November Birthdays

Sunday was our family get together for the month and we celebrate Abby and Mike's birthdays. Here are some random picutres from the night. (Yes, it is a collage once again but I have the hardest time deciding on what pictures to post...so I post them all.) We have Mike sharing the chair with Abby and some pictures of who was there. Both Abby and Mike got musical cards so they were having a little dual of having each other listen to the other's music. I only got a picture of the end of it, but it was pretty funny. Oh and Talmage wanted me to take a picture of him and then he puts his hand in front of his face but I blogged it anyways. It was fun to see everyone and just chill for a little while together. Happy Birthday Abby & Mike!

My weekend of fun...

Friday night I went to the movies with Sandie, Jenn and Stephanie. We went and saw The Duchess and I have to say that it was good but her life was a little different. The good thing was the company that I was with.

Then bright and early Saturday morning I was at Stephanie's salon getting to get my hair colored. I decided that it was time for a change...but I am NOT ready to cut my hair yet, so that left color. I went dark and I have to say I was really nervous to make the change but I LOVE it!!! What do you think?

Then I went to Disney on Ice with Candice and Abigail. They put on a great show and we had a fun night out. It kind of made me miss Disneyland and want to watch lots of Disney movies all at the same time.

Here are a few random pictures from the night...

During the intermission Candice went out to get a snack and came back with all this. I think the crown fits her. I also got a picture of Abigail waving goodbye to all the characters, it was really cute.

A group picture...

And the collage of our self-portraits...Candice helped Abigail take her first self-portrait, not bad for her first try.

I have to say that I had a great weekend. Thanks to all my girls for hanging out!

New addition to my Blog....

Yesterday I had a friend introduce me to a new music group and I am now a fan! They are a Finnish rock quintet, called Sunrise Avenue. With the discovery of this new group I decided it was time to add a little music to my blog, so that everyone can take a listen to Sunrise Avenue. Enjoy! (PS-Isn't the iPod, really cute?)

(Remember that the cute little iPod is free, so sometimes it takes a minute for it to load and play. :-))

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Halloween has not been my most favorite holiday but over the past couple of years I am gaining a greater appreciation for it and I have had some fun dressing up, too. Halloween this year was a lot of fun. At work we had a Halloween party, with a Costume, Salsa and Pumpkin carving contest. Then in the afternoon kids come and trick-or-treat. Since Mike works at Novell too, they brought the boys down and they stopped by for a visit.

We took the pumpkins from the contest and had them as decorations for our picture back drop. There were some cool looking pumpkins, the Frankenstein won the contest. This is a cute picture that Jodi got of the boys. (Higher up on the wall it does say, "Halloween Novell 2008")

When I got home from work I found a party going on at the house. We ended up having the whole family (expect for Ryan, we missed you!) out for a quick dinner in a pumpkin before everyone loaded up on sugar. I thought Amy looked so cute with her "pumpkin" belly.

Michelle and the kids patiently waiting for dinner.

Here are all the Harrison girls, Michelle, Jodi, Wendy, Alisa and Amy. I thought everyone looked SO good. Alisa made a great Cruella, Michelle looked cute in the hat and I loved Jodi's tights! (I already commented about Amy's cute belly.)

Seth was Curious George, which totally fits him. He is such a monkey and climbs on everything.

So, I did a collage of the grandchildren pictures (plus Amy :-)). Yes, I know they look the same but I couldn't decide which one to post.

Here we have Tanner and Talmage with a little attitude. I just had to post it.

All of the grandchildren walked over to Aunt Diane's to trick-or-treat before going their separate ways. I managed to get all of them in this picture.

As part of my costume I thought I needed some Henna. I bought this Henna kit from Good Earth and had a guy from my team put it on me. I think he did a fantastic job!

Doesn't this compass look awesome?

October Bdays & GNO

I am a little late with this post but, better late then never...right? Last Sunday we celebrated the family October Birthdays! For some reason we didn't get a picture of all the birthdays together. So here are a few random shots that I took of the night. It was fun to get together and hang out with the family for a little while. Happy Birthday Amy, Jason, Michelle and Aunt Diane!!!

Then on Tuesday we had a Girls Night Out. It had been a couple of months since we had one and it was nice to have all the girls together.We had a yummy food...of course. Then some of the girls worked on Christmas card designs with Amy our, Photo shop and design Queen. :-) (My blog always looks SO cute thanks to Amy!) They made some Christmas tags and we just talked of course. The women in my family are amazing and fun to talk to, so it was great to all be together. Here are the few random shots I took from the night.

Debra and I with a self-portrait...and this picture completes the whole group for the night. Thanks for coming everyone, can't wait for the next one!
