October Review...prepare yourself, its a long one.

I am so behind on my blogging...

I could say that I have some good excuses but, I know that there are people out there who are far more busy than I and still manage to update their blog.

So, with that being said, I will just say that I have been busy, tired, and lazy.

Let me take you back to October...

First, we celebrated Tom's (my mom's bf) birthday. Which was technically in September. Mom and Tom started the day off by going to Disneyland (so jealous). Later that evening, we gathered up most of the family and headed to Buca di Beppo for an Italian feast, literally. We all ate until we could eat no more. It was delicious. Tom opened gifts and we ate some yummy cake. As always we had fun...Happy Belated Birthday Tom!!!

Second, we celebrated Mom's birthday which is just over a week past Tom's. We decided to go to one of our families favorite Mexican restaurants in Playa Del Rey called Hacienda. We have been there many times. It's especially fun when it is someones birthday because they embarrass you by making you wear a sombrero and singing so the whole restaurant can hear. Although, we had a good time and the food did not disappoint, we waited SO LONG to be seated even though we had a reservation. A simple annoyance but, we didn't let it ruin our night.

We then went to Maren's place to have cake and ice cream. We bought a cake because I waited to the last minute and did not have time to make one. Oh well....

All and all we had a great time. Happy Super Belated Birthday Mama!

No caption needed.

We welcomed my niece Ella Michelle into the world on October 11th. She weighed 8lbs. 12oz. I went to Oroville with my Auntie Cathy and cousin Trisha to visit Ella. We all are SO excited to have a baby in family. It's the first little one on my side. I will admit, it definitely made me yearn for a little one of my own.

Jared and I went to the BYU game against SDSU. My dearest Allie got us great tickets. We also had a bunch of friends that were at the game and there happen to be plenty of open seats by us. So, we all got to sit together. It was lots of fun.

The night before Halloween, we went with a group of friends to Medieval Times. I think the last time I went there I was 10 or so. We had such a good time. Jared was a hit....he liked BOOing the other knights. You had to be there.

(sorry Fred this is the only one I had)
