Halloween = Birthday for me!

This year it was so fun to see Kieley get excited to dress up for Halloween. We started a month in advance looking for her princess costume. I asked her which princess she wanted to be and she insisted it had to be Cinderella. The cute thing was it take a couple days and several websites to get the "sparkly" dress she wanted... and even though it was the most expensive dress (she has my genes :) it was worth every penny to see her smile when it arrived. I love having kids to share the excitement of holidays with, it almost made me forget I was turning 31 :(.

Now she is excited.. I just told her we were going to truck or treat at the church parking lot :)

Kieley and her friends after trunk or treat.. Candy and children = smiles! (most the time)

Funeral Weekend

My Moms family - 9 children

My Grandma Dupre passed away on Oct 8th after battling with Alzheimers for over 10 years. It was a really hard weekend because she was my first grandparent to pass away and she was so amazing! I can honestly say I never remember hearing my grandma raise her voice or treat anyone harsh or mean.. she was the most unselfish and giving person I've been blessed to know in my life. She was not only extremely beautiful on the outside but the inside was even more beautiful. She will be missed but I know we will see her again. :)

We went and ate at my Uncle Joe's house after the services and here are the kids waiting patiently for the food.
