CANDY TIME!!!!

The kids had a good time at the trunk or treat, they got tons of candy in just 20 minutes. Matt took Brennick, Hudson and Kaysn door to door and me Sadie and the girls did a little trick or treating until it got cold!! Emmie thought this was great everyone giving her candy she had her hand in her bucket the whole time trying to eat through all the wrappers!! It was a good night for trick or treating the weather was great and the kids got a lot of candy..

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

The Kids Carving Pumpkins!!!



The kids love carving pumpkins!!! Brennick did his own this year and he did a great job. Hudson was so funny when we cut the lid off the pumpkin and he looked inside, he asked me What is that? I told him it is pumpkin guts. He was way excited to dig right in until he touched the pumpkin guts and started to gag and said "YUCK that is grouse!!" I did try and convince him to finish, but i think I did most of the work. Emmie just loves the pumpkins not so much the pumpkin guts or being stuck in one, but just to look at and pat the pumpkins... All of their pumpkins turned out adorable...

Happy Birthday Dad and Grandpa!!

Happy Birthday to a great and wonderful man who we call grandpa and dad!!! We hope you had a great day, we love ya tons!!! We celebrated Doug's birthday at Garcia's tonight with the family...

Halloween Time...

BRENNICK our Bloodthirsty Vampire loves Halloween and getting dressed up in anything that is scary and not to mention all the yummy candy you get. When I asked him what one reason he wanted to be a vampire was and his answer was the vampire teeth are so awesome. That would explain why in ever drawing that all the people have sharp teeth. But I was ok with it since I am a big fan of the movie Twilight or should I say Edward even Brennick thought that was a cool movie.

HUDSON our Pirate this costume is from when Brennick was little and is to cute to pass up, besides he didnt know what he wanted to be.. He loves playing the part of a pirate saying, "Give me your gold!" and he even uses his deep voice while saying it! Love this little boy to death he is such a character...

EMMERSON the cutest bumble bee ever and not to mention busy she is everywhere and has so much energy she makes me so tired. Since there has been candy around the house because its Halloween time she really thinks it pretty yummy stuff!! Only 14 months old and already has a love for sugar, looks like a big dentist bill in the future...

Halloween Parties!!!

My kids are so lucky to have wonderful grandparents who love them not to mention spoil them... This week we have had two Halloween parties back to back, talk about crazy! Thanks grandparents for all the Halloween fun and for the memories that will last a lifetime...

Grandma and Grandpa Calls Annual Halloween party was Sunday, we had yummy soups in pumpkin shaped bread bowls. The kids had such a great time playing pin the wart on the witch, being wrapped like a mummy, ring toss, eating donuts from a string,and they got a little twisted when they played spooky spin, but the part they loved the most was bobbing for apples even Emmie like it so much she got in the water and sat right down. It was a lot of fun..

Grandma and Grandpa J's Halloween party was on Monday night!! We had grandmas yummy chili and Stromboli it was a great family night we had a lot of Halloween fun. The kids played Halloween ghost and won prizes, decorated a pumpkin, and played who can light the pumpkin (Brennick got the closest) and also decorated yummy sugar cookies. It was a lot of fun for the kids and they had a good time!!

The Pumpkin Walk..

Syracuse does the pumpkin walk every year and it is a lot of fun to see all the many different carved pumpkins. It was a really warm night and the kids all had a good time!!

Look Who's 40!!!

Jeff is the BIG 40 today!!! We had a surprise birthday party at El Burrito, we had a good time and I think he was surprised... Happy Birthday Jeff, we hope you had a great 40th birthday...

A mind of his own....

Hudson wanted to get himself dressed today and this is the outfit he chose to wear, the funny thing is he thought he looked awesome. Little does he know stripes and plaid don't go together.

It was a big fight trying to get him to change thank goodness we weren't going anywhere...
He has such an opinion on what he wants to wear and he is only 3!!!!

GlItTeReD PuMpKiNs....

We glittered pumpkins and I think they turned out so cute... Now I'm just a little addicted because they are so fun to do!!!


Some of our glittered pumpkins...


My glittered pumpkin man!! Oh so Cute...

Happy Birthday To Our Sweet Little Angel!!

Meghan would have been 10 years old today, it is weird to think that I would have a child that old... I often think of her and wonder what she would be like and who she would look like. She was such a blessing to us and taught us many great thing, we love and miss her so very much!!

My mom, me and the kids went up to her grave today and then went out to lunch.

Matt is out of town for work so my mom had us over and we made homemade pizza (when I saw we I really mean Amy). I decided to go get some donuts for the birthday and when me and the boys were picking them out Hudson asked me, Are we going to heaven? (with the biggest grin on his face) I asked him why would we be going to heaven? And his answer was to sing Happy Birthday to Meghan!! I thought that was cute and if only it was that easy!!! We had a really good time tonight with the family and the boys loved glittering pumpkins, thanks all you guys for making this night so fun, love ya!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!!



Happy Birthday Mom and Grandma!!

We are so grateful for you and all that you do for our little family. You are such a kind hearted and sweet person and we love you for that... We hope you had a wonderful day because you deserve it!!! We had a great day celebrating the birthday with yummy food and the best company FAMILY... It was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon!!!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins....

It was a beautiful fall day for a hayride to the pumpkin patch!!! We took the kids to J&J Nursery to visit the pumpkin patch, I have to admit I'm a little obsession with pumpkins I don't know what it is but I love them (I know that sounds a little weird). The boys decided to go clear to the other end of the pumpkin patch in search for that "BIG PUMPKIN"!!! It was a good time...

FrIgHtMaRe FuN!

We love lagoon at this time of year, the weather is cool and all the people get dressed up it is so much fun... Most kids are scared, but not my kids they love the chainsaw guys even Emmie thought they were pretty cool!! We had a really good time...

Getting So Big, So Fast!!!

The latest on little EMMIE, she is at such a fun age and is such a go getter... She is always into something and always seems to make a BIG mess where ever she goes. She is getting two more teeth which makes a totally of 6, and she loves to use them (I am really in for it). She is such a smart little thing and has learned a few more words; Hi, Bye,Happy, Huddie, and Thank You, and of course her favorite word NO!! She is definitely a DRAMA QUEEN and knows how to get her way or at least try to get her way with her fake little cry. I love her smile and it wins me over every time. She is our PRIDE and JOY and we love her to pieces....

Football Party...

The football party was at Hungry Bear with the players and there families. The boys had a great time eating pizza and playing the video games. We had a really fun team and I really am going to miss football, it was a good time even though we only won 1 game. It is amazing how much Brennick has learned and how far he has come since the first day of football practice. I cant wait for next year, hopefully by then we can teach him it is ok to be a little meaner and hit a little harder!!

Brennicks Helmet..

After ever game Coach Swanson would give the boys stickers that they could put on their helmets for a job well done. I know it is crazy I took a picture of his helmet (I know that doesn't surprise a lot of ya), but he was upset we had to take them off to return the helmet so I took the picture for my sad boy...

Black Island Farms...

We went to Black Island Farms for a birthday party for Kobe (he is on Brennicks football team), the kids had a great time. We took a hayride out to the farmers fields where they told us about corn, carrots and onions. The kids all thought it was cool we let them eat carrots straight from the ground YUCK, they also got to take a BIG onion home. Then on to the part they all were waiting for the pumpkin patch, where the kiddos all picked them a pumpkin.

They had a fun time playing on the slides there were so many different ones, and they played on them for hours even little Em's (as you can tell by the photos). They had pig races, a pumpkin bounce house, corn maze, and so much more. It was our first time going and we all had a BLAST, what a great way to start off the Halloween season....
