DaMoN iS a MoNtH oLd


Can Damon really be a month old??? Time flies when you have a sweet baby at home. I wish he would slow down! He is such a good baby...except at 3 in the morning...and 5, and 7...kidding. I love him at all times of the day and he is always a good baby.

The kids had their first soccer games on Saturday. Aaron LOVES playing...especially since he had to spectate all last year. It is finallly his turn to play and he is so happy about it....(& shows ALOT of potential!) & Annelise is already so much improved over last year and is really showing so much potential as well that we didn't know was in that cute little body! It was hard to try to watch both games since they were at the same time...and both Josh and I wanted to watch them both! It was such a fun day with two great games! I love that they are both the same number...It made for a cute pic :)

Aaron and Cole already picked their costume choices for Halloween...so now we just have to get Annelise to decide. (this will be a process I am sure) I let the kids play with the masks that go with their costumes & it made for a fun day.



Aaron is lucky to have a friend who loves transformers as much as he does and play transformers alot...have matching shirts...and Myles is also dressing as BumbleBee for Halloween. I cannot wait to see them in costume!

I saw this cute idea in a magazine and thought I would share it...I made one of these "pencils" for Annelise's new teacher and one for her lunch box (as a surprise). I put candy in the one for her teacher and I put a special prize (I put a mini voice recorder with a recorded message from me in it with a candy) in Annelise's that she gets to find at lunch. All you have to do is use a paper towel roll for the pencil body (for the big one) and a toilet paper roll for the removable eraser top (so you can fill it) I covered it with colored duct tape and voila!
