Happy Happy Halloween!

Mr. and Mrs. LaRue

I got part of Saturday off so I could attend my good friend Jenny's wedding! She looked absolutely beautiful. It was a so much fun seeing everyone. (All of my friends from Elementary and Jr. High) I was bummed that I wasn't able to make it to my college friend Jenna's open house on Saturday night (She was married earlier in October out of state)

Carter hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Remme all weekend since Josh was down south for the Alabama/LSU game. Carter went out to auntie Carissa's to visit too!

Sunday night I was exhausted after working all weekend, so Nana Lynn had Carter stay at her house.

Josh had a great time with his friend Chris, my step-dad Jeff and our family friend John in Georgia and Alabama. The guys spent a long weekend at the football game and golfing.

It was a very busy and fun filled weekend!

Pumpkins

Monday evening, Daddy, Mommy and Carter went to 101 Market to get some pumpkins!

Stockholm Rally

Saturday afternoon Josh, Carter and I were in Cokato for the big Stockholm Rally. We watched cars race one another out in a big field. It was a lot of fun! Carter LOVED watching the tractors and riding on the four-wheeler with daddy and uncle Eric.

Carissa and Eric's nieces babysat Carter that evening, which allowed Josh and I to enjoy ourselves in a big shed with friends, drinks, music and dancing. Can't wait for next year! Thanks for inviting us Carissa and Eric!

Dress Shopping!

The beautiful mother of the bride and the MOH

Saturday afternoon was spent dress shopping for one of my best friend's wedding. Mandy is a very very very close friend of mine from elementary school. She is marrying one lucky guy next summer and I get to stand by her side as a bridesmaid! It took us a total of 5 minutes to pick a dress and the rest of the time was spent out to eat, shopping and discussing the bachelorette party :) I love this girl so much and I cannot wait for the wedding! (Carter is going to look pretty cute too, since he is their ring bearer)

Carissa's Baby Shower

Sunday we threw Miss Carissa a baby shower in Faribault. I decided that I want to plan parties for a living :) I just LOVE doing all the putsy things involved. It was a beautiful day and we were very excited with the turn out! Carissa is now 33 weeks, she is cute as could be. With nothing but a little basketball in her tummy. Now that Cohen has all of his baby things, we just can't wait to meet him!

Carter just loves his auntie (can you tell :)

Advice for the momma to be...I found these adorable advice cards for Carissa, everyone filled one out and then hung them up for everyone to read the wonderful 'motherly' advice

The diaper cake I made for Carissa (so much fun!!) I hope more of my friends get preggo...so I can make some more!

Best Buds

Lily and Carter have grown to love each other (well maybe Carter loves lily a little bit more....but she definitely 'tolerates' him:) They are way too cute together sometimes. Carter hands lily her bones, he holds on tight to her toys while she tries to yank them away and the two of them just LOVE playing with each other in the orange tunnel Carter got for his bday. Carter even enjoys pushing lily in the stroller.

My cute boys in blue

Sunday night...after a very busy weekend.....Carter and Daddy were cuddling on the couch and I just had to snap a pic....matching in blue (even the nook matches :)

Mommy's little helper

I turned around the other day and found the little man sweeping our floor :) I don't know where he learned this from (since cleaning is my very least favorite thing to do, and I don't do it very often) He is just growing up way to fast :(
