I had the pleasure of meeting Charlie for the first time yesterday.. He is such a cute "lil Man". He's a great little baby too, so happy and content.

I can't believe how little he is and i think he likes to cuddle. It's so cute to see Lucy with her little brother. She wants to hug him and give kisses. It's so adorable...

She's going to be a great big sister. And isn't Charlie the cutest baby! The lil Heartbreaker in the making...

Elise Noelle Anderson

Elise my "little" sister is officially an adult! Today is her 18th Birthday...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELISE!!!

To celebrate her birthday my grandparents came over for dinner on Monday night. she opened the "big" gift from my parents since my dad would be out of town for the remainder of the week... They got her one of those small laptops... It's so nice, I'm jealous...

After dinner and presents we had cake and ice cream, now Elise is quite the baker... but i made the star cake, frosted, and addressed it all my self, i was pretty proud of how great it came out!

Today for her actual birthday I made my homemade tomato noodles, french bread, and a salad. The grandparents came over along with Lori Stricklin (megan had to work) It was a really fun evening. Elise opened the rest of her presents, I got her the movie Juno and a bottle of perfume called "Paris". My parents got her a microfiber cloth for the laptop and also a case.

I can't believe my little sister who i waited for (which seemed like forever to an 8yr old) is now an adult. I still look and think of her as that cute little blonde with the curls at 5 years old! She has become such a wonderful sister and a great friend. She's turnning into qutie the lovely young lady... Love you Elise!!!

it's been a long time my friend....

There is not much going on in the HUGHES' Household lately. But Hopefully soon, the holidays are just around the corner...

Trick-or-Treat

All done up and waiting for our trick or treaters to come...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

It's that time again.... and I love it! Bill and I along with his parental Units went to the Pumpkin Patch. I love looking for the perfect pumpkin, one that "sits" well and is wide enough and tall enough to carve a scary face into! It also has to have the "perfect" stem...

This year was a little different because our usual pumpkin patch has closed, so we had to go to a new one, it was nice but didn't have as large of a selection of pumpkins..... We succeeded in finding a really great pumpkin...

Once we got home the carving began....

All-in-all i think the night was a success! Our pumpkin turned out great...

Happy Halloween!!!

Shooting

Saturday Morning Bill and I went shooting with some friends in Lucerne Valley. It was a really good time. Everyone brought a lot of guns and ammo. I got to shoot a shotgun (the kick hurt a little bit..) Not only did we get to go shoot but Bill got to scratch the itch of "off-roading". He took Joey and I in the truck on some whoops and turns... I was a little scared but then i realized Bill is trained for this! It was actually really fun!!! On the way back home I told Bill he should pull over and do donuts in that big wide flat space just off the freeway.... That was a blast!

Here is a short video of bill firing the "big" gun! .50 cal

Can someone say PAAARTY!!!

For Bill's Big 3-0 we decided we needed to celebrate in style!

Let the weekend festivities begin!

Friday Night I took Bill to dinner at JackShrimp it's one of our favorite spots to go... But we don't make it out there that often. After Dinner we Checked into The Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach. It was a really nice hotel.

After checking in we went down to the Pool & Spa to hang out there for a little bit. It was nice we were the only two people by the pool. After that we went into their little cafe and sat by the fire pit sipping on drinks and listening to a one-man band. I have to say he was pretty entertaining.

Saturday morning we ordered room service, then it was off to the next event i had planned. A couples massage at Skin Deep. This is something that we do for each other at every birthday and anniversary. It's kind of like tradition now! It was a much needed massage...

After the Massages we had some down time to relax and then get ready for the big event... Bill's Birthday Party at House of Brews.

We rented out the VIP room. We had a great turn out. We had food, drinks, pool, and just a lot of good company & Fun. I think Bill really enjoyed his birthday!

To wrap up his birthday my parents had a lovely Sunday dinner at their house for Bill. He sure was spoiled this year!

Thank you to everyone who helped make Bill's 30th special and unforgettable!
