Our Weekend...

Spencer went racing in California this weekend. Usually this means me and Preston are stuck bored at home but that wasn't the case this time! We were SO dang busy all weekend and we had SO much fun! Thursday we met Corinne and Ryan at the mall and played and did some shopping and then that night I met up with my friend Elena and we went to dinner and to a few stores. Friday I introduced Jani to my one of my favorite places Cafe laguna and then we made me a SUPER cute fall wreath ( I'll post pictures tomorrow on my craft blog ) and then that night Corinne came over for a sleepover. Saturday we went to the Wildlife World Zoo and then that night we made Corinne a wreath like mine because she loved it so much. We had so much going on and this weekend was such a good one :). Here are some pictures from the zoo!

Preston just wanted to touch every animal

It was a pretty perfect day yesterday...weather was in the 80's, when we were in the sun it was a little warm but not bad at all. 

Preston LOVED that he could just run around and look at the animals

Preston fed the ducks...he thought it was hilarious to throw the food at them haha

Me and Corinne at the wildlife show...Preston HATED the show...he didnt want to sit still and he threw a fit the whole time :(

Preston with the deer...see how he is trying to get my hand to let him go...i think he would have jumped on the deer if he could

Cute picture of Aunt Corinne and Preston

This was so funny...we were trying to pet the stingrays and one came up fast to preston and scared him to death

We had a lot of fun...i would say the petting zoo and feeding the ducks were prestons favorites though!

Day 4-A habit that you wish you didn't have

I think my worst habit would have to be biting my nails. I wish SO bad I had cute hands but my fingers look so ugly because my nails are all bitten off. I used to get acrylic nails but had to stop because we couldn't afford them. Hopefully I'll be able to get them back on someday because this is just something I can't stop doing...I've tried and tried.

Day 3-A picture of you and your friends

I don't have a picture with lots of friends in it so I just compiled some pictures in a collage...here are some of my friends...I love them all but i know i'm missing a few...if i am missing you then we probably need to take a picture together haha!

Day 2-The meaning behind your Blog name

 SpencerandChelseaCoonFamily

It's more informational than anything...just in case somebody forgets whose blog they're reading. :)

Day 1-Recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

1. I wear lounge clothes ALL the time. I will change ( most of the time ) if I leave my house but if I'm home I will change back into my comfy clothes. I got this from Spencer...as soon as he gets home he's in basketball shorts. 
2. I pretty much taught myself to sew. My grandmas showed me a little but I really learned from trial and error by myself. I still have a TON to learn.
3. I want to write a book. I have dreams about writing a book on parenting and being a mother. 
4. I'm happiest at home. I'm a homebody and love just spending time with my little family. 
5. I think about decorating my house constantly. There are SO many projects I wish I had the money to just do. I think there is always something I'll want to change. 
6. I LOVE to travel and vacation. Going somewhere new excites me and I wish I could travel the world. I'd like to take my kids with me and we could all learn of new cultures together. Someday...Someday...
7. I used to love scary movies and now I HATE them
8. I'm a beauty school drop out. But I know how to do just about everything so I can always do my family's hair but I just hated doing anyone else's. I never had good experiences with hair stylists on my hair ( they always messed it up ) and I was afraid of being that person so I quite.
9. I wish I would have taken photography classes before I had Preston. I LOVE taking pictures especially of him and I wish I had to skills to take pictures for others every once in a while. I still think I may take some classes when I have more time and money. 
10. I have a hard time finishing projects. I get SO excited to start something new and I have so much fun at the beginning but towards the end I seem to always get bored and it takes me forever to finish things. 
11. I love the rain and cloudy days. I could seriously live somewhere where it rains everyday. The smell is my all time favorite smell.
12. I'm trying to be a better cook. Cooking things from scratch and eating a lot more healthy. I'm still learning...
13. I don't ever get tan. My skin is either white or red. It's not fair. 
14. I'm a planner and plan out everything in my head before doing anything. It doesn't always go out as planned but I try.
15. I always think about the good and not the bad. I like to think that everything will be fine and work out while my husband worries. This drives him crazy.

Goodbye October...

We had to show off our costume to Grandma and Grandpa Coon so we wore it again last night and went trick or treating at their house and then stayed for dinner. 

For some reason this picture is a little blurry but we had a good time last night and Preston loved helping pass out candy to all the trick or treaters. I had left candy out on our bench in the front of our house for the trick or treaters since we weren't home but when we came back last night our pumpkin was punched in and Preston's pumpkin was gone and so was all the candy. I'm guessing one of the kids ignored my "take one please" sign and stole it all and then some other kid got mad that there wasn't candy and punched our pumpkin and took the other one. Rude! Anyways October is gone and its November! November is a fun month for us...We have a lot of birthdays on the Coon side including my sexy hubbys on the 11th and then of coarse there is Thanksgiving and my parents are coming here and I am SOOO excited!
