Guess who's 9 now? That's right, my little Aidan! But he's not so little anymore. He's past my chin in height and not quite as cuddly as he used to be . . .sniff, sniff.Birthdays are special, aren't they? Well, we like to think so and so we had a great **week** celebrating Aidan's birthday.We started off with presents in the morning. This sweet little guy woke up at 4:30 in the morning. When

The kids participated in a Halloween parade at school as well as classroom parties. And we did it all again on Sunday.As you know, we live in a video gaming household.

Aidan's class recently went on a field trip to the Spring Hill Farms in Petaluma. The farm is home to about 400 Jersey cows that provide milk for their Spring Hill Cheese Company. They have expanded their site to provide more of a farm atmosphere for the public and groups.When the children arrived, they each received a Spring Hill Farms sticker. While waiting for the tour to begin, they climbed

Recently both kids got to go on field trips to pumpkin patches. Ethan went to a local pumpkin patch and Aidan went to a pumpkin patch in Petaluma. (Aidan's field trip will be in another post.) Ethan's class rode the bus to the local pumpkin patch. All dressed in their tie-dye field trip shirts, the children arrived at the pumpkin patch full of excitement. The first thing on the agenda was the

Here's a blog post that I just have to share with you, for two reasons. One is because there's a G-I-V-E-A-W-A-Y!!! The other reason is that I will be entered in the giveaway if I post something about it! :-) "What is it?" you ask . . . . A $75 gift certificate to Lisa Leonard Designs (jewelry). I checked out her designs and they are really neat. I even found two I like. Check out the "Wish"

This weeks Blog Hop is Baby Pictures! I have so many darling baby pictures but they are currently buried under a bunch of stuff in one of our rooms. And yes, it is as bad as it sounds . . . but that's another blog post. Here is a picture of my youngest, nearly 6 years ago. He looooved his pacifier, or "suckie" as we called it. Everytime I see this picture, I find myself saying "Awwwwwww". Enjoy .

How Many People Do You Know that Live to be 100?

2009-08-27T21:00:00.001-07:00

This post is late in coming, but it is to honor my great aunt who turned 100 years old in July. I was able to attend her birthday luncheon, and it was really fun. Here is a picture of Aunt Marie. 100 years old and still able to walk without assistance! Mom and her Aunt Marie. Me and my Great Aunt Marie. Aunt Marie with her daughter Bev, and grandson Don. Look at that glow - and that wasn't even

Barb over at Bella Vista is hosting a Show Us Your Roosters Party. Since I just looooove roosters (and chickens) I had to join in. Plus, it gave me a reason to dust! To view other people's roosters, click on the "Show Us Your Roosters Party" button in the upper right margin. You'll be directed to Barb's site, where she listed all the blogs that are participating in the "party". Have fun!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

Today marks the 6th year that Ethan has blessed our lives. :-) He is such a precious little person. Very enthusiastic. Almost always has a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. When I was carrying Ethan, he was very active. I remember one of the nurses laughing and saying I was in for it! Little did I know. :-) He was in a hurry to get out and he's been in a hurry ever since. What a joy he

Tuesday's Blog Hop - Time to Laugh

2009-08-24T21:11:00.000-07:00

This week's Blog Hop theme is "Time to Laugh". We get a kick out of watching our youngest bust a move. When the music starts he starts moving! Lately he's been into doing robot moves. I hope this makes you smile. :-) Sorry it's sideways - I couldn't figure out how to rotate the video. :-( Also, don't forget to turn off the music at the bottom of the blog, so you can hear the video.
