KISS This!!

Hey Everyone!!! So guess what! WE WON THE COSTUME CONTEST THIS PAST FRIDAY!! I really am not one to brag, but WE ROCKED IT!!

When I look at the pictures I can´t believe we pulled it off as well as we did. Our entire thought process was we have to TOP the Ninja Turtles. Well....I´m pretty sure we accomplished that, but have NO IDEA what it´s gonna take to make next year a 3peat!

Jammin´ Out!

Here´s the $$ shot w/ 3rd place winner and DD for most of the night THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!

I will add that as much as we ROCKED it...I felt it the next morning. We partied like rockstars all right and am pretty sure that I can physically take only one of those nights a year.

As long as these are the only shots we get from police officers - We´ll be in good shape :).

I am NOT the only prize winner of the family! My sweet little Kylee Jo won 3rd at the little Halloween Contest at the Maritime Museum in Rockport. I think there were close to 30 entries in her age group (2-3 years old). All I´m saying is I think that is pretty darn good considering she DID NOT want to wear her hat and the guy dressed up as "Swamp Thing" was freaking her out and she really didn´t want to be ANYWHERE near him!

Kylee in her Cowgirl Duds!!

My nieces and nephews were there and Kylee had fun playing with her cousins. So much fun that I had to climb in the "Jump Castle" and drag her and Little Miss Kinsey out... Talk about a SCREAMIN´ fit!

Here they are jumpin´ away! Kinsey is the little Bumble Bee in mid air to the left.

As soon as we figure out the theme for next year´s Halloween party...you better believe that we´ll be thinkin´ about our costumes. Everyone else better BUCK UP BABY and Bring It!!

I want to say a SPECIAL THANK YOU to Ms. Alice for being able to watch Kylee last minute!! You ROCK!!

More posts to come!

Halloween...80´s Style!!!

Hey! Hey! It´s that time of year again.... Tomorrow is the annual TOWN (Texas Outdoor Women Network - Rockport) Halloween Party - 80´s REWIND!!!

If any of you are in the area (or reasonable driving distance) YOU SHOULD BE THERE!! There is a $5 cover and proceeds go to our annual SCHOLARSHIP FUND!!

Last year 3 of my girlfriends and I dressed up as the NINJA TURTLES!! So I was fairly new to the TOWN group and (apparently) didn´t pay attention at the meetings and didn´t realize there was a prize for the best costume....

My friend Kacie (over at Pistols and Cupcakes or Rowdy Maui) and I had already went into full brainstorming and recruitment mode. We went back and forth between several different groups and settled on the Ninja Turtles. I have a friend Shannon (go check her work out at http://www.shannonbuckphotography.com/) from back close to home looking for something to do. Let´s just say she called me at the PERFECT time! So we had our 3rd turtle.

Then...I had recently met a new friend (a little FIRECRACKER of a chick that likes to hunt and stab ferral hogs for fun - it´s a real epidemic folks.) Check out her and her husband´s website here. Her name is Krystal. My Mother and Sister-in-law watched the little ones and off we went. Krystal and I acutally got our husbands to dress up with us as Splinter (the Rat) and Shredder (the bad guy). Let´s just say....they will probably NEVER dress up with us again (hence the reason you will not see a picture of them :)).

You Know you´re diggin´ our turkey pans!

Little Miss Kacie also met her LOVER BOY there - which happens to be one of our friends from back home. Still together....tomorrow night makes one year since the day they met. :))

Here they are the night we went out dancin´ to CELEBRATE our WIN!!

So we have our turtles and Kacie and I have TONS of fun shopping for the needed supplies. I am SO glad my dear friend Kacie and her AWESOME Momma know how to sew! They did their thing, we got to the party right on time, and MAN were people looking at us. A little intimidating....

Do I look intimidated ;)?

So...to make this long story short. We wound up winning. Now, by this time we had heard through the grapevine that there was a prize, but we thought maybe a gift certificate to Poor Man´s Country Club (the place where the party is held - click HERE for website). Little did we know we just won ourselves $200 cash AND a SASH :).

Shannon, Kacie, Me, and Krystal with our $$$$!

Well...everyone had SO much fun last year that they decided to do an 80´s Party REWIND this year.

SO................we have to TOP last years. We think we´ve done it. We lost one turtle....Mrs. Krystal :(. She had to go out of town for work BUT we have a new recruit and she´s a crafty little thing herself. She´s my JUNK-O-RAMA Prom goin´ friend Ms. Lindsey!

Me and Lindsey at the Party Last Year!

Stay tuned for PICS to see what we came up with!! It´s time to BUCK UP BABY!! We´ve gotta step it up to get the win. We´ll see if we pull it off. Until next time.....TURTLE POWER!!
