Heavy Heart...

My blogging friend's little boy is beginning his journey Home... Please help me pray for him and his family and that Gavin finds peace at last. He has been an amazing little fighter and he has touched my life and heart!

Our Halloween, Collage Style!

we had a great time this year! the weather was beautiful! mason enjoyed going with us in his stroller (with a sucker or two to taste along the way:). His costume ended up being a tad small (he WASN'T supposed to be wearing shorts LOL! so we had back up skeleton sweats for the chill) Jaiden had fun being - what we called - an extremely socially inept person a.k.a. nerd... LOL! My sis and I dressed up as vampire victims-of either Vampire Bill, Vampire Sheriff Eric or Edward... we'll take either one-or one of each LOL! ;). and I LOVED being with my family, watching all of our kids enjoy trick or treating together as we did when we were kids! can't wait til' next year!

Hope yours was just as nice!

Birthday Boy Pics :)

Happy 2nd Birthday my little one! :)

how did mason get that rash on his face?

LOL! he cried every time I took him off the grass.. so... I let him at it!

Guess who is celebrating his 2nd birthday later today :)? rash and all! :)

Missing........

Three Innocent Pumpkins!

This one was my favorite because it was shaped like Mason's head :) lol!

The last photo of all of our pumpkins together....

The evidence.. stupid wooden 'head stone' left on the porch

More evidence

The lone survivor will be taken into protective custody to a secret location. He will be lit and enjoyed by trick or treaters tonight! We have not been beaten! We will carry on!!

:) If you had any question whether I'm Flakey or not... I think this post might have answered that for ya! :)

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin....uh.... Patch?

My sister and I took the kiddos to a farm where they had games, rides, and PUMPKINS! We had a pretty good time! Here are some pics!

Queen of the hay pyramid :)

She's definitely corny (she takes after her dear ol' auntie :)

On the teeter totter...:) she was worried that I wouldn't be a fun teeter partner...one GIANT guess why LOL!

My sister had to get on to help her lift me... and well... they fell off the teeter totter trying to do just that! (Don't kill me Amie!) LOL!

Notice how I instantly dropped the camera to help her out... Sister of the year award goes to moi'

Making a corn angel! oh yes, she is her Aunt's niece fo sho'!
Jaiden going down the slide (he was quite embarrassed to see some cute 12 years olds girls giggling at him.. he didn't go on again LOL!)

This guy was a tad creepy.. he stared at us as if he would like to munch on us.... LOL!

candy corny!

taking a nibble!

YAY! PUMPKINS!

Mason missed out on the Pumpkin farm because of tummy issues.. he and Daddy stayed home and watched football! But he had a lot of fun feeling the pumpkins when we brought them home! and he LOVED the concrete!

aawwee!
