Trick or treat fool!

Being the mother of the year that I am, I have TONS of amazing photos from our INCREDIBLE Halloween weekend for you to browse through...because I'm that awesome. Or not. In fact, my camera sucks monkey butt. Not only did it take crappy pictures, but some one forgot to charge the battery. Yeahhhh. So enjoy the random pictures we managed to salvage.

{Lock up your daughters, this one's gonna be a heart breaker}

{Mason huffing candy in the corner...holy sugar high batman}


{Jordan dressed up as my love slave....meow}

{Bathroom photo shoots with the girls....look at my little bug}

{My superheroes and little bug....man, we make good babies}

{Mason's throwing out the vibe...settle down ladies, he's only 5}


{The ladies of the night...aren't my besties hot?}

{Little Miss Rozzi celebrating her 1st Halloween...those leggings. I die!}

{Achilles's loves showing off his nuts.....HAHAA!}

{What's a holiday without a coordinating bow?!
Thanks to Miss Madison's Mommy for sending us this amazing headband!}

It was an AMAZING weekend overall...you're just gonna have to take my word for it. HAA! Hope you all had an amazing weekend!! And thanks to all those who participated in 'Did I ever tell you'....I've got some freaky friends!! BWAHAHA! And man, I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who drank pickle juice.....nasties.

I shanked a pumpkin...

Well after obsessing for the last week over what the crap we were going to carve our prized pumpkins out to be, desperation inspiration FINALLY hit! And let me tell you that after 2 days of searching for these suckers and a WEEK of debating what the freak to carve them as, we were ready to cut and gut these bad boys. I didn't know it was possible to harbor bad feelings towards fruit, but alas IT IS! And yes, it's a fruit...I'm just as shocked as you are.

Jordan and I even threw out some pre-carving butt kicking lines to the pumpkins...yeah, we're hardcore like that. Nothing screams maturity like yelling "I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick butt, and I'm all out of bubblegum" to a pumpkin. But we had a blast with the kids and ended up with some totally radical results...Take a peek for yourself...

{You guys are going DOWN! HA!}

{Don't let the smile fool you...she was a beast!}

{A little father-son bonding...over knives and destruction}

{Even the dogs wanted in on the action...}

{The only thing Boogie cared about was taking his glamour shots...}

{Yeah...soak it all in...awesomeness at its best}

peee eesss....thanks for all the sweet comments on my last post...you guys rock :)

Yup, I'm THAT Mom...

I can't wait to tell you the winner winner chicken dinners of the ol' blog giveaway....but first feast your eyes on some cute pictures of my kids (and other random crap)!! I like to keep these pictures handy so that after long 3 day weekends full of explosive diapers, sugar induced tantrums, no naps, frazzled nerves, and lack of sleep, I can take a step back and remember what it's all about....the good times...

Apparently something was very shocking....

We went to the zoo and saw the weirdest looking koala bears...

As we celebrate the 4th....

I think I've watched this video one too many times, and still, it gives me chills...There's just something about the day and age that we live in that has made my pride for our country rise to a whole new level. And as we get ready to celebrate our nations birthday...the day our freedom was restored, I hope we can keep in mind the true meaning of the day.

I can not even begin to express my undying gratitude for the brave men and women of our country that fight to uphold our beliefs, to defend our country, to give us our freedom. As we have our bbq's, let our flags wave high, and watch the sky burst with beauty, let's keep in mind the amazing people who make this all possible.

As I sat and watched this video, comfortable in my home, I thought of the men and women in the trenches, on the front line, torn away from their families, alone, and I am so saddened...but even more, I am just proud.

I have so much emotion that words just can not capture. Words can not do justice to the sacrifice that these countless number of men and women make. And not just soldiers, but their families as well.

So thank you to all those who serve our country, we celebrate this day for you and because of you. You are truly my heroes.
