Halloween Fun!!

This Halloween was so funny. I decided to buy both of the kids a costume this year. Alex said he wanted to be a black knight and Hannah a leopard. So after $100 spent for these costumes you will notice Alex is not a black knight. We had a bunch of parties this month so he wore his black knight outfit to the first one, batman pjs to the next, scary skeleton to the next and finally on Halloween night he said he wanted to be a football player. Note to myself don't buy him a costume next year. Haha. Hannah loved her leopard outfit and wore it out. You will notice Teca was a princess. Hannah dressed her in her build a bear clothes. She had a blast for her first Halloween.

Fun At The Fair!!

This is the third year the kids have rode the elephant at the fair. They always have so much fun. Mommy did not ride with them this year because they are getting so big. We had a blast as usual. We eat gyros, frisk fries, and ice cream. Yum Yum. The kids really enjoyed the rides this year. Alex loves rollercoasters. Hannah and Mommy rode a water ride three times. It was awesome. A little scary but fun. We can't wait to go again next year. Until then....

The First Day Of School!!

Look at my little ones on the first day of school. Hannah was starting Kindergarten and Alex Child Development. They were so excited that they would be at the same school. I am very excited too because it make my life easier. They look so cute in their uniforms. Notice the lunchboxes that they picked out. Alex- Spiderman and Hannah- Hannah Mantana. No surprises there. My little ones are growing up so fast. I will keep you posted at how they do....

A Tribute To My Dad!!

Well it has been a while since I have written a blog. It has been a rough summer. In June I received a phone call that my dad was having emergency bowel surgery. He ended up having one complication after another and unfortunately his battle ended on August 9th. He gave a good fight but his body is finally at peace. I will miss being able to call and talk to him about the kids. He always loved talking to Hannah. Hannah asked me recently to call Granddad. I told her he had gone to heaven. She asked if she could take an airplane to see him. It was so innocent and cute. I really grew closer to my dad over the past few years. I think he really loved being a part of the grandkids lives. I will truly miss him. I hope he is watching over all of us and enjoying all of the good parts of our lives and helping us through the rough patches. I love you Dad!!

My Tubing Boys!!

We have really enjoyed the boat this year. Alex has had a blast tubing. Here is a picture of him and Daddy after tubing. He really likes to tube with Mommy better because he does not like getting too wet. Mommy always wants to go slow so no one will get hurt. He loves it. His favorite thing to do at the lake is fish. He has not caught a fish to date however he loves trying. Picking up worms and crickets is a lot of fun. Until next time....

My Little Munchkin!!!

This year in Hannah's dance recital she was a munchkin. This was part of the Wizard of Oz. It was an excellent performance. It combined dancing with acting. She really did great. Mimi and Papa Dude came to watch. The flowers she is holding came from her mommy and daddy. Wow how quickly they grow. Until next time...

The Surfer Boy!!!

Our little surfer boy. Alex loved surfing this year at the beach. The only thing is he liked to surf on the sand and not the water. He really is obsessed with surf boards. We had to get him a surfing towel from Pottery Barn for the trip. He has a surf board bathing suit as well. Look at how cute he is. Everyone on the beach was laughing because he surfed for hours. Even falling off the board every now and then. Until next time....
