HALLOWEEN

I'm bias, I am, but all I can say is this is the most Delicious cupcake I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of cupcakes in my day!

We took pumpkin carving very serious this year.

Note to self: Never have Tylie pass out candy! Her philosophy: one for you, two for me...she is no dummy.

She kept shaking her pumpkins hand and would say "I'm Tylie, nice to meetchya."

And she heads out for some trick-or-treating...

COUSINS!

For the first time in a VERY long time Shane's whole side of the family was able to come together, and I'm talking about everyone! 1 mama, 6 kids, 6 in laws and 21 kiddos. We had some very important family business to take care of, 2 baptisms, 1 baby blessing and a welcome home to Shane's brother Jason who came home from Iraq just for 2 weeks to meet his new babe and bless him and then had to go back until June. Like always, we had a ton of fun catching up and making new memories!

The happiest place on earth.

We were so excited when we found out that 2 of our favorite people were coming into town! Cori and Kingston, all the way from Pittsburgh. We went to Disneyland for a day and had a blast. We played so hard and chased these little cuties all day, to say the least we were exhausted when the day was over! Jeff and Kristen came and met up with us too. After Jeff spent an afternoon with Kingston, to say the very least he is thrilled to have a nephew on the way! He LOVES Tylie but girls and boys just play so differently! Here are a few pics from the day...

We haven't set a date yet, but their wedding is definitely still on. Wouldn't it really be cool to pick your kids in laws?!

Catch up!

WOW how does time go by so quickly?! I guess life is just really good and really busy at the same time! We are so happy, grateful and excited about a lot of things that our near future hold. Just to name a few...We recently moved and love our new/old little townhouse, and more importantly LOVE the location and love it's convenience! Shane has almost completed his first semester in grad school with a 4.0 (not easy to do with a crazy internship, a crazy two-year old and an expecting just as crazy wife) His dedication and love for his field amaze me and know this is what he was born to do. Not only has he had to juggle these things, which is like having a full time job (an unpaid full time job ;)) he now on top of that has added a job in the mix (a paying job :)). We really feel like this truly is a blessing! He barely has any time to spare but the time he does have, he will be working. Jobs are not easy to come by these days and especially a job that fits perfectly into his schedule. We never thought this would be possible because his program is so rough and they advise you not to have a job while going to school. Obviously they don't know how expensive it is to live in CA! Regardless, I am grateful for such a hard working husband who is willing to do anything to make sure his family is taken care of! Lastly, we are so excited about this baby boy onboard! We are counting down the days...I am 6 months along, 25 weeks and 3 days, about 102 days to go...don't worry I don't have this memorized, I cheated and looked at my sidebar.

Well, now that you don't need a Christmas card from the Bulkley's because clearly you know our life story...it's time to do something I swore I would never do! You know those people that don't update their blogs for months and months on end, and then all of the sudden there is post after post after post?! Come on, i'm not pointing my finger at you or judging, i'm just say'n, we all know "those" people. I like to call it BLOG THROW UP. I promise to not make it a habit, but I have to get caught up so here it goes...
