Halloween Bash

Last night we had a BLAST at cousin Brayden's Halloween Bash! Yomaida did such a great job decorating the place and setting up a cute pumpkin patch for pictures! Tristan was the youngest kid there but he still throughly enjoyed himself! He was beyond excited to just be apart of it all. He wanted to be in the mix so bad! A few times I got a little nervous with all the big kids playing and scooped him up quick but he wasn't having it. He wanted back down on the floor so he could get back to playing! There were great snacks to enjoy, great conversation with family and other mommies and even personalizing pumpkins! Now Tristan didn't really participate in the decorating of the pumpkin...It was nap time and he was getting hungry so we went upstairs for a little quiet time. He would have ended up eating all of the little felt stick on letters anyways so it was probably for the best! All of the kids were dressed sooo cute! There was a princess, a football player, a monkey, a dinosar, Tristan was a little devil - even The Hulk and Tinkerbell showed up! Overall it was a blast! We look forward to getting together with everyone soon! We are also looking forward to doing some light trick or treating at some close realitives houses! We will be sure to take some good pictures on Halloween night too!

Look at my little devil!

Hmm...these pumpkins look good! I think he was trying to bite them!

I love being a mommy! :)

I just wanted to take a minute and let you all know how much my family means to me. I have two of the best guys in the world to share my days with and I love them more than life itself. I just wanted to share with you some of the reasons why I love doing what I do! :)

Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Being A Mommy!

10. That AMAZING smile thats fills the room the minute I walk into it.
9. The fact that I get all the kisses and cuddles whenever I want!
8. How everyone oohs and ahhs at what a gorgeous (and healthy!) baby boy we have!
7. Getting to say that I am the sole provider of my little boys meals!
6. The AMAZING bonding that comes with being the sole provider my sugar pulm.
5. Getting to shop for the most adorable baby things!
4. Getting to participate in the fun mommy and me activities and play groups!
3. Dressing little man however I want! (cause I know it won't last long!)
2. Wondering about and planning Tristans future. (He's going to be a lawyer! ;-)
1. Just being with my little man. I love him more than anything in this life and I would do anything for him. Tristan alone is the real reason I love being a mommy.

Little man sits up!

So Tristan has ventured on to the next step! On Thursday I was at home with T and he (all my himself!) pushed himself up with his arms into the sitting position. It didn't last long and he quickly fell back to the ground on his stomach. He did that about four times and got tired of it! The next day Lloyd called me and told me he had mastered sitting! He once again had pushed himself up into the sitting position and I guessed figured out how to balance himself and stay that way. At first he would slide a little but quickly learned he could use his arm to prop himself and stay up! He's SUCH a smart little guy! By that night he was sitting for 30 minutes plus! Actually Priscilla and I watched a movie and he sat and played for about an hour! He can now sit for as long as he would like. He even rolls around and plays then sits up to play then it's back to rolling then sitting up again! I would just like to say that I am awfully proud of my Baba's and I can't believe how fast he learns things! I don't even know where this came from! He never showed any signs of sitting before! He just decided he was going to do it and did it! He is deffinately going to be crawling before the end of the month. He already gets on his hands and knees and moves around. He knows how to use his hands to pull himself but he just doesn't get the leg thing yet! Looks like the crawling will be before that first tooth!

Here's the big boy himself!

R.I.P. MICHAEL J. WILILAMS

I wanted to ask everyone to pray for Michael Williams’s family.

On October 3 Michael never woke up. He had had a good night with my little sister and gone to sleep in her room. They were unable to wake him the next morning. A young life was lost and it was unnecessary.

We lost an amazing friend and we will never get him back. It's not fair that his life was ended before it should have and it breaks my heart to even think about it.His family needs support and prayers more than ever now. His poor mother and father are heart broken - they lost their little boy. All you mommies out there know that you can't even fathom what it is like to loose your child. When I saw his mothers cries I wanted to go to sleep forever myself. .

PLEASE pray for them. If you knew Michael and can help in ANY way please don't hesitate.R.I.P. Michael Williams 11.22.88 - 10.03.08 we love you
