The Moo Was a M00!!

So this is a VERY late Halloween post since Thanksgiving has come and gone...(I'll catch up soon enough I guess) but of course mine and Nate's little Mr. Moo had to be a moo for Halloween. We spent the evening at Grandpa and Grandma Rhodes with our traditional Halloween dinner and fun! We got Carter's cute costume from costco....and YES, I know he looks like a baby girl. They were out of the boy ones and since he didn't care what he was, I had to dress him as a moo cow whether it looked a little more girly or not! Enjoy! And don't judge.... ;)

Carter looks lots like his daddy here I think :)

Oh I could munch my little moo cow!!!

Little Chubs

Cousin Maddox was a cute little monkey!

Then the moo got tired and decided to sleep-this picture features me holding his cute little tail

Chili and Breadsticks-the classic feast!

AND...Not to be left out- my sister Dani wearing this sickening mask my mom got for my other sister Rochelle's costume. Yuck. 

Avery LATE Happy Halloween!

A Shout Out to My Fam

Isn't family the greatest? Carter never sleeps (in fact he's screaming from his crib as I speak), Nate leaves cupboards and drawers open like it's going out of style, I leave my clothes strewn out right and left, we all get on each others nerves, throughout the week dishes pile up, laundry is a JOKE, no one can ever find enough food in the pantry and somehow....somehow we have to always go to the store AGAIN. Work is exhausting for nate and myself, so quality time is not easily found. Each week brings some new disaster. And still in the back of my mind I hear a little voice, (maybe my mom's) telling me this is just the very beginning :)  But where would I be without all of this chaos?? LONELY. Each weekend we get our lives back in order, sometimes Carter takes a good nap and we all catch some shut eye, Nate is sooo thoughtful and always does sweet things to make me smile, and I like to think I'm a decent wife and mother to my boys. And at the end of the day even though I know I'll get no sleep and things will be crazy- I am anxious to come home! That's a little backwards....but truth be told, my family is the BEST. We make each other laugh hysterically, and we are all very good at cuddling. We are affectionate, I love holding my husbands hand, we like to surprise one another, and we are, like most families in the beginning- just trying to make it from one day to the next. The other day we went and took some pictures together as a little family that reminded me of how good the view is from where I sit. Here's to the good life folks!!
