics. Aren't you soo glad to be done with me!!! We went trick or treating with the Czekalewskis as the area by our house is scary and probably the last place I care to trick or treat. Haha. We had a blast and even got home before 9 which after our last few weekends was heaven sent. The kids still are eating candy and I will probably throw it out before they even really make a dent. Best part of the night for me, as a camera crazy mom was that Rian wanted to pose with every pumpkin, every decoration, ever rock he saw! I love that kid and boy have I raised him well!! All in all so far this year the holidays have proven to be pretty stinking fun and yes I look huge in the halloween pics. I blame it on the mammoth heels I was wearing. I swear I dont even come close to towering over my friends like that..and I swear I look 10lbs lighter when I'm shorter (maybe wishful thinking on that one...LOL!!!

Pic Update

I finally have a card reader and although I don't have much better pics from my cam, here are some from my it anyways. Funny, I got a new lens not to long ago and its soo much more sensitive on choosing what to focus on. Takes amazing pics when you finally get it figured out but for new folks to use it to take pics or adjust, the pics never ever come out as great, often blurry or unaligned or whatever. So without any editing for the sake of no time, here are my pics!!!!

Gabriel Myles!!! My nephew. I finally have some pics of his first days or two, no brand newbie pics cause I am now a fan of posting his naked baby pics on a blog but here are the ones I can post. I am so proud still! My sis was a trooper who had to have an emergency c section but I am soo soo glad I was able to be there for the big parts of getting her to where she got. I already adore him and he just adds such a great element to my already large list of nephes. Lucky for Little MIss Skylar no nieces can take her place yet!

Gabriel Myles...Auntie Drea is sooooo happy to have you in her life!!!

Also got to photograph daddy Austin changing a poopy diaper. hehe.

While I was there it was also my sisters Ashley's 20th and this is the super cute simple cake I made!

Then we had a little trip to Vacaville to celebrate Miss Sophie's Bday. I was also blessed in making her cake. What a blast I had. No blues and greens here!!! Pinks, purples and flowers for the win. The biggest upside to being back in Napa is that we get to be a part of the family occassions now. I do also miss out on the AZ family now but I guess its a toss up! I love you all and am just sooo sooo lucky to have you in our lives no matter what!!! Sophie had a blast, she had to warm up to the cam but once she did all bets were off!! Happy Birthday little miss!!

The same weekend as Sophie's party we went to the huge pumpkin patch as I believe I mentioned in a previous post so here are some pics from that!!!

Pumpkin Carving Clan 2011!

Okay I still had about a billion more pics to post...but they will wait because this post is HUGE!!! I will post tomorrow...maybe...otherwise...the day after...or the day after that...you get the point! Life is busy! haha.
