Call me crazy, call me nostalgic. But once October comes, I can't help but get excited. Three Holidays back to back, four if I count my birthday. But wait.... I'm not having anymore birthdays. I, in my mind will be immortally 34 forever. Yes, immortal, maybe I am reading to much into those damn Twilight books that have consumed me for the past 6 days. I liked being 34, it was a good age and year for me. It's a good age to mentally stay at. And with that said, I will.

Halloween is the first of these holidays that I love. I only wish that it would be a little cooler, but what can I expect when you live in the "Valley of The Sun". Yes, there is the whole finding costumes, yes the kids eat too much candy, but that is the whole fun of it. This year Nachito decided to be "Iron Man". It was another one of those mother/son bonding moments. I had not really wanted to see Iron Man, but since Buddy does not like to go to the movies, Nachito begged and pleaded with me to take him. What was I going to say? No? Not an option. We left the movies like two eight year old boys, amazed at how great this movie was. Remembering all the excitement and about when Iron Man does this and that. It was great. When we went to the Spirit store, the super hero section is where he ran. Iron Man it was, "Remember mom, it's your favorite movie". How could I break his heart and tell him that I had moved on, that Iron Man had been replaced by about five other movies by now. I didn't and as we paid for his costume he looked up and smiled at me, my very own little Iron Man.

Kassie this year chose to be a fairy, a glittery fairy. Her and McKenna wanted to match. Nana Norma, like always, made her and Mckenna the cutest fairy costumes. It was obvious that she is growing up. She had her friends with her. They walked either a block ahead, a block behind, or completely on the other side. This was it, she was growing up, and there was no stopping it. No longer wanting to be seen with us, she was a big girl now. It was a fun night, lots of laughs, and again, great memories.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start.

Flashback Friday

Joining in with Alicia again. Head on over to her blog to participate. You can get there by clicking here . As promised, I will countdown Kai's birthdays parties every Friday from now on until we reach her 13th Birthday. Come join in Disney fun as Kassandra Paulyna turns one! Saturday, September 6, 1997 From day one, Kai was always smiling. Her cake was made by my sister Ana. Her piñata was bigger than she was. Two pages from her scrapbook, which I haven't kept up with, hence the blog. Kai's first birthday was bitter sweet. I had been planning it for about four months. At the time I was a stay at home mommy and I had nothing better to do. It was bitter sweet, because my dad had passed away two weeks prior to her party. We really considered moving the date or cancelling the party all together, but my mom said that my dad would not want that. So we went ahead with the party. At the time, we lived in Douglas, and parties in Douglas tend to be pretty big. We rented a dan...
