My Mama

I got to spend the whole day on Saturday with MY MAMA! We started out our morning at the salon! I gave her a homemade gift certificate to get her hair cut for mothers day oh so long ago so we finally went to use it. Me, Elyse, and my mom all got our hair cut by the AMAZING Dawn! Then me and my mommy just hung out. It was so much fun! We ran some errands and walked around the green. It was so nice and relaxing. Later in the day we met up with Michael and my brother for his birthday dinner at The Cookhouse in New Milford. It was so yummy. We had a great day and these are a few pictures I took of my mommy throughout the day :)

Elyse, Mommy, and Dawn!

Flashing her baby blues :)

New Milford Connecticut

I went home for the weekend to visit the family and couldn't help but take some pictures while I was there. These are just a few I got in good old New Milford.

Happy Birthday Brother!

Happy birthday little brother of mine! Thats right today is my little brothers birthday! I cant believe he is turning 24 today!!! I was just 24 last year... crazy I tell you! Well this is a big birthday shout out to my little bro, I LOVE YOU BRANDON! I hope this is the most amazing birthday yet with many more to come! I love you bub, see you in the morning!

I cant wait... pumpkins pumpkins pumpkins

I cant wait to go pumpkin picking! Michael Shaun and I went last year and it was so much fun! This year we are bringing Alyssa with us and its going to be a blast and a half! Miss Alyssa Rose is coming to stay over next weekend and I cant wait! If she is good we are even going to let her pick out a pumpkin... IF SHES GOOD!!! I will let you know what happens :) Happy fall everyone!

Seriously... do I really need to tell you to VOTE!

HAPPY OCTOBER FIRST!

Another one of my "cute quirks" similar to the whole half birthday thing (although Michael doesn't call them that) is that I love the first of every month! I don't know why but ever since I was little my mom made sure to say HAPPY (insert month here) FIRST!!! As I grew up it became more of a fun competitive thing. We would both try to be the first to wish the other happy first of the month. It has since become a down right dirty competition! We have done things as crazy as...

- Setting our alarms for 12:01 so we can run into the others room and wake her up whispering... I WON hehehe!

- Leaving notes on each others alarm clocks saying Happy 1st... so its the first thing she sees when she wakes up!

- Changing our voice mail so it says " Just so you know you are not winning by calling me right now because guess what... Happy 1st"

We are two crazy girls! (Now everyone knows where I get it!) There have been numerous times where I will get a voice mail and all I can make out is... Happy... and then the laughter ensues... nothing but giggling. Then she will try to compose herself and tell me again but just cant even get the words out before she busts out laughing again! It is quite entertaining. I have made friends listen to the messages and they think we are crazy (which we are) but at least its a good crazy! Michael refuses to take part in the first of the month craziness but he does always get a cute little smirk on his face when he thinks I forgot and then at 11:50pm out of nowhere... HAPPY FIRST OF THE MONTH MICHAEL! (He secretly loves it)

Anyways... HAPPY OCTOBER FIRST EVERYONE! (and mom... in Internet world I totally won today!)
