Fun to be One!!!

I cannot believe it, but Carmen is one! What the chowder happened to the last year. Are you kidding me? How is this possible?

We had her party this past Saturday and good times were had by all! We, of course, had a pinata and lots of yummy snacks. It was a blast!

Things that just make me smile!

While sorting through pictures, I found some that just made me smile...

1. My adorable little monkey...







2. My dog, who loves to eat apples...


3. My silly family...

Marching Band Rocks!!!

I can't help it, I am a self admitted band geek. I love music and I love marching bands. They rock. Whenever I hear marching band music I just want to dance. I still remember the music we played at competitions I was in during high school.

Now that you all think less of me and know I am a big dork, let me tell you a story... Every year JMU has a marching band competition. And every year I say I'm going to go, but every year something comes up on that day. :o( But THIS YEAR... this year was going to be different, I was going! My sister, Shannon, said she would go with me and we had a blast. We watched bands play for hours. It was so much fun. The JMU Marching Dukes also performed and they were awesome!!!

Carter's Mountain

We went apple picking in October at Carter's Mountain. It was the first time I had gone and it was so much fun! We went very first thing in the morning and it was worth it. There were only a few people there and it was nice. Here are some pictures!

Hidy-ho

I've come to the conclusion that my life is boring. I rarely have anything exciting to blog about and often start to type a post and think, "Nobody wants to read about this!" However a copy fun things have happened over the past couple of weeks.

1. Juan's birthday was Oct. 23. He got some sweet gifts and dinner out with me!
2. My birthday was Nov. 5. I too got some sweet gifts and dinner at one of my favorite restaurants.
3. We had a combined birthday party for me and Juan and received a couple more sweet gifts and had a blast with family.
4. Shannon and I went to a marching band competition.
5. CARMEN TURNED 1!!!!!!!
