Make a wish

So this year Arieana and Braedyn did the wish bone, and like always there can only be one winner...To Arieana's disappointment she lost again this year, but boy oh boy was Braedyn excited he won. Even though he had no idea what he won..

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope all my friends and family had a wonderful day, I am truly thankful for each and every one of you. I am especially thankful for my health, and my family's health. In life we often forget what is truly important, and place value on material things. My best friend Crystal who passed away from Cancer almost four years ago taught me that being alive is the best blessing we can have, and that life is what we make of it..I love you all, and wish you all the best in life.

Miss Thing

As many of you knew Arieana came back from Illinois with a new hairdo, her Aunt Ce-Ce spent two days putting in beautiful braids and beads. I don't have the pictures of the dew with the beads yet, but i did get this one before we started taking the braids out.. She looked very cute, so move over Alicia Keys..

Kiddos

YEAH

As most of you know I have been very busy looking for a job, and have been totally stressing out over it. I am happy to say that I just got hired by my former employer Willamette Education Services District, as the New Transition Specialist. I will be working at Hillcrest which is a maximum security youth prison, and Oregon State Hospital. I am very excited about the job, and know it will be very interesting. Thank you to everyone who was thinking happy thoughts for me..

Safe and Sound

Most everyone knew that Aaron, Arieana and Braedyn took a trip to Illinois to see some family, and have since made it home safely..Braedyn had a bit of a hard time being away from mom, but Arieana loved getting out of school for a week!! Aaron was able to pull off his surprise, by showing up unannounced at his mother's house and totally surprising her!! I am glad to have them back home, and will be posting some pictures of the trip soon....

Happy Halloween

The kiddos had a great Halloween, and got a ton of candy. Braedyn was the cutest Spider Man ever, and Arieana was a Spider Countess(Not sure what that is).. Sadly Darian stuck to his word and did not go trick-or-treating, I guess 13 is to cool to go.. But he was quick to eat some of the goodies his little bro and sis brought home :)

Braedyn did really good this year, and didn't go into any one's home. Arieana figured out that the more houses you hit the more candy you get. It's always so much fun to get them dressed up, and ready for the night. I can't wait for next year..

LETS CARVE

The pumpkin carving was a lot of fun, Braedyn loved getting the squishy stuff out with his fingers. Arieana tried to carve some of her pumpkin, but eventually turned to the skillful hands of dad..
