Halloween 09

Joseph was a Pirate

although he went through a lot of ideas

for a month he said he wanted to be a

CELERY

the vegetable

yes I know, strange right?

Here are to two before his preschool parade

Aleena said she was a Princess

but it's a 50's girl

the same one from last year

Alex and I have never dressed up together

we went to a Halloween party and went all out


Meet me- the Flower Child Hippie
and Alex- The Vampire

Joseph was not cool with his dad having a bloody mouth

he called them

"Red spilling owies"

All of our costumes were last minute, I ended up spending under 20$ on all four!

It was so fun, and we are already thinking about next year.

We went to Pumpkin Patch

we do it every year

this year there was

NO

crying, so it was a good trip

This was her first year where
she knew what was going on
last year she was just too little
but she wouldn't stop counting every pumpkin this time.



Waiting in line for the Pumpkin Train

big girl with her brother

Yes I'm the mom that dresses her kids the same,

so what~!

The Pink scary homemade elephant ride

that looked like it would fall to the ground at

any moment....

Didn't stop us from putting our kids on it though.




They had a blast, and we didn't even buy a pumpkin.

Blog, What Blog

Well we have been busy, or the truth is that I haven't been

feeling the blog.

I love reading others blogs but mine is just blah for me.

so anyway here is a bunch of randomness for you.This table set up is from September,

now it has Halloween stuff but

you wont see that until after Christmas

at the rate I'm going.

Here is a blurry pic of my big boy on

his school picture day!

Aleena is definitely reminding me she is
2, just wild and crazy all the time.
They like beanies it's like 85 but they like em.


Pumpkin faces, aka paper plates on sticks,
another random thing they LOVE

A close up of the flowers, my Mom made them for a wedding and gave me

the left overs!
So that's it for now, maybe Ill get back into it more, but for now I'm kinda in and out with

the whole blogging thing.

We will see how it goes!

A Wedding

I just love weddings

I loved my wedding

and when we get invited to one

I get really excited

It was Alex's best friends brothers wedding

The bride looked beautiful

Here's Alex with his best friends three boys

practically like family to us.





The church was gorgeous, and old traditional Catholic church

Finally married and happy too

The pretty centerpieces

this pics for my Mom she is a florist and loves to see what people have as there wedding flowers

We didn't take the kids so we had a lot of fun time together just the

two of us.

LOVED THAT

The entire family wore the wedding colors

RED AND BLACK


Another one of the boys

What a beautiful day for a wedding,

We had a blast dancing the night away.

It's a Miracle

It was a day that I dreaded

a day that made tears come to my eyes by just thinking about it,

he woke up happy and ready,

I was a little nervous

We wished him well, and made sure he knew how happy we were that he was

becoming a big school boy

We made something special for his teacher,

which he loved and couldn't wait to give her.

He might have looked a bit nervous as he waited outside his class

but it was nothing a little hug couldn't cure

Once inside he was happy as could be the

WHOLE entire time,

and he didn't even notice or care that I had left for a bit.

my picky eater wouldn't touch his snack,

but made sure to say "no thank you" when the teacher asked him if he wanted any.


he shared

he listened and so much more.

Preschool is looking to be one of the best things I have done for this big guy of mine.

I know he loves it, and I love that!

"Weny"

Aunt "Weny" (Wendie)

this ones for you

Aleena has a certain connection with her Aunt Weny

she senses when shes around,

she runs to her first out of all her relatives,

she asks about her when she is not with us.

when I was pregnant with Aleena
Aunt Weny made this dress for her
until now it didn't fit
it fits!
I love it
it is so beautiful
just like her


Aunt Weny held my hand while they gave me the epidural,
Aunt Weny talked me through the long process of labor,
Aunt Weny smuggled cookies and Mountain Dew into the delivery room when they told me I could not eat,
Aunt Weny is always there
for me
and my Family




Aunt Weny this ones for you and
all
that you do



the dress is beautiful
the memory of opening it at my baby shower better
and seeing Aleena in it is the BEST
Thank You
Weny
we love you!

Lazy afternoons

My kids love to be outside

what kid doesn't

we usually go out at least once a day

it's been so hot lately.

We have a long driveway

but the sun hits it almost all day with

NO shade.

After she wakes from her nap we put on our shoes and head out

she usually wants to sit with mommy until she wakes up a bit more

I just love the cuddles,

she is so sweet

so lovable

so kissable

I cant get enough

then she gets brave and starts to come out of

her nap coma


it's still hot so she stays close by



meanwhile her brother rides his tractor (that is not meant for riding)

crushing all the berries (random seed things that fall from the tree) on the drive way.

We love our lazy afternoons

although it would be better if we could get some shade,

but we will take what we can get.

{HAPPY SUMMER}
