Happy 1 year Anniversary Fenske Guys and Their Gal!

So it's been a whole year that I've been blogging and I look forward to many more! I love blogs! I enjoy reading them and having my own. I feel like I totally know what's going on in people's lives even though I hardly ever talk to them. I am super excited to make my blog into a book for my family and their posterity to look back on. Blog on People!

Happy Birthday Mom and Baby Sara turns 1!

Too bad the party got rained out so we celebrated with a family dinner at our house!

I was so excited to make a strawberry shortcake cake. I was going to put fresh strawberries around it but they were rotting!I am a crappy auntie! I spelt Sara's name wrong on the cake! In my defense I have 2 friends named Sarah and they both spell it with an H! Good thing she can't read! Sorry Maryann!

My mom and my niece have the same b-day, Oct. 22. I always forget to buy my mom a card and actually write in it and get off in the mail by her birthday, that's what she gets for leaving me...j/k anyways I bought a little write and wipe board for the fridge to remind me to do things because I am very forgetful and get distracted easily so all week I kept saying I've got to get grandma Karen a card....(cute story alert)Ben comes to me in the kitchen and says"I got Grandma Karen's present....I hope she likes it!"he's holding a gift bag. I ask "what did you get her?" he opens up the bag and pulls out one of his toys. He proudly says "a rescue hero!"

I love this sweet, thoughtful, little boy!

Halloween Night

Ben decided to go as Batman trick or treating. Lucas who did not take his costume off from the day before except to go to bed was "Hulk Smash!"and Jacob was a toy slodier from the movie toy story, it was thrown together last minute. I wish he would've let me paint his hands but he didn't want to.

Preschool Halloween Party

Ben decided to be a pirate again for the 3rd year in a row, I love this costume and it has been well worth the $20 I spent on it. Lucas was not the Hulk but as he called himself "Hulk Smash"

Thanks to my awesome friend Tiffany I can now caption my pics! Yeah! This is our preschool class. Our party and costume parade was on Thurs. Everybody looked so adorable!

Pinneo's Annual Halloween Party 10/24

Our friends Mandy and Charlie have a great party every Halloween. You have to wear a costume and no children allowed! This is the 3rd year and it keeps getting better and better every year. I was Hannah Montana, and if you don't have kids over the age of 5 that watch the Disney Channel you probably don't know who that is, Mom. It's Miley Cyrus'alter ego, she's a pop star. Steve was a fat sumo wrestler. Everyone votes for their favorite costume and the winners get prizes..good prizes! First place went to the Eggleston's a.k.a Sarah Palin, she looked just like her and John McCain. 2nd went to the Scooby Doo crew, and 3rd to the clothesline hanging between 2 trees.(I'm bummed I didn't get a pic of the Wright's)Charlie and Mandy were Ms.Hannigan and Daddy Warbucks from Annie. Good food, good friends, good times! Thanks Pinneo's!

Pumpkin Patch

We had a preschool field trip to Underwood Farms again. This time we got to pick a pumpkin. It was so much bloody hot that day it kinda put a damper on things but the boys really enjoyed the corn maze, it was hard but we made it through. After the pumpkin patch the kids ate a snack and threw hay at each other while country music blarred out of the sound system. I love watching kids play. They don't have a care in the world, too bad we have to grow up!

More prop.8 madness

So the other day I was at a stop light and I hear someone yelling at me "Gay people deserve to be married too!" Obviously he opposes prop.8 and my bumper sticker annoyed him so much he thought it was o.k. to yell at me and my children, ya know the whole equal rights bit yada yada, it was a very long light anyways Jacob yells out the window "yes on 8" we all started chanting, it was fun.
Today Jacob came home from school and tells me "I told Jed to encourage his parents to vote yes on prop.8" He said "of coarse they are voting yes, if they don't some guy might ask me to marry him, gross!" Kids tell it like it is!
