Spaghetti

Would you like some toast with your cinnamon?

Um...that's a lot of cinnamon.

 

At least he made his own breakfast, right?

15 Years Ago Today....

 Eden Plays Soccer for the First Time (He did really well, and he lucked out-his best buddy was on his team!)

We got a new dog, Daisy.  I found her at my school, and I just couldn't stand the idea of her going to the pound.  You know, because 4 kids, a husband, a full time teaching job, a cat, and one dog just wasn't enough to deal with. :-)

Abby is Walking

OK.  So she's been walking since April.  Just remember, I posted about Christmas 6 months after the fact, so 2 months behind on this one isn't so bad.  I honestly don't know the exact date of her first steps.  At least I have it narrowed down to a month right?  She actually took her first steps at daycare.  Then, she took a few more steps when we were visiting Pam and Bob.  Of course, it was when I was out of the room.  So, when I finally got to see her walk, it was like step 5 or 6.  That stinker.  She can be so stubborn sometimes.  It's a good thing she's so darn cute.

Just in case you weren't sure....

Asher wrote some directions.

Translation:

directions of how to be awesome

1. put cool clothes.

2. show off.

This boy is legit...for reals!

My favorite memory of that week were my kisses from Jack.

Fun Times with cousin Eleanor: I convinced her to come home with us after our Louisiana trip.  :-)

Eden's 10th Birthday Party: Sheesh, he's in the double digits now.

 A Night Away with my Man, in Carlsbad Beach- SO NECESSARY (It was either that, or mental health leave from my job and my life.  I think I made the right choice.)
