Dear November...

Dear November,
Please, please, please forgive me for I hath not forsaken you. I know that I only posted once during Sweet November (in regards to October 31st), but let it be known that you still are one of my favorite months. In fact...November is my favorite month!!! Christmas music is on the radio... cooler weather ...foliage...gingerbread lattes...the list goes on. Anyhow, alot of things went on during the month of November that I never got around to posting.

1. Leah mastered the art of walking (like a frat boy after a long day of tailgating!).

2. Trip to Tampa for a wedding (Jamie & Mike).

3. Trip to Disney during the week of Thanksgiving........

(Warning - there are alot of pictures, so prepare yourself.)

Last day at Magic Kingdom...Nate got a driver's license!!!

Let it be known that it took me over three days to post all these pictures because I rarely have enough time to sit in front of the computer for long enough stretches to download. I'm beat!!!! :)

Happy Halloween!

I still love trick-or-treating!!!! In fact, it may be even more fun now that I'm an adult. I get to dress my kids up in cheesy costumes and reap the benefits....CANDY!!!! Yes, I admit....I'm one of those mothers who goes raiding through their kids bags to snatch a butterfinger or two. I actually think that I've digging in Nate's loot more than he has. Oops!

Anyhow, this Halloween has been the best year since having kids, because Nate had a blast. We went with Nate's two best buds, Jack & Luke. Nate dressed as a T-rex and Leah as a fairy. Of course....everyone thought Nate was an alligator and that Leah was a butterfly. I can't seem to get it right with these costumes, because I dressed Nate as a dragon last year and Leah as a kitty cat, and everyone thought they were a lizard and skunk!!!!!!!! Seriously!!!! Well aside from that.....everything was a great. My mom held her annual Halloween party which Ty, Bebe, Nate, Leah, and I attended. We all ate waaaaaay to much and the kids stayed up waaaaaay past their bed time!!! Frigged!

I'm really having a hard time typing this because my brain is suffering from sugar overload. What I really want to be doing right now is running circles in my back yard!!!!! :) Peace!

The whole gang...Leah is slightly distracted. Oh well.

Nate with Leah in a choke hold. Awwww! :)

Aftermath....

The aftermath from a full day of wearing pigtails. Finally walking....it only took her 13 months!!!

Leah finally has enough hair that I can do something with. What else better than some pigtails?!!!! Love it!!!!

Chub Pout

I've got a lot more pictures to post, but I have a gym appointment that I can't miss. Check back later for some more pictures of the kids. :)

This is how we do it!

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. It was a big deal in my home growing up and we always had a good time celebrating the BOO fest. Anyhow, here's how we do it.....

P.S. I love it how he used the Beatles "Yesterday" music. :)

Glee

I love the new show Glee, which got me to thinking....

I like to introduce you to one of Glee's future talents.....

These are few shots from Ty's portfolio, which is a work in progress. We are currently working on his head shots. Ty possesses many skills, but his strengths are song and dance. He doesn't have any professional training...all self taught! He's got a mean toe touch and the moves of a Chippendale. He can strum a guitar with the best of them (this is true). He's been known to sing in the shower a time or two. The list goes on.....

BTW...I'm gonna catch some heat for posting these pictures, but I couldn't resist!

I caught Ty in a funny mood and started snapping pics! HA!!!!!

That's my man! Love him! :)
