I love my children!

Some day's are more frustrating that words can describe, but there are moments like these that I live for. My two children are the most amazing details of my life (my husband too) they give me something to live for. I strive to be a better person and mom because of them. I am truly thankful I have been blessed with their sweet spirits in my life.

Every year our street has a Halloween block party, over the past two years it has grown. Not all of these children live on our street, but they live near by.


Peyton started off wanting to be Hannah Montana but when I took her to get her costume she changed her mind the second she saw those wings! She came up with combining the idea of a rock star (Hannah) and a fairy. Thus making her a rock star fairy! I made the skirt, and found some fake eye lashes that were purple and sparkly. We braided her hair and spray painted it pink and added a fake pink and purple hair clip. She Rocked!!!

Logan, too was going to be something completely different he was going to be a Army Man, but after seeing a Lightning McQueen costume at the Disney Store, he was determined to be a race car driver! And the best part the $70 costume was on sale $10, major score for me. He was so cute! At the last minute he decided to add his tricycle to the costume (making it his car). A button on the costume when pushed made lights flash and a race car zooming noise. He pushed the button and rode that bike with speed. He was more interested in the race than the candy. It was so much fun watching him.

Computer Time

My children love the computer. Logan even knows how to operate it and is on it all of the time. He loves Starfall.com, if any one is unfamiliar with this sight, it is a phonics based learning web site that is totally FREE! It starts with the basic alphabet and then gets as advanced as helping the kids read books, poems and plays. It is amazing check it out!

I would love your impute on what web sites or computer games you have purchased that are academically based and promote learning. I am wanting to expand my children's computer time to more programs.

Good Byes are Hard!

Jeni we are going to miss you! This mime is doing what we all have been doing for weeks every time we see Jeni. I know Jeni hates this picture, but this is how we all have felt since we knew she was moving and especially now that she is gone!

Friends Forever!

Sleaping Beauties

The kids were too quiet for their own good so I went up to check on them. They had fallen asleep on the bed, and they were holding hands. So I ran down stairs to get the camera when I got back up Logan had rolled over. Thus making them look like cherubs twins and I began snapping away!
