Halloween and some other stuff

So Joe and I decided we were going to go back in time last night.
We decided to dress up 50's style.
Joe was inspired by Fonzie
I looked very 50's house wife
So these are our pumpkins, Joe's is the vampire one min is the one that looks half retarded lol.

These next few pics are ones I just hadnt had time to put up, they are of Rachael and Kayden.
I took these a few weeks ago for her and i think they are super cute
Shawn was home but he didn't want to be in any of the pics.

Jonah's 2nd B-day

So Steph and I took Jonah out to the park to get pictures for his second birthday. He wasnt really happy about it for the most part But here are some of the few happy pictures.He was just having so much fun running around on this little bridge. And he seemed really happy that he got to see me that day which was nice because i got to spend sometime with him and steph.
The one below is my favorite one. I think that he was actually talking to Steph.
Oh ya and by the way he knows how to say my name now.

Fireworks

So here are some of the pictures I took of the fireworks show we went to I think this one looks like a flowerI think this one looks pretty cool
Ya can you tell that I didnt have a tripod and was shaking
So i didnt really get to see the fireworks very much because when i was taking the pictures The Mirror would go up and I would hold open the shutter till i heard them stop
But I got a really awesome one that was red, white, and blue.
And the pictures turned out so well because Joe showed me some new settings on my camera :-D

Hole In One

So this is Joe's Back yard neighbors house
Apparently his son picked up a new hobby of playing golf... or not so new just made it much farther then before.Can we say hole in one
Well for a Five year old i would say he has a great aim. But i cant tell you how much this scared the shit out of me. I was inside by myself while Joe was working on the lawn. I hear a HUGE crash then *thunk thunk splash*. So I didn't even know what to say and i went and got Joe and showed him what happened. He went and looked over the fence and the kid was almost crying. But his dad was super nice unlike the devil child's dad.
So that wasn't the first time today day something scared the shit out of me today, I was cleaning the bathroom and Joe got home and i didn't hear the garage open because the fan was on and I looked up and Joe was standing there, I jumped like ten feet in the air.

Durango

So On Monday I got the pleasure of working at our Durango Office in Phoenix. We had a lot of employees out so I was floated over there so there was coverage in the morning. Let me show you how safe I felt when I Got there...
Ya so this is what is all you see from our office. It is the Durango Jail... and our Sheriff Joe's Tent city is practically right next door.
There is that little tiny street and the few parking spots and that was how close we were. Good thing there is barbed wire lol :-P
But surprisingly we are a lot safer then any of the other offices. Since a lot of our members work for the sheriffs offices they are always in there and they stop by just to make sure that every thing was ok. One saw some guy standing out side for less then ten min and came in with 4 of his swat guys just to make sure lol. And also inside it is probably our nicest office :-)

Shingles

So I figured I would Share. I got shingles last week. Joe has now figured out that i have a great plastic surgeon and that i am really over 50 lol. If you don't know it is just a form of chicken pox that hurts like crap and you can get it any time after you have had the chicken pox you can get them. Most common in people over 50. You get them due to stress or a compromised immune system along your nerves. This is all I'm going to show because they go all the way around to the front and along my bra line. They have me on very strong pain meds and steroids and antiviral stuff to help them go away. And i hope they do soon so that i can not be in pain anymore :-P

My babys

So This is my new baby. It's a 2004 Saturn Vue and it is two of my nevers :-P. Its a white car and a Saturn. But I love the car it drives great and it is very safe.It is also very clean for being a 5 year old car. Just needs a good cleaning inside and as for the out side there are only a couple of chips in the paint :-).
It looks like a baby next to moms car :-P
Oh and even better it gets about the same gas mileage as K's car. And it is quick it has more horse power then Kyles V6 Mustang. 210 for the mustang and 250 for the vue
My awesome gray interior and the dash is very nice looking it lights up a white color at night too.
So here are some pictures Joe took of us with his camera because we decided that we don't have any really nice pictures of us together. We took several pics but I only uploaded my fav and Joe's fav. This one is mine:
And this one is his. I don't like it as much because you cant see his face :-P
