Minnicks On Their Road To Ever After: Happy Halloween!!

I’m so very disappointed… we had absolutely no trick or treaters this year!! I blame it on all the churches and school doing “trick or trunking” in their parking lots…. safe yes, but can we say boring!! UGH- absolutely!

The Little five Point parade (that i do realize was 2 weeks ago and i have yet to post pictures of it until now) however, was anything but boring!!

This was probably the scariest little 4 year old we have ever seen!

After we got our good yummy fried food and snowballs we were ready for the parade!

I think this one was my favorite… she was honestly the scariest thing there without doing a thing at all except staring….

Below are some of my favorites!!

I attempted to keep the pictures “G” rated since Ana is my number one reader of this blog.. there were quite a few “R” rated characters, trust me!!

I Love You Ana!!

As I mentioned in the last post (that I obviously published from the car with my phone, oh wait you knew that from the uncentered pictures at the bottom of it that drive me crazy!) we were going home for the weekend and we were all long over due for a visit!

Much to my surprise when Alex and I walked in the door about midnight there was champagne on ice, balloons and banners and a huge present filled with “professional LMSW clothes” ad an adorable black trench coat!

I think I have the best parents…. and people wonder why I get so excited about little things… I was trained!

… and then I passed it on to this big guy!!

Tucker and Milly were sooo happy Friday afternoon to hear that we were going to grama and grampas, they love sitting in the sun outside and playing with their “cousin” Jaxson…. we don’t really have a good title for what Jaxson is to any of us, which is a good thing considering we all love him equally!

You see, Jax was given to me in high school as a puppy from Lou and when I went to college he stayed behind and became my parents dog because the apartment Ney Ney and I loved it had a no dogs allowed policy…

I think he is the kid who his mom had at a young age so he was left to be raised by his grandparents so now his mom is his sister and his siblings are his cousins…. and there you have it!

My explanation for how Tucker, Milly and Jax are now considered cousins!

Mom and I kept teasing Milly and asking if she wanted to go for a walk.. She would get so excited and look to me to see “where” we were going on the walk as if she can’t run around on her own!

I guess the idea of it being a walk around the yard with her mom and grama just make it more fun?

(No worries mom, I cut out your flip flops with socks)

Love you :)

I just had to post this one, typical Milly and her grampa…

She doesn’t miss a beat with that man… she loves her grampa!

Saturday night was Neyney’s big birthday bash so mom and Tara and I spent a good bit of time in the kitchen baking some goodies, particularly HEATH bar cake and peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chip Reeses pieces cookies (insert exhale here)!!

Thank goodness for Stephanie and her camera …..I actually have proof of being there!!

Beautiful, beautiful girls!!

Lauren was the best hostess to entertain on her won birthday celebration, everything was beautiful and wonderful especially the edibles!!

Happy Birthday Lauren and Renee, I feel terrible though, the first thing I thought of the next morning was that we didn’t put candles in the cake and sing happy birthday!!!!

Will was amazing and each time he played a new song the words “omg this is my favorite song” came out of one of our mouths!

THen we wondered why we hired a singer when Joe and I can sick “Ice, Ice Baby” with the best of them and Joe is aparently a pro at farting noises which unfortunately kept us pretty entertained!!

Sad.. I know! Only kidding though, we would be crazy to trade that for Will, he was wonderful!

Sweet Lou and the best girls makes for an amazing night!!

I love you Ney, happy birthday!!

Sunday mom and I played outside with the dogs and then had El Sombrero for my second time in two days before going to visit Karen and Mike…

When we got there Mike and Karen were both napping so this little guy entertained us and could not be happier to see us for obvious reasons!

Him and that frizbee!

The weather was perfect for a fire! Actually at night it was too cold to be outside without one!

Look who woke up…

Rocket is the pride and joy of the family but Charlie honestly has my heart…. he is the sweetest most co-dependent bundle of joy you have ever met! Lou and I naturally agree….

Look at those eyes!

Other than Rockets Love for the Frizbee….

…is his love for charlie, they couldn’t be better buds but I think Charlies codependency is what “holds rocket back” watch the video below:

Yes you saw right, Charlie has learned to bite Rockets ankle to keep him from chasing the frizbee (leaving Rocket more time to play with him)!

Well that was our weekend…. and week…. and weekend before last.. are you exhausted? I am and so is Tuck (below) or maybe he is just enjoying his new bed dropped off on our porch on Halloween from his sweet Aunt Rachel and Uncle Andy!!
