Happy Halloween!

"It's the most wonderful time of the year...."

Wrong song, but I thought it fit perfect. Halloween marks the start of my three favorite holidays. I think it is mostly because I get to decorate ;)

This past Saturday, we had friends over and we made a craft. Shanna got an idea to take a bird house and make it into a haunted house. Tyler was able to get a hold of wood and create his own. He did a fantastic job. I added my opinion, but it was all him.


Sunday, we did our pumpkin carving. Cameron is still too young to do anything, so he slept while Tyler and I went at carving. Afterwards, I made my pumpkin seeds. They sure were yummy.


This weekend, we get to go trick-or-treating. It will be our first time. It won't be long because Cameron still doesn't understand what is going on, but it will be fun as he gets older. We sure are excited. He is going to be a cute tiger.


I hope everyone has a wonderful, but safe, Halloween!!!

One Month Old!!

I can't believe that I have been a mom for one month! Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday I was still pregnant. I guess this is kind of an idea of what his life will be like. Next thing we know, he will be getting married or something. I better take advantage of the time I have now with him.

For Halloween, we were able to carve pumpkins. This is something we have done ever since we have known each other. It helped having my mom here to watch Cameron for us for a little bit. It allowed us to carve the pumpkin and cook the seeds.

We were also able to dress Cameron up for at least a picture in a Halloween costume. Thanks to a coworker, we did have a costume to dress him up in. It will be even more fun when he can go trick or treating in it. I look forward to the wonderful years ahead of us :)

We want Fall Break!

Another week has gone by. We are so ready for fall break to get here. It couldn't get here any faster. Both of us are only taking 2 classes each, but it still is hard when we are working full time. Tyler works until 3 in the afternoon and then goes to classes on Tuesday's and Thursday's. I work Monday-Saturday and go to school Monday, Wednesday's and Friday's. I am working two jobs trying to get some good money to pay off our debt and to improve my sign language skills.

Fall Break is coming up and we are so ready to have a good weekend to relax, sleep in, and of course, spend time together. Tyler and I had a blast this weekend. On Friday night, for our date night, we went shopping at Robert's and Michael's to find a bunch of Fall/Halloween items. We found a lot of things! Tyler surprises me of how much he is enjoying decorating with me, but I love it!! Our little basement apartment is decorated for Fall/Halloween. We probably want to find a little more Fall items, but who knows when that will be.

I love that Tyler is being more creative. He is now the cook around the house since I am the one who get's home late. He does an amazing job! He made me a picture frame for my birthday which is vinyl lettering that has our last name (Voris) in red, and in black is says "families are forever established 2007." Thanks Scott's for the great idea! I loved it! I cried because I loved it! I realize each day how much more I love Tyler and so thankful that we are married. It has been the best 9 months of my life!!! I am excited to see what else will happen in our life together. :)
