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!

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!

Firestation June 2009

At Drew's end of the year party at school this year there was a slideshow of each of the kids with pictures and what they wanted to be when they grow up. Drew's response this year was a fireman.

School is out now and we now have more time to meet up with our mommy's group. We kicked off the summer with a trip to the firestation.

Driving the truck

Here he is standing next to the tire on the truck. He is now taller than the tires. The tires have always been one of the things he was most intrigued with the last few years at the firestation.

Click here to see last year's pictures from the fire station. It is neat to see how much he has grown and changed in the last year!

This was Jill's first outing with the mommy's group. She slept right through it.

Handsome fella

Coloring Easter Eggs - Easter 2009

Drew completely blew me away this year with the Easter eggs. He completely took over, knowing exactly what to do, leaving me with nothing to do but take pictures!

He had a system. He would pick up an egg, write on it (usually with his tongue sticking out), carefully put it on the dipper, put the egg in the coloring cup. He continued this until all 5 cups were full, then would take each out, then repeat. I was thankful that I had boiled 3 extra eggs, so he had 3 full rounds of coloring. I don't know what he would have done if he would have been three eggs short on that last round!

Last Summer Hoorah!

Today was the last Friday before school starts! Tiffanie from Three Peas and I decided to take the kids to the zoo for one last hoorah before school started. Her son and Drew are in the same class at school, and love to get together to play. We packed up her 3 kiddos and Drew in her van and headed on a little road trip.

Yes, we did see animals, I just didn't take pictures of the animals. I guess I was more concerned about getting a few pictures of the kids. We never did manage to get all of the kids in one picture together. We had a great time though and it was a beautiful day. It was still a little warm (right around 80 degrees), but it was the coolest day we have had in a LONG time.


On another note.... Today is Tony's Birthday! Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Drew woke Tony up this morning saying 'Happy Birthday Daddy!'
