Congratulations Amber and John!!

Our friend Amber gave birth to her first son on October 31st. He weighed 7lbs 12oz. They named him Jaxson!
Isn't he adorable?!
Jaxson with his favorite Aunt Sarah!!

Happy Birthday Logan!!

Logan turned 3 on Tuesday. I can't believe how quickly the time passes! He's getting so smart!
We went to Aunt Alyse, and Uncle Chucks to have cake!
Daddy had to help blow out the candles, because we just couldn't figure out how to blow straight. Too funny!
Then we got to go trick or treating!! Totally exciting! It was Logan's first time.
Super Logan (as he called himself) and Dylan the Vampire!!

Haunted Happenings

As you may have guessed, Ho and I had our 3rd annual Halloween party on the 28th. Yes, he picked out his own costume. I suggested some fake bullet wounds in addition, but he didn't go for it. Ha!
Girls Gone Wild!! Naughty Megan. What is it about Halloween that makes all the girls bring out their inner slut? Teehee! ;)
Here we have Dylan Dracula and Grandpa werewolf. Scary!
Strange things really do happen on Halloween. The old man actually did have a little Captain in him!!
Doctor Do No Good and Alice. (Dana and Sherri)
Kessler is having a scary good time!!
Pimps and Ho...Again.
Little Red Riding Hood, A Peacock, And Miss Censored Universe herself!

Our Fantastic Honeymoon!!

Brian and I spent two whole, wonderful weeks in Hawaii for our honeymoon. Our first week was spent on Maui, the second on Kauai.
Free Mai Tais at a luau!! Yummy!
Here is a gorgeous view of the Black Sands Beach. We stopped here on our Road to Hana adventure. The Road to Hana is 52 treacherous miles, consisting of 617 hairpin turns. It took us 3 hours and 40 minutes to get there. The rental cars advise you to turn around and go back the way you came once you get there, because the road becomes unstable if you continue on.
Here is Brian standing on the edge of a cliff that was made from lava.
Here I am at the same spot.
This is one of the many beautiful waterfalls along the Road to Hana. Simply breathtaking.
Cow!!!! So naturally, once we got to Hana, we decided to hell with the rental car company we weren't going to endure all those turns for another 3 hours and 40 minutes. I don't think this is what they meant by hazardous roads. Ha! Very amusing though.
I love this picture! I took it when we took a day trip over to the island of Lanai. We snorkeled and sat on the beach the whole day!
My beach bum husband
Our Maui Kayaking adventure. It was a lot of fun to jump off into the water and snorkel and then climb back in, in the middle of the ocean. No, we did not tip the kayak over. Yay!
I was in front, so my husband could paddle me around...haha.
The cool new camera I bought really did work under water!
On the left is our kayaking guide, Kaleo. He dove down and brought up many sea creatures. This is the octopus. We were amazed!
The Maui Princess Sunset Dinner Cruise. More free drinks for the newlyweds!!
Now we must be on Kauai. How can you tell? The chickens, duh. We've told you about them. They're all over the place!
Here I am standing between the ocean and the beautiful Marriott Resort we stayed at on Kauai. During all the flooding there this spring that spot was completely under water, even the fountains you see in the back!
Hubby loves a hammock!
The coolest way to see the entire island. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, it was amazing!
Don't we look cool!
We flew right over our hotel.
And right over the waterfall Brian went to on the dirt bike tour last year.
Brian became obsessed with sushi. I'm not kidding. We just had to have it nearly everyday!
We just had to rent a Harley while we were there. We drove it around the entire island.
We rode to the Waimea Canyon. The islands version of the Grand Canyon.
And we rode to our favorite spot to watch the sunset. A perfect way to end our last day.

We Did It!!

As most of you know, Brian and I were married on October 7th. We are very happy newlyweds just home from our two week honeymoon in Hawaii. Our wonderful photographer has set up a web page with all of the wedding photos. Which is great, it means I don't have to upload them all onto here.

under "find your event" type in "Sarah and Brian" and follow the directions. The images should be posted sometime today.

I will update again with honeymoon pics soon!

It's Getting Close!!

My lovely Matron of Honor, Megan, threw me the most beautiful Bridal Shower on Saturday. She thoughtfully planned an elegant Italian dinner, with various wine selections, and invited my friends to join the festivities. Thanks Megan, it really meant a lot to me, you did such a wonderful job!!

Here she is with her Martha Stewart Perfect Party Planner Mits!

She even brought mood and atmosphere!!


I got a lot of lovely gifts. Thank you ladies!!

Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom

Happy Birthday Dylan!!

Well the school year started back up a few weeks ago, and of course that means it's Dylan's birthday again. He turned nine this year, and because all of the trials and tribulations that we have been going through with him the past couple of years have ended, we decided he needed a great birthday party!

The jump house we rented for surprisingly cheap at True Value. The kids loved it and were very tired when we were done.

Dylan with the twins, Xav, and Logan. Getting tired, but not there yet!

They boys eating pizza, and our only little girl, Madison...don't worry she can hold her own!!

Kids love goodie bags!!
