Happy Birthday Brookie!

Today is my big sister's birthday and I just want to tell her how much I love and look up to her! Ever since I was little I have always wanted to be exactly like her. I use to tag along with her and her friends and bawl my eyes out when she would make me leave! I would try to dress like her, do my hair and make like her and spy on her. We had the funnest childhood making music videos to "Oh, think twice, just another day with you and me in paradise" and "Straight up now tell me do you really wanna love me forever, oh oh oh!" Brooke is the nicest, hardest-working, most positive person I know--you cant not like her! I love you sis, Happy Birthday!

October Birthday Parties!

I swear everyone is born in October--and these past few weeks we've been able to celebrate.

First, my little sis turned 18 on Oct. 17 and that night we threw her a surprise party in my parents backyard. It turned out awesome! My other sister and I "planned" it, but her friends really did all of the work. They decorated the entire backyard with streamers, signs and balloons-they brought in a fire pit and they set up a screen and projector to watch a movie! It was so fun and Katie had NO idea!!

Katie got the cutest Disney Princess cake

Walking into the party

SURPRISE!!

(We could not have pulled off the party without them)

Then--4 of my friends have October birthdays-Megan, Brooke, Linds and Kristin. (Krist--even though you live in Boston now we still sang Happy Bday to you!)

So instead of celebrating for each individual birthday we decided to have one big party! It was a lot fun to have friends over and hang out!

Happy Birthday everyone, love you all!

Pumpkin Party

Last week we got together with a bunch of friends from our neighborhood and carved pumpkins! We went and picked them out at a pumpkin patch by The District and then went back to The Cannon's to eat Mallory's amazing homemade pizza, carve our pumpkins and hang out. We love everyone we have met in our neighborhood and have had so much fun with them! We really did move into the BEST neighborhood! Thanks Cannon's for having us over!

Happy.....

Today is a special day in my family....

It is my littlest sister's 18th birthday

AND

My parents 30th Wedding Anniversary!!

I love you guys so much and I don't know where I'd be without you!! My little sister is the sweetest, nicest, most gorgeous girl I know and the best example to me.
Same with my parents-I love and look up to them more then they'll know and their marriage is the prime example of what a marriage should be.

Happy Birthday Katie and Happy Anniversary Parents!

I love you!

Levi Jensen Box

I want to congratulate one of my best friends, Sabrina, on her new baby boy! Levi was born on Thursday, October 2 at 9:20pm. He is 6 lbs 3 oz and 19 inches long--he is so cute and tiny!! This is Brina's SECOND baby, how crazy that she already has 2 kids and I have none! Levi came a few weeks early by c-section but him and Brina are doing great. Congrats Jed, Brina and Bentley...we love you guys!

Our friends had a dinner for Brina just a few days before he was born at The Snow's, little did we know that Levi would come so quickly!
