October Recap

How is it November already?!  

Here is a little recap of our October which seriously flew by...

Guns and Hoses

Josh played in the 1st annual Guns and Hoses dodgeball game aka the Police Dept. vs. the Fire Dept.  It was such a hit that they're going to make it an annual community event. Oh, and the Fire Dept. totally kicked some cop booty!  Josh and the guys even brought the cops some doughnuts after the game, ha!

Scarf Swap

I participated in the scarf swap and was paired up with MJ  from teaching in heels and she sent me this super cute scarf:

and it came in a sweetly decorated little package:  

Thanks MJ!

My little brother turned 18!!

(here he is pumping my gas, how sweet is he?!)

I don't know how it's possible but my little brother is now an adult.  Brenton really wanted to do something where he would get IDed now that he is a legal adult so we took a little trip to the Clearwater Casino and played the penny slots!  I tried to take some pictures but I quickly learned the casino has a strict no photo policy BUT... what can I say, I'm a rebel ;)

Cadillac Cash is totally our game! 

I won $6 and Brenton won $14 WooHoo, Go us!! :)

Sickly Me

I got a really nasty virus this month and it seriously wiped-me-out. Thankfully I am married to Mr. Incredible who took care of me and picked up my slack... I love that man!!

And my favorite part of October...

HALLOWEEN!!!

WARNING! We totally get into Halloween @ our house:)

My brother dressed up as "The Situation" from Jersey Shore and I got the job of being his stylist/makeup artist.  It was quite the process there was so much more than GTL... rubbing on makeup from head to hips, coloring in his eyebrows, spraying his hair black, magnetic earrings, the shirt before the shirt, etc. 

  

I also got my sister ready for her Halloween party and she was Clairey the Fairy, super cute!

My mom works at a candy store downtown and she dressed up in this candyland outfit, I love it!

The Beahans dressed up as Batman, Catwoman and Robin.


It's so crazy to look at last years Halloween picture and then this years picture:

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES!!


I hope you all had a great October, we sure did!  I'm totally in love with fall this year.  We've been having a lot of fires in the fireplace lately and it's just been so fun to do seasonal/festive activities with Jay.  I'm looking forward to many more fun and new experiences this November! :)

Our Weekend

This weekend was the annual Bainbridge Fire Department's pancake breakfast.

We had some pancakes and took a fire truck ride on one of the new engines, it was fun because Josh got to ride on the back of the truck in his bunker gear.  

Jay was so sweet, he kept staring at Josh on the back of the engine like, "umm... dad, why are you back there?!"

Jay got a little hat and a junior firefighter badge!  I loved going to the Pancake Breakfast when I was little and I know when Jay is a little bit older and can appreciate what's going on he's really going to love it!

Here's a picture of us w/ Josh in his gear!

[is it just me or is Jay's hair looking a bit ginger-esque?!]

After warming up we headed back out to do some shopping and Claire spotted a huge find:

 3 pumpkins for $10... ANY SIZE!! 

I'm thinking I might need to go back and get some more!

thoughtless thursday

My thoughts:

1.  I am the mother of a boy w/ 4 teeth[!!!] and I'm really wondering when Jay is going to start walking. Jay can now pull himself up on furniture and walk along the couches/chairs in our house, sometimes he lets go and just stands there wobbling.  It's so weird that my "little" baby is getting so big, @ his 9month appointment he was off the charts for height and weight!!

2.  This weekend is my mom's 25 year class reunion and I'm so excited for her!  We went shopping for an outfit and totally scored:

this picture/manikin does NOT do this dress justice, it is the most gorgeous color of purple and I love the detailing on the neckline!

and we got this Lauren Conrad lace jacket to go with it, the dress doesn't have much texture to it so the lace jacket is perfect.

 she is gonna be one hot mama, but what's new! :)

3.  Is it wrong that I love to watch Jersey Shore?!  I think it is so crazy and hilarious, we [Josh and I & our siblings] quote it all the time and... we now refer to Thursday as Jersday.  

4.  This weekend is the annual pancake breakfast at the Fire Dept.  I'm really looking forward to it.  Josh is working the fire truck rides- Jay loves the lights and sirens, we may have a 3rd generation Firefighter on our hands... 

WBoM & WILW

Happy Wednesday!  It's time for some Wee Bit of Me Wednesday and today I am also joining in for the 1st time w/ What I'm Loving Wednesday!!

{one} grilled or fried?

Grilled, my honey does work on the grill!

And can I just say that there is nothing sexier than watching your man cook! Yummy food and some eye candy, totally a win-win situation :)

{two} if you could change one thing about where you live, without worrying about money, what would you change?

Well, Josh, Jay and I are living with my mom and siblings right now helping out during this mess of a divorce my parents are going through. Someday we will have our own place again and I often dream about it but I wouldn't change a thing right now because we're all here together for each other during this yuck.

{three} what is your favorite time of day?

Right about 10:00 am.

I'm usually just getting off work from the coffee shop and get to come home and spend some time with the Beahan boys before Josh heads off to work for the day.

{four} what’s your favorite cereal?

I don't have cereal very often but every once in awhile I really crave some cinnamon toast crunch- yum!

{five} do you open your mouth when you put mascara on?

Yes, I've tried not to and it's pretty much impossible.

{six} if you could make any fictional character come to life, which would it be?

Ron Weasley

{seven} what are your favorite pizza toppings?

I ♥ veggie pizza!!

{eight} are you a heavy or a light sleeper?

I used to be the hardest sleeper but since having Jay I find myself waking up if I hear any noise that might possibly be him.

{nine} what is your favorite board game?

{ten} what star/celebrity do most people say you look like?

People used to tell me that I looked like a white Tyra Banks but I honestly don't think I look like any celebrity, maybe that just means I need to be one? ;)

I'm loving this little boy:

 [Here we are today feeding the horses]

I'm loving his sweet personality, he is the

happiest little guy!

I'm loving Pandora while cleaning the house.

I'm loving all of my festive fall/Halloween decorations (my friend Ashley and I went on a mission to find fall decor on Monday and got some great finds!)  I'll have to post some pictures in my next post.

Happy Wednesday!

Is it just me or does it seem like this week is FLYING by?!

Super Sonics and the twitter bug

Once upon a time in a land called Seattle there was an NBA team called the Seattle Supersonics.  The Supersonics brought joy to land and all was well.  Until one day a bad and evil man named Clay Bennett came to town.  Clay Bennett stole the precious Supersonics and moved them many miles away to a town far far away then he changed their name to the Oklahoma City Thunder 

and the city of Seattle was very sad :(

Needless to say the absence of the Supersonics in Seattle is a sore subject in our household!!  Josh and I both are basketball players and huge basketball fans.  Our 1st date was to a Sonic's game!! There was an awesome documentary made called "Sonicsgate" by a group thats sole purpose is to bring back the NBA to Seattle! You can watch the movie for free on their website.  My best friend's boyfriend and fellow Sonic's fan, Mike, and Josh went to the movie's premier.  

Mike has started a petition to bring back the Sonics!

  "With over 40 years of history, the Seattle Supersonics were stolen from Seattle thanks to personal greed and  lack of city and state government support.  This travesty should never be forgotten.  Let's petition local policy makers to entice the NBA to place a team in Seattle and bring back the Seattle Supersonics." 

You don't have to be a Sonic's fan, live in the Seattle area or even like basketball to sign the petition but I'd love you forever if you'd sign it and would really like to help him out with some signatures from blogland!!  It's super simple, just click *here* and type in your name and your e-mail address (since it's a petition they must verify that it is you that signed the petition) click the link in the e-mail to confirm your signature and that's it! You've just helped Seattle get one step closer to having an NBA team again!!

On a lighter note, I opened a twitter account. 

 Do any of you guys have twitter?!   My sweet husband opened one with me so that we could figure it out together and now had 3x more followers than me, haha!  If you have twitter or tweet or whatever I'd love to follow you or you follow me or both!

 My username is: BrittBeahan

Have a great night! Over & Out! xoxo

You never know until you try...

...so i did.

After hearing everyone rave about Pumpkin Spice

lattes I gave in and got one. O-M-G,

they are amazing!

See, once upon a time, I used to be a complete and udder

coffee snob. I worked for a great coffee house, I made little

europian style dopios, macchiatos, cappuccinos,

you name it! I did latte art like nobody's business, we

had amazing Zoka coffee... it was the bee's knees.

Until one day the coffee shop shut down and I had no place to turn

to get coffee, except...

Starbucks was there for me when I had no place to go ;)

I'll admit it and I never thought I'd say it... But I, Britt Beahan,

like Starbucks... I really do - I like it a lot.

Except now I've got a problem.

I'm working at a new coffee shop and I'm finding myself in a pickle,

because I'd rather have Starbucks than my new coffee shop coffee!

And can I make a confession?

I've been taking my tips and going to Starbucks and getting coffee!!

It's been fine and dandy but today was the day that I got caught,

because our Starbucks just so happens to be located inside of Safeway.

But I am not ashamed! Starbucks and I had a thing before this new

cafe came to town and now that I've discovered Pumpkin Spice Lattes

there is NO turning back! :)

So that's what's up with me today.

WBoM Wednesday and Faf-Dizzle

Happy Hump-Day!

I'm joining in with Leigh Ashley again for "Wee Bit of Me Wednesday."

{one} have you ever won a trophy? if yes, for what?

I won the MVP trophy for my basketball team in 8^th grade

{two} what was your favorite subject in school?

My most favorite class in high school was Marine Biology and in college I loved my Elementary Education classes.

{three} what time do you get up in the morning?

Well since starting back up at the coffee shop I wake up at 5 to nurse Jay and then get ready and go *yuck*

{four} if you could open your own business, what would it be?

I would love to have a coffee shop. I have worked under a few owners managing coffee shops and have seen what did and didn’t work for each. I think I have a real feel for what makes a café successful and would love to have my own someday.

{five} if you could spend the evening with one rock star/band, who would it be?

Hmm… I think it would be fun to hang out with Gwen Steffani, she seems like she’s a hip mom who has it all together – maybe she’d give me some pointers ;)

{six} what sitcom character reminds you of you?

When I was younger I totally thought that DJ Tanner and I would have been best friends because we were practically the same person. I can’t think of anyone now…. Maybe Khloe Kardashian, I don’t think we look alike but sometimes when I watch their show I catch myself thinking, “that’s totally something I would say!”

{seven} what are the 3 most important things to you?

God, family, trust

{eight} chips or popcorn?

BBQ Baked Lays

{nine} have you ever ordered anything from an infomercial?

Pro-Active back in the day...

{ten} what is one thing that you are grateful for today?

Josh. For so many reasons.... plus he's super hot, which always helps!!

Also...

I got a text last week from Fafo that NBC was flying him out for the finale of America's Got Talent, not quite sure what to expect but that's usually how it goes with Faf!! So tune in tonight for some more ridiculousness by my friend Fafo.
