You will all agree there is nothing better then seeing your man in a tailored tux.

Happy Halloween Matthew was a little sPider

So late post but it was my birthday on September 28 and yep I am 28 wow crazy.
I went to the orthodontist and they said that I could chose a pumpkin off the wall for good brushing. I think they think I am in high school. The chair next to me was a 12 year girl that looked at me and said "LUCKY". Besides that I went to work and came home to my adorable husband and son, then my family came over.
Well nothings better then being with my family.

Facing Forward

So that is where I will begin
because you know that feeling when you haven't written in your
journal forever and so much has happened that
you just don't know where to begin.

Well we got Matthew a forward facing car seat.

He loves it. Every time I looked back at him he giggled so hard.
I had never heard him giggle that hard with out tickling him.

But I almost got in 5 accidents because I could not stop looking at him.

All aboard

Moments that I want bottle up and save forever

Matthew is 10 months today it has flown by

Moments that I want bottle up and save forever

• like when I rush home from a 3 hour (or people that know me know that its 4 hour) work day I kneel on the ground and he smiles so big and Matt puts him down and he crawls so fast to greet me.
• just holding him as he falls asleep
• when we take a bath together I wrap a towel around him
• mornings when he just wants to be held
• feeding him and he holds on to my shirt and those big blue eyes look at me
• changing his diaper and squeezing those thighs
• Watching his face cover in excitement when Papa Matt walks in the room
• Those open mouth kiss he lays on my cheek mm mm pure slobber
• singing gibberish
• when he giggles

We miss Avery she is in Cali. Cant wait to see her.
She likes sweet potatoes.

We are so sad we are missing Mila and Clavin in this picture.
