Kate's New Outfits

Just wanted to share the too cute outfit my brother Trey and his wife Jenny got Kate for her birthday. She was just so sweet in this!! Thanks Trey and Jenny.

Some Kids Sell Lemonade...

Mine sell leaves! Will decided today (after Ron had spent the morning rakeing and mowing the yard) that he would collect a bunch of leaves and sell them to people that came by the yard. Unfortunately for him there was only one sale- to me, of course. And I had to explain to him why no one was stopping even thought he was ringing his bell and blowing a horn. First off no one was out today. And, secondly, I pointed out the huge truck across the street that had just picked up all the leaves from the neighbors house. Not really a market here for leaves. Bless him!!

Three Kids in a Tub

Well, with all the new bath toys, we had to take a bath tonight and the boys HAD to play with all the new toys! New toys are a lot of fun- even if they are girl toys!

Kate's Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Kate's first birthday with the family. Grandma, Papa, Gran and Peter came into town to help us celebrate. We had a little party for her this afternoon with cake and presents. I made two cakes. One for our little angel to smear all over the place (yeah, right) and the other for us all to enjoy. As apparent from the picture, Kate was less than excited about the cake! She wanted NOTHING to do with it. Instead, she had some grapes and banana. What a little health nut!She got some really great gifts! New bath toys, a couple of dolls, a little doll house and lots of cute clothes- including the cutest darn red fleece pea coat!The boys made her little cards and Will wraped up a leaf he found! We had a great time and Kate, really liked her new things! What a fun day!

Last Soccer Game

Will's last soccer game.

Getting his first Trophy! What an exciting day!

The Mighty Cameroon Tigers


So, today Will had his last soccer game of the season which means- he finally got his trophy!! He has been asking about this since the first game! Mom and Daddy came up to see his last game (are in town for Kate's big day) and Will had a great game. He scored one assisted goal and had 10 goals for the season! Great work for the first time he played! He had a great time and had a fantastic coach and teamates!

Will Needs a Haircut... So Does Ben

So, do you think Will could use a haircut?

He pulled these velcro rollers out and had them all in

his hair. Just had to get a picture. And, yes, we have

gotten his hair cut! He looks like a little man!

AND..

Ben could use one, too!

Happy Birthday, Kate!!!

What is with this bow???

Sunday afternoon on the Couch

So, Ben is feeling a bit under the weather today. He is laying on the couch and watching- FOOTBALL. I said he could watch a show and he wanted to watch football. Funny little boy!

Ben's Big News

Well, Ben's big news: He stopped sucking his thumb cold turkey! He came to the top of the stairs last Sunday Night and announced that he was not sucking his thumb up here! He was so proud and we couldn't be prouder of him. I told him that if he could go without sucking his thumb until Friday morning (that included naps) that he could go get the bug eye glasses he wanted. So, Friday morning, after we did carpool, I took Ben to get his bug glasses. He was so excited and wore them to his celebratory lunch at McD's and all day long. Can't believe he decided to do this! We had been talking about how when he turned 4 he was going to have to stop. So, I guess we shouldn't be too suprised. But, we are and are SO proud!

More Halloween

Here are a few pictues my friend Jane took on Halloween: (I won't tell you what I had to crop out of the picture of Kate HAHA!)

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween! We went to a party at one of our neighbors and then Ron took the boys trick or treating. They had a fantastic time and came home with more candy that I thought was possible! Here are a few pictures...
