HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This is Foofa:





















That's what Aubree dressed up as this year.





















She helped give out candy again this year, but next year-- it's on!

Dear Abby,

Thanks for being a huge inspiration. You are quite possibly the strongest person I "know". Thanks for bringing to light how petty all my problems are. I hope the rest of your life is filled with more blessings than you can handle!

Sincerely,
Brooke Crismond

Make cupcakes, not war

Wordless Wednesday

5 random things...

1.) Never buy Palmolive dishwasher detergent. IT SUCKS! It leaves such a horrible film you can barely get it of by hand!
2.) Derek is (almost) a Staff Sergeant! He sews on around Jan. Here's a pic from his recent ALS graduation:





















3.) We're moving to California on November 9th (20 days)!
4.) Moo Moo & Pop (Derek's parents) are coming out for Christmas :)
5.) Turbo Jam is a really fun way to workout!

Cupcakes + Halloween =

Isn't this the cutest? Maybe when Aubree's older I will try to make this for her. If you are interested, the instructions are here.

I tried it!

Remember that cool icing technique? Well, I finally got around to it!
