A super hero Halloween

 Our neighborhood is a great place for trick or

treating!! Every year friends and family

meet up at our house so we can all go together.

This year our theme was superheros!! I think

my very favorite so far!!

 I just love love this pic of Cruz!! 

He wasn't a fan of wearing his mask so this is

probably the best pic I got of him.

 Trevor and his best friend Maggie!

 Tryston and Trevor with baby Beckham!!

 The beautiful Bat Girls!!

 I know!! ADORABLE!!!!

The Hulk and Captain America were too cute.

They made out with a ton of candy!!

 My little superheros!!

 Trick or Treat!!

 This was the "spooky" house!! Definitely the 

kiddos favorite. They like to be scared! haha

After a great night of trick or treating

with friends and family, it was time

to take the loot home and see what we

collected! Of course I would never "check"

the candy and take a couple of my favorites....

Any good ideas for next year theme?

Pumpkin Patch 2011

 One of my favorite family traditions is going

to Right Choices Corn Maze every year. It's 

by far the best one I've ever found! So much

for the kids to do and only an hour away!!

 This was the first year to do the corn maze

together. Cruz was too little the last couple

years. The boys loved trying to find their 

way out of the maze!! Took us a minute,

but we made it out alive!!

 Couldn't resist taking some pics along the way

 My spunky little Cruz

 My handsome little Trevor

Going down the slide!! I had one of Cruz going

down but I think I posted so many pics blogger

went a little nutso?!

 Trev in the corn box. Probably the boys favorite

thing to do there. We spend a good portion of 

our time playing here.

 Thought this was cute of Cruz!!

 The boys and I on the hayride. My favorite

thing to do here. It's not really long but its

very relaxing!!

 The cow train!! Choo Choo, Moo Moo

 Racing ducks

 Pics a little out of order..oops

I tried to bury Cruz in the corn box but

he wasn't a fan!! lol

 Ok, here is Cruz making his way down slide!

His first year to go all by himself! Growing up 

too fast!!

 Pumping their own water is pretty hard work

 I think we need this at home! They would go to

bed on time for sure!! Working up a sweat!!

 Loving the corn box!!

 Eating his roasted marshmallow!!

 This was the first year we got to roast

 marshmallows! Daddy helped the boys and they 

loved it. We had to pretty much drag them away

 from the marshmallows.. I know what we will 

be doing when we get home!!

 Cruz picked out his pumpkin! Finally.

I think he changed his mind 10 times or more!!

Too many choices....

 We wound up with more than pumpkins in our

wheel barrow.....

Right Choices Corn Maze 2011 was once again

an absolute blast!! Made more great memories!!

Can't wait for next year!

Cruz is 2!!!!!

 Birthday boy!!

 He loved his birthday ballons!! Of course

he used them as a punching bag! lol

 Since his party was a couple weeks away, 

we just invited family over for a little

celebration. Here is mimi with some of the

kiddos.

 Cruz loved it when we sang happy birhtday

to him. Look at that sweet face!!

 And he eventually started singing along.

 I wonder what he wished for?

Now, this is my Cruz!!!

 

Cruz,

God has blessed me beyond words with you. 

You are such a spunky little guy and you bring

that trait into our family. We laugh until we cry

everyday at all the funny things you do and say.

You love to dance and sing. Play a little music

and your one happy little boy. You are already 

a great little athlete. You have a ton of agility

and keep up with the big kids.  You even come

to bubba's Sunday school class with us so you

can play with the big kids. You don't do well in the

nursery. You seriously have your own little

language and I love it. Everything you say

is adorable. Hard to understand, but adorable. :)

Your not really a big cuddle bear so I have to

get all my cuddles in at night time. Your just too

busy to settle down. Your always 

on a mission. You keep me on my toes. I can't turn

my back for a second because there is no telling what

on earth you might pull. God is teaching me so much

through you!!! Your a wild man, definitely "all

  boy"but you have such a big heart. You are very 

compassionate which makes me very happy.

 It's sweet to watch you care for others at only 2 years old.

 I love you and your adventurous little spirit. I can't

 wait to see all the things God does in your life!!
