A Spooktacutlar Birthday!!!!

This past Friday we threw Samantha a Halloween Costume Birthday Party. Oh boy was she excited!!!! She said she wanted it to be super scary and she was especially excited to scare her friends with her Pink Dragon Costume. Here are some pictures highlighting this most exciting event.
One of my favorite parts of the party was reading and looking at the cards that the kids had made for Sam. They were so cute! Sam of course loved opening her presants. The night before as she was going to sleep she said "So Mom?!?! Tomorrow is when I get a whole bunch of preasants right?"

This is all the kids playing Monster Mash Freeze Dance. It was super cute and they all took it so seriously. Thanks to my friend Sarah who helped me keep things rolling. She had some super SWEET moves :)

We also did a Haunted Mansion Art project with foam stickers. I played spooky music in the background. Sam's friend Winston came up to me and said "Where are all those cats I keep hearing." He was quite thrown off by the music in the background.

The "Cheesiest" of parties

This past September Stephan turned 31 and to celebrate it we through a small cheese party. I am really bummed because I did not take pictures of the huge spread of cheese and meat we had. But check out this awesome cake my friend Carolyn made for the occasion. It was super yummy and so cute. We had such a great time. There were so many different kinds cheese. Anyways I would highly recommend a cheese party to anyone that enjoys cheese. It was a great way to try alot of different cheese's and share in the cost! Thanks for being born Stephan so we could have such an awesome party :)

Thanks Alot!?!?! WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!

Ok I would just like to point out that even though I won.... and even though Sam is having her first Halloween Birthday Party... Stephan still refuses to dress up!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot!! (by Stephan)

I would just like to say Booo to those you of you who voted against me on the Halloween poll!

Visit with the Winston's!!!!

We had a fun visit with my cousin Bryan and his family a couple of weekends ago and are looking forward to visiting them in Washington DC this weekend! It was great to see him and meet his wife Rachel and Little Boy Brayden. It made me feel old. You know like having a family and the cousin I grew up with having one as well. Just weird!!! It was great cause we all got along really well. This is a picture we took of ourselves with the timer on our camera. Not to shabby.
This is the only shot I had of Brayden and Hunter both kind of looking at the camera. Brayden made Hunter look like a Beast! Both were such cuties it was fun to watch them crawling around together. We tried to take a picture of them on the couch but Hunter was not cool with that and pushed Brayden off. Sorry Brayden!!!
Sam our little Mother was super excited to have Brayden there. It was like her own real baby doll. She just adored him and followed Rachel around wanting to help with him.
So...... This is quite the picture but I thought What the Heck!!! LOL Rachel and I had fun giving ourselves facials and pedicures. Goodtimes!!! I Luv Luv Luv stuff like that!
And here are the 3 little ones with Samantha in the middle to keep Brayden safe from our Little Monster Hunter. They sure were cute together! And to top it all off Brayden is the perfect size for all of Hunters handme downs which made me sooooooo happy! Thanks for visiting you guys!!! It was a blast!

More from Miss Samantha

Sam and Hunter have so much fun together! How funny is there squinty eye smile!
Quote from Sam "Hunter should be pretty glad I'm such a nice big sister."
This is Sam nursing her baby in the playhouse that we made out of a Washing Machine Box. She had a blast with it but gets so embarrased when we catch her nursing. Another quote out of the mouth of Sam "Mom am I gonna have big boobs like you someday? Will Hunter want to suck on mine to?" Um what do you say to that LOL
This is what Sam calls her "Scary Face" it has become a recurring face for all pictures. Can't decide if it's cute or a little creepy :)
Dance and Drama two words that describe Sam completly!

Hunters 1st Birthday!

This was Hunters Favorite Birthday present a stuffed dog from Mimi. He sleeps with it every night!
I normally avoid putting pictures of myself! lol but I was pretty proud of the cake I made. Well my Visiting Teacher and I made.
Hunter Loves Dogs! I'm talking like he tried to jump out of the wagon just to see one the other day.
The cake was a hit!

Handsome little 1 year old! We Love this boy soooo much! Hunter had a blast at his party. We had all of Stephan's family over and he was spoiled. There are so many things I want to remember about Hunter at this time in his life....

1. He loves to give big bear hugs.
2. He gets most excited about dog's and will scream Doggy Doggy if it's within a mile radius.
3. He will scream for two straight hours if he does not want to take a nap even if he is exhausted.
4. He loves to drive his cars and trucks all over the floor.
5. He will eat anything! Which is a nice change from Miss Samantha.
6. He is an honoree little bugger and has put me through so much stress yet I love him more for it.
7. Big thick strapping boy but has such a tender little heart.
8. After having Hunter we have definitely rethought the whole 5 kids thing! I think 3 will suit us just fine. :)
