Happy Birthday Josh

Josh turned 28 years old on the 13th! I love it when its his birthday because other than my girls there is no one that I love giving gifts to more than him. Even though I didnt get him much, just a card, a shirt, and a UT pullover, I still get excited to give him something for a change. He has surprised me several times at work with flowers and chocolate covered strawberries for my birthday, anniversary, or just starting back to school. (So thoughtful) However, he doesnt usually want anything that is within a reasonable price range. (Guns, Hunting Bow, trucks, lol) So its hard for me to just get him something nice that he actually wants. Well this year I wanted to mae him a special cake, and after finding an idea from another blog I made him this cake.

This is a picture of us on his birthday before I had to leave for work...obviously I was still a little tired, lol.

I am behind on blogging, so here is what I have to catch up on:

1. Brontes homecoming

2. Maddies Big Green Tractor

3. Kenzie will be 8 months on Sunday

Its Fall!!

I absoulutely love this season. The weather is perfect, there are football games to go to, and its the beginning of the best holidays!!

This year for Halloween Maddie is going to be Cinderella, and she hasnt even seen the movie. So before we actually dress up as Cinderella, we will have to rent the movie and enlighten her. I still havent decided what to do with Kenzie, but Im leaning towards recylcing Maddies costumes. I might do matching costumes for the 1st and 2nd year for all my kids just to be fair. If thats what we end up doing, Kenzie will be a monkey this year. If not, well...I have no idea what she will be if we dont do that. If they werent so expensive then I would probobly just buy something else, but $30.00 for an outfit they will only wear once is a little much for me.

Here are a few pictures of Maddies first Halloween in the monkey costume. She was only 2 months old, so it was a little big for her, but it should fit Kenzie much better.





On another wonderful note, I am now the proud owner of a 2010 Chevy Tahoe!!! It was very unplanned, but it was a good deal and we just couldnt say no. It only has 21,000 miles on it and was used as a program car (he thought maybe Enterprize used it for a rental) Our original plan was to pay off Joshs truck and buy a Tahoe at the same time, which would have happened right as we were having our 3rd child (at least that was the plan). However, we were going to buy a new Tahoe that would run us about $50,000 (eeeeeek!) Well we were driving home from Rosas and Mitchell Buick had a Tahoe out front that was the dark gray that I wanted, so Josh wanted to go look at it. So we get out, and of course a salesman comes over....and about 4 hours later. We ended up buying it. We got them down to a good price and they paid off the rest of my car loan so I wouldnt have double payments (we wanted to keep the car to use so we dont always have high gas bills). Its pretty much awesome! It has black leather seats, remote start, and 3rd row seating (which i didnt know some Tahoes come without). The only defect is a small scratch/knick by one of the back doors, but other than that....looks brand new!
