awards day

brooke and scott had their awards day ceremony today. they are both ar star readers and we are so proud of them! scott's pic is a little blurry because i had to zoom in so much. in order to protect the privacy of the other kiddos, i did not want to post their pics on my blog... you know, just to be safe. so anyway, here's to our star readers! :)

just because....

here is miss priss doing a few of her favorite things. she loves her nintendo ds, loves coke (she can't help it...it's genetic!), loves anything fancy, and loves football...especially lately! i just thought the blog needed a little more brookie... she is growing up so quickly. where does the time go? we love you, sweet girl!!!

scott and coco

scott is the "special person of the week" in his kindergarten class. one of the things that he gets to do while being the special person is to bring the "class pet" home. thankfully, this pet is one of the stuffed variety. coco came home with scott this past weekend and we took coco everywhere with us. on sunday night, scott (more like mommy) got to journal about coco's adventures at our home. it was a fun project and tomorrow, scott will share his journal entry with his class. he was very excited to have coco with him! i thought i would share a few photos of scott, coco (on the left) and boomer (the small dog on the right). tomorrow is awards day at school, so i'm sure we will have more pics of that coming soon.....

football with grampi

we were able to visit gramma and grampi this weekend and had fun, as always. the weather here was beautiful, and grampi and the kiddos took full advantage of it. brooke and scott love some football...both watching and playing! they were having such a good time with grampi that i had to get some pics. the first collage is of all three of them. the second is dedicated to scott and his funny facial expressions! brooke was all smiles the whole time, but scott had some goofy looks. he's not gonna love me for this when he gets older, but isn't having pictures like this part of my job as a mom? :)

Happy Halloween!

happy halloween from our spider queen and spiderman!!!! :)

scott's soccer trophy

soccer season has officially ended and the tigers did really well! we are so proud of scott for playing and doing his best. here are a few pics of scott and his soccer trophy. speaking of scott, he was in the ER on early friday morning due to right lower lobe pnuemonia on top of his asthma. but he's such a trooper! hopefully he will feel better soon. anyway from us to you...happy halloween!!!

animal kingdom

***if you click on the comments below the disney posts, tyler added some more info about the pics that is fun to read. and, as always, click on the collages for a better view***

for their last day, they visited animal kingdom. the kids had charactatures done. i'm sure that they are cute! brooke said that scott's characature had a huge "potato head." i saw a pic of it that tyler sent to my phone and scott's head was rather large. haha! i wish that i could write more about this day. i'm asking brooke to fill me in, but she is sick and running 102 fever, so she's not much help at this point! bless her!!! i do know that one of tyler's favorite "brookie faces" is the pouty face that she is making up there. see it...with the pouty lips and her eyes rolled? she's our drama girl! we have a "girly girl" and a boy who is "all boy!" that is for sure!!!
