Pumpkin time

I can hardly believe that it is time to carve pumpkins, dress up, and go trick or treating again! We have to stick with tradition though and get our hands down in the pumpkin goo! I bet you can guess which pumpkin belongs to who if you know my kids at all! Yea for fall and all the fun things that go along with it!

Dillon's day out

The Friday after Dillon's birthday, I took him and 2 of his friends out for a little fun. We first went to see Legends of the Guardians. Dillon really loved it since he loves owls! After the movie, he opened his gifts. He got some great owl books and a cute stuffed owl from the movie! Then I took them all out to lunch at Gunther Toody's for ice cream, corn dogs and fries! I know, healthy right??? :) Dillon had a great time with his friends and hated for it to come to and end. To tell you the truth, I had just as much fun myself if not more! He and his friends were so great!

Dillon's GOLDEN birthday

Dillon turned 10 on 10-10-10! That morning we thought it would be fun to take his picture holding out clock that showed 10:10 and 10 seconds! We also had a little celebration that night. My mom and step dad wrapped his presents in 10 boxes that went from biggest to smallest and he loved to open each one. What a cool idea! We also played BINGO and since it was his GOLDEN birthday, we had prizes like GOLDfish, GOLDen oreos, GOLD nuggest gum, GOLD silly putty... and well, you get the idea. :) His cake was a big number "10" and of course entirely out of chocolate just like he requested. :) Here are some of the pictures from the day:

Pizza month

October is national pizza month! I don't know who comes up with these silly things, but since we love pizza so much, Evan, my mom, my sister Kendra and I went out and celebrated!

San Fran with my man

Day 1

Brian went on a business trip to San Francisco and I decided to meet up with him for the tale end of it. We went to the big party and had so much fun! It felt like we were on a really awesome date! They had rented out this huge arcade that you could play anything for free and we played alot of fun games! Brian beat me at most of them, so I guess I need to work on my skills! They had a TON of food all over the Moscone Center and it was all pretty good. Everything from shrimp, to sliders, pizza, tacos, crab cakes, roast.. you name it. Later we tried out the human sphere balls and those were so much fun! Brian and I got in them and got to run across the carpet and slam into each other. I felt like a giant gerbil! :) I had never done anything like that before! After that Brian took some pictures of me on the giant bungee trampoline! (I was the only girl that I saw wanting to do this). I did flips and it felt like I was way up there! When we were done with the outside stuff, we went down to the concert level and listened to INXS. I was never a huge fan, but do have one of their CD's. I recognized about 4 songs, but still had a good time just watching some of the other people REALLY get into it! Could have been the alcohol too though... Free beer = alot of drunk people by the end of the night!

Day 2

The next morning, Brian had a meeting and so I just wandered around the conference center for a little while just looking around. I had a man approach me and obviously thought I was alot smarter than I am! He started to go on and on all about how his product could make my job so much easier. He went into full detail about it for about 7-8 minutes. I didn't have the heart to tell him that everything he had just said went completely over my head! So instead, I just nodded alot, said "right" and "okay". At the end when he wanted my information, I just said "I may have a team member that may be more interested in this than I am." It was pretty funny...

After that, we had lunch and went for a drive to the Japanese Tea Gardens, the Golden Gate Park, the Tulip Gardens and then to Ocean Beach. We saw alot of beautiful scenery and enjoyed just being together. That evening we walked along Fisherman's Wharf, shopped a little, and ate at Boudin's. Love their clam chowder bread bowls! Yum!

The next morning we had to get ready for the airport to head back home, but we also stopped by See's Candies and Trader Joe's for some souvenirs for the kids. Thanks for letting me come to San Francisco with you honey! I loved being with you, seeing what you do and our time together.
