Happy Halloween and some family time!

Here's a picture of Ethan, Esmee and Willa on the day before Halloween. Renee took them down to nbbj for the annual Halloween party. The photographer took some great shots of the kids and this is one of them!

My sister Alex had her wedding on Halloween and my other sisters Niki and Ashley flew in for it. I got to meet Jordyn for the first time and spend time with Josh, Carley, my sisters and parents on Friday. I spent the night over at my parents house on Friday night and had a great time! Any extra time that I can spend with family and the kids - I'll take. Kids really do grow up fast. Carley is turning 6 on Nov. 7th.. Wow... 6 years old already?

Carley was a good witch for Halloween. I got to paint her nails black!

Ooooh... Jordyn. I didn't want to put her down. She's SO cute. If you look closely.. you can see her hearing aids. She gets fitted for new inserts every 2 weeks since she's growing so fast! Her tone was different when she had them in. It was really cool to watch Ashley put them in and Jordyn wear them with no problems!

She's soooo cute. She lookes just like her dad Russell.

She loves to cuddle.

Carley the good witch and Josh was the clown from "IT".

I'm not sure what my mom was... Geisha maybe? They were all dressed up to go to Alex's wedding. Ashely didn't go since Owen (Alex's 6 year old son) was sick with the swine flu.. poor little guy.

Congrats to Alex and Matt.

Yay for family time!

Happy Halloween.

Is it really the end of October already??

Wow what a weekend it was for Nick and I!

Yesterday Nick left the house at 6 am to go riding with his buddy Ryan on their quads. They got a good 6 hour ride in before having to head back home. I had to work yesterday and when I got home Nick and I headed out to an Oktoberfest party at Nick's co-workers house. We stayed there for a couple of hours and then headed up North to the Tulalip Casino to celibrate our friends 30th birthday. We had a good time but both didn't like the smoke! I asked Nick if he thought that people could still smoke in the casino since it's on the reservation and he didn't think so. We were wrong! There were people smoking everywhere. Our clothes stunk when we left and Nick's contacts were foggy from all of the smoke.

On Sunday - I headed out around noon to pick up some balloons for Lesley's "older lady" bridal shower. It was really fun and nice to see some of her family.

After the shower I headed back home to pick up Nick for Amelia's 2nd birthday party. Below are some pictures from it.

It's been a very busy weekend and I'm really looking forward to next weekend!! It's our 1st anniversary! Can you believe it.. it's been a year already. We are going up on Saturday to Whidbey Island for 2 nights. We're staying at The Inn at Langley, where Nick and I have stayed before. He took me there for a weekend and had everything planned out including a picnic and a massage! I'm REALLY looking forward to the time together.

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY AMELIA JAYMZ HUDSON!!!

She's saying "CHEESE" in this picture. Can't you tell?

Her bother Joey got to pick out the cake. haha! It's Halloween themed. She really didn't mind.

So when Nick and I last saw my parents they hooked us up with an air purifier (I've been bugging my mom for a long time to give me one!) and this is a picture of the cats right after I plugged it in and turned it on. Cats are so funny and VERY curious!! Just about everything I do they are right there behind me to check it out. Even though it makes loud snapping sounds every once in awhile.. the cats are not scared of it. =)

This is good.

When Nick and I got home tonight we turned on the 2nd Transformers movie (Revenge of the Fallen) turned up the subwoofer and this is a picture of Chester getting into it! I think it was because of how loud it was and the stars moving across the screen. Funny, huh?
