October 2016 in Review Scorpio Season

Im SO excited :) its my birthday month :) We haven't decided on doing much for my birthday...I kind of just want to sit back and relax and soak my life in :) I am SO grateful for  Gods blessing :) SO I find myself praying him awhole lot which is a good thing :) My emotions this month have been all over the place for no reason :S 

This month has not been busy at all which I am SO ok with :) this year we have been having a lot of fun and every month has been full of activities SO i was SO ready to tone it down :) 

So excited to get to share a birthday month with my nephew :) Samuel James was born this month and my parents were there to experience his birth and my brothers home coming, from his deployment.  He spent 9 months deployed, so the whole pregnancy.  He left his, and his wife was knocked up, and he came home to a new baby boy.  He would be the only boy in the family having the only male children LOL :) 

Samuel James :)
he is his own person but SO looks like Joey Jr.  they both have their daddy's good looks :) 

We didn't do anything until the middle of the month when we went to a baby shower if Fullerton :) it was a lot of fun and it was good to see old friends and catch up with people :) after the shower was over of course we still had to hang out and check out the local breweries :) there was one right next door to the sports venue they had the shower at.  The sports venue was really cool :) baby Kameron will be born this December.  I LOVE his name :)

As always i am still at it :) I started hard with my walks/run in September but that changed :S its okay though.  SO what I have been able to do consistently these days is walk a minimum of 2 miles Monday-Saturday, do 30 squats and this arm workout i found on pinterest.  It isn't much but it is something :)


Happy Halloween everyone :) I know it sucks, out of all days halloween is on a Monday geez :S We have no plans for halloween, cause Monday is a random day and probably because we don't have any kids :S

We will see what next month brings.  Keep it safe and blessed people :)

September 2016 in Review

I can't believe summer is pretty much over :S we had a good summer though.  Hit up the lake/river several times and enjoyed life the month of July.  We had a lot going on the month of July so,  the river/lake didn't see us., we enjoyed everything else we did that month though. Well see what next year brings :) #excitedaboutnextyearalready:)

We started off this month like we have always liked to do, its our tradition.  We went to the LA county fair and a bunch of people that we love joined us.  The Davis family & the Burrell family.  Great experience :) The ladies escaped for a little bit to do a little wine tasting while the guys got to enjoy all the other aspects of the fair :)

The night after the fair we went to Alabama.  Brandon had to get some more of his family in, so we did it again LOL on somewhat of a budget :S #notreally:S We got to spend a little time with the family at the family house, then to the NO we went with pops to spend some time down there and watch the Raider season opener game :) it was such a good game.  I had all kinds of emotions that day, so glad we came out of there with a victory.  SO glad we were able to do this. I think, it is on our bucket list.  We want to experience as many stadiums as we can. So far we have gone to the stadium in Oakland, NY. SD and now NO.  It is a great stadium and thankfully it is indoors cause the humidity down south is CRAZY.
So, we went to the game and spent time with family then back to Alabama we went to spend more time with family.  Everything we did was GREAT :) hung out, shot a little pool, walked the streets, had late night food etc...we had a GREAT time doing all of it.  For the most part we got to see a lot of people.  We didn't get to see everyone though, trying to get everyone in is always hard :S but of course we saw the grand parents :) we made time for that above everything else.
It was a GREAT trip and the southern hospitality is DOPE.  You can never get to much of that.  We got LOVE in Alabama and the NO.  They LOVED, above everything else that Raider fans came out to visit.  #freedrinks:S

here is a mess of game day pictures with the family :)





Of course I had to get me a grenade :) time didn't a lot to get the famous dessert down there :S next time :) I don't think this city has seen the last of us yet.  We have gone down there every year for the past 3 years :) #enjoyinglife


Cornbread, Clolard greens, & chicken

I had to bring a little bit of down south good food home with me #misssingmysausages:S 
Ive been trying to pick up on my regicie game agin, so I whipped this up.  It wasn't too hard & it was tasty :) I also tried this one which I enjoyed & the hubby wasn't to happy with it so, it won't be on our menu again, but at least I tried it.  

Chicken & Bisquits

We had a friend come in from out of town and was hosting a 90's get together/birthday party :)
It was GREAT to see Mecca :) Had a GREAT time at the party :)
We are some fly girls :)

Then at the end of the month our neighbor that has a pool had a BBQ, which we were invited too so, we went and enjoyed :)

I HATE when we have certain events and I forget to take pictures :S i try my best to remember what all we did for the month and keeping up with my blog is how I do so as well :) I like sharing our story and adventures :)

Stay blessed and active everyone I have :)
