Over the last few weeks I have heard a lot of great news from people I love, there will be three new beautiful bundles of joy that will grace us with their presence in a few short months!!! I couldn’t be happier! I know these babies are coming into this world to amazing parents and I look forward to watching them grow into the wonderful people I know they will become!
I remember how excited I was, yet still terrified that I had no idea what the hell I was doing or how I was going to raise my children to be the kind of person any mother could be proud of. If we are being honest, I still feel like I have no idea what I am doing sometimes but then I look at my boys and I feel like I must be doing something right. I know all three of these women are going to do an amazing job at raising their little ones and they will be the kind of mother that a child is proud to call “mom”. So if any of you ladies are reading this, take a deep breath and just know that you are going to be okay and that baby will love you more than anything!
And if you want to get maternity or newborn photos done, Kelly is amazing!
I am sitting here feeling a little bit of cabin fever due to the cold weather. I am seriously over the weather here and ready for it to be warm again! Since I have been feeling a little bit down I decided to make something to lift my spirits and thought that I might as well share so I hope you enjoy!
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy and safe Halloween!!! It was Lincoln’s first Halloween and we dressed him up as a dragon (this was Jr’s costume from last year) and Jason Jr went trick-or-treating as HULK! Halloween is my favourite holiday and we had a lot of fun doing things with the kids this year. I am REALLY looking forward to taking both of the boys out trick-or-treating next year because by then Lincoln will be able to actually join in on the fun.

We carved some pumpkins earlier this week and Junior had fun playing with all of the pumpkin guts, maybe next year he can pick a design to put on the pumpkin. This was something that was fun for the whole family. My sister came with her boyfriend, my mom came with her long time friend and this was Jason’s first time carving a pumpkin EVER!!! I couldn’t even tell you the last time that I carved a pumpkin, I seriously don’t remember (which is noticeable in our final product haha)
too much candy…or beer maybe?
Pumpkins
Some people looked at me a little bit weird this year when I was out with HULK. Do you think he is too young to take out? I figure that if I choose to let my boy have some chocolate and candy then that is my prerogative and other parents shouldn’t judge. I saw a couple tonight who took their baby (probably a couple of months older than Lincoln) out trick-or-treating and I thought it was cute!! We all know that the candy is for them and not the baby, but why should anyone try to take away a new parents joy from celebrating a first holiday with their child??
Anyway, I hope everyone had a great Halloween with friends and family!
p.s. I will remember to NOT give either of my boys candy before bed…and this pic will be my reminder…
