Halloween!!

The day of Halloween started off to a good start! I had just found out that one of my girlfriends had just had her baby early in the morn! I was so excited!:) A Halloween baby and a month early at that. So got up, got the kiddos ready only to find out that 1st thing in the morning wasn't a good time to visit a mom who had just had a baby! Hello! I should have thought of that 1st...well, I had TONS to do just didn't know which to tackle first. My sister then decides to come up with all these wonderful Halloween plans...that's when the stress started. She wanted to do it all at my house. Make neat Halloween dishes such as mummy pizzas, eye ball cookies, dirt cake etc...well, I would have loved to buuut my house was a WRECK seeing that I was still preparing for a jewelry party where I was planning to introduce my hair accessories that I have been making for the past several months. So instead of having a break down and try and have it at my house we later decided to do it at my moms. Phew! A huge relief. It was narrowed down to pizza bagels and my sis made cool eye ball cookies! The kids ate them before I had a chance to take a pic:) The pic below is my FAVE of my lil munsters:)OK, so what do you dress up as for Halloween on a budget? And I mean a small budget! The weekend before we went to a friends Halloween party, that was kid friendly, and needed to come up with FIVE costumes on a budget. So I ran to Party City and found a vampire costume for Princeton, keeping in mind Jorels vampire costume 2 years ago. Also keeping in mind my massive angel wings that I've had for years. So found the vampire costume for Prince but was not impressed. I then saw the lil spitfire costume! So perfect for my "lil spitfire"! So angels and devils it was. Angel, my eldest, had just joined Taekwondo and had a brand new uniform to sport. He was more than happy to wear that for Halloween:) My original idea was to be an angel and Jorel a vampire and then have the boys dressed up as hybrids, vampire angels! Well, there's not many accessories for vampires so that was another deciding factor on having devils as a part of our family themed Halloween :) So in the long run all I had to buy was angel wings and a halo for Paris-Noel and devil accessories for Jorel and Princeton's lil spitfire costume. Not bad I say.

Paris-Noels 1st steps!!

Wow! That's all I can think. She is growing up so fast. I feel saddened and yet excited with every milestone. She took her official 1st step when she was 9 months and 2 weeks. Shes keeping up with her brothers! Angel took his 1st steps a week before he turned 10 months and Princeton took his at a mere 8 months!! He's been keeping me busy ever since!

Paris was the best "Oops" there ever was! I could not imagine my life without my baby girl! I always thought that I would only have boys and really had no desire to have a girl. I guess God had a different plan for my life and boy am I glad he did! I wouldn't exchange her for the world! I love you baby girl!

Princeton turns 3!

Here is my ball of energy! My baby boy just turned 3 and I'm hoping this is the begining of the end of the "terrible 2's"! I don't see an end in sight yet but since he's talking more the communication barrier is slowly lifting, Halleluah! He is my little lover though. He can't give me enough kisses and hugs in the day. He's hard to deal with but at the same time so full of life and love! I wouldn't change him for the world! Happy Birthday Princeton! I love you!

Last swim of the summer!

This trip was our last trip of the summer to my parents home in Radford, VA. It's in the mountains of VA and a beautiful town. I love going to get away from the city and relax on the boat or in swimming in the lake.

Here is one of my favorite expressions that Paris-Noel makes. She has many and I was glad that I was able to get this one:)

This shot was so cute, the boys were so intrigued with the sea turtles, wish that mans arm didn't get in the way. So I'm new at the whole blogging thing. I'm learning as I go, so bare with me as I try and figure out how to manage this site. I am NOT computer savvy! So it's taking a while. I also need to figure out how to un-follow myself. I don't know how I did that. Its embarrassing. You have 1 follower... yourself. Boy oh boy.

This was the shark tank. Every time a shark went by Princeton would close his eyes :) I was cracking up! It was so cute:) Angels trying to appear afraid.

The men of the family:)

OK, here I am with my 3 kids, Angel-10, Princeton-soon to be 3, Paris-Noel is 8 months. I think that this may be one of the only pics I have of me with all three of my kids. I'm the one always behind the camera :) Paris was not cooperating, she was so intrigued with the small water fall, that was making a lot of noise, behind us. This was one of our 1st summer outings. Angel had just returned from MN, visiting his dad. We took them to the Marine Science Museum.

Here are my two boys, whom I am very proud of!:) Angel, my eldest, has just returned from visiting his father and Princeton is so excited to get his older brother back. Can't you just see it in his face?
