Halloween through the years!!

This was taken today... Alexis got to wear her costume to Preschool today! She was super excited.. I was worried that she'd bend her wings.. but she took great care of it :) She decided she wanted to be a Lady Bug this year! Her costume is from Old Navy this year as well!

My little Lady Bug eating breakfast before school this morning :)

She is getting so stinkin big.. :( makes me sad.... But

she is a beautiful Lady Bug!!

Last year Alexis was a Butterfly :) I got her costume at Old Navy!

In 2008 Alexis was a cute little Kitty Cat! She was so so stinkin cute with that little tail on the back :) I got this costume from Old Navy.

Alexis is 1 year old here... How time flies by.. She was Snow White this year but wore her coat over it most the time because it wasn't the warmest costume ever... She was a very cute Snow White :)

Lexi's first pumpkin! Jonathon carved her name in it.. She is just so little... I miss those days sometimes :(

"Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys, or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life SO much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom."
