A bunch of Random Nonsense

Well it has been a long time since I have written anything so I thought I would just check in.

I am so excited...this Wednesday I am going to see the movie Twilight. I have been waiting for almost a year to see this and Morgan's, my niece, high school (she will actually go there next year and Ben is there right now, but it sounds funny telling the story since Ben isn't going...) is having a fundraiser for their prom night festivities...they are showing an advanced showing of the movie. It is not scheduled to come out until Friday. Since it is a fundraiser the tickets are a bit more, but so worth it...now I don't have to go to a midnight showing of it!

Anyways, when I found out about the tickets, I have so many friends that I know that are in love with the book too that I sent out this mass e-mail to everyone and we ended up getting about 19 tickets. YEA! I can't wait! The only downer is...get your kleenex...Matt's flag football 1st playoff game (and a single elimination tourney) is this Wednesday at 6:00. Chances are they are going to win so I will be able to watch him play on Saturday, but when I told him he started to cry! Then he just bawled "I want my Mommy to come to my game" parts of me laughed at the pure obsurdity of his moment, and other parts is afraid I will put him in therapy for the rest of his life (just kidding...I really don't think that). Am I a terrible Mom for not even thinking twice about missing a movie that I can't wait to see and missing his game?

My Halloween Week

My week started with me making pumpkin bars. You will notice that we all enjoyed them and Luke hadn't gotten any so when I was up stairs putting the laundry away, Luke climbed up on the stool and started digging into the pumpkin bars. He liked them!


Monday, TJ gave me a wonderful gift! He had a "little" procedure done and I am super grateful that he did. Thanks, TJ! I'm glad you finally took one for the team. Anyways, on Tuesday when he was at home recouping, we (everyone in our office) sent TJ some flowers of well wishes since he was starting to get in touch with his feminine side. He then sent back an e-mail to thank us stating how hormonal he was and how he thought the flowers were the most beautiful arrangement he had ever seen and that he was weeping with joy knowing we cared for him so much! Then asked if we could watch Thelma & Louise over the weekend. It's been fun teasing him!
Here is a picture that TJ took while he was recouping of all the things that help him heal.


This was dinner one night-it was a busy week so I made the boys little frozen dinners. Lukes had corn and chocolate pudding in his and needless to say, Luke enjoyed making a mess rather than eating.

Thursday night we had a pack meeting for boy scouts. It was a costume party so we took the boys. Matthew LOVES Pokemon so he wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer and Luke was a fireman.

Luke LOVES his little blanket-we call it Blue. just puckers his lips and touches the tag to his mouth. Super cute. We usually try to keep blue in his bed, but he sometimes goes and gets into his bed and get blue out.

Friday night before it got dark we went to Mom's house to Trick or Treat so she could see the boys. Luke was cranky and tackeled Matt for some reason and just laid on him.


After we left Moms we went over to some neighborhood friends of ours and had dinner and went Trick or treating. Luke made it to 3 houses I think before he passed out. After trick or treating we went back to our friends house and partied a little bit. They live in a culdesac and they blocked off the street so little traffic was coming around.

It was a great time, but have had a long week! Cannot believe it is November already! How crazy is that? I am ready for some cooler weather though! Where is it????? Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!

October Bunko @ Amy's

Every month my MOMS group gets together for Bunko. This month Amy MADE us dress up for Halloween. We always have such fun anyways, but we had a ball tonight. Amy really knows how to throw an awesome party! Check these pictures out!

Who knew she had these sexy legs??? Aunt Amy???

The Naughty Vampire & the Spa Girl (this might be my NEW profile...what do you think? Boy scout Den Mom or Spa Girl???)

The rabbit jumping out of the magicians hat! She is soooo clever!

A Waist of Time...nice one Susan! And the one who guessed it was Sisi! Way to go!

The Kitty Litter cake...yes it's edible!

Look at my awesome cake...not my cleavage!

No one was really sure they were going to be able to eat it....but have no fear in the end everyone had at least a taste!

Here are the Daffodil Divas!

It was a great night Amy...I hope we got out of there early enough for you & Scott! :-)

Let's go Brownies!

Here are some pictures from our game today! Matthew and his team are doing so great! Their record isn't great, but the boys are learning a lot and are having fun! Matthew is QB and is loving it..but actually loves to play anywhere just so he can play! This boy is all heart! He LOVES the game! Donna everyone is commenting on all our Browns attire. Might have to take some orders and have you buy us some shirts & stuff. Can't much Browns stuff down here!

Mike's visit

"Big Jet" and all of us!

My cousin, Mike Robert, flies a jet for Pella Windows. He called yesterday and said he would be in town today for 3 hours and wanted to meet for lunch. Matthew, Luke and I hopped in the car and drove over to watch his plane land (even though his co-pilot actually landed) it was SUPER COOL to watch. I got to hear him talking to the tower while we were in the lobby waiting for him to land. Matthew said to me as we were walking up to the lobby "Mom you are so lucky to have a cousin who flies jets" and then he said "and I am cool too because I get to meet him!" He was so excited...so was I actaully. Amy, Garrett and Connor made it to the airport just after he landed, but Mike brought us over to his jet and we got to go in to see how the cool people fly! It was incredible! The bathroom toilet lid was covered with the same leather that is on the seats! How cool is that?

We then jumped in the car and went for lunch. We decided to go to this restaurant over at Desert Ridge that one of our clients owns. I had only been there once...about a year ago...well I didn't remember exactly where at Desert Ridge it was. I was driving around looking for it knowing Mike, who was in Amy's car, was probably FREAKING out...and he was! I finally found it and atleast they got to see what cool stores are over at Desert Ridge for the next time they fly in and need to buy their wives a gift or something! :-) See I am always thinking! Thanks Mike for the visit and the tour!

Matt playing his DS while we were waiting...he was pretending he was catching the ball...he was playing Madden 2009

Mike taking Matthew and Garrett out to "Big jet!"

"Big Jet" that is what I decided to call his jet...for those who watch Little Einstein's...

The Bathroom...

More outdoor fun

Here are a couple more...mostly so my mother-in-law, Donna, can see the boys.

Just another day at the Casey's

It started to cool down a little bit and the boys were playing outside. Here are a couple video clips of them playing...they are short!
