My oldest baby turns 5 today!!!!!!

 So I wanted to write a sort of different blog today in honor of my oldest sons birthday.  He turns 5 today and I'm not really sure where this time has gone.  I look at him and I am proud that he has grown up to be such a smart and handsome little boy.

 He has shown me that you can love another person unconditionally and has shown me what challenges are and how to become stronger from them.  He pushes me everyday to be the best mom I can be for him and his brother.

 He has such a big personality and is not afraid to be silly.  He makes me laugh when he know i'm not having a good day.  He is always doing silly little dances or making silly animal sounds to make others laugh.  He is a big comedian and I have always said that.

 Jordon is a very curious little boy.  He is eager to learn and loves animals.  He loves the ocean and is always looking for more information when it comes to the ocean.  He loves it more than anything, I think.

 I am so lucky to be his mom.  I can only hope that he will grow up to be a well rounded man and always keep the things I teach him in his heart.  He has made me so happy over that past five years and I don't know what I would do without him.

Jordon, Mommy loves you more than you will ever know buddy!!!  Happy 5th Birthday lil' man!!!!!!!

Favorite Things in Fall

Fall is obviously the Best season of all.  The weather is beautiful, the leaves all turn immaculate colors, the clothes are gorgeous, I mean I could go on for days.

One of the best things about fall are bonfires.  I love a good bonfire.  Roasting marsh mellows, making s'mores, listening to music, having a good time with friends, I mean you couldn't ask for anything better.

Pumpkin patches are super fun.  If you have little ones, they are sure to enjoy pumpkin patches.  Even if you don't have children, anyone can enjoy a pumpkin patch.  Pumpkin picking is another great thing to do in fall.  Going with you kids, or a group of friends and picking out pumpkins and then bringing them home to carve into jack o lanterns is sure to be a great time for anyone.  Going apple picking is another activity I enjoy in the fall, or going to local farms and picking berries in general.  Going on hikes, breathing in fresh, cool, crisp Autumn air is amazing.

Halloween is also another favorite of mine.  I love Halloween.  Everything about it is amazing.  I Love the month of October basically. Haunted houses, scary movie marathons, dressing up and taking the kids out to trick or treat and best of all, My oldest sons birthday!

Thanksgiving is another favorite holiday of mine during fall!  Enough said about that!!!!!!!! :)

Staying in and having a cozy movie night with the family is one of my all time favorite things to do in fall.  I so enjoy cuddling on the couch with my husband and kids and watching movies.  Hocus Pocus is an ALL time favorite of mine.  I love this time of year so much especially when those marathons of all the Halloween movies comes on.  I am a huge fan of horror movies, but I'm alone on that one in our house.

The fashion in fall is beautiful and so comfy.  I love to wear big cozy sweaters and leggings and boots.  Leg warmers, scarves, dark colors, flannel shirts, hoodies, motorcycle boots, and layering clothes are just amazing.  I love love love this time of year oh so much!!!

What are your favorite things about fall?
