Halloween fun!

 Liam's first Halloween! Of course he was not old enough to enjoy it but MaKenzie and Titan sure did! They loved all of the Halloween festivities. We had pumpkin carving, a fall festival, trick or treating at the community center, trick or treating in the park, haunted house fun on base and trick or treating in the neighborhood. It was a busy weekend but the kids loved every second of it. It was so much fun watching them run around in their costumes say trick or treat. Titan was so into it this year and at one point gave up his scooby doo costume for a captain america costume. He really loved it. MaKenzie was a cowgirl and was so cute! All three of them are so stinkin' adorable! :)

 

 

 

25 years old!

It's hard to believe that I am 25 years old. Half way to fifty. A quarter of a century! For some reason, my birthday just did not start off on a good note. I was very thankful to be spending my birthday around family and friends, but the curse of the 22nd still follows me and I was not in a good mood, no matter how hard I tried! I did love spending time with my family. Aunt Dot made my birthday dinner, tacos.. my favorite! They were so good. Then we had cake and presents!

 

 

I was spoiled :) Thank you very much for all of my presents from my hubby and kids, Dot & Tad, The 4 C's, Grandma, mom and sisters, Brad James, Bailey and Tarron and Chad! I loved everything!! I especially loved the company! At 25 years old, I couldn't be more happy with my life. I know that I was destined to be a mommy and a wife. Being a mommy is the biggest joy in the world, I am especially thankful that I am able to stay home with them. It's the most rewarding job of all and I wouldn't have it any other way!! 

 

Adventure Dome!

We had Titan's big birthday party on the 16th, but we wanted to do something special and fun for him on his actual birthday the 20th! With the help of Uncle James getting us free tickets to the Adventure Dome we were able to take him there! It is always so much fun watching the kids run from ride to ride. We rode the bumper carts first and they loved it! I was not a fan, though. When you bump into another car it's pretty hard.. I didn't like it at all. They had fun, though!

 

The Pirate Ship ride was scary, for me! I am a bit of a baby, but still.. it was scary. The kids loved it at first then after like the 100th stomach drop they finally had enough and thankfully it ended shortly after that. After this, Arek and I rode the roller coaster. It was pretty scary but I didn't mind it! I am excited for when Kenzie and Titan will be able to ride the big rides. MaKenzie was two inches to short for the Roller Coaster! Although, she didn't care.. she was not wanting to ride it at all! :)

MaKenzie had to ride the Frog Hopper ride by herself. For some reason Titan was not going anywhere near it. We tried several times to convince him but he was just not having it! MaKenzie loved it though and rode it a couple times!

 

 

 Liam hung out with Grandma most of the time. She spoiled him with lots of hugs and kisses and he watched us ride a lot of the rides. It's going to be so much fun when he gets bigger and can join in on the action!

 

 

 Liam and Grandma did join us on the Merry Go Round, though :) Liam's first ride! 

 

Harley is as big of a baby as I am when it comes to rides, if not more :) So Arek had to trick her into this line then force her on the ride! haha. She had a lot of fun though and obviously, she survived ;) After this one he made her go on the Inverter, too! Arek and I came back to the Adventure Dome the next night for "Fright Dome" and made me ride the Inverter, too. Scariest ride ever. You hang upside down for what seems like forever and it feels like you are going to fall out of your seat. Hated it! Harley was brave though! 

Kenzie and Titan with Uncle James! They love where he works and were so happy he got them tickets and we were able to spend Titan's birthday there. It was a fun day! Thank you Uncle James! We did finish off in the arcade and carnival area so the kids could play a little. It was a great time!

The Singh's Visit!

Definitely the best surprise I have had in a long time.. The Singh's met us in Las Vegas! It was so wonderful to see them.. we have missed them so much! They spent Sunday afternoon with us at Titan's party. Then we met up with them later in the night for dinner at Dick's! It was a fun restaurant.

 

 

 

Then we met up with them Monday afternoon to walk around the Forum Shops, then later that night walk the strip. We watched the Treasure Island Pirate Show and Bellagio water show. It was so good to see them and spend some time with them. Of course it wen by way too fast and we miss them already! I can't believe how big Antonio has gotten. The kids loved playing together at Titan's party. I definitely wish we had more time with them though!

 

The Singh's are like family to us and hold a special place in our heart! We love them very much and are so thankful for such a great friendship with them!

My four year old boy!

Just the same with Kenzie and Liam, I wonder where the heck the time has gone with Titan. Four years flew by in the blink of an eye and my baby boy is now so big! I am so proud of the little man that he has become. He is such a sweet boy and really such a lover, but if you make him mad you better watch out. My favorite thing is how much he truly adores his sister. If anyone is mean to MaKenzie he is right there to defend her. Whenever she is sad he is right there to comfort her. He has such a great bond with her. Now, with Liam he is already showing his love and is so sweet to him!

He has come so far with wanting to learn and do workbooks. He is working his was down his alphabet right now and I am very proud of him being able to point out and identify capital letters! He will be starting school next fall and I know he will follow his sisters footsteps as such a smart boy! He has such a likeable and unique personality. I have never met anyone like him. You can't help but smile at him, even when he is being a brat. Much like his daddy.. so maybe I have met someone like him ;) 

 

 

 

 

On Titan's birth day, we were in Fort Drum, NY.. so we were not able to have family there when I delivered him. Then on his 1st and 2nd birthday we were in NY also. So he was not able to have family at those birthdays. His 3rd birthday we were in Arizona and noone was able to make it down that weekend. (We were lucky to have our Army Family at these birthdays though!) So for his 4th birthday we wanted to make sure he was able to have a huge party. It worked out perfectly that we were able to take leave to go to Vegas for his birthday. It was a special day for him and I know that he loved it. He was definitely spoiled! We had a great turn out for his party and We loved being able to seeing everyone :) Thank you to everyone who came!
