Mt.Charleston vs the Luecks

Family days are far and few for us right now,

our schedules are INSANE!

Yes, it is 1:40am and I have received my second wind

and thought I better post while I have a second!

Not that I need to explain... but,I will any way!

Robbie works 6 days a week and when a job comes available he is working his handyman Co.

This results in not seeing much of him,

but to feed his tummy and kiss the kiddos goodnight!

After the kids are in Bed,

I am off to the computer to enjoy my overload of school assignments! BLAH!

Along with EVERYTHING else that consumes ones day this = NO TIME!

I am in no way complaining, just stating that our Adventure

to Mt. Charleston was much needed,

so fun and one of the best days our family has had in months!

So, here are a few pics,

complementary from our little pocket camera!

woot, woot....

Pulling the kiddos around...

my cardio was challenged after

-3 weeks of exercise due to illness.

Funny how that works, needless to say it was refreshing and good for the lungs!

Daddy and the muffins!


Cheeky babes!

Lovelies.....

Grill master of the Dog!

Ahhh.... Two love birds

Leaving the cool mountain air, 35 min drive to the crazy world of LV!

Happy Halloween!

This Halloween season is still allowed to

carry on, because it is FALL...

as London would so sweetly put it!

We are still listening/dancing

to the Monster Mash and Little Red Riding Hood

Soo.. this post does not seem over due, as in reality it is! BOO!

As obviously as it is, we have our BATMAN & our Good Witch!

It was fun putting their costumes together!


This little BatMAn is such a stud!

He is growing up so fast, sometimes I have to remind myself he is only 18 months.

His little personality is coming out more and more every day.

He is a cheeky little guy, always giving London a hard time.. he teases her, takes her things and runs away laughing. We have to keep our eyes on this one!

He is so sweet on the other hand and gets so excited about everything.

Halloween was heaven for him!

He loved trick or treating and would carry his bucket around, making sure nobody took it. I caught him eating the candy with the wrappers still around it.

This boy is so funny!

London has been celebrating Halloween since September! She has been a witch on several occasions, dressing up out in public and here at home. As a matter of fact she has had our family on a daily basis as a bat family, vampire family, witch family... you name it we have been that "family", acting our part in her make believe world. There is NEVER a dull moment with our lovey! She has been so excited for Halloween, I was bummed for her when she got sick the week of Halloween. She missed a few school functions, but rested up enough to go out for Halloween!

We love her so much! She has brought so much joy and happiness into our home.... I know the several photos are much, but I couldn't help share her little expressions. She takes her modeling for me VERY serious!

Can you tell they're Brother & Sister?!

We are just eating these little people up! We are having so much fun!

Happy Holiday Seasons!!

It's that time of year!

Time to get family pictures done,

heres to the Bullen Family!

Just a sneak peak....

I love this one, mom preping her little man.

New MUsic

For those of you that are Train fans.... you are more than aware of this new single coming out in October.

I really have not been a HUGE fan of this band.. Why?! I don't know.. I guess I have just been draw to other likes. With that said I have liked a few of their songs in the psat and believe that they have great talent!

Did I mention they are in Nor Cal? San Fransisco to be exact.. so You know me I like, ummm..love em for that fact!

Soo, today I came across their new Album Save me, San Fransisco and this single "HEY SOUL SISTER".... I DIG IT!!

IN THE WORKS

It has been several months since we started this little Project with our cabinets.

(Little is an understatement)

I wish I would have taken a picture of the cabinets before... I think we just got to excited to get working on them we didn't even think about it... duhh!

The last few weekends I have been priming my guts out,

and Robbie's job has been caulking these ridged old cabinets.

We keep asking ourselves why , why did we started this!

Well, we cant turn back now and we must, must, bust these babies out!

We've decide to paint the cabinets white, this is just the first phase..

we still have to paint and add hardware to the doors & drawers.

Hello Hyberspace... take a look into my cabinets and my messy kitchen!

We actually have many projects up our sleeves, or should I say my sleeve?!

I now want to paint our stools and hutch an antuiqe blue,

popping some color around our home!

and then... the Piano.... ohh

We have the piano that came from Robbie's home growing up.

It needs some TLC and we have just the idea for it!!

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE Else HAD AN IDEA TOO....

While..... I was in the works on the Kitchen,

my little destroyer found the last roll of TP......and more!

Yeah! I was a little upset..

only for the fact that I needed to REALLY use the toilet and it was dripping wet with nothing to use... YUCK.. and I had to empty the TP glob out before I could use it!

(plus I had to take time to get a picture)

Have you sat on a wet toilet lately?

Actually, I thought it was hilarious!

Tahiti Village.... VEGAS STYLE

A few weeks ago I took the kids to the Tahiti Village... I forgot about these pictures until I came across them the other day. My mom is an owner to these time shares and left her pass for us to enjoy the lazy river, and sandy beach entrance pool. It was fabulous, a little get away!

A glimpse into a possible stay-cation!

On our way........

Oops.. just a picture of (MOM)the one behind the camera...

Miss London...enjoying the sand & water!

Kingster... our Baywatch boy!

Paradise P&J's.. Grub style

Relaxing Feet, enjoying the kissing sun!

Lovin Yellow Boots!

Kingston woke up from his afternoon nap, pleading to put on his little yellow galoshes.... how could I resist a little man in a diaper and yellow boots.. BRING IT ON!

He was LOVIN his yellow boots!! He wore them all through dinner and when it was time to go outside... well his yellow boots went too!

A few of Kingston's Expressions..............

Kingston has become such an independent seeker. He has a little temper that flames quite often and usually with a screech that sends you to your funny bone kind of feeling.. totally annoying! We call him the destroyer (London & I) He is constantly into everything, climbing onto everything and making a mess of everything. He loves balls, making baskets with his hoop ( really, he makes awesome baskets!) and even putts a golf ball pretty darn good for a 15 month old.(if you call it putting.. we have video I should post) He has good eye coordination and athletic abilities. Not only does he like to play hard, he loves to sing, dance and read with Lond's and I, however he can only sit still for about 1 min. than he is up and down and into everything again. He loves taking rides on the scooter, in the wagon and totally loves to play with swords.. he is a true boy!

Kingston on the other hand is the sweetest little guy. He will spread the love of kisses to almost anyone, especially to London. She doesn't always appreciate the slobber that comes with the kiss. Kingston is our tickle monster and will try tickling you randomly. He is a character and a silly one at that! He does becomes bashful at times and hides his head & face into me when he meets new people.
Kingston takes my breath away with his silly smile and his adoring love for me.. he is a mamas boy! YEAH! I love my little prince..

Happy 15 months Dude!
Did I mention bubbles.. oh yeah, he goes crazy over bubbles!
