Paige's 3rd birthday

Paige turned 3 today and we celebrated at My Gym. The kids had a wonderful time running and jumping. Paige even went down the zip line.

Sean's Birthday

Today is Sean's 5th birthday. Boy, times sure does fly. Seems like yesterday we were just bringing him home from the hospital. Today we celebrated with a monster truck party at Burger King with 26 of his closest family and friends. We sure did miss Uncle Jeff, Aunt Val, and Will. My house now runneth over with monster trucks!

Donut Eating King

Sean had a time trying to eat a donut at the harvest party with out using his hands!

Putt Putt

Another of our summer past times - Putt Putt. We all went (except Jim) to play Putt Putt. We had a good time and Chris kick everyone's tails. He got 5 hole in ones. I keep telling him that if he would practice golf and not bowling that I could be a stay at home Mom who's kids go to daycare/school. Ha Ha!

Catching sand crabs at the beach

We took the kids on a crab hunt at the beach. Sean said that was to coolest thing that he did all weekend. It was fun reliving our summer past time. As a child, we would go crab hunting every summer. I tried to convince Alex and Blake to take all of the crabs back to the beach house and put them in the bed with their Daddy. They quickly nixxed that idea. This crab is the biggest one that we caught.

Speed racers

Chris and Sean enjoyed some quality time together at the race track.

Pillow fight

What is that saying, "When the Moms are away, the boys will play"? As you can see, the boys got lots of playing last weekend on their boy trip to the mountains. I think that Pop spoiled all the kids by giving each of them a pocket full of money and all the McDonalds that they could eat. They had a good time.

Our Scarecrow

The kids and I fixed a little fall decoration for the front yard. We have hay, pumpkins, mums, Indian Corn, and a scarecrow. The kids are having fun rearranging the pumpkins. Let's just hope that no one steals our display.

Whirlwind trip to Texas

Jeanette, Kellie and I made a whirlwind trip to Texas to see Will on Thursday. We had a wonderful time playing pass the baby and visiting with Jeff and Valerie. I only wish that we had more time to spend with them. But the quick trip was worth it. Will looks so much like Jeff did as a baby and he loves to snuggle in and have someone hold him while he sleeps.

The first day of school

Sean had his first day of "real" school on Monday. He started PreK. He is in a class of 20 kids. His class is very similar in setup to the one that he was in at St. Luke. He has already made a new friend whose name is Noah. Sean is excited that he gets to eat in the cafeteria with the big kids. Much to his Daddy's disbelief, Sean informed us that not all of the Lunch Room ladies are fat and ugly. But that they do wear hairnets. Long story, don't ask!

Paige moved to a new room also. Some of her best friends moved up with her and she also has new kids in her class. She is having fun being able to play on the big kid playground.
