Drakes Hair cut

I've buzzed Drakes hair probably 3 times before but that was when he had wispy baby hair that was just longer in some places and it really didn't make that big of a difference. This time his hair was so long! I've been wanting to go get it cut for a while now, but we just decided to buzz it again. As soon as I started I got kinda sad! He looks so much older I think, but it looks so much better. It really was so long!

And of course June needed a picture too:)

October in Review

I know I am way behind but these pictures are too cute! We went to Vertuccio farms to get in the Halloween spirit and pick out some pumpkins. We had a lot of fun there!

Drake is obsessed with June's little 4-wheeler so she takes him for rides. He absolutely loves it it really is the cutest thing!

We had a little halloween party with some friends and I know I took more pictures but I can't find them. But here are our pumpkins we carves. The mummy on the right won the contest:) (Spencer and Aly!)

My beautiful Cinderella

And my handsome frog prince:)

Headed to the trunk or treat

June and her cute friend Shamus

Morgan was the cutest little cheetah/kitty ever!

She loved loved loved saying tick or treat and getting all the candy!

Halloween night we went to a little neighborhood pot luck then we went and trick or treated over in Matt's parents neighborhood so they could see the kids! Such a fun Halloween! June would run up to each door and say trick or treat then run back to us with the biggest smile on her face. She got tired about half way around the neighborhood so we carried her to the next house but i'd set her down and she'd still run up to the door and run back to us. She LOVED it! Halloween is so much more fun with kids!

Oh Christmas Tree

Did this pose all on her own:)

I love having our christmas tree up! It might be a little ghetto, but I love it! June got a sleeping beauty ornament this year and drake got Jiminy Cricket that June picked out for him:)

Things to remember

MY kids are at such fun age right now. I am seriously loving it... most days! I went through a rough about 2 weeks with both whiney whiney kids and I was about to trade my job in for a new one, but we are back to having some good days now and I don't want to forget some of the things my kids do right now! June is so sweet and so funny. I just look at her and I want her to stay this age forever. I wish I could remember everything about her at this age and remember all the fun and good days we have. She absolutely adores her brother. Anywhere we go people always comment on how sweet she is to him. She is constantly asking him if he's ok giving him hugs, she might be smothering but she loves him. She will randomly throughout the day tell me how much she loves me. She says the funniest things. She is so smart and sassy.

Drakes Party

We had just a little get together to celebrate on Drakes Birthday. We just had pizza and cake and ice cream with some friends and family. It was so much fun though and thank you to everyone who came to celebrate Drake! This car is what Drake woke up to. He loves anything he can ride on so when my mom asked what she could get him I told her something he can ride on! This little truck is perfect! He was and still is in heaven. He love love loves this. It was really hard not having my parents here for his birthday, I just missed them a lot that week, but Drake knows his grandma and grandpa love him!!

This is what happened a lot of the day. June really is getting better about sharing with her brother, but she loved the car too!

This picture cracks me up! He is so little in it! haha

Drake loves his Nana!

Griffin loved the car too!

Julie suprised me and knocked in the door during the middle of the party! I knew she was coming, but she said her flight was delayed so she never told me when she got there and she took a cab to my house! I was so mad she took a cab! but I was so excited to see her!!

Drake loved all his presents. Thanks to everyone that spoiled him!!! He wasn't too big of a fan of opening them, so the older kids helped out, but once they were opened he love them!
