May I Brag A Little?

Jack just read to me from a Level 2 Reader (1st - 2nd Grade) and only needed help on a few words.
Words he got himself??

battlefield
defeated
appeared
worriedly
mysteriously
putrid
discouraged

This is one proud Mommy!
I'm allowed to brag a little, right?!

Lovely

My beautiful daughter is in bed now after vomiting all over the floor. In the middle of Dillards Department Store.

Lovely.

Should It Even Be Allowed....

To have young children AND parents at soccer fields in this ridiculous wet, cold weather?!

I think not.

But here are a couple of the cutest soccer players around -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK!

This morning I walked into the bathroom to hear Jack tell Andy

"Daddy...6 years ago today I came out of Mommy's belly."

Yes, Jack, you most certainly did!

The kids loved Andy telling "The Story of Jack's Birth Day" last night. They especialled laughed at the parts of
*Mommy calling and saying "It's time!"
*Daddy driving like a maniac to come home and get me.
*Mommy being in labor for 10 hours!

I would do it all over again!
We all love you, Jackson Paul.
Happy Birthday and many, many more!

REDS WIN! REDS WIN!

I cried last night when jay Bruce hit that home run.
I cried today in the car when they replayed Marty Brennaman yell last night
"AND THIS ONE BELONGS TO THE REDS!"

Today is a GREAT DAY to be a REDS FAN!
Merry Clinchmas!

'Round Here

'Round here...not much to report.

I just got back from working in Baltimore for Angie's List while Daddy and Grandparents Goshorn held down the fort - thanks a million to all of them!

While I was gone, Jack had his best soccer game to date. 4 goals! He always pulls out the big stuff while I am gone...remember losing the 1st tooth??!!

Will did awesome too - and cheerleader Brooke was happy to get snacks and be spoiled rotten!

This week we get a big 6 year old in our house, more soccer and hopefully another OSU and Bengal win.

And don't forget the Reds will probably CLINCH THE DIVISION tonight!

Great to live in Cincy...great to be home!

My September Boys

2 weekends ago we had all the family together, plus Aunt Julie and The Markarians and we all celebrated My September Boys with a fun birthday party.

The boys requested a Monster Truck Cake with their names on it!

All their biggest wishes came true...Pillow Pets and Legos.
And a surprise for each of them...

New bikes!

Happy Birthday to My September Boys!
