Halloween

This little Pirate makes Halloween so much fun.

I love that she came up with the idea to be a pirate all on her own.

She wanted to be scary!

Couldn't be cuter!

Pizza Night

Daddy stayed home from school on Monday night, So we made it a family night. I love having my husband home in the evenings. I am in the count down 4-5 more months until he is home every night :)We made it a special occasion with our first attempt at home made pizza. Josie had so much fun helping.

It was a success.

We had lots of snuggles, popcorn and one of Josies new favorite movies Coraline. (Brandon doesnt care for the movie, I think its cute.. creepy.. but cute)

We will definately be making pizza again but next time we will split up the dough and make a few little ones so J can get creative.

I love my Babies!

Weekend Getaway

Much needed time away.

We went to Christopher Creek last weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather and fun with friends. It was perfect.

Really short but perfect.

My favorite little girl enjoying the swing

She was so excited to go to the "forest"

She especially loved throwing rocks into the creek

My Hot Husband, He loves taking pictures ;)

Cuter than Cute

Highlights were Lots & Lots of Junk food, Jake shooting a squirrel and "processing" it, Mario Party, and Josie getting stung by a bee :(

DBacks Game

My Dad took Jake, Brooklyn and I to the Dbacks game and hard Rock Cafe a little while back.

We all had a really good time.

A lot of Laughs.

I feel really Lucky to have such a big family.

I missed Blogging about both of our birthdays (brandon & I).

Brandon turned 24 on the 4th of August and I turned 23 on the 13th.

We celebrated Brandons birthday with a date to Red Lobster and mine at The Melting Pot.

It was our first time going to The Melting Pot so it was fun going somewhere new.

Josie and Her Friends

Miss Sassy Pants has lots of friends.

Here are some of her favorites

She loves her elmo and marie so much.

and also the magnadoodle.

I love watching and listening to her play she has such a cute imagination.

I recently got her a little tea set and she is OBSESSED with having parties, I need to post some pics.

Take me to the Beach

I am a Blog slacker.

Here is my attempt to catch back up..

The last week in July we went to Mission Beach with my Family, Mike and Bre.

We had so much fun, I really can't wait to go back.

The beach was freezing we wore our sweaters the whole time, but still somehow managed to fried.

Some fun pictures.

I have to wrestle with J in order to get a pic with her and this is how they turn out.

Finding sand crabs and building sand castles was the highlight for Josie.

The Newest Addition

Gage Diesel Hawley

8lbs 7 oz

July 6th, 2010

and sooooo precious.

This picture just melts me..

I am a big sister for the 6th time!

This was an extra special experience for me, I was lucky enough to see this little one being born. It was one of the neatest things ever.

My Mom, Evan and Gage

Ryan and the Baby

We didn't think that Josie would be too interested in the baby, but we were definately wrong.

She wanted to hold him, was soo sweet and gentle and very concerned everytime he would make a noise or cry. She will be a great big sister one day.

I'm so happy to have this little guy join our family!
