Mr. David @Mr. Gold's Violin Shop

You have no idea how long it took me to get him to sit in that chair for a SPLIT SECOND.. -_-

Just a FEW pics I couldn't resist the cellos in the back for a pic!

Plus I'm a little in love with the B&W setting on my camera, the contrast always turns out awesome. :)

^His obvious feelings about me taking his picture..

 Being silly :P

 And OF COURSE being studly ;)

 <3

HAPPY HALLOWEEN / BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!

Well nasty weather or not we still ended up getting to TRICK OR TREAT!

Thank goodness! This Mama was NOT a happy camper

when I didn't think we'd get to go take our Elmo out

to show him off, lol. It was only his 2nd Halloween

I didn't wanna miss it!

Plus we didn't manage to get to a pumpkin patch to pick out

pumpkins and take pics or carve a pumpkin so this was our last Halloween hoorah!

And OF COURSE

I only got a few pics taken too busy watching little man have fun. :)

Didn't catch any pics of Aunt Riley she had Heelies on

&wastes no time getting that candy! XP

And too busy huffing and puffing this preggo belly up and down the street. -_-

Can't imagine if I had actually dressed up it may have been worse lol.

On the plus side the weather was cool FOR ONCE,

Bubba wasn't tooo scared to go get his candy

&he didn't freak out wanting his costume off!.:)

Overall night=SUCCESS

(Some pics came out better than others=my iphone vs my actual camera :P)

David all dressed up ready to rock &roll! Haha :D

My two best boys <3 <3

My handsome Elmo!

 David &&his Nonnie  :)

 Aubry Layne all dolled up! :)

Miss Kacie &Jancoth

&Kevin the Bumblebee!

Trick-or-treating with his Aunt Kacie :D

Chilling in his wagon Nonnie brought for this very reason! Haha :P

We also got to stop by Grandma &Grandpa's to see them,
Mimi &Aunt Marissa after trick-or-treating!
We didn't get to stay long cause it was already getting to be bedtime
&we were all exhausted from all that walking.. :(
But here's Bubba and his Aunt Marissa
Mimi caught a pic of them!

Then got to stop by Popo &Grandma's house
so they could see his little costume before heading home,
course by then David was ready to be out of it
and relaxing! Lol :P

Hehem, on a side note it was also MY BIRTHDAY!

Not that I was too worried about that part. :P

Was just glad we got to see family and

little man got to have his fun dressing up and trick-or-treating! :)

Hubby didn't skip it though

got me some Wingstop and this freaking delicious

fudge brownie cheesecake beforehand..

 and took me to Barnes &Noble the next day after our date night at Olive Garden!

to get some yummy hot chocolate &books <3

Love that man <3

These 3 were the day AFTER Halloween

David decided he wanted to keep wearing his costume

around the house..

My cutiepie :))

This one he told Elmo ni-night, kissed his hand

and put it on Elmo's head.. XD

This little boy cracks me up.. :)

Well that's all I've got this year but I'm sure next year will be a WHOLE

different story with twoo boys and a not-so-preggo

Mama that can actually keep up and dress up!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY! :)

Presents All Around! (Kacie's Party)

As well as Logan's 2nd birthday party day,

it was also one of my baby sister's SWEET 16 party day!!!

It still blows my mind how fast these kiddos are growing up

and that means I'm finally starting to get older.. -_-

(Although I'll still deny it!)

Once again I didn't get as many pics as I wanted to
on account of partying so hard XP
But here's a few of the birthday girl!

Happy happy happy Birthday to my beautiful sister

KACIE DANIELLE :D

 Mom set up a THE BOMB party with
PINK
literally everywhere!
Perfect for a young lady turning her sweet 16! :)
Lucky us got hotdogs and snacks twice in one day <3
David was so digging the pink balloons everywhere &the hawaiian punch!

Her cake came out awesome looking &I think
my baby sis def got the party she deserved. :)

(Thanks to our awesome event planning Momma!
Don't think there's a party that woman can't throw. XD)

Happy Birthday Kacie!!! <3
We love you!

Presents All Around! (Logan's Party)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN JAMES !!!

Today was Mr. Logan's 2nd birthday party!

It was the cutest "How To Train Your Dragon" themed

&&he seemed to definitely enjoy his day :)

I didn't get too many pics since we were busy having fun

&I put my camera down at one point &completely

forgot about the pics I had planned to take.. -_-

He had little cupcakes, a dragon pinata, little dragon figures everywhere,

foam shields &swords(the boys favorite part!

They had quite a battle with Logan's Gigi XD),

viking helmets(which they had a love-hate relationship with haha),

plenty of delicious kool-aid squeezes(most of us adults favorite part XP),

dogs &burgers &a great big moon bounce for the kiddos &Daddy's

to run all their energy out on sliding down. :)

LJ sure knows how to throw a party!

 Big boy making his wish!
He actually had Mommy relight his candles a couple times,
getting as many wishes as he could! ;)

 Tearing presents up=always the best part :P

LJ &Daddy checking out his hugging Elmo :D

What better gift for a toddler than a giant Elmo?!

David was definitely jealous :P lol

Happy 2nd birthday sweet boy, hope you had as much fun as we did. :)

And his name shall be...

Our peanut has a name!

LUCAS ROBERT :)

(this is Lucas at 23 weeks &2days-Sept. 26, 2013)

So excited just saying his name now vs babyboy! :P

Can't wait till he gets here with us, he's already loved so much. <3

Naming a 2nd baby was much harder than the 1st! Lol, had to not

only match it with our last name and our names

but his big brother's name!

But think we finally found the perfect one. :)

Just now for the fun of it looked up what his name means this is what I found..

Lucas = Light of God-Bringer of Light

Robert(after his great great Grandpa, my Papa :)) = Bright-Famed-Famous

I don't look too much into name meanings heck mine means Little King.. :/

But here's to my little man..

<3 <3 <3

Hi-yah!

Today was Riley's karate graduation!

She graduated from a yellow belt to an orange belt today,

SO PROUD!

We've made it both times and I'm still impressed with

how much these kiddos learn in a short period. :)

We got to see them take down their instructors thru a series

of moves that would help them if they were ever grabbed by

a stranger so they could disarm and escape.

Which lets be honest is pretty dang handy to know these days.

Plus these kids know how to kick butt so it was pretty fun to watch! XP

Family Time

This is gonna be mostly a picture post from our day at the park. :))

Jon &I got our hair cuts and we decided it was so pretty out we

just had to take little man to the park for some family time. <3

Yes alot of them are in B&W, obviously my favorite

setting on my lovely camera.. <3

 1st pic I finally caught of him in his Texans shirt

from his Mimi :D

 Hanging out on the porch @the hair cutter's.

 Hubby obviously PRE-haircut o_O
