Dino Cake

Drew had his heart set on making this dinosaur cake!

He had a blast decorating it with candy!


Carefully checking the picture to make sure it was perfect!

His finished Dinosaur Cake!

Trick or Treat! ('09)

We had a great time trick or treating with Grandma!

We went to a friend's neighborhood that has an awesome Halloween party again this year!

Here Drew is muching on a smore after roasting marshmallows!

....recognize the costume? Yep he is DADDY, for the second year in a row! We tried to get him to be something else, but nope, he insisted on being Daddy, so once again he is a Walgreen's store manager and he coudln't be happier! :-)

Our little ghost, all tuckered out!

Fun Times at the Farmer's Market on Halloween Day!

We spent Halloween morning at the Farmer's market with Grandma!




Playing in the pumpkin house!



...and of course the Halloween wooden cutouts!

(look at the sleeping Jillian!)

Drew and I picking out apples while Jillian is sleeping away!

Drew liked the "Andrew's Farms" sign

Checking out funny shaped gourds!

Grandma's Here and she brought Presents!

Grandma Cindy came to visit and brought presents for the kiddos!

This was Jillian's first experience with presents but she dug right into the gift bag!

Drew was a sweetheart and helped Jillian with her gifts


Look at my new dolls!


Thank you grandma for all of the new toys!!! They love them!

Cousin Andy's Wedding

We headed to Athens, GA for a weekend trip for Tony's cousin Andy's wedding.

This was Drew's first road trip with his new travel pillow. He loved it, but when he got tired he always took it off of the seat belt. Kind of like he was afraid he would fall asleep if it was there, and yep.... everytime he fell asleep he wasn't using it.

Occupying himself at the rehearsal dinner by reading his books (and playing with his cousin!)

Jillian loving on Daddy and being her sweet happy self!

Drew and Tony walking to the wedding.

I didn't get any pictures of the actual wedding. I was too busy handing Drew skittles one by one during the ceremony to keep him quiet.

Patiently waiting for the dancing to start!

Dancing with the girls!

Time to take the sweater off...

...now back to the dance floor!

He had a GREAT time dancing with his cousin and needless to say he slept very very well that night!




The handsome boys!





The girls!



My handsome little man! He was pretty much done with pictures by this point!

Congratulations to Andy and Kristy! We had a great weekend in Athens and enjoyed visiting with all of the family!

Social Bug

Once a week, I take Jillian to Mommy and Me.

I get some good Mommy time to talk to adults and she gets her time to be social with her friends! She loves mommy and me and talking to and playing with her friends!

This is often how she greets the other babies! Here let me touch your cheeks.... I guess she is used to that!


This picture just cracks me up so I had to add it in too! It looks like she is about to knock out this little girl. She was actually just really excited and I got her in between smiles and squeels! :-)

Cute picture of big brother after school!

Pictures with brother

She sits up really well on her own, but sometimes when I walk away I prop up two boppy pillows behind her, this way if she falls back a little, she can still get herself back up and I don't worry about her knockin her noggin on the floor!
