Happy Halloween

This past weekend we had our 2nd Annual Halloween Party!  I had so much fun checking out different blogs, websites and Pinterest to get a ton of great ideas. 

Here's how some of those ideas came to life at our party...





















We also had some wonderful friends come over all costumed-up!
Back Row: Aaron & Cristy, Hunter & Shelby, Bethany & Caleb, Heidi & Erick
Front Row: Amanda, Chris & Kirker, Chris & Danielle, Tracey & Ray

Even my daddy was able to be there!!! He's the greatest! :)

Three-hole-punch Dad

We all had a great time, and I can't wait to put my costume back on to pass out candy tonight! Have a safe and Happy Halloween everyone!

Testing...testing...Is this thing on?

Well hello World Wide Web!!!
Yes, it is I...that girl who never ever uses her blog!!!

This post is proof positive that nagging works. ;) ALL (3) of my friends and fans have been begging to hear about the wonders of our life, and my defenses are useless against their incessant pleas.

Hey did you know that the name of this blog is supposed to be read Our Lively Life? I heard someone pronounce it live-lee (As in, I live in San Antonio.), and it just sounded terrible. Maybe I was trying to be too clever? I've considered other options... MerriLee We Roll Along, HappiLee Ever After... Actually I just thought of those, and they're both way better. crap. (Sorry grandma, I know that's not a nice word.) Maybe a blog-overhaul is in order?

Ok, I actually have a TON to post about (that happens when you don't post for a year), but I'm taking baby steps. I think I avoid blogging because I feel all this pressure to post something awesome that will make you laugh, cry, or impress you with my witty phrases and excellent use of vocabulary and punctuation. Needless to say I cower from this daunting task, but I SAY NO MORE!!!

So today I will post about my doggy... The Kirkerman!!

aawe!
Don't you just wanna squeeze him!?!
