Christmas

The Holiday was OK. It was nice that my dad could be around, but there is still a lot of "unknown" ahead. I am afraid of what will happen, and how all of our lives will be ruined by one evil kid.

Bradley and Parker seemed to have an OK Christmas too. They weren't into it as much as I thought they would be. For their birthdays they both ripped into their gifts, but Christmas morning they didn't really want to bother opening anything. It was the same thing Christmas eve when they visited my husbands parents house.

Bradley, does love his new camera. I have to exchange Parker's because when we opened it, the cameras screen had a scratch on it. Parker, hasn't really cared though. Parker, just loves his little people toys, and his new fire engine too.

Dustin, got lots of new stuff too. He hasn't showed too much interest though since he has been sick. The day after Christmas Dustin started throwing up, and had to go to the dr. Then, the following day my mom, myself, then Bradley, and Brad all started throwing up. Parker, never threw up but has had horrible diarrhea (sorry if too much info) but it was horrible.

Well anyway I am just thankful that I have a great husband and mom, who even though they were both sick, they both pitched in and helped with the kids. It was so horrible throwing up and trying to be OK for a few minutes to help with the boys. That's all part of being a mom though. It's the best, but hardest job out there.

I forgot to add, Brad took the boys and I to Bass Pro Shops on Christmas eve. It was nice. Bradley, Parker, and Dustin all got their pictures done on Santa's lap, and colored a few pictures. Bradley even wrote a letter to Santa and put it in Santa's mail box that was their. Bradley & Parker also enjoyed trying to shoot the guns with daddy. They had two free games the kids could play (which were the guns).

Well, I am still feeling a bit sick, but just wanted to update this since Christmas is all over now.

6 more days!

There is only 6 more days until Christmas. I have all my Christmas shopping basically finished. I am looking forward to Bradley and Parker's face on Christmas morning when they come down the stairs and see all their presents. I'll be video taping it for sure. My mom got me a great video cam for an early Christmas gift.

Brad and I took the boys to Hershey Park on Wednesday night for Hershey's Christmas in the park. It was fun! The boys all enjoyed it, and it was nice spending fun time together. It made me forget about all the bad things currently going on. Bradley and Parker got on all the rides, and some with daddy. Brad didn't think Bradley was tall enough to get on the Reces cup challenge with him, but I had Bradley stand up against the measuring board, and he was actually a Hershey kiss! Brad was really surprised, and was glad Bradley could get on the ride with him. Bradley scored 2,500 points, and daddy scored like 4,500 or more, I don't really remember. But Bradley's was pretty impressive for a three year old. Parker was real upset about not being able to get on the ride, so I told Brad to try and see if they'd let him get on. Parker was maybe an inch shy of the height restriction. So, in the end Parker did get to ride with daddy too. It was a fun night.

Christmas shopping

Well, today I plan on finishing all my Christmas shopping. That means a pretty busy day. Of course my hubby isn't even awake yet (it's 10:30am), so I'm not sure when we will get out the door. (My husband works the late shift, so don't go judging and saying he's lazy!)

Christmas has really snuck up on me this year, and I haven't been in much of a "Christmasy" mood. I guess with all the crap going on with my family, I haven't been thinking too much about the Holidays. At first I had really high expectations about the Holidays, I thought they would be great because my brother was coming home from Iraq. But, instead, Brandee and her kid f***ed up everything again. Let, me tell ya, this is not the first time. It's just sad.

Even though I'm not in a Christmasy mood, I still want to make sure my kids have a great Christmas. Bradley is 3 now, and really starting to get into the swing of Christmas. He's real excited, and believes Santa is bringing him gifts. It's been harder this year, now that I have to sneak around and rap and hide all the gifts. Parker is excited too, and he seems to understand about how Santa is going to bring him gifts. Parker is two, and only ten months younger then his big brother Bradley. Dustin, is only nine months, so he won't know much. Dustin was with me while I was rapping gifts, and was actually playing with one of his Christmas gifts before I even got to rap it! But that's ok, at least I know he likes it!

I am looking forward to Christmas at the boys Preschool. I know they will be doing a real small Christmas show for just the parents on December 22nd. My mom bought me a new video camera so I will be recording the little show they have. I'm pretty excited about it. The paper they sent home with my boys says it's an ice cream & cookie party. The kids will prepare and serve their parents cookies, and then sing a few songs. I can't believe thats only ten days away! Time just seems to be flying by.

And it's only 13 days until Christmas!! Wow, I am soooo far behind.

Stress!!

I wrote a while back about a family issue that has come about. Well, all was quiet until recently, and now it has come back up, just in time for Christmas.

So, here's the story: My brother met this girl 9.5 years ago, her name I won't mention. He has been with her all these years except when the drug addict b**** ran off to Georgia with his kids and was missing for almost two years. They have had tons of problems through out the years, and our family has always said he should have left. She has beaten the crap out of my brother, and he is one of those guys that say "you should never hit a woman". I swear this woman, needs her ass kicked. She has called the cops on my brother on numerous occasions, and he's always the one in trouble even though he's the one with bite marks, bruises and cuts all over him. Even when I took pictures of this, he's the one in trouble.
Well, anyway this woman has a child from a previous relationship, and this kid has been in our family since she was 1.5! We looked at her as if she was part of our family. This kid is now very screwed up (just like her drug addict mother). So, she lies to get her way. My brother was in Iraq for a long time, and during this time my father took this woman and my brothers kids in. My brothers step daughter comes up with an outrageous lie. This lie isn't even something she says happened recently but something she claims happened when she was five. The kids eleven now. Everyone knows it is a lie, because at age five she was never near my dad. Not only that, whenever my brother and all those kids were there, they were never alone. So it is impossible. I am just so angry about it all. So this woman.. who unfortunately is my brothers finance, got in a big fight with my dad while she was staying there, and it just so happened that after that fight was when the kid came up with this lie. So go figure! What a coincident.

So, these social workers that have gotten involved, visited my brothers house yesterday, and told them that they were going to issue a arrest warrant for my dad. They said this before too, and it never happened. So, low and behold the kid is finally fessing up and saying it's all a lie. After letting all this crap get so far, and out of control. Now, I don't know what is going to happen. Since this kid is finally saying she lied, I am hoping this will all stop and go away. I know my brother just wants the family to be back like it used to be. But, I know it never will. I don't want my boys near that lying kid. Not only is that kid a liar, but she's a thief, and she's violent. This kid, has stolen things from her aunts house, from our house, my dads house, even school, and neighbors and friends homes. She was caught in school stealing a year book from another child, and LIED about it. She also was caught at one of her friends houses steeling from her own friend. The neighbors wouldn't even allow this kid over to play, because she was caught steeling money. Ugh, it really is ashame. For only being eleven years old, this kid is so messed up. I know she has gotten like this because of her mother, who was always heavy on drugs and alcohol. Sadly, when we tried to step in years ago and report all the stuff with the kids mother, social services didn't want to hear it. Then the kids mother ran off to Georgia. So, this is what the kid turned into. I just hope and pray that my dad doesn't get arrested for something he did not do. I don't want my kids to spend Christmas with out seeing their pop-pop. My boys love their pop-pop. My brothers REAL daughters love their pop-pop and his sons too. My brother's biological kids never believed what their half sister claimed either. I'm just glad this kid is fessing up, and hope she tells the cops, & social workers the truth about how she's lying. All the kid cares about is getting in trouble, she doesn't care about anything else.

Christmas pictures

On my Birthday Brad and I took the boys to portrait innovations to have our Christmas pictures done. I couldn't have asked for it to turn out any better! For the first time ever we had a male photographer. This guy was great! He did one hell of a job making the boys smile, and really worked with them. Parker smiled for the picture of all 3 boys together, but Parkers so tough the only other smiles I got were smirks. I'm happy with a smirk though! Compared to Parker's normal evil stare pictures! If anyone is in the York, PA area I highly recommend going to the Portrait Innovation place by Best buy. I think our photographers name was Kyle. But he did a really good job, compared to other places I have taken our boys. It was a pretty good B-day gift from my hubby. It means a lot to me to have pictures of our family, and my boys while they are still babies. I know I will miss this when they are older.

Something else I liked about Portrait Innovation's was how quickly you get your pictures back. I think it was maybe 20 minutes - half hour when our pictures were ready for pick-up. That was nice! It wasn't like your normal photo studio setting. My boys seemed more comfortable there versus Sears, or Walmart. Well, here are the pictures we purchased. I'll start with the family picture.

Black Friday madness!!

Well, my mom and I ventured out at 4:30am again this year for the black Friday deals. I bought Dustin a real neat toy that can either sit, or stand. I know he will love it, and I'm anxious to give it to him! Bradley and Parker each got a 10 pack of matchbox cars, and a play dough kit. We also got, a 500GB external hard drive that I wanted! We couldn't find it early this morning, but mom ran back out later and found it at Office Depot. I was originally trying to get it from Walmart who didn't have it. It was extremely cheap! This hard drive had really good ratings too.

So Christmas shopping is pretty much done now. Bradley and Parker both have the Crayola kids digital camera kit. Those darn things where expensive too! I just hope they work good for them. I have their SD cards to go with their camera's too. The older boys have lots of stuff now. Plus, whatever pop-pop, and their other grandparents get them. They should be set. Dustin, I still want to get a few things for. He has two big items, one is the toy I just got him today, the other is this little bouncy giraffe thing my mom got him (which is adorable)! Plus mom got him this fisher price set with little animals. Dustin loves toys, so I know he'll love his first Christmas. Bradley, and Parker as babies didn't really care to much about toys at Dustin's age. Dustin acts much older then my soon to be 9 month old!

Well, it's time for me to rest up, until we are back out shopping. I think we are going to go hit the outlets in Hershey! My favorite store there is Carters! Carters always has great deals. Plus I love their cloths.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to write on here and wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving! It was a pretty good day. I woke up early to help my mom make our dinner. It was tons of work. I made a chocolate pecan pie, which turned out soooo good! I was pretty proud of myself. Brad said I will have to make desserts like that more often!
Dustin had mashed potatoes, and mashed sweet potatoes. He made a big mess, but he eat about half of what I gave him. The rest, he wore! It was a nice day, and we all had a good time. The boys really enjoyed seeing pop-pop. Bradley is always wanting to go visit him.
While my dad was here he gave me my Birthday gift, and reminded me my birthday is on Tuesday. I honestly forgot. It isn't that big of a deal anymore. I feel like I'm getting old. I'll only be twenty three, but I guess I feel older.

Well, I am exhausted. It's tiering making all that food!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving at Preschool !

On Monday, Bradley and Parker had their thanksgiving feast at preschool. I had no clue they would be doing a little show. The boys ate their food, which was a really nice turkey dinner, with stuffing, corn, mashed potatoes, cranberries, sliced apples, and some fishy crackers. For dessert the boys each had a piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream. The boys mainly ate the whipped cream.

When they were finished eating the teachers took all the kids and lined them all up. They all then sang a turkey song. It was the cutest thing! Parker kinda just stared out into space, but did sing a little bit. Bradley on the other hand jumped out front of the group of kids, and danced his heart out, and sang. Bradley was in the front of the group the entire time, he was the little star! The teachers all told me afterwards how he is always dancing, and that he is the dancer in school. It was great. They also informed me that there will be a Christmas show also. So, next time, I know to bring my video camera! It was so cute!

Here are a few pictures of them singing at school. Then pictures of the hats they made and their thanksgiving place mats! They are all so cute.

Bradley is the one up front dancing of course, and Parker is wearing a blue shirt and beige pants, he's also the smallest one in the group :o)

Had to add a picture of my lil Dustin. Yes, I know he's got a dirty face, but I don't care. You can't always get a picture of a baby, who has a cold, with a clean face. He's still too cute!

Let it snow, let it snow!

Today when we all woke up, we noticed it had snowed. It was just a dusting but still pretty. Later in the day it started snowing rather hard. The older boys all ran to the front door, while Dustin crawled, to look at the big flakes of white, fluffy snow! I helped Dustin stand up, and he was so fascinated by the snow.
Seeing the snow really made it feel like Christmas time. I can't believe how quickly the Holidays are all coming up this year.

I took this picture of the boys, which I LOVE! It is so sweet!

Are you Santa?

A few days ago, after our 1st attempt at getting a family picture done this year, Brad and I took our boys to visit Santa. Bradley walked up to Santa, with hands on his hips. Bradley looked at Santa for a brief moment then asked;
"Are you Santa?" The man dressed in his red Santa suit, with his real beard smiled and responded;
"Yes, I am Santa Clause".
Bradley quickly replied back;
"I need a camera, a big one, and a REAL one!" Bradley then started walking away, but Santa tried to make more conversation with him. Bradley did talk a bit, but not much. It just really made me laugh when Bradley made sure he was talking to Santa before telling him how he wants a real camera! The lady taking photo's laughed as well.

Parker didn't want to go near Santa, and stayed at a distance and just glared at him. I did try to get Parker to go say hi, but he would whimper and back away.

Dustin, sat on Santa's lap and was memorized by his beard. He just stared at Santa, and this was a good Santa! Santa talked to Dustin, and was making him smile. I honestly think this was one of the best mall Santa's I've come across. I know that must be a stressful job at times, dealing with screaming kids, and rotten ones too.

I am starting to get really excited about Christmas this year. Now that Bradley, and Parker are both older, it should be so much fun! Bradley and Parker are both insistent on getting a camera "like mommy's" for Christmas. I have been searching for a digital camera with a preview screen, that is decent, for $55 or less.
I'm always taking pictures, and Bradley and Parker want to be like me with pictures! Bradley knows how to operate my Sony power shot 10 mega pix camera, so I am hoping to get him a camera that has about 5 mega pix and easy to operate. I just hope I am successful at finding one. Bradley, and Parker both have their hopes set on these camera's. I have read about the kids cams and all of them have bad reviews. So, I rather just spend the money and get them real digital camera's that are decent, that they can enjoy and take fairly good quality pictures with.

Well, I've rambled on enough for today..

What are you Thankful for

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching I figured I’d write a blog about what I am thankful for. I am not writing any of this in a particular order, I am just writing it as it comes to me. So, here it goes:


I am thankful for my husband Brad. Brad and I have been together almost 5 years now. These 5 years have been the best, and most rewarding years of my life. They have also been hard, and challenging, but overall they have been great. The good, outweighs the bad. Brad has brought happiness to my life, something I didn’t have too much of before he came around. He has made me feel good about myself, also something no one else has really done before. Brad show’s me he cares, and does little things to make sure I know how much he loves me. He has also given me 3 perfect, wonderful, and by far the cutest little children I have ever laid eyes on. Brad, is also a good daddy to our little boys, and I love seeing him play with our kids. Brad is my soul mate, the one who can finish my sentences, and knows everything about me. He is the love of my life. I am so thankful for my husband. “I love you Brad!”


I am thankful for my baby boys, the cutest kids in this world: Bradley, Parker, and Dustin. I honestly don’t know how I could live with out them. My boys are my reason for waking up each morning. They make me smile, when I am feeling down. They are so sweet, but yet rotten at times. I love watching them smile, and learn. Even though, the boys make me feel like tearing out my hair some days, I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Being their mommy is the best thing that has happened to me. I love my 3 baby boys more then anyone could ever know. I am thankful that I have them, and they are healthy.


I am thankful for my family. Especially my mom. My mom, has always been there for me, and my brother. My mom is my hero, she has dealt with a lot of crap in her life, more then I could ever tolerate. Mom has given my husband Brad, our boys, and myself a place to live. She has made sure our boys have everything they need, and want. Mom has spoiled them rotten to say the least! I am just so lucky to have such a great mom, who is always there for me and my family. She is my mom, and my best friend. I am thankful I have her, and thankful she tolerated all my crap growing up too. I know I don’t look forward to when my boys are teenagers. I am sorry for all those teenage years! Thanks mom!

I’m also thankful that my brother and I finally get along, and the same thing with my dad. Growing up I didn’t get along with either. I know they cared about me, but they didn’t really show it. It brought me to tears when Brad and my brother had a “heart to heart” on Christmas of 05’. My brother told Brad how sorry he was for all those years he treated me so horribly growing up. I still don’t know what to say to that.. I forgive him for it, because the love for your family is unconditional. Even, if I didn’t talk to them for years on end, I’d still love them, because they are my family. I just feel so lucky that I can finally get along with them. It’s great being able to talk to my brother, or father, without arguing.

I truly have so many things to be thankful for. I can’t really put all my feelings into words, but at least I can make it known that I am thankful for everyone in my life. I love Brad, my boys, and family more then I can put into any words. I’m lucky I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

Disappointing

Today, Brad and I had our family pictures done. What I wanted was a really nice family picture (like the past 3 years), a picture of each boy, and a picture of Brad and I together. What we got was a whole lot of crap! This is my 1st really poor experience with Sears portrait studio. The lady taking the pictures was not with it at all! She acted as if she was in a huge rush. The picture quality was terrible, and not a single good shot. I am so upset about our whole experience. We did purchase a package that was $139.99. On the computer monitor at Sears, I couldn't really tell how horrible the pictures actually were. Once we arrived home, and I looked at all the different pictures on the CD I saw how bad they truly are. The woman who did the photo-shoot, seemed as if she was rushing us threw picking out our pictures also. I did tell her I wasn't happy with how the family pictures turned out. So, she tried retaking them. The second round of pictures looked better in the store, but at home I noticed they are blurred. Not only that, there is a white speck in the picture. It has been so disappointing. For as much as we paid for these pictures, I expect them to be damn near perfect! I mean, 8 sheets, and one CD for $139.99 + tax is A LOT of money for pictures! Well, another thing I did when we got home was I took some pictures of my boys together. The photographer wouldn't take my advice, as to how to arrange the boys. I do take their pictures all the time, and seem to know what I am doing more then her. The reason I took their pictures was to prove to myself, my camera and my knowledge was better then someone who was supposedly trained to take photo's. Now, I know it's a little different taking pictures at home, where the kids are comfortable, but it is the photographers job to help work with the kids, and get them to smile.

Here's the picture I took. I'm not even wasting my time uploading the Sears pictures. They are horrible!

I don't have a title..

I have never really truly had close friends. I have had friends but not close ones. My best friend has always been my mom, and Brad. Well, I recently learned once again WHY I don’t like people. I learned why I don’t trust them. I knew this guy years ago who I thought was my friend. Turns out, nope! It’s strange how my husband Brad was so right about him. I am pretty down about it, but I don’t care as much as I thought I would. I am just so thankful and happy that I am married to someone who will look out for me, who loves me, and cares. Sometimes he doesn’t always show it, but he makes up for those times. I love Brad with all my heart and soul. If I hadn’t have met him, I don’t know where I would be in life. Brad found me at a rough time in my life, and he made me so happy. It just really opens up my eyes, and I am so thankful.
I suppose it’s the perfect time of year to realize this, huh? With Thanksgiving coming up! Just show’s me how much I really have to be thankful for. I love my husband, our kids, and my family. I truly am blessed, even though sometimes it doesn’t feel that way.

Picture Time!!

Every year, since our first child was born, Brad and I have done family pictures for Christmas. It has become a tradition! This year is Dustin's very first Christmas, and also the first professional family picture that all 5 of us will be in together. I am very excited about it. I love pictures! I love having these adorable pictures to show off to people. And, I know one day I will be looking back at these pictures, wondering where the time went.

It's so hard to believe this will be our oldest child Bradley's 4th Christmas! Although, for Bradley's first Christmas he was only 2 months old. This will be Parker's 3rd Christmas, and Brad & my 5th Christmas together.

Well anyway, I am just excited about it, and picture day seems to be approaching fast! We will be having our family photo's taken this Friday! I will post them on here when we get back. I hope to get the session on CD. All 3 boys have matching outfits. Their outfits aren't real "Christmasy", but they are cute. Their shirts all say "naughty". Mom and I went shopping and found Brad, and myself outfits that will coordinate with the boys. I'm hopeful that the pictures will be really great! I just hope Bradley and Parker cooperate!

Getting BIG!

Dustin is 8 months old now, and he has really grown!

On November 7th (daddy's birthday) Dustin, and Parker both had doctor appointments. Dustin weighed all but 24 pounds, and was 29 inches tall! Dustin is measuring in the 75th% for babies his age, and 90th% for weight. I know Dustin is a chunky little monkey! I also know, once Dustin starts walking he will shed the baby fat. Bradley & Parker both didn't stay chunky for long. Once they were moving all over the place their baby fat disappeared.

Dustin does army crawl all over the place now. Where ever I go, Dustin is right behind me. I feel like I'm always tripping over him. My little Dustin is by far my most needy baby boy. Dustin hates being by himself, and always wants to be with mommy. I love Dustin's personality though. Dustin is always happy (unless he's by himself). All I have to do is smile at Dusty, and he will smile back at me. When ever I come to pick him up, he gets so excited. And, I love when daddy gets home, and Dustin starts bouncing up and down with excitement to see daddy.

Dustin will also dance now. When Bradley and Parker listen to their CD's Dustin bounces to the music and rocks. It is so adorable to watch. Another new thing Dustin can do is stand. Dustin, stands with assistance, or by holding onto something. He loves to stand and bounce, and is so proud of himself!

Parker, also saw the doctor, and has grown as well! I was very surprised to find out Parker has grown so much that he is now in the 50th% for kids his age! Parker was once in the 5th% right above Bradley who was in the 3rd%. Now Parker is 35 inches tall and 29lbs. Last time Bradley was measured he was 37 inches. Bradley has risen to the 10th% last time he visited his endocrinologist. So, all my boys seem to be growing good now. For a long period of the time, the doctors were pretty concerned about how slowly Bradley and Parker were growing.
As for the boys heads, Parker's head is still off the chart, but hasn't worsened. Dustin's head, which was once normal size, has shot off the chart! We will be visiting our neurosurgeon soon to see what's going on. Bradley and Parker will also be going for their follow up visit. They are all supposed to go every 6 months but we are behind.

Here is a picture of Bradley wearing his fireman hat, And Parker driving his car!

Dustin, enjoying a lolli pop he got on Halloween. He LOVED that lolli pop, and was mad, and cried when I had to take it away

After Halloween...

Comes Thanksgiving! I love this time a year! It was always a time when your family all gets together, talks, and has a nice dinner.
After not really sitting down with most of your family for the year, Thanksgiving brings everyone together.
Unfortunately this year I don't think that will be the case. My family is kinda split. With all this stuff going on with my brother's STEP daughter, I don't think our family will really all be together. I'm just not sure how the upcoming Holiday's will go. This Halloween I was expecting my brother, his kids, Brad and our kids, plus my parents would all be together taking all the kids trick or treating. But what happened was it was just mom, dad, me, and my boys. We all still had a good time, but I would have loved seeing baby AJ dressed up in his tootsie roll costume.

I am just hoping this upcoming Thanksgiving turns out to be a good one. Brad will be off work, and I'm really hoping my entire family can all be together. I'd like for my boys to be able to see their uncle, cousins, and all their family together.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was pretty great. The boys got to go trick or treating 3 times total. Once a few days before Halloween at the nursing home, once at preschool, and then the official trick or treat in my dad's neighborhood. The boys were all so cute going up to the houses with their pumpkin buckets. Bradley loved knocking on doors! I felt bad when Bradley knocked on a little old ladies door, and when the lady didn't come quick enough Bradley started knocking over and over. I had to run up on the porch and stop him. The lady thought it was funny though, thankfully!

Bradley and Parker have tons of candy and other goodies now. So, they will be enjoying themselves for quite a while. I am sure their candy will probably last until almost Christmas time, and then they'll get even more at Christmas.

The only thing I would change about this Halloween was Brad not being with us. Brad unfortunately had to work. But once we were done trick or treating we stopped by daddy's work to have a quick visit. Everyone made over the boys, no one can resist them. I know daddy enjoys all the attention he gets because of how handsome all his little men are.

Well, here are a few pictures from tonight. I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

This is my favorite picture. We took this before Brad went to work.

Me and my little tiger.

Halloween fun at Preschool

At Bradley, and Parker's preschool there was a trick or treat day after school. It was nice. When Brad and I went to pick up the kids, the teachers had arranged all the tables in a big U shape. All the parents, grandparents and other family members of the kids, and teachers sat around the tables with goodies to hand out. The teachers brought up all the children from all the classes 2's, 3's, and 4's. All the little kiddo's where dressed up in their costumes and went around the tables with their trick or treat bags the school had given them (The bags where very cute!). The boys got some really nice things in their bags.

Dustin got lots of attention as well, even though he didn't participate in the trick or treat. I dressed Dustin up in his Tiger costume to match his Big Bear and Lion brothers! The boys teacher came over to see Dustin, and told me she was wondering if I would have Dustin dressed up to match the boys. She also commented on how cute their costumes all where. Well, here are the pictures of the boys at school. I'm also attaching their school projects that were pretty cute. I love how they made ghosts out of their foot prints!

Halloween Fun

Brad and I took the boys to the nursing home on Tuesday. They where having their trick or treat night. It was really fun for the boys, and they got lots and lots of goodies. We did this last year with Brads parents too, and it was fun. I think this is something we are going to have to do each year. It's a safe place for the boys to trick or treat, and they have a good time. I am attaching some pictures of the boys in their costumes.

How cute are they?! I know they are the cutest!

Bradley, Parker, and Dustin in their adorable costumes!
