Taking after mom

During lunch, I sat at the table with the kids and found Aden reading a book while eating...

Since he started reading, I see him do things (like brush his teeth, eating, etc. ) while reading a book. He reminds me so much of myself...this is something that I do quite often. And today, I had to take a picture since I caught a glimpse of myself in my boy and made me so happy that he loves to read!

Halloween 2011

This is a post I haven't made before - Halloween pictures! That is because this is the first year my kids decided they want to do Halloween. Actually, Aden decided that he will give Halloween a chance...at the last minute. After I picked him up from school, we went to Freddy's. Talked to him about Halloween and sort of talked him into it. We found a costume on the rack (for a fraction of the price!) and we were set! Kadence costume came from the Tillett's, so we were set! I made an impromptu call to the Tilletts and joined in the fun. Aden loved it - mostly the running around part with his friends. Kadence had a good time too, although had a hard time catching up to the big kids. Thanks to Dad who took her to each door. Neither one of them wanted anything to do with the candy, which made me so proud of them. Aden wanted to save the candy to give away to kids next year! Funny kid.

Perfect October day at the beach

We made an impromptu beach trip last weekend. It was a short trip - but it was definitely worth it! A nice, warm day at the beach at the end of October is what we needed.

My Romeo

My sweet boy - I get something like this at least once a week! He's such a sweet, sentimental and sensitive boy. He's definitely my little charmer!

Big Girl Bed

Our baby is officially a big girl! She transitioned to her big girl bed first week of October. I was really afraid that Kadence will have a hard time giving up her crib - she loved sleeping in there and had never tried to crawl in and out of it (both of our kids never tried to get out of their cribs!) Good thing we had a good excuse to move on to a big girl bed...new baby in the group! I was a little sad to see the crib go...it was a sign that our kids are growing up way too fast.

Kadence did so well and up to this day, we haven't had any issues of her sleeping in her bed. She just loves it! Even nap time is not an issue. I am so amazed! She picked out her own sheets and everything and she's loved it ever since!
