Happy Halloween

I hope everyone has a fun and safe night of Tricks and Treats!

Happy Halloween :)

Neverland.......

Finally Ethan in his costume.......  I finally got him to pose for me, and it lasted about two seconds :)  Well at least I got two great ones, he is so dreamy as my little Captain Hook!  It is good that Captain Hook is a little mean, because he looks a little grumpy ;)

Awesomeness.....

This is me and my bestest friend Al!  Aren't we just so freakin photogenic?  

Bling baby, BLING!

Okay I got this top for the holidays!  I am shiny like a Christmas ornament :)  Bry hates it, but who asked him anyways.  Bling baby, bling!  I love sparkles :)

Dear Santa.....

So yesterday I decided to sit down with my kids and see what they wanted for Christmas this year.  I am a little behind on things, since I usually am almost completely done shopping by now :)  I know I'm crazy, but I don't like hectic shopping at the last minute.  I am one of those people whose heart races if I am going to be late somewhere!  This was definitely the first year that I had NO idea what my kids really wanted.  So we sat down and talked and then looked at items on the internet to see what they were talking about :)  Ethan is the easiest kid on the PLANET!  His list consists of three things:  A remote control car (the ones like Kikki took to the cabin), cars (can I have a truck and a trailer?), and legos (a cabin and a boat one).  Wow, that is super duper easy peasy!!!!  Now Kylie has a bit longer list, but her birthday is also a month before Christmas so we have to plan for that too.  She would like:  the Barbie glam vacation home, new Barbie furniture, a new Ken (since Ethan took her old ones head off), a Barbie car, and a Barbie pool......... now here is the one I had NO idea what she was talking about...... Can I please get some Monster High dolls!   What the heck are those?  Well she took me right to their website (must have seen it on a commercial I'm guessing), Monster High dolls are like Barbie or Bratz, but they're monsters :) Lol, she said she would really, really like some.  Bry looked at me like I as a bit nutso when I told him.  Here is what they are:

They are kind of cute, and she showed me some of the videos on the website and they are all about teaching girls how to feel good about themselves and treat other girls kindly and all that jazz.  So I guess Santa will be looking for Monster High dolls........  I'm glad my kids don't make things too difficult :)

October Update

Ready for an October update and the rest of Kye's Rapunzel pictures?  I thought so ;)  Bry is busy with school and work, but I am glad we get to see him at least on the weekends.  I have hit my busy season, so now I have a ginormous pile of editing awaiting me each day.  Some how I've got to figure in Ethan's Halloween pictures and Kye's birthday pictures before it gets too cold (since Kye doesn't handle the cold well with picture taking).  I have been helping out in Kye's class every Tuesday and enjoy getting to see how her class runs.  I think I am her teachers only helper because each week I have an hours work of copying to do before anything else ;)  I laminated for the first time too!  It has been fun getting more involved at her school.  I worked the book fair and have been told I am helping with the entire Reflections program next year :)  Hopefully it's a better theme then this years!  Kye is doing so great in the 1st grade!  She has been scoring 100% on all of her tests every week and started spelling tests too (which she has not missed one yet!), what a smarty pants!  She is now off track so hopefully we can go get some fun in ;)  She picked out her music for her solo and starts her practices for that on the 8th.  She is just getting so big,  Bry told me yesterday he is getting sad because he doesn't want her to get big.  Below are the rest of her Halloween pictures, which she obviously ate up!  She makes one perfect Rapunzel with her big green eyes!  We shot these up by my parents cabin,  I wanted to do floating lanterns, but apparently they are a bit of a fire hazard!  Ethan has been playing T-ball, and he is awesome at it.  This has been a much better experience then soccer.  He's quite the little slugger and has the time of his life playing!  He has also started preschool with Miss Hollie again and is enjoying writing all his letters.  Sadly he missed his Johnny Appleseed party this week because he got a major case of croup :(  The poor kid gets croup way too much, which has led the doctors to believe he may have asthma.  They gave me some asthma medication to try out for the next few months.  Growing up with a mom with severe asthma has taught me a lot, so I hope he doesn't, but if so I am ready for it.  He will play outside and come in drenched in sweat.  I never thought it might be because his little body had to work harder to breathe :(  We had been discussing a puppy too, but if this is the case we will never be able to have one, or even visit houses with dogs.  I always remember my mom going to a house with a dog as a kid.  No one realizes it's a problem because she doesn't have an asthmatic reaction right there.  It is the 5 days after the event where you see her wheezing with a red raw throat that you realize she just tortured herself :(  So you can see we are hoping that is not the case.  That is pretty much us in a nutshell right now.
