Pumpkin carving and Pumpkin painting 2009

Logan had a blast painting his pumpkin... and himself!

These kinds of things take ALOT of concentration!

And quite a bit of enthusiasum!

We also carved our big pumpkin...

Andrew, Katy and Logan did all the work, I just took the pictures.

Wonder if it tasted as good as it looked?...

Yeah good thing he tried to eat it before he put his dirty feet on it!..

That is my FAVORITE expression that Logan makes!! I am so glad I got a picture of it!

Soooo since halloween is tommorow I figured I better put up our pumpkin carving and pumpkin painting pictures up! We had alot of fun doing them! Tommorow I have to dress up for work, so that is going to exciting! Its fun to step out of the norm every once in a while! Logan is going to be a skunk, he looks wayyy to cute in his costume! Pictures to come soon of all our halloween fun, Katy is having her annual halloween sleepover at the house so we will go trick or treating, eat lots of candy, and have tons of fun!! Hope everyone else has a wonderful halloween as well!!

Happy Birthday Drew!!

Sooooo.... ok I know I already have this picture up in my pumpkin patch post but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this picture!!!

But the real reason for this post is to say....

HAPPY 27TH BIRTHDAY ANDREW!!

I love you and you are an awesome dad and husband and hope your day is rockin!!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Soooo I took this past saturday off of work so we could go to the pumpkin patch! The day started out with HORRIBLE weather, rain, rain, rain, thunder, lightning, and then more rain! Everyone was doubting my decision but I stood by it and we went anyways, and it was a perfect day! (well close to it, Logan didn't take his nap till after the pumpkin patch so it made for a few rocky moments.) It only sprinkled like once or twice, and other than that was nice and warm, and not as crowded as it would have been if the weather would have been sunny!

Katy and Logan on our way to the pumpkin patch.

Logan taking charge and leading the way!

I love this picture of Drew and Logan, the pumpkins and christmas trees in the background, it really brings out the best of the season, I think.

Logan helped Katy and Grandpa Ron conquer the mountain of hay!

Thats the look of accomplishment!

Getting ready for our first family hayride!

I think these are two good lookin boys!

The quest begins... The search for the perfect pumpkin!

Maybe it's over there!

Drew was trying to show Logan how to do it, and I snuck a picture.... hehehe...

This was near the beginning of his "no nap meltdown" The evil eye came next.

But Grandpa Ron saved the day!

This was almost imediately after we got in the car.

All in all it was a good day. I love this part of fall, going and picking out your pumpkins and all the fun things for Logan to do! Well I hope fall is going great for all of you, and hope you have a great week!

Happy Anniversary!

If I could paint the world in brightest most beautiful colors, and give it to you, I would.

If I could tell you all the words you wanted to hear, and know exactly how to say them at the most perfect time, I would.

If I could take away all your worries and wash them all away with just one fell swoop so I could see your smile on your face, I would.

If I could wake up in your arms every five minutes and let you know that that's where I wanted to be, I would.

If I could act out every one of your fantasies with you, making them more than the best you could ever dream, I would.

If I could walk with you, and talk with you and always know exactly what you mean, I would.

And if I could make you close your eyes and see us together, forever, where pleasure was never a question, and lust was just a reflection of those moments where we'd look into each others eyes right before we'd connect, physically, mentally, and emotionally,

I would.

I wrote this for Andrew after we hadn't even been dating for a year, because I already knew that I loved him, and wanted to spend my life with him, through the great times, the good times and even the bad times, he is my glue, my love.

I may not always be the best at letting him know all this but I am the luckiest girl in the world to have him. And I may hate how he sees things as half empty, and I see things half full, but he never sees our relationship that way. He is always quick to forgive when I speak before I think, and I couldn't have asked for a better father for my little boy! ( that is one thing I hear the most from others about Drew, that he is just the best dad! and it is soo true!) Sooo Drew I want to thank you for the past 9 years and for the past 5 years of marriage, I love you very much! Happy Anniversary!

Just a little Logan fix...

Soooo... it has been a while, there is nothing really exciting going on, I have started school again taking 2 classes, sign laungage and math, Andrew got his GED... I am soo proud of him! I am excited for the pumpkin patch next week and thats about it. Sooo instead I will leave you will a few pictures of Logan my 20 month old son! (holy crow! crazy I know!)

This is the look you get when you tell Logan to smile for the camera, I think it is the cutest thing I have ever seen... you know just my opinion...

I hope everyone is enjoying fall so far, and has a wonderful weekend...

This is how I feel.

Sooo.. I know and understand that everyone has a time in their life where it just seems like nothing is working out or going their way, and I know that I am having a very long one of those times lately... It's not that I am not happy in general, it's more that I just feel completely and utterly overwhelmed with anything and everything right now. My problem is I just don't know what to do. I don't quite now how to make it better... My mind tells me "Well Emily if you get your house clean and organized, then you will have more time for working out and eating better will be easier, which in turn will give you more energy to keep up with Logan, and since you won't be obsessing over said house and weight, you will have more time to do the things you enjoy like going out and you won't feel so bad about coming home to do schoolwork, and scrapbooking (which you don't want to get out and just add to the mess) and having people over, and just think about how great it would feel to have all your paperwork organized so that all your bills got paid ontime instead of finding one the week after its due...." (Yes. This is what I am constantly thinking.) But it all comes right back to I can't get over the overwhelmingness (Is that even a word?) of my house. I just don't know where to start, and honestly I feel like it is effecting ever aspect of my life right now. I just don't know what to do. I think everything in life is easier said then done, and I swear I do try, I feel like a bad wife and mother most of the time because I am not great at house chores, or I have a harder time paying the bills, I want to be better, I feel like I can not live like this much longer, it's overwhelming. I am not one to talk about my feelings much and I don't really feel like I have that many people to even talk about them to, so I guess that is why I am writing them on here, I need to get them out. I know most people (like my husband, who is great because he does put up with me) if I told him this, which I have tried, would say "It's not hard just pick stuff up." Again, it's easier said then done, if it was that easy for me I think that it would have been done already. I've had this problem my entire life, and I am at the point that I just don't know what to do, who to turn to, so I guess I turn to you all. I guess I need some words of advice, or something.... And well if you have gotten this far, thank you for reading this... sometimes we all have to get our feelings out...
