Emily Lost another tooth

Congratulations Kirt!

Kirt pinned-on this Thursday. His parents were able to come up to visit and share this with us. We were happy to see several friends that have helped us along the way there for us as well. Congrats babe, We love you!

Soccer Season Starts!

Emily's Team before the official pictures were taken

Soccer season this year is a little more complicated now that we have 2 players, in different age groups, who play on different fields. The kids are having fun with it. Emily scored a goal during the first game, her first one! Her confidence really picked up after that. Jason definately has a lot of energy, I think this was a great sport for him to start off with.

Jason's Surgery Day

I know I am a little behind in posting, but we have been pretty busy since school started. The 2nd week of school Jason had his tonsils and adenoids removed. He did great in his recovery. Had the surgery on a Wednesday and was back at school on Monday.

Waiting to be called back.

All set and ready to go back

The nurse referred to this as his first "hangover"

First Day of School!

It's hard to believe that the summer is over already and the kids are headed back to school. Jason is starting Kindergarten this year. Emily is going into 2nd Grade. Can you believe it! Where does the time go? It doesn't seem that long ago they were just little babies :(

4th of July Weekend visit to Tampa

Since the kiddos had such a short summer, we decided to take a short trip down to Tampa for the 4th. Since Jason's Birthday is the 5th, we celebrated it while we were down there.

Had to get in a little Wii Archery :) He is so focused.

After a long weekend, the cousins decided to hang out in Grandma and Grandpa's room.

Emily's Birthday Party

We decided to have Emily's Birthday Party at a local nail salon! We were able to treat a few friends to "kiddie" manicures and pedicures! They had such a great time being pampered :)

Last Day of School

Well, Emily finished 1st Grade! Hard to believe that she is going into second grade already!! Time sure flies. She had a wonderful first grade teacher this year had a great time in school. I am so proud of her acheivements.

Jason's Preschool Graduation

It's hard to believe that Jason has now graduated from preschool and he will be entering Kindergarten in the FALL! Where did the time go?

Visitor on Mother's Day

We were enjoying Mother's Day morning watching a little TV after breakfast and we hear a scratching and knocking sound on the door. We wait a little bit and hear it again, really sounds like someone is trying to force their way into the house. Kirt goes and looks out the peep hole and sees no one. Opens the door and sees this trying to work its way in...

he quickly shut the door and went out another way to capture and release (far from our house) this snapping turtle.

Jason's New Milestones

About a week ago Jason learned to tie his shoes! Now today he asked to have his training wheels taken off. We have tried before, but he really wasn't confident enough then. So we took them off and...
