Happy Halloween

Posted by Niki Murray on October 31, 2009

Happy Halloween everyone!  This is Ashley’s first Halloween!  It was unusually hot today, so we decided to go for our first walk as a family.  I pushed Ashley in her stroller and Van walked the boys.  The boys wore their Halloween bandanas and Ashley was in an orange onesie.  I always thought it would be fun for me to walk Ashley and the dogs together, but I found out today there is no way I can do that by myself.  If Van isn’t here to walk the dogs with me, I’ll just have to take Ashley.  It would be way too much to try and handle them all by myself.  She did good on her walk.  I, however, was anxious and cautious.  Van said I looked like a fish out of water.  Apparently, I was walking too slow and looked up tight.  First time mom, pushing a stroller for the first time, of course I was nervous! 

Here are pictures from Ashley’s first Halloween…

    She is sooooo cute. I am enjoying the pictures so much. And of Toby and Blake also. By the way, do you have a cat too? Enjoy every minute of it.

    LOL, Pat and Ritt

  • About Me


    My name is Niki. I’m a coffee drinking, baby food making, blogging mama to baby girl Ashley, 2 labs, and a cat. I absolutely LOVE being a Mom! I enjoy taking pictures of Ashley and making homemade baby food for her.

    I like doing anything outside whether it's going to the beach, strolling around the neighborhood, or just going to a park. I enjoy blogging and reading other Mommy blogs. I’m up for learning new things and have recently become interested in photography. I like a clean house, beds made, and checking off my to-do lists.

  • The Hubby


    I am married to Van, my best friend. We met in high school and have been together ever since! We practically grew up together. I feel very lucky to have found the man of my dreams so early in life. We married in 2004 and had a little girl in 2009. I can't imagine life without him. He keeps me grounded. He’s very practical, methodical, and technical. He’s a computer genius.

    We like going on vacations and would love to go back to Europe one day. Van is a regular “guy’s guy” and enjoys fishing, flying and riding his motorcycle. But he is also a family man. I love him!

  • Lil’ Pumpkin


    Ashley is our little bundle of joy. She was born in October 2009. Since she was a fall baby, we called her Lil’ Pumpkin while she was in the womb. Van now calls her Pumpkin Pie. I never could have imagined how much I would enjoy being a mother to this sweet little girl. I am just overwhelmed with love for her!

    Ashley likes eating homemade baby food, bouncing in her exersaucer, and watching the dogs play. She is entertained by my goofiness and she loves to sing and dance with me. I've never met a baby as happy as she is. She is a reminder of what life is all about. She makes us smile and laugh every single day!

  • The Boys


    Toby is our 8 year old black lab and Blake is our 3 year old chocolate lab. They are uncle and nephew. They have their own couch and some may consider them a bit spoiled. I enjoy making Frosty Paws (doggie ice cream) and baking homemade treats for them. Although I have to admit, I haven’t done much of that since Ashley was born. We celebrate their birthdays with doggie cake.

    Toby is obsessed with tennis balls and Blake loves his red ball. They are the best of friends. And they both LOVE swimming. Especially in my parents’ pool at the beach!

  • Jim Jim


    Jimmy is our 4 year old tabby cat. Van rescued him from the jaws of a pit bull when he was a mere 8 weeks old. I don't think Jimmy has forgotten that seeing as he is very attached to Van.

    Jimmy is an indoor/outdoor cat who loves to roam the neighborhood and hunt. He likes to bring us "gifts", anything from birds and rabbits to field mice. He is a sweet cat, but I wouldn’t cross him if I were you. You don’t want to see that crazed look in his eyes!
