Prettiest jack o lantern ever

Avery FINALLY got another tooth!!!!
She has had just 2 teeth for the last 6 months!!
We have gotten so used to seeing her with just the bottom 2 teeth,
it's weird to see her with one on top.
Not to mention,she now looks like Sloth!
Baby Ruth!!!!!!!!

The Mohawk gang

Honestly,how could I resist?
Avery wants to do everything that her big brothers do
so it was only a matter of time!
Yesterday while I was doing the boys hair,
I had a little extra hair "glue" on my hands...
Well, just so happens Avery has just enough hair to spike up.
Believe me, I can't wait for the day I get to give her pig tails but
I will take what I can get for now.

Arrrrr

Pirates invaded John's Pass this weekend and
of course we had to get in the action.
We put our best pirate gear on and headed out for one heck of a fun day!

I was in shock just as I was at The Renaissance Festival at all the
super freaks these events attract!

I thought I took it a little to far with a skull and cross bones bandanna
(the hair was a little greasy that day)

There were adults there who looked like the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean.
And they were not part of the festival staff. People crack me up!

Oh well..who am I to judge when I sported that stupid looking bandanna all day
(I honestly thought I looked cute when I put it on at home,strutted my stuff all day at the festival and then saw how freaking stupid I really looked when I downloaded the pics.)

My happy pirate baby girl-you can really tell in this pic that she has my eyes!!
Drew and Bruno with a random pirate
Only Bruno-he is the kid who always gets picked out of a crowd to participate in some sort of entertainment! Here he is taking on the role of "the good guy" in a little pirate performance
Gotcha!
Bruno and his pirate crew
The pirate family
Love,love,love this shot of the boys!

I spy

Bruno: Mommy can we play I spy?

Me: I really don't want to play I spy right now, I have to drive

Bruno: Fine,I will play by myself. Iiiii Spy something blue (pause) The sky! Mommy, I am so great at this game!!!

Zoo Memories

I am cleaning out my kodak software-deleting old photos of past daycare kids.
I've come across so many old pictures I have forgotten about.

Here are yearly Mother's Day pictures of me with the kids at the Zoo.
We have tried to make it a tradition.
It amazes me how much the boys have grown!
Drew was soooo chubby!
It cracks me up!

Sex and The City

Friday night was a MUCH needed girls night out!!! After staying home with kids all week and my highlight of adult contact being working out next to all the meat heads at the gym....It was so great to do my makeup,put on a cute outfit and go out with the girls.

We met up at BJ's and at that moment my diet ran right out the door. Who can turn down pomegranate margaritas , avocado spring rolls and spinach/artichoke dip??? The 4 of us girls have known each other since high school.We weren't all the best of friends back then but time,family,life and lack of caring about social status has brought us all really close! We are all 4 so different.

In a nut-shell:
Me-stay at home mom
Erika- career mom
Angel-newlywed,high school teacher
Kristin- single, middle school teacher

Yet, you put us together and we just don't stop talking!! I love how we can all learn something from one another.

Anywho-the movie was FANTASTIC!!! I was a huge fan of the series so to go back and dive into the characters lives I love so much was awesome for me.


Me,Erika and Kristin out front of BJ's
Grace and Angel with our yummy drinks!
Angel,Grace and Kristin(can you guess who the single one is??)

Waiting for the movie to start...oh the anticipation!!!!
