CUTE baby bear!

Could they be any cuter =) That is the bear, raggidy Anne, the bee, the cat and the power ranger! I don't think soooooooooo =)

The little bear ... OH MY HEART ... something about babies, oh and that particular baby boy ... cuteness all around I think =) Lets just say this mamma feels COMPLETELY BLESSED to have the sacred honor of being the baby bear's forever mamma (and the other four too that is)!

Okay and the picture of Sam and me ... a bit embarrasing and I meant to put it first so it would appear last but forgot to =) NOW though I think it has become a tradition - inspired by our dear friends Phil & Amanda - mommy & dadddy are going to dress up too for Halloween! The kids enjoy it SO MUCH ... it makes it all worth it! FUN!

The funny thing too about the costumes is that none of our kids even know what Power Rangers are as we don't watch TV (we watch plenty of movies/dvd's) ... but I had bought it at the end of last year for a very small amount! All of the other costumes, besides Bella's, are from garage sales! I am very thankful for garage sales =)

We have truly some of the sweetest neighbors! We are one out of two families on our entire street of twenty houses or so that have kids ... most of them have grown kids! That is except for one almost retired couple that never had kids! They have been so kind, bringing us vegetables in the summer time from their garden, pumpkins in the fall ... and just now when we went trick or treating - they had gone and pre-packaged bigger bags of candies just for our kids! How totally KIND and thoughtful! Also when they do see our kids, their entire faces light up - what a BLESSING!
