A year ago today

A year ago today I gave birth for a third time. I was induced(also for a third time)at midnight. I expected my labor to be quick and easy(epidural). Well it was neither quick nor easy. I ended up being in labor for 17 hours!!! My epidural quit working after 10 hours. So I would definitely say I labored, and he was worth every second of it. My life has been forever changed because of him. I am in love.

The count down

It's hard to believe that my baby is turning one tomorrow. Where did the months go? Well here's where 11 of them went. I'll post 12 months on Thursday. I bet you hardly wait, huh?

*The 9 got cropped out .But I couldn't resist this picture*

Happy Halloween

Yahoo it's Halloween. The one day in which it's completely acceptable to take candy from strangers. I love Halloween. It fed my childhood addictions to candy. I know every kid likes candy but not like I did. I would hoard it, organize it and stare at my pretties. I still like candy but my taste are more refined. I'd way rather have Sees or Sprinkles then a snickers bar. But it's hard to pass up the buckets of candy in my kitchen. I am not known for my will power. I hope everyone has a fun/safe night.

Halloweens past

Growing up I had to be really creative at Halloween time. Lets face it I was the youngest of EIGHT kids, my mom was over it. Never would I get the plastic she-ra outfit with the plastic mask(I'm thankful now).Instead I would rummage thru My sisters closet and see what I would come up with>baby, cheerleader, punk rocker, mime, etc. So now I like to go all out for my boys. Some time its a homemade, sometimes store bought depending on what they want to be. Enjoy my trip down memory lane..........................
Max's 1st Halloween! I was so excited to dress us up/and get free candy again. We were Germans.This year Max was a Monster. I just made a new eye for the costume to jazz it up.
The witch and her toad. Halloween got really fun. Max got into the trick or treating this year.
Now we have Ollie. I made him a little chick costume while Max was a rooster.
Max really wanted be a moustache this year. So we settled for just wearing one. And the first thing that came to mind was copper. So Ollie was our jail bird(totally appropriate).
This year I got a little lazy. We rehashed the monster and Max had to be a bat. Sadly enough I could not find any pictures but the ones below. If anybody has some pictures that they could give me I would greatly appreciate it.
C'mon you gotta love The Mario brothers. They had all the poses down. Once again moustaches. For some reason little boys in moustaches make me giggle.
And now we come upon this year 2008, which I will post tomorrow. Sorry for the long post.

A little treat

Remember how I told you how Scott is really not shy? Well this proves my point. On his second day of work at Quicksilver it was Halloween. The theme was Carnival and this is what he was. I was impressed. I think from there on out he was known as the weird dude who was cotton candy.

Gangsta

The most glorious thing has been happening in my crib. Actually I mean Harper's crib. The kid loves to hang out in there. When he gets bummed on life he loves to chill in his bed. Today I put him down to sleep and an hour later when I checked in on him he was staring at the wall with a smile on his face! Then he slept for 2 hours on top of that!(cha-ching) At nap #2 I heard him wake up and then giggling. When I went in I found this..........Now i don't know if Ollie slipped him the blade or what, but he was SO happy to have it. I hope this phase lasts>

Max a year ago today

      **I saw this picture and I freaked out at how much Max has changed in a year.**
I will be surprised if anyone I know dies today, cuz max blessed everyone we know not to die like 5 times(no joke) in his prayers last night. So fill free to live a little dangerously today, your covered.
