Happy Halloween

 Yes...that is my sweet little Tinker Bell!

Its so hard to watch my kids grow up.  It is happening way to fast!

Addie really enjoyed all the Halloween fun this year.  From two different Trunk or Treating events to good ole Trick or Treating!  She really got good at saying Trick or Treat by the end of the night :)

Getting our pumpkins ready!

Batman enjoyed sitting on the fire truck!

And of course playing games is one of his favorites!

Go Purple!

Both of my sweet babies are in school now!  I can't believe it!

Each week they celebrate a color and this week is was purple!

 

 

Go Ravens!

Happy Birthday Batman!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Zach's 4th Birthday!
I can't believe he is 4! The time goes by so fast. My little man...is really turning in to a little man!
It's just crazy!

His newest love is Batman, so naturally having a Batman themed party was a must! Complete with costumes! It was so cute! All of his little friends and cousins came dressed as their favorite superhero. His place of choice...Pump It Up! His second favorite place on earth!

His little sister had to arrive in style of course! And my dear friend Terri taught me how how to make my first tutu! Our daughters are sweet friends so we thought it would be fun to have the girls dressed alike! So they matched in their tutu's and Addie and her big brother had matching shirts!
Super Cute!

My sister in law, Teri made these amazing cupcakes!
She did such a great job decorating them!

Brotherly/Sisterly Love!

Happy Birthday Handsome Boy!
Mommy and Daddy love you!

Oh the Joy....

of having two children under the age of 4! Our life is super busy!!!!
We have had a great start to 2012!
We went on our yearly trip to Massanutten with Chris' family...then headed to TN to visit with my grandparents! This trip was wonderful! Zach did much better with the pool this year and of course Addie has no fear! It was great to see all of the cousins together!
In March, my little man turned 4 and I also became an aunt again!
So that was so much fun!
Zach of course wanted his party at Pump It Up and I will post those pics as soon as I download them from my camera! His obsession with Batman has grew so he was super excited to have a superhero birthday where his friends got to come dressed as their favorite superhero!
Now with May around the corner, I am preparing for my sweet baby to turn 2!
I just can't believe how quickly the time has gone by!
In January, we had a family photo shoot with one of my dear friends from church!
I have decided to post a few of my favs...

I could post them all I love them so much!
Poor little peachy was so sick on this day, but she hung in there!

I will soon post pics from our superhero party!

Thanks for continuing to follow my posts even though I don't get around to updating them as much as I used to. I will try harder!

Christmas Fun!

I know! I know! It has been forever! Life is so crazy busy that I feel like I have less time to do the things I love...like blogging! I am really going to try to focus on it more as well as the other things that I have stopped doing! Poor little Addie...her scrapbooks and baby book from her first year aren't even finished yet! Zach's was finished and on display at his first birthday party! Amazing how drastic life changes with two! I have promised myself to get better :)

So Christmas was a blast this year! Zach was totally into it and LOVED all the festivities and presents! We did our traditional holiday gathering with our Urban side of the family and all the kids made gingerbread houses! It was so much fun! Christmas Eve was spent with my side of the family playing games...more gingerbread houses...and of course our family tradition of making Jesus his birthday cake! This year the kids picked cupcakes to serve! They were also very excited about leaving Santa his cookies and milk and of course carrots for the reindeer! Zach really got a kick out of this in the morning we he woke up to find the food missing and the carrots half eaten! It was a wonderful time celebrating with family!

Getting our cupcakes ready!

Santa came to visit us twice! Zach was so lucky!

It just doesn't get any cuter than this!
