Halloween Spirit

Elizabeth has become very domestic lately, cooking, cleaning, caring for Jacob, and with my stress levels at an all time high these days, she does what she can to lighten the load. She has decided to make cakes for the holidays and I just have to show you her first attempt.

She is very excited about this cake and she put alot into it. Love you Lizzie

Best Friends

Last night, Conner and Jacob played together until they were both exhausted and then fell asleep at the same time. Kelly decided to spend the night so we put the babies in the crib together and they looked so sweet that I couldn't resist a few shots...you know how grandmother's are............

Fall and it's changes

With the onset of fall, wonderful colors explode anew with excitement as the fall and winter holidays approach. We bought the boys some matching outfits and they looked so adorable that of course, I had to post a few of them. Enjoy!



Happy 18th Birthday Parker

Well, it's official, today Parker is 18. He and Elizabeth are legal now (as they like to point out) Saturday we had their 18th birthday party and all I can think is...where has the time gone......I love you Parker and am proud of where you are headed in lfe.

You are a sweet boy Parker, My hope for your birthday is that you will ponder the path life presents for you and always make the best decision for yourself, not for anyone else. Happy birthday

Saturday's Events

LAst Saturday, October 8th, we had a birthday party for Ellizabeth & Parker. Sweet 18...where has the time flown? Jacob and I were up and out by 7 am to get all of the last minute running done that we could and after that he was exhausted. Then Kelly & Conner came over to spend the night and Jacob & Conner played until they were both exhausted......these are so cute

Jacob & the Bubble Machine

Last week, Lizzie, Jacob and I were in K-Mart buying Jacob a highchair. While browsing around, Lizzie found a bubble machine for the bathtub and since Jacob is a bubble fanatic, we bought it. However, when we got it home, it required an extremely small screwdriver, which I had but could not find. Last night, while cleaning out the desk, I found it and so tonight Jacob got to play with his "new toy". Take a look at some of these shots......

and by the time he was through playing, he went right to sleep.
