Happy Halloween! Yes, yes, I know its a little late.

Here are a few pictures from Halloween. Jackson wasnt feeling very well Halloween night. You can tell by his excited expressions. Jackson was a storm trooper. Sam was a butterfly. Mitch was Mike Ditka.

I Hope you Dance!
Samantha has started ballet. She loves it. Come on whats cuter than 10 three and four year olds dancing. Good thing pink is her favorite color!

First Day of school!
So I know its a little late. Better late than never right? Anyway this is Jackson and Samanthas first day of school. They look so big. Jackson is in first grade and loves it. Samantha goes to Jens preschool (my sister) and by the way she's the best preschool teacher ever! Good thing i'm related to her. She's so hard to get into. I only cried a little after I dropped Jackson off. Sam on the other hand isn't always the most pleasant to be around. I was glad to sent her away for three hours. I do still like her just nice to have a break. We are in the swing of school and the kids are happy. Thats all that matters right!

I looove this picture of Jackson. He is such a good kid. He is sweet to his sister. He loves me even when I am not the best mommy, lets face it this happens quite often. I miss him when he is at a friends house playing. He is a very fun kid to be around. He is very sensitive and smart. He could tell me how to get home from the store when he was two. He will be in first grade this year. WHAT! How did he grow up so fast?

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl. Three years old . . . can you believe it! Her favorite birthday gift this year was "Lip Smacker" lip gloss (thanks grandma)! Samantha's got quite the personality. She is a typical girl -she fights me on everything, loves drama! She was born in Chicago at about 1 in the afternoon, scheduled c-section. She loves her brother, she has a hard time sleeping if hes not here. I love you baby!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MITCH!

5 reasons why I love Mitch

1. He loves me no matter what!
2. He loves our kids, he's an amazing father. Jackson loves him more than life itself.
3. He works soo hard for our family. He had two jobs at one point while in law school.
4. He's soo patient with our kids and me. He quietly ignores me when i'm acting crazy.
5. His friends are everything to him. His friends often say they would never see each other if it weren't for him keeping in touch.
