Spidey Halloween!!

Our spooky dinner consited of chichen salad sand-witches, spider dip (salsa with a sour cream web), spooky eyeballs (oreo truffles), mummies (above) and leaf cookies.
 Getting ready to walk around with G'ma!
 Practicing throwing webs with our big muscles!!
 
 Funniest moments of the night...
1. At every house she would announce that her bag was "almost full to the top!"
2. Charlotte loved the spooky decorations and music, Caden did not!
3. Caden's foot fell asleep at one point and he kept "shh"ing people so as not to wake his foot!

My American Girl's Girl

Mimi and Granddaddy stayed for the week to help Mommy take care of a few necessary things! While they were here we went to the American Doll Store to celebrate Charlotte's birthday... what a fun day!!
She tried out EVERY display doll, then quickly set up shop playing with the Itty Bitty Twins. We had planned to get her the infant doll but she fell in love with the dolls that had hair. So we went against the plan and got just the little girl twin.
This was quite an exhausting experience but such a special one :) This trip to the American Girl Store was a dream come true... I had always, always wanted one, so it is fun to share this special event with Charli!
My American Girl's Girl... Charlotte named her baby "Charlotte" and calls her "Sissy."
 Happy BEEday Chocolate Cake!
Love, love love!

Happy Bee-day!

Our BEEautiful Charli Kate is three... how quickly the time passes. I remember just yesterday how I held you in my arms at the hospital, in awe, not quite believing that you had come from me because you were such a beauty but still knowing that you were mine. Perfect weight, perfect skin tone, perfect eyes, perfect fingers and toes, perfect eater, perfect baby smell. Simply perfect. With you, we felt complete. I thank GOD everyday that we spend together. You are so sweet and funny. Always, always thinking outside of the box, doing the unpredictable and doing it well! You challenge me more than anyone student ever has and that is a great thing. You are most special!!
 We celebrated Charlotte's third birthday at the house with an intimate crowd. Her theme was bumble bees!
Brunch goodies including cream cheese filled STINGERS, homemade bumbleBEE nutella pop-tarts, unBEElievable susauge egg and cheese buicuit cups, HONEYcombs, HONEY pretzels and yogurt cover raisins satisfied the kiddos.
 The Bee-attitudes :)
 Bumble bee foot art for the kiddos to work on while others played on the playset!
Happy memories for all :)
After cupcakes we headed inside to open the Queen Bee's presents!
Thanks to all for you love!! It was a great day for Sweet Charli Kate!!

Pun'kin Patch!

 Recently, we went to the pumpkin patch with our friends, Ella and Cade! What a great morning :)!!

Updated Room For Our Little Man!

 When I asked Caden what kind of "big boy" room decor he wanted, he replied "CARS!" When I asked him if he was sure, in a very irritated tone, he said, "Mom, I have been playing with cars since before I was two!"
 Made this with my Cricut and Modge Podge.
 Pulled this painting idea off of Caden's new bedspread... decorated with vintage cars, checkered flags and trophies!
This little man is very excited!!

First Day of School

 Excited to meet Caden's teacher...
 Welcome to Butterfly Fish, 4's!!
 "And He took the children in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them." Mark 10:16
 First official day for our little man! Or should I say, the LAST first day of pre-school :(
 Caden attends two days per week and and is so excited about school!
 Getting ready for Two's! Charlotte in the Owls this year :) She is thrilled and cannot wait to begin!

SA Getaway

We took one last little summer jaunt before school started to San Antonio.
Visiting the Alamo!
 On the Riverwalk at night with the kiddos.
 Touring the legenary area the next day.
 I think that we are lost...? Let me step into my map.
Riverboat tour!
