Every year, Joshua's school has a pumpkin carving contest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And every year we turn our pumpkin in on the first day and by judging day.. its moldy and falling apart. So, this year, we were out to find something simple that makes a big impact. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And my mom found it on the Internet.. it was perfect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are the supplies... do you know what it is yet?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hint: Cookies, Big Eyes, and blue paint!</div>

Joshua received a card in the mail today. He is always excited to get mail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC_0035copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC_0035copy.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a Halloween card from Granna and Papa wishing him a Happy Halloween. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC_0040copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC_0040copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And this was right before his meltdown... he didn't want anyone touching his card....<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC_0045copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC_0045copy.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And in response... he wrote Granna a letter of Gibberish and asked me to address it. He ran out to the mail box and put it in there... with no stamp. Guess the magical fairies will be delivering it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(his daddy took it to Granna, so she did get her letter... aka.. the fairies live on..)</div>

It's that time of the year again... I love the colors and I love the cool weather..... Texas of course.. has neither. Our grass is brown and dying from lack of rain. Our weather is hot enough to eat sno-cones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However.. we still carry on and pretend its fall the best we can, and that means a trip to the pumpkin patch. This is Joshua's favorite place to go because he loves to ride the train.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We played games. We took pictures. We picked out a pumpkin for each of his classmates and of course a few for the house. We rode the train.. like 5 times. And last, but not least, we ate sno-cones because we worked up a sweat in the 80 degree weather we had that day. (Ok.. maybe 78 degrees because there was a nice breeze.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Despite the weather, this is our favorite place to kick off the fall season. </div>

This month we are late on everything. <br />
<br />
October starts the beginning of parties, field trips, football and family traditions. <br />
<br />
Throw in a trip to Del Rio and one to Louisiana... and we are getting ready for our Disney cruise... So, I am surprised I have time to do anything! I did finally get our decorations up.... halfway through the month, but that is how we roll around here... <br />
<br />
I didn't put up as much as last year, because well.. lets face it.. not much longer and I will be taking them back down. <br />
<br />
I am seriously thinking I should start on decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving is even here... or is that too weird?<br />
<br />
Anyways... here is the inside of our house this year... <br />

One of our most favorite things to do as a family is spend time out on Bauer Ranch. So, after a family reunion in Louisiana, we relaxed... Joshua practiced shooting his BB Gun... and he explored as little boys do. He was excited to see that the orange trees had sprung lots of oranges and begged his Granna and Papa to pick some. So, Granna found a basket and we picked ourselves some Satsuma oranges. </div>

He didn't really understand the whole twist until they fall off method, so he just grabbed an orange and pulled until it broke off... resulting in some "broken oranges" as he calls them. He tried throwing them on the ground until I explain that he just took some of the skin off and that they were still good oranges. <br />
<br />
And they were... very sweet and yummy oranges. We came home with a whole bag full. <br />

As Joshua was picking oranges I walked around Mom and Dad's house and took in some very beautiful scenery. <br />
<br />
Can I just say again.. I love this place!!<br />
<br />
Growing up I couldn't wait to move away... I wanted the city life so much. Now that I am older and have lived in many cities.. I miss the peace and quietness of the country life and everything it has to offer. Most of all... I hate the fact that Joshua doesn't know what its like to have so much land. To run and play so freely with no one yelling at you to stay on the sidewalk.. or get away from the street because the crazy people in our neighborhood only have one speed.. FAST.<br />
<br />
Yes, I miss that life. I envy that life. I want that life for Joshua. <br />
<br />
One day we will have it again though.. maybe not today, tomorrow or a few years from now, but that farm runs through my veins just as much as it does my father and I can't wait to live on the land I grew up on.. he grew up on... <br />

And last but not least... Pecan trees... ugggghhhh.. I could go forever without seeing another Pecan in my life! But my Dad? He loves them. So the boys picked up as many Pecans as they could find. <br />
<br />
I think we are having a pecan cracking party soon... sounds fun huh?<br />
<br />
Yes, I know.. I make fun of this now... but I am my father's daughter and one day I too will appreciate these trees as much as he does. I will just have to hire someone to come crack the pecans because that really is not my idea of a fun party. <br />

You get to see and visit family that you haven't seen in years... and even meet new family members for the very first time. <br />
<br />
This is exactly what we were able to do this weekend. <br />
<br />
Family is very important to me, so when my mom received the invitation to the Fabre/Romero family reunion in Louisiana.. she knew we all had to go. <br />
<br />
So we packed up and headed east to the state of bayou's, boudin, alligators, gumbo, and some crazy Saint's football fans. <br />
<br />
The weekend was great, we had so much fun and I honestly thing my face hurt from laughing and smiling so much. I remember my cousins... but I didn't realize how much I missed all of them. It has been probably 5+ years since I had seen most of them. I miss them.. and hope we get together again soon. <br />
<br />
Here are tons of pictures from the weekend. <br />

<br />
However... we are only busting it out now so that he can use it. <br />
<br />
Because John works long shifts offshore and gets to miss out on a lot of Joshua's 1st events..we thought we would save this until John could be home with him. <br />
<br />
So here he is.... the first time he ever shot his BB Gun..<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC_0633copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC_0633copy.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
He has a target for practice, but was upset when he couldn't hit it. So, he asked his Dad if he could just shoot in the field.<br />
<br />
All was going well.. until he started pointing the BB Gun at me.. and his dad.. and his Granna. <br />
<br />
He couldn't remember that you have to keep the gun pointing towards the ground at all times. I think he was just too excited. <br />
<br />
So we unloaded the gun... and he can just practice walking around the ranch with it for now. <br />
<br />

I don't have much time, but I wanted to give a sneak peak of something I have been working on..... <br />
<br />
Gilda is a good friend of mine and former coworker. Her and her husband have been together since the beginning of time... (ok.. high school).. but still... they are the sweetest and cutest couple. <br />
<br />
And beautiful.. I took over 1400 pictures of these proud parents to be.. here are a few I have worked on so far... <br />

Our second mini vacation to Del Rio was short, but a very beautiful trip. Beautiful you ask? Yes.. beautiful because the Monarch butterflies were migrating and this means there were hundreds... everywhere. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kids loved being outside around them. They loved looking at them, and really loved trying to catch them. It was a trip with beauty to remember. </div>

They hung in clusters of 50 or more all over the trees..... <br />

<br />
<br />
Vivien and Joshua spent a whole morning trying to catch as many as they could. It was so funny to see them running around with that net. They would swing in the air.. trying so hard to catch a butterfly. <br />
<br />
Finally.. when they gave up.. one just flew up on the net and sat there. They were both so excited. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
After 20 minutes of it just hanging around... they got pretty bored with it, and didn't understand why it wouldn't fly off. <br />
<br />

Joshua decided he wanted to try the swimming pool... in October. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was cold.. but he had a blast jumping off the ledge and swimming around. (The pool is heated.. but still too cold for me.. I am chicken.)</div>

In fact, last year around this time, we were getting prepared for her to have her surgery to remove the cancer. It seems so long ago... because she has come far.. but she is a fighter!! A serious fighter!<br />
<br />
Not once did she complain. She rarely asked for help because she was determined to do everything herself. <br />
<br />
What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger right? And she is a fighter!<br />
<br />
Today I googled "Breast Cancer Quotes," and I wanted to share my top 10 images that popped up. <br />

Only two stops on the way here.. And no one has gotten sick... So far.. So good. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We stopped at Bucee's, which is like the mother store of all convenience stores. It has the best restrooms (which we all know is very important when traveling). And of course there are a million toys and shirts and home decor. Joshua loaded up and suckered his grandparents into buying him an assortment of horses, a cat named spooky.. Or sleepy.. Or whatever his name is for this hour. (seriously I can't keep up.).. And he got a longhorn necklace. Spoiled much? Or really loved? Either way Granna and Papa are suckers for a little boy with big brown eyes. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Our second stop was at Sammy's restaurant. It's a little hole in the wall home cooking place that we try to stop at every chance we get. The best part?? The coloring pictures they have for little kids... Joshua always tries to sneak 3-4 pictures to color before we leave. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We are at our destination now.. Enjoying family and having fun!! <br />

I am caught up!<br />
<br />
I know I just bombarded everyone with like 10 posts in the last two days, but things have been moving fast around here. <br />
<br />
John was home for almost 2 weeks and of course when he is home we soak up every bit of him we can because when he leaves again, we never know for how long or when we will get to see him again. <br />
<br />
So blogging gets backed up... pictures get backed up.. in fact.. I fall behind with everything. <br />
<br />
But family is more important... always. <br />
<br />
<br />
When John finally did have to go back to work, my first order of business was go get our playroom in order. It has been driving me insane... we needed a rug.. and some sort of art center because I am finding crayons and markers everywhere.<br />
<br />
So, my organization kicked itself into full force and I drove to Ikea to try to solve my problem The playroom is now mostly finished. I would like a few more art pieces on the wall, but those may have to wait a tad bit longer, because I want the perfect pieces. <br />
<br />
And just so you know.. this is only like 1/3 of Joshua's toys.. the rest are in his room.. and in a hidden toy box in the living room. Spoiled much? nahhhh... he just get two rooms in our house.<br />
<br />

And since the redo of the playroom, our house has become the hang out of the hood. All the kids want to come here, so my afternoons are filled entertaining kids with Popsicles, juice boxes and cookies. Lately though, I have been trying to suggest outings because the weather has been so nice. I was finally able to get Joshua and his friend Katelyn outside to ride bikes. </div>

<br />
<br />
Then, before I knew it.. it was October 1st!! Seriously? Where has this year gone?<br />
<br />
This week I went and dug in our shed and pulled out all the Orange and Black boxes I could find.. I was ready to decorate!<br />
<br />
I have all the inside stuff up, but want to mow the yard before we put up anything outside. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
And then I tortured Garfield and tried on his costume from the last two years.... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC03411_zps6a16928a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC03411_zps6a16928a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
He is looking down because I had just button the top of the suit.... and it was tight... too tight... and he was like.. "Mama.. I can't breathe!"<br />
<br />
So, he will need a new suit this year. Joshua is going to be a ninja turtle and wants Garfield to be one too... this should be very interesting.. <br />
<br />
<br />
Mixed into all that.. My sister in law and I had a Paparazzi Jewelry party... I got a new photo editing program and a ton of Florabella actions for the program... and don't even get me started on all the TV going on now.... my DVR is on overload from all the fall premiers. And then to top it off.. I got really interested in Game of Thrones and DVR'd the first two seasons.. and then proceeded to do nothing but watch them for 3 days straight. ..... And Football.... We love Football!!! <br />
<br />
So yes.. I haven't been great and keeping everyone up to date, but I am only human and life happens. I am back for now... but have some vacations scheduled in the near future.. so if I go on hiatus again.. don't worry... I am probably somewhere near a pool with a tropical drink in my hand. <br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Wednesday!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Joshua was so excited to go, but when we got there we realized there was a new person in charge and she was terrible. She had NOTHING organized. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So we waited for 45 minutes to get our supplies.. do you know what it is like waiting 45 minutes with an 4 year old?</div>

<br />
<br />
It was a really cute project though and I am so glad we decided to tough it out and finish it up because he has been playing with this truck non stop since he made it. <br />

So, at night, he gets only 30 minutes before he goes to bed. <br />
<br />
He has been fighting me tooth and nail every night. <br />
<br />
I always have the same answers.. read a book.. or count sheep. <br />
<br />
Tonight he was quiet... really quiet... <br />
<br />
So I went into his room to look and discovered this.... <br />
<br />

He doesn't hardly sleep at all... and NEVER does he fall asleep anywhere but in his bed. <br />
<br />
Not tonight.. we found him like this... <br />
<br />

<br />
Must of had a busy day for little man. <br />

So, I got my cooler out, packed sandwiches, chips and fruit... and we took off. Joshua had so much fun and it was a very nice day. <br />
<br />
A very windy day... but the wind kept it cooler than normal. <br />
<br />
Joshua's favorite thing to do? Swing in these awesome swings!! <br />

Then he pretended as if he conquered the world.. and of course in our eyes.. he does every day. He conquers our hearts and doesn't even know it. This little boy is our world. <br />

<br />
Then off to the splash pad area. I love that this park has everything you could ever want. Playgrounds for all ages.. a dinosaur dig.. picnic tables... catch and release fishing.. a skate park.... baseball fields.. seriously.... you name it.. they probably have it. We haven't really explored all of the park.. only the parts that look fun for our little one. <br />

His daddy doesn't care if he cheats or not... so its better if they play without me. I am too competitive. I don't like to let him do his own thing... I want him to play right... and not cheat.</div>

John is finally hope and we are soaking up every minute of it!! Tonight was no exception. I was in the office looking at some bills when I heard Joshua beg his daddy to read him a bedtime story. </div>

Still.. it is so nice to have John home. Just hearing his voice makes everything seem right. It makes it feel more like.. home. <br />

<br />
Joshua made frames this year for both sets of grandparents and inside the frames are pictures of Joshua with that set of grandparents. <br />
<br />
We mailed off Meema and Tetaw's because they live 4+ hours away. <br />
<br />
However, he was able to give Granna and Papa their gift that night, and boy was he so proud of it. He was excited to watch Granna open the frame. <br />

After this, we treated Granna and Papa to a night out at Texas Roadhouse. <br />
<br />
Joshua has the best grandparents ever and I hope they all know how much we love and appreciate everything they do!<br />

<br />
These past few days have been filled with a whole lot of homework and a whole lot of craftiness. <br />
<br />
First off, I cannot believe the amount of homework a preschooler has. He has a homework calendar with a writing assignment that he has to complete each night... on TOP of that, he also gets sent home with a homework folder that has a 10 page packet he must complete for the week. <br />
<br />
Not that I am complaining... but that is a lot for a preschooler. <br />
<br />
It takes up about a hour of his time every night, which is totally fine with me. That is one hour less of making excuses as to why he cannot camp out in front of the TV. That is one hour less that I have to play Batman. (I always get stuck being the bad guys.)<br />
<br />
Plus, I like seeing him learn. I like watching him try to figure out how to write letters or watch as he circles the things that begin with the letter "M". It makes me proud. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC03094copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC03094copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Our first crafty project over the past few days we to revamp some old canvas I had laying around. They had painted pictures on them that I created when I was in junior high. I was no Picasso... so I painted them white and gave them a blank slate. <br />
<br />
The play room is bright and full of primary colors, so we decided to keep the theme going and just do some stripes. I let Joshua paint because I wanted them to be fun and "kid'ish" looking. I think he did a great job. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC03086copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/jaymexoxo/2012/DSC03086copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I also had a smaller canvas that I just let Joshua go wild with. He says its a tree with lots of colorful swings and a snake. You see that? Me either. But I just roll with it and touched up the edges to make them look bright and colorful and not brown looking. <br />
<br />

Today, we worked on our Grandparent's Day gift. Did you know Grandparents Day is this weekend? Yea that little holiday snook up on me. <br />
<br />
We are prepared though… here is a sneak peak… <br />

Last but certainly not least… this is not very crafty so much as a necessity, but here is my little helper trying to get a piece of laundry action. I hope he wants to help this much when he gets older. I don’t mind doing laundry… I don’t mind even folding laundry… I really dislike putting laundry away. Yep, that’s the worst thing about it. <br />
