Tangled

Wednesday we took Audree to see the movie Tangled! It was her very first theatre experiance and I was soooo nervous! BUT she did WONDERFUL!! She sat through the entire movie and actually watched it. She was so cute with her popcorn and drink, she thought she was hot stuff!

The movie was so cute, I loved it! Everytime we see a commerical on tv, Audree says look mommy its Rapunzel, I ♥ her!! HAHAHAHA

Tis The Season to be THANKFUL

Every year at Thanksgiving I like to reflect on my life and list the things that I am thankful for. There are so many things that I am thankful for and so joyful that God has blessed me with.

1. My wonderful husband.

He has been by my side throughout the last 8.5 years and I couldn't ask for a better man. I could not imagine my life without him, he is what makes me whole. He has made me laugh, wiped my tears, hugged me tight, watched me succeed, seen me fail, cheered me on, kept me going strong. My husband is a promise from God that I will have a friend for life.

2. My amazing daughters

I knew that I would always love being a mother but I never ever in my life imagined it would be this wonderful. God has blessed me with the two most precious little girls that have ever walked this Earth. I love waking up to their smiling little faces every morning. I love hearing the coos & babbles, the I love you's & hearing mommy 1000+ times a day. I love watching them grow, play, talk, & sleep. I love everything about them! they are my entire world and without them I would be lost. I am VERY thankful for God's little blessings to my husband & I!

3. My siblings

I am thankful that God blessed me with 2 brothers and a sister. I know some of you are thinking 2 brothers? My first brother passed away at birth so I never met him, but he is always in my heart. I often think of Ronnie and how he would have been. What kind of brother would he have been? How would have we gotten along? What would he have looked like? His personality? etc. We defitnely have an angel watching over us.

My brother Chris. What can I say.... we have had our fair share of ups and downs just like any other brother and sister have had. I love my brother more than anyone could ever imagine. I look up to him in so many aspects in life. He was a father figure to me when we were growing up. He has always looked out for me and wanted the best in my life. He has such a special place in my heart. He is a role model to me and I hope I can show him one day just how much he means to me.

My little sister! WOW where do I start! My sister & I are TOTAL opposites, we are day & night it seems like at times. We aren't as close as I wish we could be but we are working on that. When my little sister was born she was my life size baby doll. I played with her, held her, fed her, changed her diapers and at the first sound of an ooohhh or ahhh i was up trying to get her out of her crib. I can't believe that 18 years has gone by and she is now an adult. I am very proud of who she is today, although I may not agree with some of her decisions in life she is my sister and i am THANKFUL for her.

4. My Parents

I am not only lucky enough to have a mom and dad but i also have been blessed with a stepmom & stepdad! My parents are a huge part of my life. They are there for me no matter what time of day I need them! Whether is 2:30 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. They support me in whatever decisions I choose to make in life and have always backed me 150%. they have been there with me through the thick and thin in my life and they will never ever know how grateful I am for them.

5. My Inlaws & Niece

I have the best in laws anyone could ever ask for. They are just like a mother, a father, a sister and a brother to me. Since the day Brett & I got together they have treated me just like family. They have been there for me when I was going through tough times, supported me through the good times and have just been amazing to me. I am thankful that God has blessed me with such a supportive extended family.

My amazing little niece Laura. She is such a smart little girl and has a huge heart. She is growing up so fast and I can't believe she is already 8.5 years old. I can still remember the day she was born. I was so excited to get home from cheerleading camp to see her and hold her! She has become such a wonderful little girl. We love her soooo much.

Halloween Pics

We had a mini session with a wonderful photographer, Khim @ Snaptastic Shots for Halloween! She captured some really sweet pics of the girls.

Trick or Treat

I can't believe Halloween has already come and gone! Seems like just yesterday we were putting up our decorations.

this year for Halloween Audree decided to be a ladybug and I must say she was the cutest ladybug Ive ever seen! She got so many oooohhhs and ahhhh's and she ate it up! We picked out a witch costume for Ashlyn and she was too stinking cute in it. She kept her hat on longer than I thought she would too!

We had to make our rounds to all the grandparents houses' before we could officially start the trick or treating! Audree's bag was already half way full with things before we even hit the neighborhoods! She's just a tad bit rotten hahaha

We met up with my sister in law, niece and mother in law and off we went! Audree & Laura held hands and went door to door and they were too cute! We didn't take Ashlyn to the doors because there were so many kids and I didn't want to fight my way through. So we stood at the bottom of the sidewalk why the girls went door to door.

The girls got a ton of candy and had a great time! Audree did not want the night to end and kept saying momma I want to keep trick or treating! Poor thing she was so tired when we got home, that she went straight to bed!

Pumpkins

I have always loved carving pumpkins! I always carve atleast 2 pumpkins a year and just have such a good time doing it, well besides the cleaning out part YUCK!

Since Audree was born we have let her paint a pumpkin so we had to keep up the yearly tradition and ever add Ashlyn in the mix too!

Audree had sooooo much fun painting her pumpkin! She loved mixing all the colors together and just creating a masterpiece!

Baking It Up!!

Audree & I made some more Halloween cupcakes a few weeks ago! Audree ♥ baking so when there is an opportunity we jump on it!

For this project we decided to make "eyeball" cupcakes! They turned out quite cute and yummy if I do say so myself!
