Sports, Sports, and More Sports!..

So much fun to watch them this fall...so much improvement from Jacob, and fun to watch both of them score their first goals.

Pep talk from dad.


This little monster wanted to be part of the fun so bad, he made it near impossible to watch any of the games. I don't think spring will be much better...probably worse.

Anna's 4!..

Birthday girl muffins for breakfast...her favorite!

right before school in her new birthday outfit.

Family birthday...for her very last gift we told her that next May she would be getting a new brother or sister!

Friend birthday...I know it is really hard to see, but we had a flip flop theme birthday, so I made some adjustments to the game of candyland and made a huge outdoor flip flop land game.


Anna is on orange.

The cake.


and the friends.

First Days of School...

First, off goes my big second grader...




Then goes my little girl, for her first day of afternoon kindergarten.



Ahhh, they survived!


They wanted me dead so bad in this pic...the school encourages you to ride the bus on the first day, but I like my annual pic in front of the sign, so I made them get in the car and go back to school for a picture...I am pure evil.

Last Days of Summer...

Well, we had a crazy summer, but it was a lot of fun. Now it's time to get back in school mode...drat! Here's Anna at her kindergarten orientation...getting ready to take her practice bus ride. 

Cole Chillin like a Villian in his precious princess crown.

Not totally sure what Anna was going for here, but we think she may have had a seasonal brain malfunction.
