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.

Cupcake Kapri...missing the "cherry on top" hat.

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!

1 pumpkin...2 faces!

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 (...

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year, especially with Micah as he is fully aware of these characters who come and leave gifts throughout the year. This year the Easter Bunny left a trail of eggs in the hallway leading up to a candy filled Easter basket (I cringe thinking of the next dentist visit!). Matt and I loved hearing his little feet run through the hall and then to hear him gasp each time he found an egg was too cute! We recently became members of a new church and decided to go to mass there (we usually drive across town to our old church to go to special holiday masses with mom and dad). After mass we headed to Mom and Dad's and had an AMAZING feast! Micah was bouncing off the walls with the amount of candy he had eaten, and once again, Mom out did herself with the kids' baskets she made. Here are a few pictures!

Peace Out to Another School Year

It's so true what they say, time flies, so be carful not to blink too hard. I love seeing these first and last day pics side by side. The growth always stuns me bit and sends me into meltdown mode. I see them everyday, why do I feel like I am missing them physically grow?! My only indicators are the thinning of dimples in their cheeks and on their little hands. We say peace out to 1st and 3rd grade today, and Maddux says peace out to life in general. I am always excited for the next step, but I trend lightly as it just means another dimple is fading. 1st and Last day of the 2016-2017 School Year

Don't We Get A Dress Rehearsal?
