AUgust 2010

Well I couldn't skip this month either.. first day of 1st grade, lost our first tooth and just fun

SportyB lost his first tooth.. He was very excited to report that the tooth fairy would be paying a visit to our house. Being it's our first lost tooth we didn't know what tooth fairy might be bringing, so I asked SportyB what he thought. Very quietly he thought about it while looking out the window and then he said this 'I think she will bring me a $ for every corner. So my big ones in the back have 4 corners, so she will bring me $4 and the one I lost today has two corners so she is going to bring me $2. And she can't bring me quarters because those are too heavy to fly with, she will bring me dollars' and amazingly that's exactly what the tooth fairy did.

We had some friends over for a BBQ and my friend Charlie brought the kids lollipops.. well she wasn't playing around they were H.U.G.E!! In our house we are use to the dumdum sized lollipops, never the less the kids has a ball with their lollipops and yes BusyB attempted to eat the either thing.

showing their enjoyment

Before SportyB went back to school we promised him a slumber party with his sister. When she realized that he would be sleeping in there she wanted to sleep on Brody's bed. Eventually they fell asleep and we went up to check on them to find them like this.. how cute

SportyB was very excited about his first day of school. We were all able to walk him to class to start the year off right, here he is with his teacher

All ready for school

We made a weekend trip to Sarasota for Gram's birthday.. I had misplaced my camera until the end of the trip (seems I'm good at that) but captured a few fun shots before heading home.

Making the road trip not seem as long doing what mommy was doing

Grammie has this great basket that is now the new hiding place

and guess who had to go next 'my turn, my turn'

Guess who took a spill in the driveway, poor thing. Not sure how the top of her nose avoided injury, but it did

July 2010

Ok so I decided I can't skip this month.. we went on a family trip and I have a few fun photos videos of the trip. KingB's side of the family had a family reunion in Pigeon Forge so we took a road trip and headed North. We had a lot of fun and the kids did great in the car.. We have some video to show you how we kept ourselves entertained.

Here BusyB is eating grapes with the help of her toes

It was such a pretty drive as we got close and we were ahead of schedule so we decided to stop off and enjoy the sites and take a few photos..

This was the entrance where we stayed so we thought it would be a fun photo opt. BusyB enjoyed petting the bear

a funny clip of SportyB keeping himself occupied while on our way home

SportyB went down to Sarasota for a few weeks visiting grandparents and he can home with pet crabbies.. BusyB loved them when her brother brought them home.

June Recap

I think since I'm so far behind this might be my last month of trying to play catch up (maybe).. the kids have changed so much it's funny to be posting these old months, but I have to at least do this month as it's BusyB's birthday month...

Well this month we had a busy month and I guess I was back on my camera game as there are LOTS of photos. We had visitors, BusyB's 2nd birthday, fathers day, funny play videos and thunderstorm clean up duty. I might have to break this into two post to avoid the snore-effect or not to just get the month done! HA

BusyB got nail polish from Grammie and is all about having pretty toes. I caught a fun shot of the boys helping her out SportyB even wanting to try

She's such a girlie girl


Having cupcakes with all her friends

Happy Birthday

a girl that isn't afraid to get messy

SportyB enjoys snapping the camera - here was a fun self portrait

My friend Kim inspired me to make BusyB's cupcakes this year and gave me step by step instructions from what icing tips to use to the color mixing and this is what I came out with.. not to bad if I don't say so myself and they even tasted good

BusyB had such a wonderful day with all her friends and family. She played with each new toy and even had to take some to bed with her

Nice smile for mom

For Father's Day KingB wanted to go for a hike - someone hoped a ride with his sister to take a break

Along the trail was a playground so we took a break from our hike

All smiles

She has masted the pout

another fun one while at the park

We had a bad storm that required lots of clean up - everyone is helping.

Although some might of been working for a quarter for each wagon load...

It's a good out our cat enjoys stuff like this
