Halloween and Then Some!

We didn't have a very good Halloween night this year :(

I got a call from Luke's school around 2 saying he was running fever. I went to get him and he was not feeling good. He tried really hard to have a little bit of fun but stayed on the couch for the most part. It was heartbreaking.

We did get our pumpkins carved the night before. Brent and Lucas did a great job with those!

In better news.... We got a new car!! It's a 2010 Hemi Challenger! I am in love and having SO much fun driving it! It is so nice and I LOVE the inside!

Luke and I will have a blast the next few months driving this to school and work! And it will be fun for day trips and date nights :)

 The only thing I really want to change on it is the wheels. I want them back the original silver-y color. Other than that she is perfect to me! Of course Brent has a few things he wants to add to it! ha!

I am feeling very spoiled to have such a fun cool car to drive! It is quite different than my Tahoe (which I still adore) but I love it! It has taken Brent many years but I think he may be slowly turning me into a car girl ;)

This weekend we spent the whole weekend at the track! It was a fun time with family and friends! Really good weather on Sunday too!

It was a different kind (bracket) of racing this weekend so Brent didn't get to go to many rounds but we all had fun and made a little getaway weekend out of it!

 I turned 18 weeks on Friday and had to get a picture in the huge mirror in the hotel room :)

Today it's back to work and school and that is not as fun but hey I did get to drive a Challenger to work! hehe

Life is good!

Thursday Tidbits!

• Happy Halloween!! Love this day! Can't wait to eat some pizza and go trick or treating later!

• We had a fun weekend, didn't get to do as much as we planned because Brent had to work part of it but we did get Luke's robot costume finished! It turned out perfect! Brent did such a good job!

• Sunday evening we had Trunk or Treat at Luke's school! He had a blast playing games, collecting treats, and bouncing in the bounce around.

• I found a plain orange shirt to wear so I can be a 'pumpkin' this year! ha!

• Lucas and Cooper Sunday morning. Lucas insisted I take their picture but wouldn't stay still!

• Lucas before school on Monday! He was being so silly but I just loved his outfit so I had to get a quick picture :)

• Have y'all seen this movie!? Oh my word! It has to be one of my favorites! I saw it when it first came out and loved it but a friend was talking about it the other day so I got online and ordered it right then! I watched it again last night and I was crying I was laughing so hard in some of the scenes! Hilarious!! I see so much of my own marriage in this movie (not sure if that is good or bad ha!) and the story line is just so real! So refreshing! It does have some bad language so not for the kiddies at all!  

•  I picked up the new Monsters Inc. movie for Luke yesterday!! He was happy! Perfect for Halloween this week :)

• My poor husband, I only want to make like 3 meals right now. I have no idea why I just can't think of anything else and don't have the energy to even care, I know that's so bad. I want to make chili and fajitas constantly. It's so weird! The other night it was fajitas. ha!

•  Friday after work I broke down and had a Sonic coke. I couldn't resist. I want coke, sweet tea, and coffee all the time! And while I know you can have up to 200 mg I am trying my hardest to stay away from it for the most part but some days are better than others. For the record I did not have this problem with Luke!

• Only 19 days until we know what baby Roper #2 is!! Yay! Praying for everything to be ok on the anatomy scan and excited to see weather it's a boy or girl :)  

Have a great Halloween!

It's FRIDAY!!

It has been a hard week y'all! I guess every week back after vacation is. We have also had had some fun stuff but I am ready for the weekend!

First off my truck has been in the shop all week with no signs of her coming home, to say I am heartbroken is a little dramatic but it's pretty much how I feel. I have been driving Brent's tank of a truck that he uses to pull his racecar trailer and by tank I mean TANK. The poor Sonic lady had to nearly throw me my corn dog the other day. I gave her a good tip because I felt so bad and that was my last trip to Sonic this week so maybe me driving "big white" isn't SO bad. But I am still ready to get my Tahoe home I miss the heated seats and my satellite radio. Ok I'll stop! ha!

I added a few more fall pretties around the house. I need more pumpkins, gotta do that this weekend for sure!

I ordered these mums from a preschool fundraiser and my word they are HUGE! I had no idea how big they would be but they are so pretty!

Picked up Lucas a new big brother shirt! I was going to use this as the big "revel" but I liked our beach picture better so he will wear this to the big ultrasound day and at the hospital and any other baby related thingy. He was very excited that it had his name on it but was a little disappointed that I didn't put his last name as well. He is so funny!

Lucas and I broke out the Halloween decorations! We've been watching Halloween movies for a few weeks now but finally put up some fun stuff! He had so much fun putting spiders around and then he drew the spider to put on the fridge :) 

These two have become inseparable! Oh my word. Lucas is all about daddy when he is around which has really worked out well for me. ha! Brent was out of town last night for the first time since we've been back and I was kinda worried how Luke would take it but he really did good. Just fell right back into our normal routine.

And this has been stuck to me since we've been home! He is the sweetest dog but such a mess at the same time!

I did get to watch some shows this week that I was excited about. Teen mom (hate me) and Brent and I have been long awaiting the new American Horror story. I even squeezed in an episode of Catfish!


Got a few boot days in this week! It was perfect coming home from the beach and being able to wear boots the next day!

Ordered the first big baby purchase! Was hoping it would make it more real but it still isn't..... This will go perfect in our bedroom and will be cute for either gender. (only 39 days to go!!!) I love the smaller size and how simple it is.

Tonight we are going to eat dinner with my parents (that feels weird to say lol) at Marketplace! I have been wanting to eat there all week! I already know what I'm having chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans! Eeeek can't wait!

Have a great weekend!!

Halloween 2012

*Halloween Party post will be up sometime next week :)

I've said it so many times but it is so true we had the BEST time on Halloween this year, I'm not sure if I was just really in the moment with all the recent happenings or if it's just Luke's age but it was so much fun!

Luke had a little Halloween party at school, they got to wear their costumes and have a parade around the school. All the kids were very cute!

On our way home we stopped at Sonic for our .50 corndogs! Yum Yum

Our neighborhood goes all out for Halloween its so much fun, I feel very blessed to live in a community like this and I know Luke will have the best time with friends growing up trick or treating here.

Once we got ready we went to our favorite neighbors house, they had a fire out front and lots of chairs roasting hot dogs. We got our picture on the swing, I'm SO glad we did it's the only picture of all three of us.

We went down our street and the street behind us to hit up the cotton candy stand.

Lots of people already out!

Waiting on our cotton candy!

Lucas loved it this year and ate almost the whole thing!

We went to a few more houses before heading home, Luke had half a bucket of candy and that was plenty ;)

A fun little fact, the pumpkin bucket was my old bucket I used it trick or treating every year, it even has my name on the bottom in my little handwriting. I think that is so neat ha!

He was so excited to hand out candy, he would say "we got more visitors" it was so cute!

He would make sure they liked what he was giving them.

"Do you like strawberry"

He was talking to everyone and so polite and told them all "your welcome" when they said Thank you.

He handed out candy 2 hours straight!

Lucas is such a blessing to us. I am finally able to grasp what a precious gift he is and to really appreciate him. I pray that everyone can see their babies as I see mine and even though it took a lot of heartache to get to this point I am thankful for everything. Everyday I am learning to be a better mommy for him and for that I am grateful.

Lucas is so smart and so funny. He has such a witty personality that I just admire I hope nothing ever steals that away from him. His teacher told me just this week that he is a blessing to her and she is really enjoying having him in her class this year. I walked away with tears because I am so proud to be his mom.

I hope you and yours had a great Halloween!

Now on to Thanksgiving and Christmas! Wheeeeee

Tidbits for Thursday!

• We had the best time with Lucas last night on Halloween! He is so much fun right now it just amazes me. We went and trick or treated some of our neighbors before dark but spent most of the night handing out candy. Lucas had so much fun talking to all the kids and seeing the costumes. I'll have a full Halloween post up tomorrow I hope....

• Brent was offered a job last week. It would mean we would have to relocate to Arizona, it's something he has always considered doing but after much thought we think we have decided against going. There's many reasons for our decision but the biggest is he would be on the road more than he would be home and that's just not what we want right now. It was hard to turn it down but I am still so proud of him for getting that chance and I have a feeling this won't be his last :)

• Wearing another Pintrest inspired outfit today! Yay! I can't believe how good I have been with following through on my pins lately. Ha! This is just a simple black tunic and black leggings with grey boots but the scarf makes it! I learned how to turn a regular ol scarf into an infinity scarf! So much fun!

• Another thing I straightened my hair today to see just how long it really is, O my word! I have officially got it back to where it was when I cut it all off after I had Luke, I am a happy girl! Love love long hair.

• It was pajama day at school, and he cracks me up!!

• I can't believe it is Nov 1st! I am so ready for a new month and for all the Christmas festivities to begin! I've convinced Brent to let me put the tree up early so I'm gonna do that the next weekend! I got Luke an elf on the shelf and "Santa" will drop him off soon, but I'm going to go ahead and give him the elf on the shelf movie today so he can know the 'rules' of the elf :)

• I am having a much needed girls night out with my bff tonight! Can.Not.Wait!!

• We are going to the racetrack this weekend if it doesn't rain, they will do a costume contest and Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday it's always lots of fun!
