Family Turkey Project

Halloween

AJ was on the S.W.A.T team, Ronde was a zombie, and Jamal was a skeleton. It was Jamal's first time trick or treating and he was the cutest little skeleton I've ever seen. Andre came home from deployment just in time to go trick or treating with us. We walked around our new neighborhood and it was very nice and the kids got a good amount of candy. Of course, it's all gone now..ha

A.J.'s 6th Birthday

Today is A.J.'s 6th Birthday! Usually I'm very excited about birthdays, but for some reason, this birthday made me a little sad. My oldest son is growing up too fast. Ronde, Jamal, and I went shopping, picked out a cake, balloon, presents, and pizza and had it all ready for AJ for when he walked in the door after school.

 He was very happy when he walked through the door! We ate some pizza, opened presents, and wished AJ a Happy Birthday. I also brought frosted sugar cookies with sprinkles to AJ's class so that he could celebrate with his friends. He classmates all colored a birthday cake piece of paper and the teacher stapled them altogether to make a book. It was the cutest idea and makes a great keepsake. We plan on taking AJ to Chuck E. Cheese and Toys R Us to use the gift card my mom sent him and also let him pick out a skate board from Andre and I.
