Busy, Busy Saturday

We had such a busy day, but very fun. Weather was awesome.

Emma had her soccer pictures before
her game. This was her team picture.

Xander wanted to play so bad.

After Emma's game, we went to the park to ride the trains.

That afternoon we met Al, Tonya, Xander, Johnny, and Anita at Ring Farm. We had alot of fun.

Look how tall we are!

Cute picture!

Love this picture of Xander

Emma sliding down the big slide.

Tyler had to slide on his belly

OK, so we decided to go down the slide

together. I think we were just a little too big.

Wow! We actually got a good picture

with all the kids looking on the first try.

Little Momma! Emma had to

take care of Xander during the

corn maze

After Ring Farm, we had a campfire. We roasted some hotdogs and some yummy smores.

Birthday Boy

Wow! Time flies! I can't believe my baby boy has turned 9. It just seems like yesterday I had him. The day before his birthday we celebrated our 11th anniversary. It was a very busy weekend. Here are some pictures of Tyler's party.

We surprised Tyler at school with cupcakes.

Yummy this cake is good

Saying Goodbye

We had to say goodbye to our black lab "Roc" yesterday. He was 11 years old. We got him when he was 6 weeks old, the first year we were married. It was hard saying bye. It still doesn't feel real. The kids took it ok. Emma was a little more upset. Their response was "when can we get another dog?" My response was "absolutely not, we still have 2 and that is enough."

1st Day of School

I can't believe Tyler has started the third grade. He is going to a different school this year b/c of rezoning. He was a little nervous going(I was too), but he really liked the school. His teacher taught at his old school last year, so he knew her, which made it a little easier. There's were several kids in his class that he knew. So far, he has had a good week.

Yippee!!

Ok, I have finally figured out blogging after 2 years of starting, thanks to Tonya. We have been a little busy this summer. Tyler has played baseball and softball and Emma has played t-ball. We went on vacation to Destin,Fl. Tyler went with my parents to Virginia. Emma took swimming lessons. I can't believe it is about over and the kids are starting back to school. Here are a couple of pictures of our summer.
