Halloween Costumes

We let Phoebe choose her costume this year and she picked out Curious George.


We saw the Spongebob one for dogs and had to get it for Jack...


Let's hope she'll actually enjoy this Halloween! Last year before we went trick or treating, a kid came to our door and he was wearing a scary mask, needless to say, it freaked her out and she didn't want to go anywhere! So we hung out at home. The year before last, we drove over to Nanny's to go trick or treating with them but we missed it (I can't remember why, I just know that the boys had already gone or something). So let's hope it works out this year!

9/11/09 - We finally got the SpongeBob costume on Jack, he kept biting at it though so I don't think he'll wear it for Halloween, but at least we got a picture out of it, lol!


Phoebe tried on her Curious George costume:


She also tried on her costume from 2007 and it still fit. Here is a picture we took in 2007 and one we took last week. Gosh she's grown!



And here's what she wore last year (Little Mermaid)


And in 2006:

Phoebe & Jackson Playing 8/7/09

She's singing (or trying to sing) Rock a bye baby to Jack. Can you see that we made the right decision here? Lol! This is too cute, be prepared to laugh =)

Welcome home, Jackson 8/2/09

After the "sissy doesn't love me" episode... we agreed it was time to get her a dog. Especially since we aren't having anymore children, she could use the companion.

We found a breeder in Spring, TX, we looked at their site and instantly agreed that we'd love to have Jack. They called us back and we were able to pick him up that day, Sunday, 8/2/09. They named him Jack and we thought we'd keep that name, then I called him Jackson while playing and it really fit. So we're calling him Jack for short, and Jackson when he's in trouble. :)

Phoebe broke my heart tonight

Phoebe was laying next to me and she looked like she was in a daze, thinking about something. I said "baby, what are you thinking about?" She said "Sissy doesn't love me"... I said "what do you mean, of course she loves you"... She then said "sissy won't come home to see me" and she began to cry. Oh man, that broke my heart into a million pieces. I then told her that sissy is in heaven with Jesus and she began to cry more. I thought she was too young to understand. Guess I was wrong. So so sad... She's asleep now. I'm not sure what triggered those thoughts but now it has me wondering how long she's been thinking about her Sissy.
