ALMOST 4 YEARS LATER..... FAMILY PICS!!

WOW! We FINALLY got some family pictures taken after Collin and I have been married almost 4 years now!! haha.. Cy is also almost 2!! YEAH.. Procrastination Central.. I LOVE our photographer! She mostly specializes in Children's photography, but she did some family pics for us as well.. She did GREAT with Cy!! I was so excited to see the pics, because she got a TON of all his cute expressions he makes all the time!!! Her name is Janelle and her website is atelierphotographie.com - Anyways.. 1st time for FAMILY pics with Collin, Cy and myself, and then 1st time doing family pics with the Pinckney's with CY in them!! So, ya.. it was a good day! It seemed strange taking pics with just Collin and I.. haha.. We haven't gotten them done since our wedding day! It felt right that day, but now that we have Cy in our lives, it felt strange.. haha.. Anyways, I didn't post them all, because there were almost 300!! I posted quite a few though..

YOU ARE MY LIFE NOW ~Edward Cullen

How can anyone NOT love this immortal man? Collin knows.. I am completely head over heels with a character from a BOOK!! haha.. EDWARD CULLEN!! (Given, the character was designed by a female) He is dang near perfect! haha.. For realz though, this Twilight series, "Twilight", "New Moon", "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn" is THE BOMB!! I recommend it to anyone who HASN'T read it! The author is Stephenie Meyer. Anyways.. The reason for this post is because we had a Twlight PARTY!! It was SO MUCH FUN! We had it the night of the Midnight showing and then went to the midnight movie.. these are pics from the party.. It was a HIT!! GNO all the way!! We might have to have another party for the next 2 movies.. IF they continue making them! Overall, I really enjoyed the movie.. I will be seeing it again soon so that I can REALLY take it in!! Sitting on the second row of the movie theater didn't really do it for me.. Let me know if you've seen it and what you thought!! P.S... Edward was at our party! Are you jealous? haha...

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!

I know I'm HECKA LATE, but here are a few pics from Halloween.. We did the whole "theme" thing with our little family this year.. Cy was an oompa loompa and I was Violet, the Blueberry girl they roll out (from the older film) and Collin was the modern day Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp).. It was fun! Holidays are becoming more exciting with Cy, because he is starting to understand the concept!! He got the hang of the whole "Trick or Treat" thing by the time we got to the second door. It was cute!

GOING PRIVATE??

K, so.. I don't know what has been up with my blog lately, but I wasn't getting emails of the new comments, and somehow it got changed to me having to VIEW comments before they are posted.. Which, I don't remember enabling that comment option... However, the email address that was on my commenting thing wasn't even MY EMAIL ADDRESS!! haha.. HACKERS-R-US! JERKS! K, so.. anyways, I got it all changed back, but sorry if your comment didn't get posted.. Back to the reason I'm posting this.. What do you think the PRO's and CON's are of going PRIVATE? Comments are appreciated!! ;)

CY singing ABC's & RADIO TUNES

Cy is so funny!! He has a thing for the ABC song, so we would always sing it to him, but then the other day he sang the ENTIRE song on his own! Out of NOWHERE!! haha.. I was so impressed, so I had to post the video!! This kid LOVES music! The other thing I noticed is that he sings along to the radio! I should probably start listening to KOSY or FM100 more often now that he picks up on the lyrics! haha..

PARTY AFTER PARTY AFTER PARTY!!

We had a very fun and eventful weekend!! Unfortunately, Collin had to work during most of our parties, so he missed out!! October is always a busy "BIRTHDAY MONTH" for us.. I'm sure you all have those months where there are a million birthday's in your family in one month!! For us, it's October!! Tasha and my mom's is on the 14th, Jojo's is on the17th and my dad's is on the 19th!! We celebrated Tasha's LAST Sunday with her family on the day Mya was blessed.. Friday night was Jojo's ACTUAL birthday, so a few of us went to "P.F. Chang" for dinner!! YUMMY!! I don't know what Cy's deal was with the GIANT horse outside, but he LOVED IT!! haha...

Austin and Cy fighting over Papa... haha...

Saturday my sisters and I (besides Leesa & Tasha) made the road trip to OGDEN and went to Jami & Kaija's annual Halloween party!! Her party each year is SO MUCH FUN and it seems that each year it gets bigger and bigger!! We had snacks, mingled & watched an AMAZING magic show!! It's fun, because one of Jami's rules is that you MUST dress up!! hehe.. Makes me feel like a kid again! Thanks Jami!! It was a BLAST!!

Sunday was my dad's ACTUAL birthday, so Cy and I went to my parents house for awhile to hang out with the birthday boy!

Monday night we had the family party for Mom, dad & Jojo.. It was SO FUN, because my entire family (minus Collin) :( Was there!! James had his daughter, Andelyn here, and she is SO PRECIOUS!! We don't see her as often as we would like, but she is such a sweetie!! She and Cy were playing well for awhile.. Until she decided to bit him! haha.. And then he shook his finger at her and said "NO NO" haha.. Kids are funny!!

Andelyn and Cy wanted to take a ride on Nana.. Cy says "Horsie" haha.. Cy and Andelyn!! How sweet!! Jojo & Sweet MYA!!

I had to post this random pic of Jojo & Cy the other day.. My mom has been watching Cy and she had to go to a dentist appointment, so when I came to pickup Cy at my parents this is what I found... hehe.. It's so precious! I HAD TO take a pic! Jojo - thanks for helping out with Cy!! You are the BEST!! Love you bro!!

One last thing.. We have been going to Timpview Football Games this season to watch Lachelle's boyfriend, Blake McKenzie play.. Anyhow, I couldn't resist posting this precious picture of Cy and Lachelle at one of the games!!
