Family Photos are DONE!

Yay! So we got our family photos done over a month ago and the photographer just let out her copies of the photos for us to share with our family and friends (we weren't allowed to purchase the digital files of the photos =( so that was a bit of a bummer) Ours haven't come in the mail yet so I can't wait to see them all crisp and up close.  I am holding one of the shots back since it is going to be our holiday card this year but we did order those too and they should be here pretty soon! 

I should note that even though I intended to go for more of a fun theme this year, I procrastinated a little too much and so we went with simple and "safe."  Someday though I will have those awesome, fun family pics =)

Halloween and Family Time

Well hey there! My goodness, life has been a little hectic and a little boring (if that's possible??) Jax and Izzy have been growing and changing so much!  Isabel has officially said her first word "dada" and she is eating mostly solid foods now, just breastfeeding before naps/bedtime.   She can roll EVERYWHERE and she is ALMOST crawling.  She smiles more and more everyday and she has everone wrapped around her finger =).  I am constantly amazed at the things Jax picks up... So tonight after tripping over his little stool in the kitchen for the third time (and after a very long and tiring day and night of nursing 2 sick kiddos) I flipped... I kicked the stool and turned on the mean mommy voice "this thing can't be in here anymore!" Well Jax just happened to be sitting at the kitchen counter and informed me straight away that I wasn't "being very nice" and he was "very dissapointed in me."  Then he brought his stool back into the kitchen and placed it under the sink and said "mommy next time just say Jackson please move this and I will come and move it for you." Needless to say I felt pretty bad about the whole thing and appologized for my outburst and he got to walk away feeling pretty good about himself LOL.  The kids have their first colds of the season and lemme tell ya, this momma's tired! 



We had an awesome time at the pumpkin patch this last weeked and we came home with some pretty nice pumpkins (which still need to be carved.)  I started decorating the front porch for Halloween and its looking pretty cute! I got some bats and gravestones from Michaels and I already did a crafty pom pom pumkin that I saw on pinterest.  I am still planning on doing a glitter pumpkin and then carving the other two.  


We haven't been able to get much work done on the house but I did order some more cute pillowcases on Etsy and some cute target canisters and I LOVE them! I am trying to bring more fun colors into the house... I am usually a beige, brown, blue girl.




Here are some pics from Pumpkin patchin...



And... her shoes didn't exactly fit...
