Boys of Fall

Sam and Thomas played their first season of flag football this fall. They both really enjoyed it and it was fun for us to watch. Here are some shots...

The Perfect Day

Every once in a while, one of those perfect days just happens. For us it was mid-October on a beautiful day. I don't know how it happened but we had a free day (no crazy schedule) and Brian decided to cook out. He headed to the store and came back with yummy cheese and wine to start it all off. My parents stopped by with some fudge from a craft fair in Richmond and I persuaded them to come in and try the cheese and wine. They ended up staying for dinner, kids got in the pool, played football with Grandpa and corn hole with Grandma and I got some hot tub time in too. The dinner was delicious (beef kabobs, asparagus, corn) and the company and pace was wonderful. Truly it was a perfect day =) - Did I mention that I didn't have to cook a thing? =)

Beautiful Morning!!

The boys have been wanting to ride their bikes to school and today was the first day we tried it. It's a little over two miles and it was fun for them and good exercise for me (yes, that is how sad my exercise routine is - although I was pulling Amber in the trailer). The weather was perfect, cool and crisp. Amber and I decided to follow the ride up with a picnic breakfast at the park and some princess coloring. Best morning ever!

Toothless Wonder

Thomas lost his first tooth!! Check it out...

You can see the permanent tooth pushed that baby tooth out. He was really excited about losing a tooth. First visit from the tooth fairy - finally his turn!

Love Bugs

Thomas is just sweetness. Wednesday night after Amber went to bed, he made a little gift of jelly beans and a "love card" as he called it, for her. He left it on the floor outside her room with one of her My Little Ponies next to it so she would see it when she came out. When she saw it, she oooh'd and awww'd like little girls do and said "Thomas is my best friend!!". Too sweet!

Lucky - loved - girl

Feast or Famine....Denmark and Croup

Ok, I was doing well there for while with the posts and then things got a little crazy =) Schedules became busier, Brian went to Denmark and people got sick. Brian is back, people are healthy and I have a minute so here is the latest...

Michael kicked his first sucessful field goal!! Under the coaching of Grandpa, he refined his technique and kicked a beauty. Check out the yellow circles for the ball, the kicker and Michael's favorite part, the coach celebrating!

He looks so grown up here. #42 =)

Just for Fun

We saw these chairs at Sam's - they are huge! I'm not sure why anyone would ever buy one but they are pretty funny. The arm rest's have 3 drink holders each. =)
