Godfrey's Last Stand

Jim & I took the kids to go on a wagon ride & get some pumpkins. It was our first time ever going & the kids had a blast...especially running through the "corn maize"! We brought the pumpkins home yesterday & today we painted them....with acrylic paint too...VERY permanent....so they weren't allowed to wear clothes haha! They did good though & the pumpkins are all set for Halloween. <3

Spooky Buddies

Lanigan school had a family movie night. Of course Tristan was dying to go!!! So we took Rileigh & Tyler and met a friend there. It was quite the night let's just say. The kids did NOT want to watch the movie...they were too excited and just wanted to play around and wrestle each other! After fighting them for over an hour...we called it a night :)

Brinley, Brinley & more Brinley :)

I love my little girly girl!!! She just started "dancey class" a couple weeks ago! She's soooo cute! Although she doesn't always cooperate, she is still only 2 and hopefully will learn soon. Her favorite song is the Wiggles Rock-a-Bye Bear...love her!

Easton turns 4!

There has always been something special about my little Easton. He's everyones favorite little boy :) He hasn't really gotten any taller over the past year either! He's taken over the king of the house position now that Tristan is in school all day! We love him so much and couldn't imagine life without this little buggar!
We celebrated at home...again I just don't see spending so much on a party for him...getting more toys and gifts we don't really need...and having the hassel of it all. Sooo...we bought an ice cream cake (he picked it out..even over a regular power ranger one...and that was big!) We make a yummy spaghetti dinner and invited Ryan and Amanda and Nana over the day before his actual birthday. Of course on his actual birthday...which was on a Monday...I took him to Gino & Joes for lunch and then cooked him his favorite...STEAK for dinner! I know growing up we never had birthday parties every year. We invited my Grandma Drake over to our house...my mom made the cake...and we opened a present or two. As we got older...we of course went out to dinner on our birthday lol...go figure...thanks to Toddy hehe <3 I hope that my kids understand how special they are and don't feel "jipped" since we go to everyone elses big birthday parties. I love them all more than anything.
Happy 4th Birthday Easton Todd-Michael :0)

I'm 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I'm 30 now too! My dear husband spoiled me this year...finally ;). I got a good chunk of money to go shopping with! My first trip was to the Coach Outlet to buy a purse and wallet! I've always wanted one and I finally could justify spending sooo much money on it! I also got to go pick out a new diamond ring! This was the purchase of all purchases lol....Jimmy mentioned a price limit...I definitely went over by a couple thousand on it hahaha! Hey...I didn't want just ANY old diamond. This is the clearest, sparkliest diamond ever! I love it and I will be wearing this one FOREVER! <3<3<3
