Labor Day Weekend at the Lake

We all met at the lake for Labor Day weekend. Thanks for the pictures Emily and Joe.

It was quite a competitive weekend. We played all kinds of games- real ones and on the Wii. Here the boys are "playing" Boggle.

We are all on the neighbor's floating dock watching the boys jump in over and over and over again...
It was a challenge to stay standing when those boats went by.

Our family portrait. There sure are a lot of us!

Kevin's and Philip's Birthdays

We went to the lake over Labor Day Weekend. Everyone was there, so we celebrated Kevin's and Philip's birthdays.

Kevin got lots of help opening his present.

We all pitched in and got him an iPod Touch. I'm not sure who was more excited- Kevin, Jackson, or Adam.

Baby Shower

Carol Chapman, mom's very good friend, and my aunt Jamie gave me a shower this past Saturday. We all dressed in our fanciest tea party attire, including hats, and enjoyed some fun times together.

The hostesses and me. Thank you for making this shower so special!

The delicious spread with different flavored teas to choose from- Perfect for celebrating a little girl's arrival.

Every little girl needs a baby doll. Of course, Adam and Jackson thought it was for them. Jackson got excited because she came with extra clothes.

It's going to be so much fun dressing Sarah up in all her precious clothes.

On the Way to Being a Snaggle Tooth

Jackson lost his first tooth... on the first day of school. He said they were touring the cafeteria and it just fell onto his tongue. It's a good thing they were just touring and not eating! No tears or anything. I'm glad it happened at school or our little Drama King would have really played it up at home. The tooth fairy did visit and left him some money for his tooth. He was quite the excited little boy.

Summer Fun

The babysitter compiled pictures of the boys and all the fun they had this summer into a slide show. They definitely look like they had a blast!

First Day of School

Tuesday was Jackson's first day of first grade. He has Mrs. Campbell and several of his friends from last year are in his class. So far, he loves it!

34 Weeks and Counting

This is a horrible picture of me but Kevin insisted on taking it. This was Saturday morning at 34 weeks pregnant.
