This is what you get when you put a Cupcake in front of a Dinosaur...

Yup, she wasn't the happiest cupcake when asked to sit and pose for a photo with her Dino brother! After a few photo's (which NONE of them came out with a smile on her face) we headed out.

Micah decided he wanted to be a dinosaur this year, specifically a Quetzalcoatlus (pretty much a pterodactyl), but became frustrated when people kept calling him a dragon, or some other random flying character, by the end of the night he just went with whatever people were calling him. I mean come on doesn't everyone know what a Quetzalcoatlus is?? ...I still can't even pronounce that darn dinosaur!

Kapri was my little cupcake. She was too cute, and after getting through the horrific torture of taking pictures that her parents made her sit through, she was a happy camper being able to follow Micah... then it was dinner time and we had to immediately head home or the wrath of a hungry cupcake was going to come down upon us.

Micah was AWESOME this year, I say that because last year the first house we hit scared the bageeeesussss out of him so he was too scared to knock on anybody's door! Not this year, he ran around like a mad man forgetting what to say when he came up to a door, it was either "Happy Halloween", "thank you" (before he even got the candy) or "trick-or-treat".

other face... with the artist!

Here is the final product of our pumpkins!

FYI...Quetzalcoatlus - (/kwɛtsəlkoʊˈætləs/) ...huh?

Happy Halloween!

Giving Thanks...Kapri's Surgery and Recovery.

You know that sinking, useless, hopeless feeling you get when one of your children are sick or hurt? Those feelings were almost more than I could take when I went to take Kapri in for her 15 month check up on Tuesday morning and ended up in surgery Tuesday night... A little over two weeks ago Kapri began to limp on her right leg and after noticing I kept an eye on it and it would differ day to day. Sometimes it wasn't even noticeable as she would run back and forth from her brother or just in her play. Other times is was so noticeable I found myself holding her more than I ever had (after she learned how to walk). I decided that it was time to call the Dr. and see what his thoughts were. So Friday (18th) we got her in. The typical questions like, did she fall, was she pushed at school, does she have a temp, etc. Since NONE of these symptoms seemed to be the case he wanted me to just keep her on Motrin and since she had her 15 month check up on Tuesday (22nd) he felt like h

What a day...

Just had to share my day from yesterday... Morning was great, minus the IPhone alarm clock that is named "Wake Up, Really Wake up and get your running shoes on"... really I named it that thinking that it would give me motivation. Seeing on how I run in the afternoon every day, I don't think it works, but I'll keep trying. every day. every morning. Sigh. Work was short as I had 2 hitting lessons scheduled so I had to get home to get set up... then it started. I saw at the office that the clouds were building in the general direction of my house, so I thought maybe there would be a chance that the lesson's would have to be canceled (I don't usually wish for this but I really wanted to spend the evening with the kids). The lighting and thunder was ridiculous! So I started to make my way and saw this... Then it occurred to me "oh $#!T" I left the equipment out, so I put the medal to the pedal and raced home. (Don't worry Mom, I didn't break

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we
