October Recap

I am behind on pictures I really want on my blog for keepsake so bear with me while I do a recap of the month of October so I can move on!

The last 3 years we have gone to the pumpkin patch for the boys birthday with the Holland Family! We continued the tradition this year and the kids loved it as always!

My boys!

Love these pictures running towards Grandpa

Happy boy

All the kiddos

After the pumpkin patch we headed to the mall for dinner at Chick-Fil-A!

This year for the boys' birthdays my parents took them to Build-A-Bear. 

They loved it!

Happy Halloween

My favorite Halloween tradition is soup in pumpkin bread bowls and carving pumpkins! We had a great time last night doing just that.

Guess what...

I went to the doctor today and everything looks great! They did an ultrasound and confirmed that there is only one. Relief. We are very excited for this new addition to join our family! 

The buddies are 5!

5 years ago today I was thrust into motherhood with not 1 but 2 babies. It was one of the most terrifying and wonderful days of my life. I can't believe my little boys have gone from this...

To this

Happy birthday to my buddies! I love being your mom and am grateful for what you teach me every day about myself and being a mom. I hope you have a great day and know how much we love you!

Luke is 2!

Today is this little man's birthday!

We adore him and feel so lucky to have him in our family!

Happy birthday Luke! We love you!

NYC

I had a great weekend with a few of my favorite people in fabulous NYC! My dad put so much thought and effort into planning this trip and it went off without a hitch. 

Gotta love the taxi advertising

The Empire State Building

At the 911 memorial site...very sobering

The new "Freedom Tower"

Exhausted in the elevator

Sex and the City staircase

Friends

My dad and his girls

At Columbia

Yummy food at Sarabeth's

Amber's stairwell in Harlem

The ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty

Proof that we were on high alert that day. Their was a secret service man on our ferry, these guys everywhere on the islands, and helicopters were circling. It was terrifying and of course Renee and I were freaking out!

Anything Goes...loved it!

The subway

Yummy Bakery

Central Park

Shopping tour

Phantom...very eerie but amazing voices

FAO Schwartz...my dad is classic

We visited the church/temple on Sunday afternoon

It was a wonderful trip and I am sad that it is over. We laughed, shopped, cried, and made memories to last a lifetime. It was so fun to spend time with all these ladies and of course my daddy! Thanks to my hubby, MIL, neighbors, and SIL who all helped with my kids so I could relax knowing they were in good hands! A special thank you to these 2 amazing people who made this trip possible. I love you!

Til next time :)
