Baby Steps

Aaron has finally started taking steps. Before we know it, he'll be running around in circles with the other kids! It was so hard to get a video clip of him walking. Everytime I had the camera ready, he would decide he wanted to crawl. Finally I got it today! ENJOY

Madison's First Day Back to School

Madison started 3rd grade today. I can't believe that the years are going by so fast. She was so excited to get the day started. Keith woke me up at 6:15 asking if we should get her up and I told him no give her about 10 more minutes. He went downstairs for 5 minutes and we he came back up she was up, dress with her back pack on asking if she was late. This is 45 minutes before the bus comes. We got downstairs and ate breakfast, fixed hair, brushed teeth, argued over shoes (GIRLS!!) and the waited patiently for the bus to come. I thought she would be embarrassed to have her mom stand with her to wait for the bus. At first I had her go and I sat on the porch taking pictures, then I asked if she wanted me to come over and she so excitedly said yes. To my surprise she's not embarrassed of me yet!!! I guess I still have a couple of years for that. I can't wait for her to get home to hear all about her 1st day of 3rd grade!

Ryan's B-day

Ryan had a great birthday this year. We had a bowling party for him and all the kids were sooo cute taking their turn. He didn't ask for much. We asked him early in the week what he wanted and he just said a dog leash. We asked what do you need a dog leash for? He said for the dog I want. Keith and I asked again the next night, hoping he would choose something else. His word were "Mommy remember, I'm not asking for anything else because that's all I want". After agonizing over it for the week that is what he got!! He named her Isabella but we are calling her Bella for short. We rescuded her from the shelter and is a shepherd mix. She is 3 months old and already 21 pounds!! She is a great dog and is so good with the kids.
