The past several days Tyler's daily communication sheet from daycare has mentioned him playing with this or that with Rielyn. When asked who Rielyn is he responds "she's my princess"....how flipping cute is this little man?

Yes I'm that parent that lets my kids play in the leaf piles by the street

First Day of School

Leah's 1st day of school was today. It was just a 1/2 day for the girls and tomorrow she'll get to meet the boys in her class. I did a pretty good job of keeping it together until Tyler realized that we were leaving Leah there. Donuts and apple juice weren't enough to keep him from hollering "I want my Eah". Scott picked her up at noon and had lunch with her before taking her to day-care where she was as proud as could be to showed off her uniform. I don't think she stopped talking from the moment I picked her up until her head hit the pillow.

Leah's Birthday Surprize

Still figuring out the new camera and and the new pc hence the delay, but here's the big moment.

More Construction Site Fun

Who said a construction zone is no place for a kid? The kids have been finding plenty of ways to have fun despite the mess.

Leah's Annual Birthday Zoo Visit

Last weekend I took the kids to the Zoo for Leah's annual birthday trip to the zoo. Scott stayed behind to take the dog to the vet and get the yard cleaned up for a small get together for dinner. Aria, her mom and a long lost friend from grade school and her daughter joined us. It was a hot day and the kids we a bit of a handful so we didn't last very long.

In the evening some friends neighbor and family stopped by for a cook out. Leah was kind enough to agree to a Handy Manny themed party to play off the mess of a construction zone which is our back yard.
