Happy Halloween

Our Halloween festivities were a bit smaller than normal this year. Frankly the kids were lucky to have costumes. I came down with the flu a few weeks ago, and then developed pneumonia. I am feeling better now, but I have had no energy and Halloween was just a side thought.

Kent took the kids to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins (and I forgot to send the camera, so no pics) and they came home so excited. The kids designed their own jack-o-lantern faces and Kent helped them carve out their designs.

I think Kent was pretty excited to use his power tools, and show the boy how to use them too.
D was very proud of his original pumpkin face. (Don't know why the jammie shirt is open)
K loved her pumpkin, she kept kissing it. She wanted a "cute and pretty" pumpkin. That is tricker than it seems. She was happy with what we came up with. It has a heart, so it is fantastic.
Like I said earlier, I had zero energy but I still managed to finish making the kids costumes. I think they turned out okay.
D was excited to be a Jedi (I was supposed to make a robe for Kent too, but oh well).
K was a cute Belle, but not a happy picture taker. Kent thinks she looks like a mopey muppet character.
She did perk up at the Chili dinner after trunk-or-treat.
All in all it was a fantastic day. The kids had fun, and got a good supply of sugar.

Well good grief, I think it's time to take a break from stress young lady! I hope you're recovering well.

The costumes look fantastic! You've got gorgeous kids too, that certainly doesn't hurt.

Happy Halloween!

K's expressions are hilarious! I loved all the pictures of her, especially the last one that is very sweet.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
