Kalene's Birthday

Happy Birthday Kalene! For Kalene's birthday, we took her out to Oregano's, yummy! We had so much fun! Afterwards we made a pit stop to Ross for a little shopping, picked up a homemade cheesecake thanks to Nicole (delicious) and headed to Merri's for jacuzzi time. It was great to hang out and talk, we stayed up til almost midnight laughing and having fun. Happy Birthday Kalene, we love you!

Temple Lights & Ice Cream

Tonight for FHE, we met at the Mesa Temple to see all the Christmas lights.

Here's all our kiddos-we've got some Regimballe's, Miller's, Rohner's, and Fuller's in the mix.

After strolling the Temple grounds and looking at the beautiful lights, we got ice cream at DQ. Only in Arizona can you sit outside and eat ice cream in December without getting too cold!

Ryan didn't mind sharing his cone with Audi! Apparently neither of them are too concerned about germs! So, we'll try not to be either!

Fun night! Thanks friends!

Twilight Premiere!

Ok so for our latest adventure we went to the midnight premiere of TWILIGHT. We had shirts made for us (thanks Merri) that said " I love Edward" or "I love Jacob" thought the majority of us are obsessed with Edward, sorry Haleigh,haha! It was fun to stay up late, and fun to be there with all of the excitement but the reviews were mixed on the movie. I think it is hard to top such a wonderful book, while the movie did have some good parts and the actors for Bella and Edward were fitting, it was still not what most of us thought it would be. I hope the sequel is better. Still, we had a blast with the Real Housewives as always and it was a fun night out! We definately paid for it the next day after only getting 3 hrs of sleep!

Fall Couples Night In

So for our November couples night we had a potluck/game night at the Miller's. It was so fun! Funny though that the women got kicked out to eat on the back porch while the guys watched Fox News and debated in the house. So they were the only ones in our picture, oh well! It was a really fun time between the yummy bread bowls, the decadent desserts, and the hilarious answers when we played Catch Phrase! Tessa you are a riot, a cup,haha! Dane and Jamie, love the actions and I am embarrassed to say that my husband Ryan somehow knew the "Notting Hill" answer, sad huh?!

The Final Countdown

Okay, mark your calendars girls!! We have our tickets for the 12:01 showing (thanks Elena!), and our shirts are ordered! We can't wait!!

Chick Flick Night

We got together and had another fun Chick Flick night... except last night we never exactly got to the chick flick. I guess that's what happens when you get a bunch of real housewives together after bedtime. We had big plans for the night from watching a movie that the hubbies wouldn't want to watch with us to going teepeeing... (Camille and I were too chicken) All of which ended up being put on the back burner. Instead, we just gabbed and ate left over Halloween chocolate and pizookies. Thanks again girls, it's so nice to have such a fun group of girlfriends to count on. We have fun, no matter what we do together.

Happy Halloween!

The Real Housewives had a fun night with our friends and families! We started with a potluck chili dinner, visiting, decorating pumpkins, and when the kids started to get restless, we were off to trick or treat around the neighborhood. Then we met afterwards for dessert....and lots and lots of candy!

The ScArIeSt part of the whole night was having all of our kids together....and on a sugar high! Happy Halloween!

More Fall Break Fun

We have been busy this past week with all of the fun fall playdates. Here are a few more pics of the kids at the library and the pumpkin patch. What a blast!

It's A Girl!!!

Today, Camille had her "determine-the-sex-ultrasound," and she's having a GIRL!! Well, that's what her doctor thinks anyway...so until she hears otherwise, we're celebrating with lots of PINK! (And this baby girl's gonna need it with 3 big brothers at home!)

We started the party a little late-we've found that we get a little less complaining from our hubbies if we go out after we've gotten the kiddos in bed. So we got in comfy clothes, ate our favorite munchies, drank some "fancy pink drinks," sat in the Jacuzzi, and visited till 1:30 in the morning! It was a lot of fun! Camille, we are all so excited about this little girl! Congratulations!!

Pumpkin Patch

Fall Break is here, so we've planned a bunch of Girls Days + the Kids. Always entertaining, and wild, but just as fun. Today we went to Mother Nature's pumpkin patch. We had a blast. The bounce house was a bit chaotic, but the kids really enjoyed picking out pumpkins, running through the hay maze and the tractor ride. Thanks again to Debi, Brit, Jana, Alyssa, Emily and Camille. We had lots of fun!

Yummy Food, Depressing Movie

Ok so for our latest GNO we went to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner (yummy, love the fries) and then saw the saddest movie ever, "Nights in Rodanthe". Having read the book and also loving "The Notebook" I assumed it would be great and much to my chagrin I suggested we go. So we did, and cried, then cried some more, then sat in silence, then cried again. Ok sorry ladies, my bad, but between all of us emotional ladies, this was too much for me!

Pizza 'n' Sundaes

Tonight was another fun GNO+the kiddos. We got together at Merri's house for Pizzza and Sundaes while the men attended Priesthood Session of General Conference. We all had a great time, especially kiddos. Although I don't understand how we always seem to forget just how many kiddos we have, when we put them all together. I think that I counted a total of 19 tonight.... whew. Thanks again Merri for another fun and delicious night.

After the kids were done with their pizza they were all begging for ice cream. We told them all to wait out back for us to bring it to them and this is what they did. Poor kids look like they haven't eaten in days!!

Ahhh! All better, now that they all have their cones.

Thanks again "Sister Miller the singing teacher" for the rousing rendition of "Do as I'm Doing." unfortunately for you, this is the best picture that I took :o) Seriously though, how sweet was that, the minute that you started to sing, they all sang right along with you and stopped whatever else they were doing.

Oh, and last but not least, I had to add this sweet picture of little Rylee in her newly decorated nursery (you are so talented Nicole) and color coordinated, matching onesie.

"So what if the eggs are greasy or the toast is burned!"

We had another fun girl's night. This time, it was a "girl's night in!" We all got together at Nicole's home-in comfy clothes-to watch the Relief Society Broadcast on tv. How lucky we are to not have to get dressed up and go sit at the church! This was so much fun! We ate some really yummy mexican food. Nicole made delicious chile rellenos and quesadillas. And thank heavens for TIVO! Even though it took us twice as long to watch the meeting-what with fussy babies, trips to the kitchen for more food, and pausing it to talk and laugh-it was a wonderful, spiritually uplifting evening, that we all enjoyed together.

***Sidenote: Kalene came to watch the broadcast with us too! Thanks for going out of your way to come and visit with us for a bit Kalene. Sorry we forgot to take the picture while you were there!****

Elena & Kariah, Merri & Rylee, Debi, Haleigh & Aubree, Nicole & Madi

Here are our 3 youngest babes...Kariah, Rylee, and Aubree

President Uchtdorf's talk was especially great. He said: "What you create doesn't have to be perfect. So what if the eggs are greasy or the toast is burned! Don't let fear of failure discourage you. Don't let the voice of critics paralyze you; whether that voice comes from the outside...or the inside."

Operation S. Cox

Operation S.Cox is a top secret operation we engaged in at approximately 1900 hours on the night of September 18, 2008. Not much can be said about this operation due to the highly sensitive nature of the information. Only if you have clearance can we disclose the important details of the events that perspired.

How do you say cupcake in spanish?

We had another fun night out with the girls. First we went to the cutest cupcake tasting! Even better than Sprinkles! We really had to pace ourselves. There were probably 50 plus yummy treats, and they were all to good! The business is called Sugar Mama's Sweets. There website is mysugarmamassweets.com After we were high on sugar we decided the eat some more! We went to Tia Rosas and had a yummy mexican dinner. As always the food was good but the conversation was even better! Thanks girls for another night out that keeps me sane.

Birthday Weekend

Happy Birthday Nicole! We all had such a fantastic time this weekend celebrating Nicole's birthday. We need to start planning another over-nighter ASAP! First we went to get make-overs at the Nordstrom make-up counters. Then we went to dinner at Grand Lux Cafe. Yummy. Then we stayed the night at the Hyatt Summerfield Inn. While there, we hit the hot tub, did our own facials and pedicures, slept in, had a yummy continental breakfast and lounged by the pool 'til noon. Here are a few pics to document the event.

Aren't we cute with our face masks on! I kinda think that we look like witches :o)

Debi decided she needed a midnight snack!

Thanks for the warning on this picture! Oh well, I suppose I can post this picture since I posted the one of Debi eating her midnight snack :o)

Nicole and Debi decided that they made pretty good "bed buddies!"

The youngest girls on our girls weekend.
