Fall Happenings

Our Fall has been off to a great start, we've had lots of fun events and parties. I was able to attend both Jbird and Bean's harvest celebration luncheon at school. Halloween was the highlight of the past few weeks but now we are looking forward to our family trip to Disney World. The boys are going to lose their minds. My mom is coming with us (thank goodness for that) and I am just excited for all the fun things that we are going to do.

You know how much I love matching, it is no surprise that I got us a set of matching shirts for our day at the Magic Kingdom. Our shirts are here and I am so happy to get our Disney adventure started next week. This is going to be our first trip to Disney as a family of 5.

I was able to attend Bean's harvest celebration at school. I am so happy that he is big enough to have activities at school that I can attend

 Selfie time with my baby :)

 This face, you are killing me with your cuteness Bean

 Those beautiful big brown eyes

I was also fortunate to attend Jbird's harvest celebration. I am happy they didn't do it on the same day. Jbird was so happy to see me, it was definitely an awesome surprise for him

 I love how happy my Jbird was the entire luncheon

We celebrated hubby's mom's birthday. The boys destroyed her cake and loved every minute of it. We forgot to get a candle so they had to pretend there was one on top of the cake and blow it; they were hilarious

We've been hanging out with my grandma every weekends this Fall. Saturday mornings are always chaotic in our house but we do it all with a huge smile because we can

When Tman is in a good mood and request to have his picture taken, I indulge. I mean look at that perfect face and smile.

My friend S came over to visit and had a great time helping Tman make some cookies. Tman was so happy for all the attention he was getting

 He was doing a great job with the cookie too

 Of course he gave her a big hug when they were done, that's my boy

 Then she helped all the boys eat their dinner before they could get any cookies

It was so nice to have her come over and spend some quality time with the boys. I love friends that understand the chaos of our lives with kids right now and are willing to dive right in with us :).


I haven't talked about my hair lately because it has been a disaster. We spent so much time in the pool  last Summer that my hair was completely destroyed by September. I have been shedding like crazy and I just couldn't take it anymore.

Hubby took these great pics of me and Jbird and my mom and all I see in the pics is my hair looking crazy

I went to the hairdresser and asked her to cut it all off. Ok, not all of it but you know what I mean. She had fun with it and I must say I am loving the new look :)

 Well hello there bangs, fancy meeting you here

 I didn't think bangs would be my look but it's actually not bad

We've been busy making memories around these parts. With 3 kids in tow, everyday is full of adventure and fun stuff. Our days are long and busy but I must say that I enjoy introducing my boys to new things. What have you been up to lately? Enjoying Fall?

Weekend fun - Trick or Treating

Last weekend was Halloween and let me tell you my boys had the best time. We were busy as usual but you know we wouldn't have it any other way. We went to Tyler's soccer game on Saturday morning as usual. My brother J came this time to cheer on his nephew. Though Tyler did not perform, we enjoyed hanging out with uncle J.

J and Jbird chilling on the side lines. How cute are these two, seriously

After soccer, we went home for nap and chilling before heading out to trick or treat. We went with my grandma and hubby's mom who was excited for her first true Halloween she actually took part in. She didn't dress up but I think I might be able to convince her next year ;). Hubby also did not dress up with us, I guess he could only take it once.

Before we started, we let the boys run around in preparation for all the walking to come :)

Our family ready to go on our hunt. Tman had a meltdown before we started that's why he didnt' want to be in our picture.

The first house was excited to see us in costume so we took a picture with them :). I just love everything about the idea of getting dressed up. Don't mind Tman

Tman and Jbird were just ecstatic to ring door bells and say "trick or treat"

We had a ball going from house to house and stacking up on sweets

Tman was so sweet and gave grandma a kiss to thank her for a great Halloween

On Sunday, we visited my friend B and her new baby boy. Their baby was born last month and we've been dying to meet him. He was just the calmest most adorable baby.

The proud new parents, they were smiling from ear to ear the entire visit

My mom and grandma came with me and Bean while hubby stayed at home with the big boys. We didn't want to overwhelm them with our chaos at least not this early ;).

My grandma is always ecstatic about new babies

Love this picture so much, Bean looks so happy

What an awesome packed weekend we had. The boys loved everything about trick or treating so much so that Tman asked me if we could do it again the next weekend :). Poor kid, he now has to wait a whole year for the excitement. At least he is getting excited. What did you guys do for fun Halloween weekend? Hope it was a good time all around.

A fun day of golf

Hubby's weekend was at the beginning of October and all he wanted to do for his birthday was play a little game of golf. There is an awesome driving range not far from us that also serves food and drinks. We made plans to go the day after his birthday but then the worst rain ever happened that weekend. We decided to reschedule. Our crazy busy weekends prevented us from celebrating until a two weekends ago.

You know how we make everything a production around here. We packed up everyone and turned this into an afternoon of golf and fun with the whole clan. We spent the afternoon, eating, drinking and hitting golf balls. The boys loved every minute of it, Jbird fell asleep as soon as we put him in the car, Tman, Bean and my niece were really into it too, and the rest of the girls just enjoyed watching from the sidelines.

My people hanging out on the sidelines

 My niece looking so grown, love her

 Hubby working it

 My brother H doing his thing

 Then we got the kids involved and they loved it

 My nephew E showing his skills

I was there too :)

 Jbird pretty much slept the whole time we were there

 After a few practice rounds, hubby let Tman go solo

 He was so proud of himself

 Bean of course wanted to do the same

 Oh Bean, you are too young for this

 My sister also gave it a shot before we left

Jbird woke up a few minutes before we left so I let him hit a few balls

 I of course managed to get a group picture of all of us before we left, I love my crew

Our golf outing was such a great success. We are thinking of coming back more often in the Spring when the weather is nice again since the kids really enjoyed themselves too. I am just glad that we were able to do something fun for hubby during his birth month.
