Here is another funny picture from our kitchen in Wildwood, Missouri back in late June of 2018. Joey was holding his phone up to take a quick selfie of us, and I made the best surprised face when I looked at the screen. I was still wearing my bright pink hat and that hilarious dog t-shirt while we were just hanging out by the counter. Joey has his usual serious look going on in his blue shirt and glasses, which just makes my silly reaction look even funnier next to him. I love looking back at these random moments because they show how much fun we always had just being together at home.

Monsters in the Booth The scarier side of date night. Joey Montes unleashing the "monster claws" while Dawne tries to keep a straight face (and fails). These black and white frames from Wentzville prove that even in formal wear, you can't take life too seriously.

Here is a very playful trip down memory lane to October of 2019! This gallery captures me really getting into the fun Halloween spirit at our old place on Heather Ridge Manor in Wentzville. I dressed up in a bright yellow bird costume and struck a series of hilarious poses with a plastic skeleton prop on the front lawn, making for a perfectly lighthearted snapshot of autumn fun.
