Race for the Cure!

Joe runs in the Race for the Cure 5K every October, and this year, I decided to take the kids in the ol' double stroller and walk in the fun run. Mom's work is a big sponsor so she was there too, which always puts a smile on the kiddos faces!!

They handed out pink pom poms for the kids to shake at the finish line

Cheering our daddy on!!

Where is he??

See him? He's in the blue shirt.....running his booty off!

He finished in 20:54......really good! So proud of you baby!

Cutie-Pa-Tootie!!

Is there anything cuter than a little boy wearing a baseball hat turned around backwards?

How about a little boy wearing footed jammies with a baseball hat turned around backwards?

I rest my case!

Open House!

Last night we had the kids open house at their school. It's a chance for them to "show off" all the fun things they've done thus far, arts, crafts, etc. They were so excited to show Joe and I all their fun projects. They both have really great teachers this year, so that makes all this "school" stuff that much easier on me!

First, we went to Charlie's room. They have done some of the cutest things with them this year...

Love this!!

All month long, Charlie has had to bring his "favorites".....this is just a couple of cute pics that I loved. Loved the poem they made up to go along with his blankie. Anyone that knows Charlie knows he L-O-V-E-S his blankie and it goes EVERYWHERE we go!!

Quick family pic in Charlie's room....doesn't Reese look thrilled?

showing Daddy all his projects!

his "green book".....green was the color of the month!

Next it was off to Reese's room. Reese ran into one of her buddies in the hallway. Olivia was in Reese's classroom last year and they were big buddies. They got separated this year, so we only get to see her every once in a while. =(

In awe of her classmates! (we had to hang this pic in our room!!)

showing us their pics! (not sure what face Reese is making?!?)

storytime!

we tried to get a group shot.....one day, I'm going to get a good one!!

time to go!!

Homecoming Princess!

My sweet little cousin Maci made Homecoming Court at her school. Joe and I took the kids out to watch her during the halftime show. She looked so pretty and grown up.....hard to believe she's old enough to be a "Homecoming Princess." Reese thinks she's the greatest thing on earth and followed her around all afternoon. Charlie L-O-V-E-D going and watching the football game. He sat and watched the entire time we were there.....it's amazing how boys are just naturally into that kind of thing. Maci, you looked so beautiful yesterday and we are so proud of you and love you lots and lots!!

Admiring Maci!! (Reese LOVES her!!)

An honest attempt to get a picture of all the cousins......

Geez, this is not working out!!

Reese and her most favorite person on the planet.......her Mimi!

Poppa and his buddy!!

Twinkle Toes

My little sass-a-frass is still LOVING dance. We look forward to Wednesday's in our house! Keep on shaking that bootie sweet Reese.....you are such a precious ballerina!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Kate!!

Kate's Birthday Party was right after Austin's, which, by this time, our kiddos were so hyped up on sugar from the previous birthday party, they were wild. They ran all over Gymboree and climbed things I didn't know they could climb! They ate more birthday cake and then C-R-A-S-H-E-D!! I think Charlie was asleep before we made it out of the parking lot! Happy Birthday Kate!!

These little girls are buddies from school. Reese, Olivia and Kate!

Happy 2nd Birthday Austin!!!

On Sunday, we had 2, yes TWO birthday parties to go to at Gymboree! I'm not sure what the odds of that happening is, but I bet they're not good! Anyways, the kids had a BLAST, and got to eat birthday cake twice and play at Gymboree all afternoon.....pretty sure they thought they had died and gone to heaven! Happy 2nd Birthday Austin!!
