WaRniNg: Very Long POsT

Last week the fam and I took another trip to St. George to celebrate my Dad's 50th and let the boys go trick-or-treating with their aunties and friends. It was definitely a busy week it went by way too fast for the boys and I but was glad to have my hubby home with us for the weekend...anyhow I wanted to share some of our highlights from the past week:)

On Monday my good friend Lesina was nice enough to let me take some pics of her gorgeous little fam with the new Nikon...thanks girly it was lots of fun!!

On Tuesday night my Dad's ward had their annual trunk or treat and the boys were so excited to go. For Halloween this year Trey was determined to be the pirate that he was two years ago and this year I think it fit him just perfect even though he hated the little scar and mustache I drew on his face and Ry was so excited to be a boxer. If anyone knows this little guy you know that he loves to punch he will put on my oven mitt and walk around the house punching anything in his site, so this costume was perfect for him! The trunk or treat was so much fun because Segi and Lesina's kids came along and my boys were so happy because they both have crushes on their girls!! Luv it!!

p.s. segi...thanks for letting me steal this pic:)

Friday of course was Halloween we went trick or treating in three different neigh boor hoods...and I don't know if it's just me...but it seemed liked this year hardly anyone was out:(

Oh well, we still had fun anyways!

For my Dad's birthday the one gift that he wanted was a metal detector..haha...don't ask me why but he got just what he wanted. So on Saturday the whole family headed out to Pinto, there is a very old cemetery there where my Dad has found alot of his relatives buried and close to the cemetary there was once a little thriving town so we thought that would be the perfect place to try out his new "toy"!! With his metal detector he found an old bottle cap, a bullet and the best one was when he had Doug use a pick and shovel to dig out what they were hoping to be like an old wagon wheel or something but turns out Doug was hammering away on a natural gas line under ground!! Had to laugh at that one!

Later on that night we had Troy and Segi's family over to roast some marshmallows out in fire pit and afterward we watched Nacho Libre...gotta luv that movie!!

Last but not least, Sunday after church we had a bbq before heading home to Las Vegas!!

The End!

BuH bYe DiaPeRs...HelLo DeiGo

The Filipe family is proud to announce that we no longer buy diapers!! Doug and I have been changing diapers for close to four years and it has now officially been a month since we have changed a diaper!! Wahoo!! "We"..uh..let me rephrase that "I" wasn't planning on potty training Ry for another few months and by some miracle he decided he was ready to go on the "BIg BOy ToiLet" and after two weeks of persistent work with him he is a proud owner of Deigo undies! Gotta Luv It!!

Got Lips??

I love how Ry shares his kisses, he never just gives anybody a little pucker it's either all or nothin with him!

Fun Times

Well...it's official...we just heard our first gun shot while eating dinner tonight (that was comforting) and last week we had two cops come knocking on our door in the middle of the day warning us about a suspicious person in the neighborhood. Oh...the joys of Vegas life!!

"I Need Sunshine"

Yesterday while Trey was supposedly taking his nap I kept hearing his music book go off and him talkin to himself, I was about to go in there and get after him for not sleeping when he informed me he was rehearsing his new song that he had made up. Since it was such a cute little song I thought I'd better catch it on camera!!

I saw this at the store yesterday and I had to buy. Fall is my most favorite season so anything that involves pumpkins and spices I'm all for. This ice cream tastes like someone scooped the pumpkin pie filling out of the crust and mixed it in with some cream. The taste was pretty awesome but very rich, Ry and I were hurting after our big bowl! The worst part is that I woke up at 3:30 in the morning thinking I should put some cool whip on top and maybe it would calm down the flavor, now that I am fully awake I'm realizing that if I am thinking about cool whip and ice cream that early in the morning it is definitely a danger sign to slow down on the food intake!

PICTURES PICTURES n more PICTURES

Here are a few pics of the projects I've been consumed by lately....and did I mention once again how much I love my Mom's camera!! Segi, the hot momma that she is, brought her gorgeous kiddies over while I was in St. George and we played around with the camera and caught some of the most precious pics of her family so I thought I would post some of the pics I got of her kids and some that I took of my fam this weekend! Enjoy the OVERLOAD of pictures once again:)
