Sweet Addiction

Love this stuff. I call it my SWEET ADDICTION. I may or may not have already eaten half the carton in 2 days. Yikes. My mom knows me too well, I come to stay at her house so she stocks her freezer with some of this just for me. Thank you Mom for helping me to lose the baby weight. :) Well I've lost it already but this sure won't help me keep it away. Oh well it's addicting what can I say.

bears and fall

 

Isn't he just the cutest lil' bear you've ever seen?

Our Family Halloween party last Friday.

Some of the kids all dressed up.Fun party full of food, fun, games, sweets, and sweet costumes

 Last Saturday, Keith's sister Catherine  came up from Rexburg for a visit. Like usual we went to the Farmers Market downtown, then had lunch at Ann Morrison Park. O my goodness the fall weather in Boise is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It was such a nice day! Later that day was followed by some shopping at Platos and relaxing. I love days like this where you can just enjoy the fall weather and relax w/the fam. Sunday, Keith and I went on a drive to Kathryn Albertsons Park. We took a nice walk around the beautiful park. I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Kathryn Albertsons is one of the most popular places to have family/wedding/engagements etc. pictures taken. There were probably a bazillion people there taking pics. It was nice to just have the three of us taking a walk and enjoying the fall beauty. I came up w/some of my favorite things about fall.

New Love

Keith and I found our new FAVORITE RESTAURANT! Seriously why have we not been here before? Went to Tucanos today for lunch and fell IN LOVE! Thanks SIL CATHERINE for the wonderful birthday treat! We will definitely be going back esp since it's literally two minutes from our apartment!

(No this is not us)

oh for the love of endless meat....

Some New Favorites

I recently purchased some new products to try out that were recommended from a make up blog that I follow. I'm always skeptical to purchase something new that I've never tried before in fear that it won't work or I won't like the results and I've wasted my money. I loved every one of these products and will definitely be buying them again. Different things like skincare seem to work different for everyone so I guess you just have to try and see what works for you...but here are some of my new favorite products!
P.S. And the best part is all of them are under $10 (except the foundation)

I have been looking for a new foundation because I didn't feel like my old one was cutting it. So thank goodness for Sephora letting you get samples of makeup to take home and try to make sure you like it before you buy it. I tried this one and LOVED it. It's been the best foundation I've ever had. Worth $34??---YES!

I love love love this cleanser! You can use it as a daily cleanser, exfoliating scrub, or purifiying mask. I use it every night and it makes my face feel so clean and smooth. And it smells yummy.

Since my hair is natually curly it tends to frizz easier, I use this baby after I wash my hair to help maintain smoother and more sleek hair.

Good moisturizer is not cheap. I like this one because it's not super expensive but it still does a good job and it feels light and not sticky or oily.

Discovered this lil' gem while shopping at Rue 21 with my sis. Perfume is not cheap unless you want a sample size, but this one smells so good and is only $10. I love a good deal.

I'm still looking for a hairspray with good hold but that isn't stiff. Is that possible? Let me know if you know of some!

Not Fun

You know what's not fun???

Getting the stomach flu.....yech yesterday was not fun. I think it was a 24 hour thing. I still feel kinda blah and have no appetite after not being able to keep anything down, but I think it's over for the most part. Keith was such a big help taking care of both Carson and I  and went to work this morning after little sleep, he really is amazing. Thanks babe.

But you know what is fun?? Or should I say exciting? Getting e-mails from your best friend in Paraguay every Monday. I look forward to every Monday morning and that e-mail from Hermana Misti Lewis. Miss her sooooo much.

You know what else is exciting? My hair is finally getting long again! I love it! I can't wait for it to be even longer! I miss my long hair, although it was more work than short hair I miss the length and the endless possibilities of things you can do with it. Misti and I used to straighten and curl each others hair cuz we didn't want to do our own and it was just easier to have someone to get the back for you.

My hair....this isn't even how long it is cuz it's curled here, when straight it's longer.

Ok ok one more exciting thing! Keith is being transferred to McCall for the week! I really wanna go still haven't decided yet though because we have our Lewis Halloween Party on Friday and I don't know if we will be back in time for it....but I haven't been to McCall in YEARS! I wish we were going in Jan. or Feb. whenever the McCall Winter Carnival is because I remember that being the bomb! It would be fun to go again, I think the last time I went was in like 5th grade with my best friend.

 Goofin' around....ignore the messy bed we just got back from a trip.

 Growing so fast....

precious bebe

TwEnTy FoUr

So yesterday I turned 24....I know I know I'm old right?!! Yikes I can't believe I'm 24! Still feels like I'm at least 20 or so haha. Saturday Keith took me out to breakfast and we brought our little man along. It was fun just the three of us. Then Keith went and did some shopping for a BBQ he put together with my family for my b-day. We had a lot of fun at the BBQ (although Keith claims he bought trick hamburger meat, I just think he made the pattys too thick lol) the weather was absolutely perfect! I was a little worried since it's October I thought it might be cold but it was really warm! After the BBQ we went back home and watched I am Number Four. Not a bad movie Keith really liked it. Yesterday (sunday) was my actual b-day, Keith got a little sick so it was kinda a bummer but we had fun anyway, went to church and came home Keith had cooked me steak/mashed potatoes/veggies for dinner. After that we had to head to Twin for his work so that is where we are now. I wanna thank my fam who cam to the BBQ it was so nice to spend my birthday in Boise for the first time in 6 years! Crazy to think the last b-day I celebrated w/my fam was when I was 18!  And this was the 5th b-day I've celebrated w/Keith. He really knows how to make me feel special and go all out. Shoot he gave me $100 to go and buy whatever I want for my b-day you better believe I'm gonna be shoppin' this week!  I already got a list! lol. I'm so lucky to have a husband who really takes care of me, appreciates me, and shows that he loves me all the time. He really is so thoughtful and for that I am so grateful. To many more birthdays with my love......

love him....
