a day with emma

The past couple of weeks have been so much fun since little emma came into town! She has the most SAS of anyone I've ever known! Her and my oldest one are the best of friends or could be the best team of mischiefs I've ever seen:) But most of all they're cousins who love to play. Emma lives far far away in vegas and we will miss her when she leaves tomorrow:(
So here is a little preview of what today consisted of....

thanksgiving and such...

So apparently I am not posting as often as I should be! It's been crazy busy and now that the thansgiving weekend is almost over, we can breathe a little...and then it's christmas before you know it!! I had a wonderful thanksgiving filled with lots of blessings. I am so grateful for my amazing family. For my kids.... and most importantly my husband...my best friend:) I love this time of year because in between all the shopping and gift wraping and gatherings, I can sit back and be thankful for how blessed i am in my life. As we drove to grandma's house tonight we got to see the christmas lights that were already up on houses in our neigborhood. The kids loved it!! And it made me feel that christas cheer! I wanted to get out and dance to chritmas music, but since it's like 35 outside, I'm good sitting in a nice warm house! Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season! I hope to post more pictures soon.....

another one of my favorite families and closest friends.... we had a lot of fun with this little guy!! He would giggle and laugh on command and it was the cuttest thing! And he loved to run, run, run!!! I wish we could all have the energy he does! Congrats on the little brother/sister on the way!! Dade will be an awesome big brother!!

My little brother got married!! It was a beautiful ceremony on a perfect October evening. His beautiful bride Nicole looked stunning! I have such a sweet and loving sister-in-law and we are all so glad she took this leap and joined our family:) Here's to a long life full of laughs and love together. Congrats you guys!!

november pic of the month

This little girl was so much fun to watch! And who wouldn't love to just kiss those cheeks all day long! And the outfit!! I couldn't choose any other picture for the month but these cute ones from little miss emma...

trick or treat!

We spent halloween at my parent's house where we have a traditional dinner in a pumpkin! Then the kids get all ready and we get to tote around in a wagon and the kids love it!! the whole neigborhood is blocked off which meant tons of kids and no cars! We had a blast! Thanks HAPPY & PAPPY!!

Here are the cuttest halloween bags ever that happy and pappy gave each granchild, along with their names on the back

Happy getting the monkey ready

cute cute cute grandkids!!! Baby Caden was sooo good and really enjoyed the lights and decorations people had!

So, we had a problem with the Leapord... everytime we would go up to a door and say trick or treat, he would just walk right into the house like "where's the party!" It was sooo funny:)

And the famous wagon that they just loved!!! It was so much fun and we can't wait until next year! Although I CAN wait for the candy part! That's the first thing they asked for when they woke up this morning!!
