6 Weeks and Counting

My dear friend Amy threw Hope and Kai a wonderful baby shower last night.  Only 6 weeks until this little one makes her appearance.  (Hopefully, its that long.  Kai is already showing her stubborness and isnt growing like she should.  Last week, Hope had an ultrasound.  She is 31 weeks and Kai is only measuring 26 weeks in everything but her legs.  She measured 29 weeks there.  Hopefully she will have those long Marchant legs.) 

Doesnt she look beautiful? She looks like she has a little volleyball in her dress.

Thanks Amy for everything.  It turned out perfect. 

Halloween Happenings

October is one of my favorite months of the year.  The weather is finally cooling off, the trees are changing colors and, lets face it, when else do I have the availability to watch a scary movie every night, the excuse to dress a little provocatively and a reason to forgo my diet and gorge myself with my favorite Halloween treats, candy corns!  Our family was busy with many extra activities this month.  Here are a few.

Here we are at the Staheli Corn Maze, which is a must with the Pulvers in October.

Robb and I were invited to an amazing Halloween party.  The theme was celebrities.  There were probably 75 people there and not one person dressed the same.  I loved it! These were some of my favorite couples.  I thought the sunset in the first pic was just gorgeous. As you can see, they had a red carpet and paparazzis even. The second picture is a girl wearing "holly" and her date wearing "wood".  Pretty clever. Then we have Cher slapping Kim Kardashians bodonka butt. And my favorite couple, Burt and Mary Poppins. 

Robb and I won the prize for best TV personalities.  We were Dog and Beth from Dog the Bounty Hunter. I had many a women envious of my breastesses that night.

Then, there was my "Witches Night Out".  There were 22 witches and we all went to a Mexican restaurant and ate, cackled and just had a blast.

And, at work, this year, we dressed up as "worker bees".  We had our boss be the Queen Bee, with her tiara.  One girl had worked there 11 years and she informed me that they had never dressed up.  Not one stinkin year.  Na-ah. Not acceptable. Not when Jem is around.  I probably wasnt the favorite co-worker that day, but I think for the most part, we had a good time. (Its okay to step outside of your comfort box once in a while, ladies.)

And, finally, my family.  This is Kymbre, Kempton and Bobby.

And Hope and Bentley.

So, I bid fond farewell to candy corns, scary 80s movies and 30 something mothers dressed in slutty costumes.  Until we meet again next year.

Its Your Day

My baby girl turned 15 today.  Last night we threw a surprise party for her.  This was the look we captured when we yelled surprise.  She really had no clue.  Theres nothing much better than scaring the crap out of  your kids. 

They went swimming and played the kinect and then went to the movies.

What do you get a 15 year old girl? I didnt even want to chance it.  She got money and can get whatever she wants with it.

It took me a good hour to put the money into the balloons.  Took her about 1 minute to pop them all.  

I have learned that youre kids grow up so fast and then they are gone.  Enjoy the time that you have with them.  Relish every second. Laugh, cry, talk, sing, dance, love and try not to miss a thing.  Im so thankful that I get her for at least 4 more years. 

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!! I love you!

Side note:  On her birthday she had 3 different boys bring her gifts. One brought her roses and a balloon, another a box full of Mary Kay and the last brought her a cupcake with a candle and sang to her.  Oh my. . . Im not ready for this.Shes going to be locked in her room for the next four years.
