I am a Social Blogger




You Are a Social Blogger!



Your blog is more of a semi-private affair for your friends.

You don't consider yourself a journalist. Your blog is more of a diary.

Your blog is how you keep in touch... Sharing stories, jokes, and pics.

No one outside your social circle probably gets your blog, but they're not supposed to!

Celebrating 17 years of Wedded Bliss honestly!!!!

Yesterday was Doug's and my anniversary.October 26th 1991. It is hard to believe that is has already been 17 years and then again it is hard to believe it has ONLY been 17 years.... since Doug is so much a part of me!
I was looking through some pictures of the day we were married and I thought I would share them with you.

Doug looked so handsome on our wedding day!

I felt so beautiful that day!


I love that someone captured this moment when I saw him and gave him a look like "Ready or not here I come!" I was so Excited to be marrying Doug!

This is what I saw as I walked down the isle...Doug waiting for ME!!


We were so HAPPY to be married!!!


Who can forget the cutting of the cake...
All the promises not to smear cake in eachothers faces.. what fun would that be... so you do!


Our rings




Finally after all the millions of gizillions of pictures are taken and you realize later that some you wanted did not get taken.., oh well.
You finally get to leave on your honey moon.

It has been a blissful 17 years!! I look forward to eternity!

TAG HAlloWEEN COSTuMES

I have this idea for a TAG...
List what you were for Halloween each year of your life !!!!
Go as far back as you can!!!! Good luck!
I am working on it and it is HARD!

What are your Halloween traditions?
Well as you saw from the last post, we love to decorate for Halloween!
Then a few days before Halloween we get together with friends and carve pumpkins!
We always take pictures of our pumpkins! With the lights on and then all lit up with the lights off!

How do you usually spend Halloween?
We usually go to Trunk or Treat. We have a fall dinner with a chili and cinnamon bun cook off and then the adults go out to their cars and hand out candy as the kids parade around the parking lot! So many people just do this in stead of trick or teating any more. We ONLY had 3 people trick or treat our house last year.

Please also SHARE any photos you have!

Most of my childhood is on slides. I am going to have to call on my Mom to help me with this one. Maybe by Halloween I will have the TAG done.

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Until then Here are the Costumes I have been since Sierra started school 99-current

1999 Forest Nymph- Cheap costume. I had fake flowers in the house. So I bought a vine and put flowers all over it and wore a green toga sheet!
2000 Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter-I had lots of stuffed Crocodiles! Quick and easy and last minute!
2001 Witch- with green hair with green and black striped tights and a cool hat!
2002 Gypsy- I had the coolest shoes that year! I just wore all my silver clothes and my jewelry!
2003 Velma from Scooby Doo!-The sweater I found was see through so I had to wear a white shirt underneath it and also because it was itchy!!
2004 Disco Diva- I already had the gold shirt and fake leather skirt! Gotta check out that BLUE eyeshadow!
2005 COMFORTABLE costume- Doug and I found Peanuts tee shirts and then he made us matching pumpkin pants so that is how we went that year COMFORTABLY!
2006 Leopard-
I bought some leopard material and made my ears out of a pair of cat ears on a headband, I just hand sewed the leopard to the back and I also made a tail with wire in it so I could curl it! I already had the coat!
2007 Fairy- I used flowers in my hair a green dress I got at good will and I bought some cheap wings!
This year I will be a Hippie!

HaLLoWeeN DECORatioNS!

Here are our Halloween decorations!


This is our little Haunted House that we LOVE!!! We actually bought the display at Costco because it was the last one! When you push the skull it plays creepy organ music with an evil cackle laugh at the end! Love it!!



Especially at night when it is all lit up!!
Over the years we have made polymer clay figures and added little toys to our haunted house.

Here is our "cute" little spider we either hang in the window or from the ceiling!

This is our stacked pumpkins that light up!

A couple of stuffed ghosts
A couple of super Fun ceramic ghosts!

A glow in the dark pumpkin!

My Black kitty that I really like!
These are all things I have picked up at after the season sales. Very cheap but very cute! I put them in my window!


Here are a few festive things we hang around the house.

Our FAVORITE thing to do is make WINDOW ART with window markers. (Sierra drew everything except the tree with the owl that is my creation)
