How could I say NO

To this

and this

and this

I am so glad to be a mom to all these little monsters. They teach me patience, kindness, selflessness. Did I already mention patience? I love them dearly and am greatful to me a mother on this earth today. I hope they can grow into wonderful people when they get older. I am also greatful for a wonderful husband who helps me through the hard days and the good ones. He is my best friend and my hero. TaTa for now .....

We started our halloween festives with a ward trunk or treat a week before halloween. We then headed to Brad's work trick or treat party on Thursday. By now our kids have so much candy I don't know what to do with it besides eat it. Then comes halloween day and all they can say is "are we going trick or treating yet?" We had our friends Mike and Melissa over to go trick or treating and play games. The kids had a lot of fun. Lucas lasted about 12 houses then he was on th stroller the rest of the time. Elena lasted about 3 blocks and was done. I got so cold I had to drink hot chocolate when I got home. I hope you all had fun on your halloween day. TaTa for now.

Update

We have not been too busy, just the norm around here. Brad goes to work, I cook clean and take care of the kids. I go to work on the weekend days and we get by. I took Gavin to his 4 month checkup wich was 2 and a half weeks late, well let me just say, this kid is big! His stats are: ya ready!

17 lbs 5 oz

27 1/4 inches

This kid does not roll, he tries really hard to sit up. He loves his toys and his mama.

Luke was not 17 lbs until he was 6 1/2 months old and Elena wasn't 17 lbs till 91/2 months. Crazy huh. Well hope all is well with you and your families! TaTa for now.

Gavi J

Gavi J is 4 months old now. Can you believe it? I can't. Seems
like yesterday he was trying to learn to smile. Now thats all
he does. He loves routine. I have never had a baby that sleeps
and eats the same time everyday as he does. Gavin is the best
sleeper in the whole world! He loves hes brother and sister and
makes them smile when he does or when he laughs. So cute!! This
is what he looks like when he wiggles out of his wrap job. Well hope all
is well with your families. Im getting so excited for the holidays! We are
going to decorate for Halloween today. :)

FUN TIMES

New short hair! She loves it. Plus no more tangles for me!!

THE MANY FACES OF THE INFAMOUS LUCAS

Hi mom!!!

We went to Elena's school fair. Her and Lucas had a blast.

See mom we got our faces painted!

He came to me and said" Change me!!!! please."

Gavin is watching football I believe. He is quite intertained

by watching tv. How sad is that. :) Oh well it keeps him

quiet for a while.

I will post more soon, We have just been busy with Elena

being in Kindergarten and me trying to entertain Lucas.

Photo Shoot with Mommy

While I still had my mom's good camera, before I give it back,
I wanted to do a photo shoot of my own with Gavin. Someday I
will be able to a good picture, but for now its just practice. The
bottome pictures are of Gavin in his blessing outfit. I had to take
some before he got too chubby to even button it up. :) Hope
all is well with you and your families. I am just enjoying the love
and stresses of being a mom and wife. (wish me luck). TaTa for now.

Here are some pictures of our recent trip to California. I will
post more later.

The many faces of my 8 week old

Big Eyes. He is trying to take it all in.

Trying so hard to smile. He is getting better everyday.
