Yesterday Seth, Arailia and I went shopping to get some ideas on Christmas presents! We went to alot of stores and rae could say all the store names! When we got to Kmart we said say kmart and she said, "K Walmart!" Ok so it doesnt sound to funny written down but I guess you had to be there! It was fun shopping and being together as a family even if we didnt go somewhere and spend money! Now Im not so stressed about what we are doing for gifts this year yay!

My Brother-in-law the MARINE!

Sam has just completed boot camp! We wanted to support him and so we headed up to the airport to greet him when he came off the plane! My parents and Jake came along,Jen and Ryan, Linda, Erick, Courtney, and Brooke! We all made signs and were so excited to finally see him! We then headed over to Linda's house and had dinner! The food was really good! It was fun hearing the stories that Sam shared but at the same time so sad to hear what he had to go through! We are so proud of him and for him willing to serve our country! We love you Sam!!!!!!!!!

Decorating for Christmas!

So as most of you know if you know me... I hate Halowwen decorations for the most part! So what do I do..... I put up my christmas tree! Like the third week in October I decided to throw up my tree! Of course It makes you laugh seeing it up but it makes me so happy! I love listening to Christmas music and started really listening to it in October! The other night I decided instead of putting up ornimants up right now that Rae could decorate the tree with candy canes! She had fun putting them on! I have wrapped some presents and rae really like snowmen so I thought that I would wrap in snowmen paper just for her! She loves it and will lay by the tree and look at the lights and say "hott pretty lights"! Im excited to do alot of fun crafts with her this winter and help us decorate the house!

Nite Nite!

So when Rae goes to sleep I check on her and its funny to see how she puts herself to bed! One night I went in there to find her wearing sunglasses!
When I was growing up us kids would always wear my dad's shirts to bed! One night I saw one of Seth's shirts and thought it would be fun to put Rae in it for bed! she loved it! She said "daddy's shirt" all night! she said,"mommy I love it" She looked so cute and ever since that night she will ask me" Daddy's shirt please"! Just a little memory I had growing up and thought that it would be fun for Rae to wear them every once in a while too!

Uncle Geek!

Arailia calls my brother Geek aka Jake! Its so cute!Rae loves her uncle Geek! Jake has a iphone and he had put all of Rae's favorite songs on it for her! He would find videos like Elmo's World for her to watch! she loves it because its her favorite things and the fact its Jake's and he lets her hold it! Jake your the best we love you!

Boo at the Zoo and Halloween!

This year we went to Boo at the Zoo at Willow Park! We dressed Rae up in her costume and had so much fun! Arailia did an awesome job tossing the beab bags in the pumpkin and she had a blast going on the gymnastic pad over and over again! we saw all the animals and got candy!

On Halloween Arailia was the cutest little lady bug! We got her dressed and headed over to my parents! We waited till some trick or treaters came to the door and the headed out to get some candy! Rae loved knocking on the door and saing trick or treat! I was so proud of her saying it and saying thank you at the end! Of course the candy never ended up in her bag sge alwas wanted to eat them so I decided I wouldhold them for her! We went to a couple houses and Rae was so excited that she was running! Of course runnung ended up in falling so we had a cring ladybug so we decided to end the trick or treating! We were going to go to trunck or treat with Seth's parents but decided not to this year! We went back to my parents and Arailia answered the door everytime someone came! She would put the candy in the kids bag and then say halloween! (she didnt say the happy part) It was alot of fun and love seeing rae having a blast!
