Today Chip came to me and said "mommy, you know how the presents are my favorite part of Christmas?" and I said "yes". He said "well not anymore. My real favorite part is sharing and loving my family."
I was soooooo proud of him. He is such a sweet boy. My favorite part of Christmas is being with family too. I love my family and wish we were together more often. Here are some pictures from my family Christmas get together. We had wonderful time together. I love these people!!!!

Christmas is Coming

It happens so quickly every year! The days and weeks fly by and before you know it Christmas is here. I wish I could slow it down. We have finished almost all of our shopping and wrapping. Actually my hubby does all the shopping and wrapping so I'm quite blessed. We went to his company Christmas Party last night and it was wonderful. Good food, wine and friends. The house is decorated and soon Santa will be here. I'm so excited to watch Carson this year on Christmas morning. He understands what is going on this year and I think he will have so much fun! All my boys are getting big, so I'm trying to enjoy all the sweet moments of the holidays before they are gone.

Here are a few pictures of the snow, the boys being silly by the tree and one of Kevin and I before his party. Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday

To All the Mommies

I snagged this from someone elses blog and wanted to share it with you....

You’re up all night with a screaming baby

You run all day at the speed of life

And every day you feel a little bit less

like the beautiful woman you are

So you fall into bed when you run out of hours

and you wonder if anything worth doing got done

Well maybe you just don’t know

or maybe you’ve forgotten

That you, you are changing the world

one little heartbeat at a time

Making history with every touch and every smile

Oh you, you may not see it now

but I believe that time will tell

how you, you are changing the world

one little heartbeat at a time

With every, “I know you can do it”and every tear that you kiss away

So many little things that seem to go unnoticed

they’re just like the drops of rainover time, they become a river

And you, you are changing the world

one little heartbeat at a time

Making history with every touch and every smile

Oh you, you may not see it now

but I believe that time will tell

how you, you are changing the world

one little heartbeat at a time

You’re beautiful, so beautiful

how you’re changing the world,

yeah you’re changing the world

You, you are changing the world

one little heartbeat at a time

So yes I'm a little behind in posting the kids in their halloween costumes. Things have been busy around here. So here ya go......

First up we have Chip as the Scream Guy!! Spooky!


We also had Carson as a stud football player! So Cute!


And last we had Cayden as the King of Rock and Roll......ELVIS!!!! He was super cute and kept saying "what's shaking my man" to anyone who would listen. This kiddo is gonna be a star.

Pumpkin Patch

Today I got to take Chip and Carson to the Pumpkin Patch with a good friend of mine and her kids. We had so much fun. The weather was beautiful and the ground was dry! The kids loved playing in the bounce houses, climbing on haystacks and taking pictures with all the cool cutouts they had. Chip loves the hay maze that they have there as well. Cayden went to his mom's this weekend so we missed him A LOT at the pumpkin patch. Things are just more exciting when Cayden is around. Hopefully he can go with us next year. I just love fall! The weather, the holidays and spending time with family. We had a great day!

Happy Birthday to You!

My baby turned 2 on Saturday. Where does the time go? I started this blog one year ago. My first post was about his 1st birthday and here we are one year later. My little 2 year old is quite a handful these days. He is very talkative and very demanding. He knows what he wants and isn't afraid to tell you! He is finding his independence very quickly. He is a great source of joy in my life. Carson is such a fun kiddo. He makes me laugh all the time. He bubbles over with happiness and loves his family a lot. I am so blessed to have him as a son and I try to treasure every small moment we have together. I know this time together and these toddler years will be gone before I know it, so I plan on soaking up every drop of cuteness this boy has to offer. I love you Carson Jack!
