Rare

Had to share, a VERY rare shot with:
A) Kids looking at the Camera
B) Looking at the same time
C) Not hurting one another
D) SMILING!!!

We have had professional pictures taken TWICE in the last 5 months and neither photographer (not for lack of trying or for their amazing skills) were able to get this to happen. It is the little things that I have to LOVE!

Happy Halloween!

The kids had a blast trick or treating tonight. Ashton made a game time decision and decided to be a Transformer and throw Superman to the side for now. As for Reese, she was the cutest little Reese's Peanut Buttercup that was seen on Halloween. I think he costume was a winner as when most people saw her they scrambled to find a Reese's Cup or Reese's Pieces to give her. She quickly got into Trick or Treating and prefered sticking her hand into people's bowls and hold her pieces of candy rather than putting them in her bag. It was a great night!

Reese's school outfit and Ashton showing us his Transformers gear:


Excuse the blurry picture, but it is the only one with the mask on I could get

Loading up in the wagon for Trick or Treating....Ashton was super excited, Reese, a bit distracted

Reese and Mo & going with Daddy to the first house....soon enough she was running up sidewalks to keep up with her brother....hard to believe at this time last year she was four months and trying rice cereal for the first time...a far cry from the chocolate and sweets she got this year.

Halloween Preview

A little Halloween preview....we had our neighborhood party this weekend and the kids got a chance to put on their costumes before Halloween. Thank goodness because Ashton has been asking everyday if it is Trick or Treat day. This year Ashton decided he wanted to be Superman and I decided Reese would be non other than....a Reese's Candy Bar. Thank you Kathy for making the cutest costume out of a pillow! We had a blast and after the pony rides and petting zoo both kids enjoyed snow cones and playing at the park. We can't wait for tomorrow night!

Field Trip

Today was a great day. I took the day off from work to spend it with Ashton and his class for their first field trip. It was at the Oil Ranch, and yes, we were just there less than a week ago but we actually did different stuff for the most part. Ashton had a great time and it was a perfect weather day to be out in. I had a great time getting to know some of the other mom's and getting to know Ashton's teachers better. He LOVES going to school and had so much fun today.



Ashton and his best friend Brendan. They aren't in the same class on Tuesday/Thursday but still get to see each other every MWF.

See ya next time folks!

Seven

Seven Years....and still going strong. Hard to believe it has been SEVEN years since we said "I Do" to each other. Casey, I love you more each day, if that is even possible. Life is an unbelievable ride that no one can prepare you for. I am so happy to have my best friend with me along the way for all the ups and downs. You still make me laugh and smile more than anyone else can. And to top it off you gave me this:

The two most precious children that are truly the best parts of both you and me. I love you and look forward to 50, 60, 70 more years together! Happy Anniversary!

King of King's Festival

On Thursday at Ashton's school they got to attend the "King of King's Festival." The kids could dress up as princes, knights or princess' and then they got to walked through different booths and participate in various activities. Casey and I surprised Ashton at school when it was his class' turn to go through the festival. His class was adorable all dressed up and they had a great time.
