Halloween 2014



About a month before Halloween the girls and I started talking about a few different things the girls could dress up for for Halloween. We went over just about everything but a Disney Princess. Don't get me wrong! I love Disney, and I love the princesses, but, at least from where I sit, dressing up in a princess dress is not dressing up. Because some days that is all I can get them to wear. When your "everyday" outfit is a princess dress it doesn't really count as dressing up. Now does it?

Luckily about a week before Halloween we finally decided . . . Pepper was going to be a pirate and Izzy was going to be a witch. I had most everything we needed to complete those outfits, so even better. However, Halloween day came and wouldn't you know it, that was not what Pepper wanted to be. I also found out that being a witch was too scary! Great! What was I going to do now? 

Well, with the help of my mom and a few old costume boxes she still has we were able to find a few outfits that everyone could agree to.

Pepper was a Cowboy or girl and Izzy was an Indian


They really were cute! Kinda glad they didn't want to be the original ideas. 

 Jax was a pee in a pod.

The night really was nice and we ended up getting a lot more candy than I thought we would because we only went up and down one street. But I guess when you are as cute as my kids, that is just what you get.

It's only been forever!

Ya, I'm not the best blogger, I know.
And it always seems the busier your life gets the more you have to blog about, but the less time you have to blog. Oh, well. At least I can say I blogged today.

So, what has happened in my life since last blog?


Well, I had this little guy.

Meet Jax Ninian Whittaker.

First off, I don't care how great you think your kids are, this boy takes the cake. Easiest labor ever, loves to just hang out (in your arms, on the couch, in his bed, he doesn't care), never had to learn how to be breast-fed, and here's the kicker . . . . at one month old . . . . sleeps through the night!

I keep pinching myself. Is this kid for real?


Yes, yes he is.
