Our Halloween Happenings!

Hunter and Henry's Halloween Playgroup! The kids had fun playing, eating homemade cookies that HUNTER made and dressing up in there costumes.

CHURCH FALL FESTIVAL

The "love doctors" are in!!! Alicia and Lauren convinced Steve and Adam to be our "patients". It was a fun night at the church Fall Festival. They had a trunk or treat, chili cook off, and talent show. It was a packed Room... fun times with friends.
Alicia and Hunter decorated the trunk with spooky spiders and skeletons.
Our 2 favorite boys! Hunter was "Buzz light year" and Henry was a "pumpkin" and also a ghost outfit.

Halloween Day! We went to some friends home "the Valentines" and watched the GA/FL game. Ate yummy BBQ that was to die for!! Awesome meat! After eating,swimming and kicking butt in FL football we went on a trick or treating hayride. Hunter had a blast going from house to house. There were lots of kids dressed to impress.. they all looked so cute!

This is my girl Lauren!!! Thanks Lauren for being such a good sport and dressing up... race ya to the hairdresser I think I'm going blond!!! LOL :) It was a fun night.
Trying out a new recipe. Alicia's spider cupcakes! Got my inspiration from "Family Fun".

Fear

As i'm cleaning the kitchen I came across Hunter's leaf artwork, Hunter loves to pick up sticks, rocks, and leaves. He brings them home to mommy and daddy all the time. When I go to throw them away (we have lots) instead of thinking oh how sweet and cute the thought comes to my mind to take a picture in case Hunter's dies, that was a special thing we would want to remember. I find myself doing that alot!! I cried one day when Hunter was in the truck with his daddy (in front of me), just thinking what would happen if Hunter died... i just sobbed for really no reason, Hunter was just fine with Steve. I kiss him each night after he is asleep and I wonder if even I passed away would he know how much I loved him, was I a good mom for him. Would he remember the fun times we had. Now the same fears have moved to Henry, I check him several times a night, worry if he coughs to much or if he acts different in any way I feel something really bad might be wrong. When I go out i'm really nervious having both of them, like I would forget one or someone will take one. I just can't protect them eneough. I know this isn't normal but I just fear so much, almost as if things have been too "calm" around our family maybe something terriable is going to happen. When Steve leaves the house I think will that be the last time. I just want to hug and kiss him tight each time. My eyes just start to water thinking about ANYTHING happening to the "GUYS" in my life, I love and adore them, I would give my life for them. Having them consumes my life without them I would be empty. I get overwhelmed when it comes to my mind. I have actually planned a funeral in my mind. I hope and pray this is NOT the lord trying to tell me something. Have any of you ever felt this way?? Is this a lack of faith, because I have these thoughts and fears? Please share with me, I know someone out there has the comforting words that I need.

Pumpkin Crumb Cake - Delish!! Thanks Lauren for the idea!

Our new family favorite! The Towers Family had it one night and we loved it! Steve & Hunter will eat it for breakfast sometimes it is so delish!

Hunter Happenings

Some good Papa hugs -






















.....UNCLE PAUL IS IN TOWN....

We went to the Butterfly Measum with Uncle Paul and had a great time. Learning about insects, making bat and butterfly wings and masks, doing a obsticle course, and he even got to hold a REAL alligator. It was fun to see the excitement in Hunter's eyes and hear him tell his Uncle all about the measum.

Where's Hunter!?!? I was looking for Hunter in the morning to get him ready for school and I hear laughing and talking in Henry's room. This is what I found when I walked in. Hunter sure does adore his brother... I just smiled when I thought about how much fun they are going to have as brothers growing up.

Halloween is fun around our home.. we carved a pumpkin, made pumkin and ghost shaped pancakes, bat shapes out of the banana and of course Hunter loves his spooky green teeth. Happy Halloween!

Spooky Spider Cupcakes

Hunter LOVES to decorate cupcakes... eat cupcakes, bake cupcakes.... ANYTHING to do with CUPCAKES he is all about it. So we made spooky halloween cupcakes with his buddies Joseph and Millie. Each boy was soooo excited to give them to there daddy's and Hunter's cousin Grace. We had lots of fun... Love the spooky spider ones! (OH DID I MENTION THEY DECORATED WITH LOTS OF CANDY!!!!!) :)

LOTS OF GOOD TIMES..........

Baby "Pumpkin" Playgroup

The Moms got together and had a pumpkin picture playgroup... the kids where so cute. The idea came from Celeste and Lisa took the pics... it turned out so cute. We had some dessert and chatted while the babies hung out on the floor.

Sister Time: Emily came to town!!!!
I just have to say I have the BEST time with my sister Emily. We just laugh and have fun when we get together.... Some fun things we did this visit was, Pumpkin patch, Gator Growl, Homecoming parade and lots of fun girl talk. Gator Growl had some really great dancers... I mean holy cow the talent these guys have is awesome.. I think the name is JABBAWOCKEEZ. Dana the comedian had some good parts. It was just a fun night out with my sister.
The kids played great and we had fun getting the babies together. It is so great to have a sister that lives near and we can get together.
I love you Emily!

Baby Braxton.....

Braxton and Henry 10 days apart!!

Gator Growl 2009!!
Awesome show!!!!

Crafty kids....

Our little chunky monkeys!

PUMPKIN PATCH:

At the pumpkin patch they had a hay ride, hand stamping, and a hay maze for the kids to play on. It was a fun time for the kids.

TOWERS TIME :

Our family adores the Towers Family, so you can only imagine the excitement Hunter had when he knew that Maggie and Gordon where coming to stay the night and day with us. We had fun, we went to the movies, made pumpkin & spider shaped pancakes, painted, fed the horses ( they were so excited they went over first thing in the morning... in there PJ's. You know you are a good ol country hick when you ride the scooter around the yard for entertainment!!! The kids loved it!!

Our Hungry Henry :
Henry had real food for the first time, he wasn't sure what to think about it. He mostly just gummed it and spit it out. He had rice ceral and carrots. We might wait a little bit and see if he shows more interest... For now, he just makes some funny faces.

Henry is such a sweet baby, he loves to cuddle with mommy. We fall asleep together lots of times.

Setting A Goal:

O.k. I set goals, ONLY if they are quick goals, and I get quick satisfaction, otherwise I get discouraged easily. An easy accomplishment is good for me. So my car has not been able to be in the garage since we moved in (31/2 yrs) I just decided I was going to organize the garage. Ta-da, I'm one happy lady. No more getting the kids out in the rain or getting my shoes dirty... I love my new organized garage.

Primary Program:
Hunter made mommy and daddy very proud during his "primary program", He learned his parts and said them when it was his turn. We had several people tell him how proud they where that he memorized his part. It was sweet to see the kids up there singing. What a great job they did. This was Hunter's first primary program. Our big "Sunbeam".

Big Brother: Showing Henry the ropes on "popping a wheelie". Carefullllllllll Hunter, Poor Henry... what a patient little guy!!!!

Mrs. Angela and Mrs. Lisa would be proud....

Caught Hunter singing "Gunny Bag". It was so cute... I was in the office and I overheard Hunter in the kitchen singing and I just had to grab the camera. It was so sweet to hear him and of course as soon as he sees me he starts talking to Henry... Mrs. Angela and Mrs. Lisa should be proud, Hunter loved Joyschool and ALL the songs he learned.
