M.A.S.P.

I am starting a new cause! Mothers Against Styrofoam Packaging!

So, I'm on the phone enjoying a good conversation with a freind I haven't talked to in a while, when my little 4 year olds starts yelling "Mommy come quick!" So I run, and there is my little 2 year old, saying "SNOW!" If only it really was snow, that would be so much easier to clean up!!! Sigh! Oh that little one, and the messes he makes. I think I will wish upon him a child just like him when he has children of his own. He is a sweet heart most of the time so thats not such a cruel thing. Although it's not very fair to his future wife. Notice his shirt says Mr. Funny...yea not really so funny! Ok, so its funny now! I'm not sure wich is worse to clean up though, styrofoam or water and potting soil all over your bathroom sink, bath tub, and inside the cupboards, or marker and crayon on the walls. The crazy thing is, he does all this in such a short amount of time. What will he do next? I'm afraid I will find out all too soon!

Annual October Trip to Gardner Village 2008

Our annual trip to GV was once again, a total blast! Jared was new to the whole thing so, as you can see he is quite wide eyed and awed about it all. The weather was perfect, and the fudge was yummy! We love this tradition!!!

The Last of the 30 somethings.

Wow your so old! Cary has turned 39!
We celebrated his birthday for about 4 days in a row!
We had his family and J.J. over on Wed for Cary's favorite desert, and gifts, and then on Thursday we had freinds over and had his favorite spaghetti made by me. On Friday he had some friends from work come for dinner. On Saturday his mom watched the kids, while Tony and I took Cary to Red Iguana! (His mom paid the bill too! What a nice mom!!!) We had a great time!
I hope this year is wonderful for him.

Madison's Amazing Eyebrow Trick

Maybe its because, I'm her mom, but this made me LOL!

His Little Hands.

Ok, so I am going to wax a little sentimental here, but I just have to.
I was holding Jareds little hand today as he was leading me somewhere, and I just thought about how warm, and soft his little hand was, but in contrast how strong and firm he held my hand. He is my little man, but someday I will probably be feeling very fortunate if he holds my hand. When he is a teen, he may not even want to touch my hand, as an adult he may be too busy, or have his wife's hand to hold. So I am going to enjoy every minute I can to hold these warm, soft, little, most of the time dirty, hands. And hopefully as the years go by we will have these momets to treasure, and hopefully he will always remember that I love him.

Cardboard Boxes Make The Best Toys!

Kids just love a good cardboard box! Kate has moved in, and I am wondering if she is preparing to become a hobo some day. Well, you can only go up from there. :) She had so much fun with this box for a couple of days, and it reminded me of a favorite book my mom used to read to me when I was a little girl. You 'gotta love those cardboard boxes!

The First Snow 2008

T

Kate was so excited for the first snow!

She woke up very early and started yelling "Snow, there is snow on the ground everyone!" She immediately got herself dressed in her snow clothes, scarf and all. Jared really wanted to join her so he quickly threw on the first pair of shoes he could find. Unfortunatley they were Kates sandals, so he had to just watch for a moment until we found his snow boots. There is nothing like the first snow!
