September 2011, part 2

Here we go again...

Nathan (red socks)

same red socks!

Ethan and Matthew M. had a great time playing

during the soccer games every week!!

Don't ask :)

Sweet Haven--she was a bit of a challenge

for some of the games. They were long, cold Saturdays

for her, but she did fairly well :)

Dad and Haven...she finally fell asleep!

Stephen M. got in on the action, too!

I love Ethan's smile here :)

More soccer pictures later...Peter and Andrew played, too,

but I didn't get good pictures from their first game.

We had a squirrel in our tree... it was fun to

watch him and take pictures

He saw me :)

A normal response...run away from her :)

Andrew after trimming the neighbor's lawn

Daniel mowed the lawn

Peter mowed the lawn, too

Andrew's new thing this summer was to play

football in the street :) BTW...he survived!

Nathan playing football in the street--he

thought Andrew had a good idea :)

Daniel doesn't like to have his picture taken...

he's trying to escape :)

Ethan being a policeman on his motorcycle

That's enough for now...more to come :)

September 2011

Yes, you read that right. Remember I promised September pictures when I could get them off my dead computer?? Well, I got them. I've been procrastinating, but I'm finally going to bite the bullet and start putting them on. So, here's the first batch from September. (Hopefully, I can get caught up in time to put Daniel's birthday on here before Christmas!! Sorry, Daniel!)

Andrew's 10th birthday--Sept. 1

new keyboard

Ethan gave him a present, too...one of his trucks :)

Ethan playing peek-a-boo

First soccer games of the season--Nathan, Grandma W,

Haven, Ethan, and Rachel

For some reason, there are quite a few pictures of Daniel!

Here are a couple of them.

More soccer pictures to come...some super cute ones of Ethan and Haven, too. Not playing soccer, but playing during the soccer games.

Happy Birthday, Ethan!!

4 years old today!!!!!!!!!! How exciting for Ethan :) However, Mom doesn't like that her little boy is 4, four. That is so old. He was so funny this morning...he came running in my room and said, "Look how big I am. I'm 4 now!" He thought he grew last night while sleeping. It was very cute. He's been showing everyone how big he is and how high he can jump...because he's 4!! He's a sweet, funny, cute, (yes, bad!), cuddly little guy. He told me he would still sit in my lap because 4 is still little, too :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ETHAN JUDSON!!

(Yucky) First Snow

Yes, another collage. I think I have 2 more to put on here, then I'll go back to normal :) Sarah, Rachel, and Ethan ran outside during the first snow yesterday. They were so excited and wild (here is where mom says, "Yippee. It's snowing. I'm so excited. Now sit down and be quiet. It snowed last year and it'll snow next year. In fact, it'll snow more this year. Big deal. It's cold, it's wet. Shut the door when you come in.") Actually, I pretended to be a good mom and let them go outside for a bit and postpone their jobs and nap :)

Ethan in the tree

I'm kinda liking these collages--faster way to post pictures. I promise I won't do this always, though. In fact, some of these pictures are too cute to only put in a collage. I'll separate them and post them later.

Ethan was climbing the tree yesterday and I snapped these.

Princess Pumpkin Party

Thanks to Brittany Mills, the girls were able to attend a Princess Pumpkin Party last Saturday! The girls thought it was the best, the boys thought it was funny (of course!). The girls got all dressed up and painted their fingernails and had the best time. I was so thankful to get their dresses done in time...down to the wire on those :) They loved the party!! Here is a collage of the pictures. If you click on it, it will get bigger. I'll probably post some of them individually later, but I wanted to put this collage on today!
