Happy Birthday.....

TO ME!!!!!!!!!! I am 29 today!

Not doing much today for my big day. I told B. that all I wanted for my birthday was to go see Alice in Wonderland and we did that on Sunday with Big J. (since his birthday is coming up on Saturday).

I don't need fancy gifts, I have this:

And this:
What more do I need?!?!?

Valentine's flowers

Brilliant B. got me some beautiful flowers for Valentine's Day and for finally being pregnant (and I'm just now getting around to uploading them on my computer!)!!

He's just the most wonderful, loving, caring husband in the world!! I think I'll keep him!

(here's a hint: click on each pic to see the detail of each pic in it's true size!)

(this last pic is of my absolute favorite flower...Sunflowers!)

We have a "big boy" on our hands now!

Little J. lost his first tooth Saturday night! And the tooth fairy gave him a whopping $5. I've never seen a child so happy over $5 in my LIFE!

My little man is growing up.....

My Halloween-y post

We had a fun Halloween weekend full of pumpkin carving, dressing up (for kids, of course), and getting TONS of candy.

This is the pumpkin we grew ourselves (on accident):

All the kids dressed up:
Diva D. dressed as a "bad cheerleader":
Big J. dressed as a whoopie cushion:
Little J. dressed as Hank from the G.I. Joe movie:
