Aunt Sharon's Wedding

Just a few pictures from the big wedding day. We had a great time dancing the night away and outlasted everyone, even the DJ's ;)

Benjamin recognized the "Chicken Dance" right away and headed straight for the dance floor.

Alex had a great day, couldn't pick one moment as the best.

Elizabeth said the best part of the day was: THE MASHED POTATOES!!

Miss Caryn had a special song: "I Got a Feeling!" dedicated to her. It's her birthday today!! 6/13

Little Benjamin was one of the last ones standing.

All the Cousins!

Our new Uncle and Cousin.

Flower Girl Cousin Abby and Ringbearer Alex.

Caryn, Alex and Elizabeth helped pass out Wedding Programs.

When I Grow Up...

Yesterday, Elizabeth declared that she wanted to live in our house forever. I asked her why and she quickly responded, "Because then I'll be able to save money to buy as many Webkinz as I want!"



Caryn is getting ready to "graduate" from Kindergarten. She has grown so much this year and is ready for 1st grade. She's practicing a song for her ceremony called, "When I Grow Up..." and she'll be reciting one of the month poems: October. She's been working on it!



We received our first phone call from school today! Seems Mr. Alex got into it with a classmate. Alex was playing with a toy and the other little boy wanted the same toy. Other kid punched Alex in the stomach, Alex bit the other kid in the back. Principal called parents! 3K student lying down for a nap!





Our Poppies are taking over the backyard this year. They are gorgeous! Benjamin has had a great time watering them. Seems he learned how to turn the water faucet on pretty quickly. He's been warned and in timeouts already, so the outside water faucet has been turned back off!

Mom's Away, Let's Have Dessert

Just a few quick pictures as Elizabeth said we needed to take some pictures today. Mommy is gone to NY for a few days, so we're just chilling in the awesome Springtime weather. I also needed to put the date imprint on the bathtub pic, just to prove a bath was given. Daddy and baths don't go together often!

Christmas Family Pictures

Just a few Christmas pictures. Alex had a birthday a week before Christmas and had a Lightning McQueen cake too.

Benjamin Pictures

We went to get Benjamin's pictures taken last Tuesday. Our appointment was for 9:20am. We had to wait while the first wave of kids got their pictures taken. Unfortunately, these kids were not so coooperative. We got in at 9:30 and were out by 9:32. That's right 2 minutes! He smiled so much that the photographer ran out of poses and called it quits. These are the results.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Last week was Thanksgiving. Our week was packed full of fun stuff. Daddy has been spending his time at home entering all kinds of contests to win free stuff. Last week, tickets to "Plaid Tidings" and "Sesame Street Live" were the big winnings. Nothing big happening in our world this November.

The biggest addition to the family. Four holes!!

Caryn has been asking to get her ears pierced for several weeks and last Wednesday was the big day. Not to be outdone, Elizabeth also joined in. After the piercing, we went to the Hallmark store where Webkinz were on sale. Alex couldn't have been left out of the festivities, so Elizabeth is now the proud owner of Daisy the turtle, Caryn has Rainbow or Princess or Princess Rainbow, whatever you want to call her is fine, she says. Rainbow is a unicorn. And Alex has been carrying around Rudolph the big nosed Moose since Wednesday.

Hoping to get our Christmas cards ordered today to take advantage of the CyberMonday deals everywhere.

Halloween

It's over. Here's a few pics from our fun Halloween. Benjamin slept through trick-or-trick and there's really not a good picture of him, but we'll have to cheat and put the costumes back on for a good group shot.

Probably can't tell, but this is a list of all Elizabeth's candy. I'm sure she'll be crossing them out as they're eaten too.
