..halloween 2012..

Everyone's favorite holiday is Halloween right? Well at least everyone I know lol, I could not make up my mind on what I wanted my kids to be. That sounds so wrong, notice how I said 'I' and didn't even consider the fact that maybe what I wanted wasn't what my kids wanted. Well at least my daughter that is. We went to a couple of Halloween stores to shop around for some ideas, my daughter is such a damn tomboy it scares me! So we looked around and I kept leading her to where the princesses and fairies were because they're girly and cute! My daughter would just look at me and say, 'no mommy'. Kasey could see that I was losing my patience so he said just to let her go and sooner or later she'll find what "she" wants. 

So she takes Kasey's hand and pulls him to where the ninjas were. I really wanted to cry, but this only meant one thing. We had to make her the cutest girliest ninja!! I had fun putting her costume together. At the end of the night, things weren't as bad as I thought it'd be, sometimes you need to let your kids grow on their own and not hover over them. This is one of the many lessons I've learned being a parent.
So my daughter wanted to be a ninja and my son didn't have a choice! I dressed him as the old man from the movie 'up'. I had so much fun putting their costumes together, I used things around the house and all together both of my kids costumes came to $30! $15 for Mane's, $8 for her ninja gear that came with everything, $4 for her false lashes that she didn't even wear, and $3 for her weapons. My son's one piece from Target was $12 and $3 for his balloons and glasses from the dollar store! They loved their costumes and so did mommy and daddy's wallet lol.

We went to the mall and Jordan Landing for trick-or-treating and then my sister's dance group had a Halloween party as well. We ended the night early because it was getting cold and there's a bunch of creeps nowadays lol. Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!! It's so exciting because that only means the Holidays are getting closer!! I cannot wait!! Happy Halloween bloggers!!

..wrapping up the summer of 2012..

This blog is long overdue, I meant to do this earlier but better late than never right? As any other summer, this one has been by far the best! There's a million reasons why and I can sit here and explain in detail as to why and how that is. But I'll keep it short and simple and highlight what really made my summer of 2012 the best!

I'm pretty sure you know the first reason, yes that would be my son! Kasey and I are so blessed to have received another child in addition to our crazy daughter. My son has made such a difference in so many ways and has taken my little family to places I thought we'd never go. It's so crazy to think that we have 2 kids now! Wow, there is no greater joy that could compare to having your own little mini me's running around and raising them as well. I thank God everyday (not always in prayer) for my children and my soon to be husband that really do make my life worth living!

Another reason is that both Kasey and I have really became closer with our little brother. Sad, right? Lol, when we first got together, we didn't really do much for our brothers. But after seeing how great they are with our kids, and how loving they are? It really makes me emotional, my brother is 11 and Kasey's brother is 10, I never thought boys their age can be so delicate and loving with babies! I love that our children look up to our brothers and are comfortable with them. Now, almost every weekend, it's always a family date and our 'adopted sons' lol. We'll do bowling, raging waters, movies, and just going to dinner with them, I have to admit, we're kind of spoiling them lol we even bought them back to school supplies, clothes, and backpacks! I felt they deserved every bit of it :) I love you Hinx and Kene!!

Of course, there were some bumps along the way but what's life without a little bit of drama? BORING!! lol, hopefully by the time summer of 2013 comes around, I can feel comfortable walking around in my 2 piece lol!! We'll have to see, enjoy some pictures bloggers! Until then!!

..updates for my followers..

My son has grown so much! He is now 4 months, yes I know he looks like he's 9 months tho lol. Words cannot come close as to how I feel about this little person, he has such an amazing personality for such a tiny being! I love coming home to his smile! He is everything and more to me, it's sad to say but I get so easily emotional just thinking of my son. The reason I say, 'sad', is because I don't get as emotional when it comes to my daughter. OMG that sounds so rude! But any mother who has a son can relate, don't get me wrong, I love both my children equally. My son is a momma's boy and my daughter is most definitely a daddy's girl! So I guess you could say they're even right?! Well here are just a few recent pictures of my little man! Enjoy :)
