So to celebrate a large sum of Papa Murphy gift certificates won, the Hensons, Baughmans, Robinsons, and Browns got together to have a little pizza potluck. We all brought a Papa Murphy (and one Sir Pizza) and a bunch of little kids... the pizza provided something to eat, the kids provided entertainment.
Can I take a serious picture? No.... no....

Last Tailgate of 2010
Not a bad way to end tailgating season 2010... seventy degrees and sunny, nice breeze, Mexican food, friends, and family.... and Nerf guns. With a crock pot of taco soup, some taquitos, an enchilada casserole, and cookies to snack on, we sent the home football season out in style (yeah, there's another game Thanksgiving weekend - we'll ignore that). It's sad, with so many weekday games we barely got to have our Saturday tailgates, but we made the most of what we had.
Obligatory self-shot!

Game Night
This year instead of having our big Halloween Party like last year, we decided to downsize and only have a few friends over. So we called up the Baughman's and the Brown's and decided to have some Taco soup, Halloween cupcakes and game night. We had such a great time and maybe game night will become a once a month tradition.

Pumpkin Carving
Since we moved into our house, we have started the annual tradition of pumpkin carving. We waited a little later than usual this year, so the Wednesday before Halloween we loaded up and head over to Publix to pick out our pumpkins....who needs a pumpkin patch when you have Publix just right up the road?
Tyler getting ready to do his job of cutting the tops off
Yummy! Pumpkin insides...
Tyler and I have very different ways of cleaning out the pumpkins. I was taught you reach in with your hands a scrape. Tyler, on the other hand, uses a large spoon so he doesn't get his hand dirty while I'm over there with pumpkin guts up to my elbows....Our children will learn to do it my way, it's just more fun to get a little dirty.

Laughter, The Best Medicine
Alright, so if you actually read and keep up with this blog, then you already know it's no secret that Tyler and I have had fertility issues. Today I came across a blog that had these posted and I found it quite humorous. If you've never had fertility problems, you may not find these as funny, but after experiencing month after month of heartbreak, you have to find laughter any way you can. After all, laughter is the best medicine, right?

secretary. It’s like an episode of Cheers, just without the bar and unlimited
alcohol.

3.You get even more excited over positive ovulation tests because you actually get to see two
pink lines.
