School Pics

I love school pictures. Who would have thought that daycare does school pictures. All I have to do is dress them and send them off to daycare, just like any other day, and then I get these really great pics. These were taken in September when Ella was 2 and Cullen 11 months.

Caught Up, FINALLY!

Ok, I think I am finally caught up on posting, or at least a little closer to being caught up. I'm sure that I can think of some additional things to show, but for now, this is enough.... until later of course

Like Mother Like Daughter

No more explanation needed!

The Big 1

Cullen's birthday was this past Saturday. I can't believe he is already 1. Where has this past year gone. I still think he should be this

but instead he's this

My little baby is turning into a little man.

I'll try to add a slide show of pictures from his party. If anyone can explain how, I would greatly appreciate it. If I can't figure it out, then I'll post some more pictures later.

The BOY can EAT!

As the kids finished supper, I was starting to clean up the kitchen. Michael was out of town and I had a friend coming over, so I wanted the kitchen clean when the kids finished so we could go straight to the bath. As I was loading the dishwasher, I heard Cullen grunting and turned around to catch this view....




Good thing we were going straight to the bath, since most of his dinner was in his lap!

Saturday Soccer

Everyday Saturday morning from September to November, we get up, get dressed and head out to the soccer field. My niece (KK) and nephew (Jared) both play soccer for a church league. Michael coaches my nieces' team. He has coached different teams for years, but the past 2 he has coached 9-12 year old girls. It has been a blast. Ella loves to go watch KK and Jared play.

Let's go Mama...

Watching KK and Jared...


Now THIS is how you watch soccer...

Mama Whatcha Doin'? Can I see that?

Cars, Swings and Tires, Oh My!

One afternoon in late August, Michael and I took the kids to the park. We met a friend there with her youngest daughter and let the kids play for awhile. Ella and Cullen had a ball.

Just arriving at the park...


Swinging together.....


Crawling in the tires...


And MORE fun.....

Yes, We are still here.

It has been a really busy month. This is one of the busiest times of the year for my job, therefore, I haven't been able to update as much as I'd like. So much has happened these past few weeks, hopefully I will able to update a little tonight. Everyone is in bed now, so here we go...

Happy Birthday Cullen!

Happy 1st Birthday to my little man! Can't believe you are all ready 1. This year has just flown by. More updates and pictures to come, but wanted to say Happy Birthday Baby Boy!
