Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to everyone! The boys had a great time. They were very into it once they found out they got candy at each house! :)

Brendan is Pluto and Collin is Mickey Mouse:





Helping Daddy

The boys have been into "helping" lately. All day I hear, "I want to help Mommy!". Yesterday afternoon the weather was beautiful, so Mike decided to let the boys "help" him wash his car. They really had more fun jumping in the water puddles!!




Happy Halloween! Hopefully we'll get some good costume pictures.

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we headed out to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch and had a great time! The weather was gorgeous. The boys have been obsessed with pumpkins since our neighborhood started decorating for Halloween. So they could not wait to go see a pumpkin patch! In fact, they asked me this morning if we could go play with the pumpkins again!

Lots of pictures ahead...Brendan is in red and Collin is in green.











Mike and I squeezed ourselves into these little carts to take the boys on a choo-choo train around the farm! The boys loved it!

World's Greatest Cat

This post is dedicated to our sweet cat, Chloe, who sadly went to heaven this past week. We learned a week ago that she was in chronic renal failure. She was such a fighter because she never showed any signs of being sick until she was really deep in kidney failure.

Chloe was the sweetest cat from the moment I met her at the SPCA. I went there wanting to adopt a sweet and loving cat. She turned on the charm from the time I set foot in her room. She jumped up on my lap, started to purr and rub her head against me. I knew at that moment that I had to take her home with me.

Chloe was with us through Mike and I getting married, moving to our first house and the birth of our boys. She has been nothing but a very loving and affectionate cat. She loved the boys so much and never hid from them, she loved their attention - even if it was sometimes negative. She led a very good life. We are just sad that it had to end so early. I'll leave you with some pictures of our princess Chloe.

This was her perch. The top of the couch was her favorite place to be.

I call this her "queen Chloe" pose

She loved to lay in the sunshine

Chloe was my best bud during my 3 months on bedrest with the boys. She loved having me around 24-7!
