AAARRRGGGG! Yo Ho Ho!

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love the costumes and I love the season that comes with Halloween. Gabby always wants to be a princess, something cute and girly which must include frills. Well I really wanted Isaac to be a pirate and I really wanted them to be matching. I usually make their costumes but really didn't want to this year, well I found Isaac's costume and fell in love with it. So I checked out all the girl pirate costumes when I stumbled upon Gabby's. I loved it immediately and thought Gabby would too but I wasn't sure, I hoped maybe I could convince her and if not I could easily return it so I bought it. To my luck she loved it when she saw it and it was settled, I got what I wanted and so did Gabby as a cute frilly, girly pirate that looks a little like a musketeer (think Barbie and the Musketeers). Loved the costumes so much I even dressed up to match which I never do.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Birthday boy

One year ago today Isaac came into our lifes. He has been such a joy in our lifes and we are so glad we have him. I can't believe that a whole year has gone by. I really just want him to slow down and stay my baby for awhile longer, but he just isn't interested in being a baby. Pete was so excited he was going to have his birthday this week that he put him forward facing in his car seat on sunday, it made me cry that my baby is growing. Sadly I just learned today they are supposed to stay rear facing until they are 2. I'm not sure how that will go over with though so I guess I will do some research online about it.

Well here are his birthday pictures. We did a trash the cake session and it was lots of fun. I hadn't really planned on doing a whole lot but Gabby was so excited about his birthday she invited her friends to come. So we had a mini impromptu birthday gathering. Nothing special or big was so much fun. Thanks for coming and sharing this day with us, we were really sad that our family couldn't be with us. And as you can tell Isaac had a blast.

This is my sister in laws cute cute family. We really miss getting to see them and Gabby just can't stop talking about her cousins. I have to admit this was a tough session and we didn't think we had gotten anything but I am really happy with the way these turned out. For those of you who don't know my sister in laws family their oldest is autistic and their baby has a very rare genitic disorder and well Hank is Hank, he's all boy. I think that Sherry is a super mom, seriously, she is amazing with the challenges she faces each day. I look up to her and admirer her and hope to be as good a mom as she is. I am really glad I got to do your family pictures before we moved. I know it was crazy but it was so worth it. Love you guys.

Oh Daiana you are so going to love me! Your pictures are done and I think they turned out great. Here is another sneak peak and of course I had to show you how cute Lelia is in her costume.

Jared and Peter grew up together (next door neighbors) and Pete often tells me Jared was instumental in keeping him in line and him turning out the way he did. We lived next door to them for the summer before we left for Seattle and had a great time with them. It was fun for me to get to know some of Pete's friends and hear about his childhood. We really miss our sunday sit long, talk much's. We just don't know what to do with ourselfs on sundays anymore.
