Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Yesterday was soo much fun, we hung out with Spencer at the race track, we went and saw Jani and her house and we went and did some shopping with her, and then we got dressed up and passed out candy! Preston was the cutest lion ever! His chubbiness just filled out his costume and made him look even chuckier haha. I loved it! We had soo many trick or treaters...i bought 8 bags of candy and we ran out! Next year im gong to have to buy a ton! Look at those cheeks and that double chin!

So happy with daddy

He knows whats good....haha

With the pumpkins

Car Races

Yesterday morning me and preston went to go visit spenc and his dad out at the race track. This time of year is their "racing" season...Ron said instead of having a hunting season they have a racing season haha. Preston has never been out there before and im not sure if he liked it all that much...its just really noisy and kinda stinky from exhaust but it was fun to be there for a while and visit and watch the guys race their cars. They only had 2 mustangs out, the '67 and the black cobra. I was trying to get a good picture of the two of them racing side by side but i was horrible at it and i only got one and its not that great. But they had a lot of fun!

Prestons Pumpkin

We just barely got around to carving prestons little pumpkin tonight...which is what we should have done all along cause our pumpkins are pretty much dead and didnt even make it to halloween...pretty lame. But anyway luckily we had prestons so his will be our only lil pumpkin for our trick or treaters. He of course was only interested in eating the pumpkin...no i didnt let him eat anything but i did let him taste the lid of the pumpkin after it was washed. haha he loved every minute of it! Spencer carving and preston playing
Silly lil boy

Tastin the pumpkin...looks like he liked it haha
Showing off his pumpkin
Mommy and preston...he was soooo much more interested in the pumpkin then the camera

We tried to take a picture outside in the dark to show off the pumpkin but it didnt work...it looks like daylight

Curtains!

We desperately needed curtains covering our sliding glass door...for months now there has been nothing there and if anyone wanted to they could see right into our house at night. Its been bothering me soo bad but i finally got them done. Originally i just bought some plain black curtains at target because they were on sale but the ones for the door were like 20 inches too short..dumb me didnt measure before i went shopping. Well I honestly didnt want to return them and i think my door is extra long because i couldnt find any that would be long enough that you didnt have to special order and it would be like 100.00. Seriously? For curtains? So i kept them and found some really cute fabric at hobby lobby for 30% off. The sewing machine i have is my moms old one...and it doesnt work so i went over to my grandmas and we did them together...she did so much cause my lil chunk was a lil grouchy but it was fun anyway. I absolutely love how they turned out. They go with my kitchen perfectly and most importantly it covers my door! Love them! Thanks grandma! The short ones...we had to do them too so they would all match and go together...





My kitchen with the new curtains...oh i could look at them all day...

New Car

A boy can dream right...haha. This car is now a new member of the Coon family Car collection...just not this coon family haha. Spencers Dad is OBSESSED with fast nice cars. He has alot of really nice vehicles that he takes his boys and brothers to race with. The newest being the 08 dodge viper spencer is sitting in. I do have to say though that Ron deserves this car. Would you just let all your sons and brothers race your really nice cars? haha im not so sure that i would...he is seriously one of the most giving people i know. Not just the whole car thing but with anything. I have never met anyone as willing to help his loved ones or anyone in need like he is and ive only known him a little over 2 years. I really am so very grateful to be apart of the coon family. I know that sometimes i can be a pain in the butt, unthankful, and get my feelings hurt when really i shouldnt but i really do love them and im so thankful for them. My little family has lived more comfortably because of the help ron and debbie are soo willing to give. Im also really grateful for how him and his uncle rob has given spencer great oppertunitys for work and providing for our family. If it wasnt for them i dont know how wed make money and i dont know how spencer would have time for school. Because of them spencer is able to work, go to school and have time with his family. All of the things spencer loves to do would not be possible without his dad. Im so thankful that hes able to go and do the things he loves to do with his dad. Things that just wouldnt be possible to do without him. Thank you Ron for all that you do for my family...for raising an amazing son who turned out to be the greatest man i know. I hope and pray that we will be in the position to help those who we love and anyone else in need. Your example is one that many should look up to.

A couple more pictures of these sweet cars...On the left is the Ford GT and on the right is the Viper.



Picnic

I live for days like these. Yesterday was such a relaxing and enjoyable day...the weather was perfect, spencer was home alot, my house was super clean and preston was just soo happy. We took a little walk and had a picnic in our neighborhood. Preston was trying super hard to sit up and he was doing really good. It amazes me how much he learns and how fast. Hes getting to be such a big boy...he definantly has rolling from his tummy to his back down and hes starting to sit up, we have to watch him though or hell face plant it haha. He is super good with his hands too if i give him a bottle..which is hardly ever...hell hold it up by himself and he can find his own paci in his carseat and put it in his mouth. He is sooo good at saying mama and he absolutely loves it when we sing and dance with him. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be able to raise this sweet little boy. My baby sitting up!
Super cute boy

Me and Preston...Sun was in my eyes

We tried to take a family pic but preston would not look at the camera...this was the best we could do
