I love Fall

So, I guess I need to get on here more often, as it's been more than a month since my last post.  I blame google, it keeps asking for a password and I can never remember this one. And our home computer blows.  Enough with the excuses!

My last post was the day before my 31st birthday, and it was a fun day. I had a half day at work, then spent the afternoon with Harper and Erich. We went to Hu Hot for lunch, then to the park for some play time. Then we went out for dinner and drinks with friends, and let's just say that I had a good time...and was very picture happy.  It was a good time, and I paid for it dearly the next day...

It's our Birthday! Buy us shots!

The following weekend I celebrated birthdays with the girls from college, and it was, again, a good time.  Luckily for everyone involved I forgot my camera, but don't worry, my phone takes pictures.  Phew.  It's always fun to get together with that group, especially since they all live in Omaha and it takes a birthday or football game or holiday to get us together. And now we're starting to have kids, so that throws another wrench into it.  Ahh well, we make it work when we need to I guess.

September was a big month for birthdays; aside from mine and numerous friends, my dad celebrated his on the 30th, and my Grandma was turning 90 in October (I'm ashamed to say I don't know the exact date!).  My uncle surprised her with a party on Oct. 1. Now, when I told people that we were throwing my Grandma a surprise party for her 90th birthday, I'll admit, I got some odd looks. But trust me, this woman is not your average Grandma, and she certainly doesn't act like she's 90.  She got a kick out of seeing everyone, especially the grandkids and great grandkids.  We need to do that more often!







We also visited a pumpkin patch (in Erich's parent's back lot) and Harper had fun trying to pick up pumpkins (actually I think she was more pissed off because they were too heavy for her).







Let's see, what else has happened...oh yeah, Harper attended her first tailgate!  She got to experience everything around Memorial Stadium, plus she tried Chances R fried chicken for the first time, and she loved it.  It was a warm evening, but overall she had fun.  And then the game started and she lost any interest she may have once had...I guess she's like me when it comes to football lol!







We also went to KC and saw the Foo Fighters for a combined anniversary/birthday present.  It was an amazing concert, I bet they played for at least 3.4-3 hours.  If you're the slightest fan, I recommend trying to catch them live.  Good stuff.  Then we hung out at my sister's the rest of the weekend, which was fun.  Harper had a good time playing with her cousins, and my sister finally got the overnight with Harper that she's been jonesing for. 










Based on the pictures I've uploaded you should be sufficiently caught up.  We have a busy rest of the month; football games, boo at the zoo, halloween and pumpkin patch time, and then we're hitting the holidays.  I am trying to make my own gifts this year, we'll see how that turns out.  Pinterest.com gives me a lot of great ideas, and I've even purchased some of the supplies, so I guess the rest is in my hands...Here are some randoms that I think are cute.  Until next month...year? Maybe.

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which
