Haloween 2009

This is the ever anticipating day for our family. We just love watching the kids get all dressed up and trick or treating. It is so much fun every year and the kids think it is SO cool that people actually give them candy! The weather did NOT permit us to go outside very long. A windy night and a temperature in the 40s kept us outside for as minimal as possible and heading to the mall for all the fun! Sam decided she wanted to be a princess! We kept her very warm, there was no way she was going outside in a sleeveless gown! She was all smiles and absolutely loved picking out tootsie rolls from everyone. Boston & Aidan were the Hulk. It was hilarious to watch them in there costumes and act mad. Here are some pictures from this Haloween! Aidan is almost 6, Samantha is almost 3 and Boston is 17 months old!

Where has the year gone?

Another year went by, really? I cannot believe I haven't been on here in a solid year. I guess you could say the 3rd child through me for a loop. Life has been unbelievably busy. My soon-to-be-husband (YES, we are finally tieing the knot REALLY soon) has 2 older boys which keep us plenty occupied with Soccer, Cross Country, Basketball and Football.

Our past year has been filled with so many exciting and precious moments. Boston has grown up so much. He now says "Hi" and "Bye" to everyone, feeds himself in his high chair, follows his younger sister around and copies everything she says and does. It's not always the best but for the most part it is adorable to watch him be a little "Sam follower."

Miss Samantha has grown up so much. She was fully pott trained just shy of 21/2 years old. She has been a big girl wanting no help. The past year she has gone from 20lbs to 27lbs. Nearly every day she asks for Pizza. She absolutely loves pizza!!! Along with playing with her babies, cooking in her grocery store and playing with legos, she has grown into a delightful little human being and I am looking forward to the many more adventures that come.

Aidan started Kindergarten this year and he is such a big boy now! Aidan learned how to ride his bike this summer and he loves to run. He loves to write and is learning to read. He absolutely loves his sister and brother and doesn't leave for school until he hugs and kisses both. He has really set a great example for his little brother and sister. We are so proud of him. This past year we made many short trips to Games, Zoos, the mall, Kansas City, Omaha, Virginia, Amusement parks and all of the other typical toddler trips.

We recently found a church that we really like and are starting fresh there. Our kids will be in Awana and we're very excited for them! Life is good! I hope this catches you up! As for me, I'm just another year older and dreading the big 30! Other than that, I couldn't be happier. I'm so lucky to have my family.

Here are some pictures from the past year since I have neglected my blog!
