Another tooth missing

Austin's lost one of his top teeth and we are loving it. He looks and sounds so darn cute. I just can't believe how fast he's growing up!

Matthew's Second Birthday

On Sunday we went down to Uncle Chuck and Aunt Lisa's to celebrate Matthew's birthday. He's getting so big! The boys had tons of fun playing with Matthew. It was fun seeing everyone too :)

Grandma Layout

I am loving this page. I've had this picture on my desk for a while and when I saw these papers and flowers, I had to make a page. I just love this picture of Grandma! I'm thinking of starting a family history album. I want to start with the grandparents and keep going back. Eventually, I want to add a second page with info and fun stories, but I don't know if I'm quite ready for that. Anyway, enjoy!

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. My house looks like a tornado came through a toy store, but hey the kids have been having a blast. They were very happy with what Santa brought. Here was the seen after the gifts were opened.

We've been completely lazy this week. We did venture out for dinner last night--we went to Outback to celebrate our anniversary--thanks Dad! It's hard to believe we've been married 9 years now--where does the time go?!

Here are some random Christmas pictures. Sadly, I didn't take any Christmas Eve, which makes me really sad since that's when we spent time with family. The first couple are from when we went down to Naples to look at the lights--one of our favorite holiday activities.

Here is Santa--you can see Brendan was only slightly happier than last year--LOL!

These are Christmas Day. The boys got new bathrobes, with their names on them. Yes the Disney store got a big chunk of our Christmas budget with all their good deals on personalized items.

And for all the calls, cards and gifts--THANK YOU!! We are so lucky to be blessed with such a wonderful family!!

Halloween Fun

Here's the boys in all their trick or treating glory. Don't you love the dirty face?! You'd think their monther would wash them up before sending them out--geesh! No theme this year. They were both going to be Spiderman, but when I went to get the costumes, Brendan fell in love with the James the Train costume. He's such a cute little engineer.

All done--time to enjoy the candy...

Look at that look of concentration...

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Carving--Mike got to do the honors.


Austin designed his pumpkin


The Tigger came from a pattern
Here they are all lit up (sorry they're a little blurry)

Pumpkin Patch

THe boys had a blast picking out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. Even though it was smokey outside, that didn't stop them from running around like crazy. We opted not to do the corn maze because it was nearing dark, and Mike and I didn't have much luck the last time we did a maze--LOL
