CAKE ANYONE?

My sweet little sister who happens to be my kiddos "FAVORITE" Aunt (Hmm, I wonder why?) brought over a cute little cake for my kids today. My kids thought this was just the best! A cake just for them, at least that is what they think. Once Deb told me it was a chocolate cake and it had a chocolate mousse filling I knew both Kev and I would be partaking of this little vampire.

RANDOM PICTURES OF THE PAST!

I was so excited today when I found a box of pictures out in one of my storage bins in the garage. I don't know how these pictures got misplaced but, I have wondered for quite some time where they went and sadly thought they got lost in a move and thrown out. I had so much fun going through them and remembering how much I enjoyed my kiddos younger years. I thought I would post some of them and since some of them were Halloween pictures I thought it appropriate. These were taken in 2002 so that makes Keaton 3 years and Bailey Rose was about 18 months.

WHO LOOKS LIKE WHO?

My kids are always asking me what Kevan and I looked liked when we were little like them. I think they don't really believe that we were ever little kids. So I decided that I would scan some pictures of when Kevan and I were young and put them side by side so they could actually see what we looked like at their age. The end result was fun , except for when my little Bailey Rose says, "Wow mommy, you really were young before you got old!" The kids didn't even recognize Kevan and I have to admit he is one who has changed a lot since he was little. It also made me realize that Bailey Rose isn't really a mini Diana as everyone thinks. She looks more like Kevan. However, I think they are a really good mix of both Smith & Roth.

THE HALLOWEEN CAT

Tonight I decorated for Halloween which made for an evening of excited kids and lots of noise. I should do this when they are at school since I know it would make it go lots faster but, they always have fun helping me decorate, so I let them share in what they think is a thrill. Anyways, tonight as I was picking up the house after the kiddos went to bed I noticed that Bailey Rose had put her own touches on the Halloween cat. I love seeing little reminders like this around the house. Remnants of where they have been and what they have been doing. If you know Bailey Rose at all then you know that this little find has her name written all over it.
