Talk to my agent

venturing into the city.
Doesn't it look like she's really talking to her agent?!









This Saturday the kids had an interview with a talent agency. Long ago I uploaded the kids pictures to a couple of sites and I guess they just decided they needed to see these two. I wasn't sure what to expect but ya all know I'm on a mission to enjoy the journey so I thought this would be another thing on our list of experiences! They of course thought the kids we adorable. Bella had them eating from her palm and they couldn't get enough of her! The concept of this networking company was fabulous, the price to be in their network however was not so we won't be getting into the biz anytime soon but I'm going to keep trying! We'll see how it goes!

Fall in New Jersey












Fall is my favorite time of year! I love the weather and the leaves! The East coast has the most colorful falls ever! I love it so much! The kids also love it! Here are some of our pictures playing in the leaves! I can't help but comment on how cute my own kids are!! They are just so cute!

The best of me

So last night I had a dream. It's weird because I never dream or at least I never remember them, and even if I do remember it it's never complete and never makes much sense. Last nights dream was no exception. All I remember is my Dad talking to someone that I know about me and the kids. He said those two are the best of her. So if you love her you will love them. That really got me thinking. Anyone that knows me well knows that Eugene (my Dad, yes I call him Eugene) holds all the answers. When I need advice he gets the first call. So it seems rather fitting to have him in my dream telling me what I already know but making it a little clearer. Xavier and Bella truly are the best of me. Any of the qualities that I have and like about myself they have ten fold. Anything in me that needs improving they have already mastered. I don't know if it is like this for all parents and I don't know if you feel this way forever but I do know that they really are the best of me and I love them for showing me what I can be each and everyday!

Halloween



























Xavier and his teacher Ms. Powers















These are twin girls in our ward Abbi and Bailey. They were lobsters in a bucket! they were so stinkin cute. Then during trunk or treat they were laying on these huge platters with grapes and fruit around them and candle light! It looked like they were the main course! Sooo cute!




Holy Halloween! We have been celebrating for the past week and it has been a blast! I am not a huge fan of Halloween but I don't not like it either. This year has been fun because the kids were so into it. We went to 3 different parties and each night Xavier would out line them in his prayers. It was awesome! We went to the ward party, a party put on by the town and finally Xavier's school party. So Xavier was Peter Pan, Bella was Tinkerbell and I was Wendy. I may never dress up again because no one knew who I was! I thought I looked just like Wendy but everyone was having such a hard time figuring it out! Hello I'm with Peter pan and Tinkerbell! Come on! Anyway....... this was our first family attempt at jack-o-lanterns. I carved them all with no help on the gut scooping! Xavier took one look inside and said "I'm going up stairs to play" I don't know where he gets this clean hands business but it has to stop! We'll try again next year! We got way too much candy but had tons of fun so it makes it all worth while!!
