The Cardinal Sin

My Brother and Sis-in-law broke the cardinal sin and bought the kids living creatures (hermit crabs) without our permission.

All I have to say is, "Just you wait till you have kids... payback is sweet."

Let the games begin...

Aidan is playing soccer again this fall and we are noticing some improvement from last year. He's really going after the ball... running hard... making goals... and having fun(I think he had fun last year as well)!!!


Okay... could these not be for a Gatorade add or what?!?

Love this kid!!!

Happy Birthday to Brinny (and Daddy!) :)

Brinn and David both celebrated their birthdays this month. Here is the birthday girl in all her glory...

Opening some fun presents...

Trying on some of her new outfits (together)

And yet another outfit (also not pictured were about 3 other outfits that were worn over the course of the day.) Getting ready for the birthday singing...


I got Brinn curlers for her birthday and wanted to try them out. To keep them in her hair I put a pair of unders on. Needless to say after crying for 10 mins. about having to go to sleep in them I took them out. Maybe one day...

Happy Birthday Brinn and Daddy. We love you!

Aidan is 5!!!

We have had some birthdays! Okay, well Aidan's was back in July but it was a birthday non-the-less and deserves it 15 seconds of fame on the blog.

Made Aidan breakfast in bed and let him watch cartoons in my room. Even went out of my way to make him blueberry pancakes. Turns out he does not like blueberry pancakes... oh well.

Aidan got a new bike...

Went to Chuy's to celebrate with our good friends the Biorn's....

And a few days later had a party with all his friends... which included the pinata he has been asking for for over a year!

All in all, I would say the birthday was a success!

Happy Birthday Buddy! We love you more than you will ever know!

These Two!

Update on the Princess!

Brinn has hit some of her own big milestones in the past month or so.

Remember awhile back when I posted about how she always sleeps in the hall on the floor?
Well, she's finally graduated to her bed after 9 months.

She's CRAZY!!!

She knocked her top teeth into her bottom lip... luckily it healed up quite nicely on it's own.

And for the biggest news of all... Brinn is a potty girl! She seriously pretty much potty trained herself in one day. Now, I count this as a blessing seeing that I am STILL dealing with Aidan and his potty issues. HALLELUJAH!!!
