Through the years...

As I started writing this post for Halloween, I begin to reminisce with the kids on all our Halloween adventures. I was quickly reminded how many great (and funny) memories we've had on this special night. So today, enjoy our post as we highlight our Halloween's through the years.

Spooky Treats

This year for Halloween, Jakson's class held a Goulish Luncheon. The challenge was given to 
the kids {but really to the parents} to create a festive snack to share with the class. And what a spread it was...

The kids had so much fun digging into spooky foods like, Eyeball Spaghetti, Mummy Wraps, 

Monster Apples, Spider Sandwiches, Witches Hats, Frankenstein Pudding and Spider Nuggets! 

Bon Appetit and Happy Halloween!

These Hands

These hands so small, but strong and mighty. Their wrinkles tell a story, a story 96 years old. They've seen the trenches of the cotton fields, raised four children, spent endless hours sewing and crafting, perfected the art of tortilla making, wiped away many tears, snuggled 12 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren, and have prayed thousands of prayers. 

These hands. These precious hands that were chained to Alzheimer's for the past 12 years, are finally free. So today, as my Nana enters into the throne room of heaven, I am left with her legacy; one of triumph, strength, and beauty.  These hands will be missed. You, Nana, will forever be missed. 

"I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7

A Birthday Wish

Being a daddy seems tough. You work long chaotic hours then come home to chaos to play and work some more.

The pressure of bringing home the bacon can be rough some days (and some days we can actually eat the bacon).

You wear lots of hats; a friend, a taxi driver, a repair man, and a superhero. You survive on little sleep and lots of Mountain Dew. But the most amazing thing is how easy you make it all look. So on this birthday our wish for you is that you let loose, relax, and feel the love from three of your biggest fans!

So happy birthday to my partner in crime, my left arm, my best friend, and the one who laughs and cries with me through our lifetime of I Guess Im Due moments!
