Wedding Weekend

Kristin & Dave were married mid October in the Bay Area and we went down for the wedding. The kids were all in the wedding and it was absolutley perfect. I don't have any pictures of the big day, but I did get some photos of the kids in the pool before the wedding. I'll have to update later with the wedding photos! We stayed in a house that had a pool and slide in the backyard. Of course it was absolutely freezing, but any chance those kids have to swim and they aren't going to pass it by!

Football

B is playing football for the 2nd year. This year he is one of the best players on his team. He has scored several touchdowns and helped to win many games. He loves playing and is really good! He plays both defense and offense and is a force to be reckoned with! He is quick and fast on his feet. He can tackle and take down most players and can run with the ball and get the touchdown! We are all so proud of him! Here are a few photos, it is hard to take pictures though. Whenever he is running with the ball I'm cheering and not taking the "prize-winning" photos that I should be snapping!

The Gator!

One day Biggie Bigs and Daddy were home by themselves. When I came home they had a new trick. Daddy could let Biggie Bigs drive the Gator all by himself. Daddy just used the broom to push on the gas and Biggie Bigs was off and driving! He absolutely loved driving the big car. He is obsessed with cars! Too cute!

His other new obsession is the The Wiggles. He loves singing and dancing so the Wiggles fit the bill perfectly. We borrowed a friends video and he was loving the show! How cute is that!

...I'm back!

So, on the 23rd of September I started working a long-term sub. position in J's class (his teacher had a baby) so I have been working and the poor blog was the first thing to falter! Sorry. Anyway, I am going to try and catch you up on all the life that has happened since then. There has been a lot with soccer, football, weddings, vacations, halloween parties, pumpkin patch, and of course the Biggie Bigs. I suppose a month isn't that bad, right?

Splish Splash I was taking a bath!

Biggie Bigs loves to feed himself and now takes many a bath in the sink after dinner. What we have learned from this is to splash! He loves, and I mean LOVES to splash! The other night he was splashing in the sink and washing the floor at the same time. The boy is amazing! The kids really enjoy playing with him in the sink too. I'm sure they are thinking to themselves..."wow, mom would never let us make a mess like this!"

Who's my big boy?

Biggie Bigs is my big boy! He is starting to walk! Over the past week or so he has decided it would be ok to try and take a step not holding onto anything. This weekend he is really getting more and more brave. He'll stand up in the middle of the floor and try his very best to walk. He is getting pretty good too, he'll take about 7-10 steps before completely losing his balance and plopping down onto the floor. I have to be quick with the camera, but I did manage to get a few good shots of him in action!

Don't eat spaghetti at my house...

This is just a simple warning...don't eat anything at my house that needed to be strained. As you can see from the photos a collander can be used for more than draining noodles. You can wear it as a hat, so you are ready for battle; you can use it as a shield to hide from others; it can be used to rest your tired, dirty feet; and last but not least, it can be a very comfortable seat!
