This really happened...

Seriously, what would I do without these guys? They let me dress them up in Christmas pajamas and then go for a drive around to look at Christmas lights. Asher was more excited for the promise of ice cream afterward than the actual lights. I think he figures "seen one set of lights, seen them all." Sienna was just irritated with her outfit period. Ah, the stuff of memories.

Sienna's face pretty much sums up her feelings on red polka dots

Halloween2013: The farmer and his piglet

Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE to dress up kids in costumes. I think it's hilarious to see a baby dressed up as an animal or as a lobster in a pot- you name it, I think it's all so cute and funny! I've always had more than one costume for my kids every Halloween- I have a problem. My name is Katie and I'm a kids' costume-aholic.

This year, for their main costumes, Asher was a farmer and Sienna was a piglet. Some people who will not be named on this blog (MOTHER) thought that dressing Sienna as a pig was mean! Excuse me for thinking a little squishy baby dressed as a pig is one of the cutest things on God's green earth. Who doesn't love a baby pig? It's un-American if you don't.

We went to Daddy's office for their Halloween luncheon and then after dinner put the costumes on yet again and went trick or treating to my aunt and uncle's house and our good family friends the Daste's house as has become tradition. Then it was home and to bed. Thankfully we only get like three groups of trick or treaters so Jeremy and I didn't have to share any of our candy.

Nothing cuter than a two year old saying "twick or tweat," except equally cute maybe is a baby dressed up as a piglet...

First Mother's Day - May 8, 2011

 
Me and my best Mother's Day Gift ever!

My first Mother's Day was wonderful!  Jeremy gave me two things I've wanted for a few days now- time for a bath and a nap. I enjoyed both!  Asher and the pupalups gave me a trip to the spa.  I can't wait to schedule it!  We enjoyed breakfast prepared by Brother Patrick with Grandma Mary and Grandpa Don with a special guest appearance by Great Grandma Ralphie.  We then enjoyed dinner with Grandma Jane and Grandpa Jerry.  Asher was nearing meltdown at that point though- he'd had enough of the festivities.  A special memory is Jeremy putting his Burberry tie on Asher and almost instantly Asher threw up all over it only to follow it up with a huge grin.  It was pretty classic Asher!
