Halloween Crafts

I can't belive it's October already! I went to pull out my Halloween decorations and realized I don't really have any. Well we did have a couple dish towels and a door mat but that was it so I started making some halloween crafts. I also found out how crafty Preston can be! With a jig saw and some careful drilling he made me some spooky trees and I painted them! They turned out really cute! Anyway it was really fun making crafts and now I can't wait til christmas time so I can make lots more!!

This is the outside of our house!! Just kidding.. This is our neighbors!

They really like Halloween!!

This is our front door. I cut the bats out with my friend Nicole!

Here are the trees we made not lit up

Here they are lit up! Cute huh!!

Here are some ghosts Nicole and I made together one afternoon.. and tonka pretending he's a ghost too.

And this is our centerpiece. It's kind of a dark picture but this was the best looking one!

Tonka!! He is so big now!

Funny Story

So the other day at work, one of my regular clients came in for his haircut. I have cut this guys hair every other week for a year now so I know his hair pretty well! As I was shampooing him, something just seemed different. I couldn't put my finger on what it was so I just let it go. As we went back to my chair and I started cutting his hair he gets really excited and tells me that he and his wife went up to his parents house for the weekend and as he was taking a shower there he noticed that his mom had this stuff in her shower he had never used before. So he decided to use it and he loved it. THEN.. he looks me square in the face and says.. "have you ever heard of conditioner before??" hahahaha.. why yes i have! Turns out he has never once heard of or used conditioner before in his life and just started using it. He tells his wife about this and asks if they can get some at home and she informs him that she has always had some in the shower! (I do her hair as well and we got a real good laugh out of this a couple days later when she came in!!) Then I realized that was what i noticed at the shampoo bowl!! His hair was quite a bit softer and his cowlick in the front of his hair line was laying better than I have ever been able to make it lay in a whole year. I educated him some more on what conditioner does for the hair and now I think he is hooked for life! It really was a whole lot funnier in the moment, but it was the highlight of my week!

MEXICO!!

2 weeks ago we went on our summer vacation to Cancun Mexico! It was such a blast. We just layed on the beach most of the time, played in the crystal clear water, went snorkeling a couple times, on a couple boat rides, went to a couple flee markets and ate lots of food! We cant wait to go back sometime!

US.. first day there

Relaxing and reading a book!

The water was so clear that Preston could get pictures of his little friends

This is one cool dude!

on our last day there.. we were sad to leave!

So Preston and I were watching TV yesterday and saw this commercial! I have to admit I thought it was pretty sweet and bought it! So if anyone needs to make some easy brownies, Im your girl! :)

p.s. Check out my new baby!!

That's right.. I got a brand new bike!! On friday we went to a bike store in the mall I work at and got an amazing deal on this sweet thing! We went for our first ride today. She's pretty huh!

Oh and the other day we made meatball sandwhiches and Preston insisted that I put this picture up. He loves meatball sandwhiches!!

update

I can't believe how long it has been since our last post! Here is an update on our summer! On top of Preston still going to school and me working, we manage to squeeze in fun things here and there. Preston has learned how to wakeboard this summer and really loves doing it! He has also been training for the Air Force Marathon which is in September and that has kept him pretty busy as well. A couple weeks ago my parents came out for a quick visit. They were only here for 2 days but it was so much fun to see them and to show them all the cool things here in Ohio! We went to the Air Force Museum, I got to show them where I work, and we went to the New Port Aquarium in Cincinnati. It was a lot of fun! We miss them. Right after they left, Extreme Home Makeover was in town working on a house just down the street from where we go to church. The salon and spa I work at was asked to go down and help out with the house and to give complimentary massages to the workers. It was an incredible experience! The episode will be airing in October sometime. I will let you know when it will be for sure if you want to watch it! The next weekend we went all the way to Seattle for my brothers wedding. It was so awesome being there and we were so thankful we were able to go. The plain rides were aweful but it was worth it in the end! We are so happy for Kelly and Sarah! In 3 weeks we will be heading to Mexico for some fun in the sun! It has been a really fun summer! I will try to update our blog before 3 months go by again! Hope you enjoy the pictures!
