Miranda's 6th birthday party- Hello Kitty!

My big 7 year old

Halloween :)

I love the fall- it is my absolute favorite season. The colors, the crisp cool air, the crunchy leaves, the fun trips to the pumpkin patch, trunk or treat, carving and painting pumpkins, decorating a spooky gingerbread house, dressing up and trick or treating and ending it all by snuggling together afterwards watching "The nightmare before Christmas" sigh.. its done...

Oh and my birthday- how could I forget my birthday? thats silly- and this year my sister came to visit- yay!

on to share some pictures :)

fieldtrips galore!!

In the fall of 2009 we went to the pumpking patch 5 times!! We attended to pumpkin patch birthday parties, went once with Miranda's girl scout troop and both Oliver and Miranda had fieldtrips to Butler's orchard. Its a good thing our family likes pumpkins.

My Dancing Queen

Miranda has been taking dance classes at Cloppers Mill Dance Center since she was 3 years old. This year she was asked to be in the Performing Arts Team, they had 3 dances, Tap, Ballet and Jazz. As always she was amazing and had a really great time!

Out of sight out of mind?

Once again, no excuses just life. I haven't been motivated to keep up with my blog. It just really feels like everyone is on facebook anymore and that is just how I keep tabs on people and how they keep tabs on me. I just got home from a great girls weekend and there was much talk of blogs which halfway made me want to start again. This is it for now, we shall see if anything else comes of it!

Olibear is 5 years old!!

I cannot believe that my itty bitty baby boy is now 5 years old! Time has quite literally flown, but we had such a great time celebrating the milestone of him turning one entire hand. He was so funny, I asked what he wanted to do for his Birthday- I was planning on going BIG! Anything you want- what do you want to do? "I want a dinosaur party at my house" so Momma went to work planning. We had a big dino bash with a dino fossil dig, dino egg hunt, dino pinata and lots more- everyone was pretty thrilled with how it came out and Oliver was so happy to have all of his friends here to celebrate with him. On the day of his actual Birthday he wanted to go eat at Chevy's to get a big hat :) Here are some pics of our crazy dino boy.

Well that didn't work!!

hmmmm so I had a goal to update my blog and I think it last all of maybe 2 days before I got distracted again! I have to say that happens to me very easily. We have had a very interesting busy crazy year- mostly positives, only 1 big negative but we are doing well and are all happy. Now just to figure out where to begin... again...
