Back to Sophia's Birthday

Sophia turned three back in September.  Somehow my pictures got backed up before I posted them on here.  They are definitely worth seeing though so I had to find them.  Her party was a pirate theme with a jump house.  It couldn't have gotten any better than that for all the kids. They all had so much fun jumping and playing.  So did some of the adults.  My mom was pretty daring in the jump house...just wish I had a picture of that.

He would have moved in to the jump house he had so much fun

Kate and Ryan

The highlight of the day was when Captain Hook made his appearance.  He started off on the playhouse and tumbled down the slide....literally.  The kids were a little apprehensive but quickly warmed up when Kevin showed them it was just him.

Birthday Girl

Our Godson, Mark, at six months.  Getting so big!

Kelly's Baby Shower

We had Kelly's baby shower at my house a few weeks back.  I am soooo happy for her and Josh that they are finally going to be parents.  I cannot wait to meet baby Keegan.  It was so nice to have all my college roomates back together for the night.  I miss you all!

The BG roomates

The Holy Name girls....I love that we are all still friends after being out of high school for so long.

Casper the Friendly Bird

We went to a neighbor's birthday party and they had a bunch of birds there to do a show.  It was actually really cool...the birds have been on all sorts of television shows and stuff.  This is a picture of Ethan with his new buddy Casper. 

Ethan's Favorite Condiments

Ethan has been to a couple of Indians' games this year and his favorite part are Ketchup, Mustard, and Onion.  The last time we went, we just happened to run into all three of them and were able to take his picture.

Pre-school

I don't even remember if I have posted that Ethan started pre-school this year.  He is loving it so far.  Except we just had his first conference of the year and his teacher asked if he is color blind.  I guess when they tested him on knowing his colors he said all the wrong ones with no hesitation at all.  We know he obviously knows them all so I don't know if he was trying to funny or what.  The kid stresses me out. 

Ethan and Sophie are in the same grade so it was fun to get to go to see our school night together.  They were so proud to show us their classrooms.

Ethan is 12 cow heads tall...tallest in his class!

Mallory hiding in the lockers

This was from the first day of school

He looks so old :-(

and random golf picture.  Ethan wants Grandpa to take him golfing because "he knows where all the holes are without water".  He took his first practice swing outside, missed the ball, and proceeded to throw his club.  I guess he is learning the frustration of golf early on.

Bears and Browns

Couple pictures of the kids with the new teddy bear I got at Costco.  So much love for $24.99.  Can't say as much for our Browns again this year.
