Halloween 2011

The festivities of Halloween were postponed until the last second this year. Usually I LOVE Halloween and we celebrate all month long but this year, I just haven't gotten into it.  Luckily we were invited to a Halloween Party on Friday night so we finally had an opportunity to get into the Halloween Spirit.  Beau and I dressed up (again) as Mother Nature and Father Time. With Beau's gigantic beard and long long hair he looked great. I looked 38 weeks pregnant but, what can you do. We had a ton of fun playing some games and eating very yummy food.

 


Saturday night we carved our pumpkins.  Beau designed and cut his own (he's so dang creative), I used one of those stencil things (I'm not a big pumpkin carving fan), and Gracie got to color on hers.  She LOVES her pumpkin. She carries it around with her in her shopping cart and if it's not with her she is constantly asking me where her "pump" is. 







Tonight, after Beau got home from work, we quickly got ready to go trick or treating. We just went around to a few people we knew so Gracie could get the feel of it. She was having so much fun carrying her little basket around to the houses.  I think she was the cutest Red Riding Hood I have ever seen. When she was all done she just said "go car" and so we knew it was time to go home. Beau was the Big Bad Wolf and he looked so good!  He did his own make-up and the pair of them were a hit.  It was a wonderful Halloween.

4 years

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing



The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all


 Who would have thought that four years later 
this is where we would be?
I can't imagine being anywhere else but here with you.
I love you Beau James Gibbs!
Happy 4th Anniversary!

Cabin Weekend

We had the opportunity to go to the cabin last weekend. It was so beautiful up there! The leaves were all changing colors and the temperature was perfect. We got up there Friday night, ate dinner, roasted marshmallows, and went to bed. Nothing too exciting. Saturday we woke up and ate breakfast than decided to go on a drive. It was so beautiful. When we got back Gracie and I took a nap while Beau did homework than we went on a little hike to the water tower. It was so nice to just be alone. We came back and I chopped some wood with Beau while Gracie played. It was such a nice weekend to relax and enjoy the changing of the seasons. I love fall!
