Halloween

This is our new dog Rocky. He's all dressed for Halloween.

Carving pumpkins....they were both very serious about it!

Michael's First Day of School

Michael started preschool today. He was super excited! I took him and his friend Nate today.

That's the two of them walking in together.

Cheerleading

These are some of Tay cheering. She is in the back row. Go Grizzlies!

Soccer

Michael had his first soccer game on Saturday. He was VERY excited. He got a blister halfway through the game and was NOT happy! We bought him new shin guards and are hoping that they will be better for him. He's still ready to go back and play!

Airshow

We took the kids to the airshow on Labor Day. They both seemed to really like it. Michael is now set on being a soldier. But he says he wants to be a soldier that flies the planes. :0) He especially liked the chinook.

Tay's first day of school

Taylor started 3rd grade today. She has a male teacher this year. She was a little nervous but happy to go back.

July 4th

This is a picture from our 4th of July party. We just had a few friends over. The kids had a blast!

Swimming

Taylor's first swim season is over. In the picture she is the second from the bottom. She has improved tremendously! She took 4 seconds off her backstroke time from the beginning of the season. Summer is going by very quickly! Before I know it the kids will be back in school.

Happy Birthday Michael!

Michael had his friend party on Thursday, June 12th. It was an X-men party! Look close at his hair! He wanted it spiked like Wolverine, one of the X-men!
All the kids before the slip and slide!

We rode Thomas the train this morning! This is Michael's second year riding the train. He loves it!

Kalahari 5/10-11/08

We went to Kalahari which is a waterpark in Sandusky. It was a celebration for Tay making her First Communion. The kids had a blast!!

Taylor rode the "big" slides with Dad. Mom only rode a couple.
Michael would live at Kalahari if he had the chance! He LOVES the water slides! He even went down a big slide with Dad! :)

Taylor's First Communion

Taylor made her first communion today! We are so proud of her! She had a great day!

Happy Birthday!

These are all the kids I watch! We had a dance party and icecream cake for my birthday! I painted some of their faces. Some of them just wanted a tattoo. The dance party was great! They are too funny!

Pip

We got a guinea pig! Taylor wanted to name him Pip. Michael wanted to name him Cheese. So his name is Pip Cheese!

Rockband

We just bought "rockband" for our Playstation 2. We all took turns playing an instrument (guitar or drums). We ALL also sang. Michael LOVES the drums! Taylor likes singing. Mike definitely likes having a buddy to play with. Rock on SuperMike!

Happy Easter!

The Easter bunny was very good to Taylor and Michael. They got three Easter baskets! They are very spoiled!

Taylor and Michael

This is new to me. So please bear with me. I got this idea from a family member who recently had a baby and is using it to share pictures. (Thanks Jackie!) I will add pictures after special occasions and events. Check back often! We hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!
