Jason and I before a dinner with friends.

Aiden- he wanted to make this backugan a reality. So with his vision and my art skills, this is what we came up with.

Aiden plays basketball!

2011-02-02T13:18:00.000-08:00

Love this picture. This kid from the other team was really good at blocking Aiden and he was getting so frustrated. Aiden did make the shot though. That's our boy!

This year we signed Aiden up to play basketball at Old North. So far, he seems to really like it. He is learning a great deal about shooting, blocking, and trying to be open to get the ball. All the kids are obsessed with being near the ball.

Aiden's First Grade Christmas Program

2010-12-10T17:08:00.000-08:00

Elfis and the Sleigh Riders....Aiden was a wonderful member of the choir. His friends had some really great parts. It was an enjoyable program teaching the lessons of forgiveness, friendship and love. Way to go Aiden.

Jason and I went to a wedding and of course we didn't get ANY pictures of us until the end of the night. Great dress, good company...good times.

Aiden lost his first tooth. FINALLY! he earned a whopping 5 bucks! from the tooth fairy.

Jason got his tattoo that he has been waiting for. A Christmas gift of course. Sharks to represent his inner animal side....:)

Aiden turns 7!!!

2010-12-10T16:46:00.000-08:00

Aiden turned 7 years old this year. He is getting so big and getting quite the mind of his own. He is extremely creative, funny, and you never know what he's going to say. Always thinking about his next move or action. Aiden was able to have friends at the house for a sleepover. It was a great time! Followed by family for the usual party. Aiden finally got his penguin pillow pet, bakugans, and a motorized scooter.

Capt. Keith Carpenter

2010-11-07T07:06:00.001-08:00

This is Capt. Keith Carpenter. Otherwise known as Diana's husband or Mickey and Evan's dad or to my kids...Coach Keith. Keith has left for a one year tour of duty in Iraq. Sadly, he was deployed on his daughter's birthday. :( In these pictures, Keith graciously came to my class/school and talked with the students about what he does in the Army. My class will essentially adopt him while he's gone. We will send care packages, write letters, and emails to boost his spirits and let him know we care and await a safe return.

Although we are very sad he is leaving, the sadddest of all was his wife, Diana's facebook post the morning he left..... He was gone in a flash....while we slept. He says it's easier on him that way.

Not a dry eye in my house that morning. Words are so powerful! Through the tears and heartache and crazy days we need to remember he is helping our country and without him and people like him who knows where we would be. He will be missed and this year will be a long one. BUT....we await a safe return and help out whenever we can.

Halloween 2010

2010-11-07T06:44:00.000-08:00

Jamie, Ginny and Jason at Cuyahoga Falls Halloween passing out candy!

I forgot I was a ventriloquist for my sister's party!

Well, Jamie and Karri had their annual Halloween Kid Party with a whopping 50something kids. All the kids had a really great time, as did the parents. As you can see Aiden...the sad one because a another boy thought he was a girl...was a Bakugan Brawler. Parker, too, was a Bakugan Brawler. Check out Skyler's costume. She was a viking girl and her dad...yes! Jamie, made that thing from scratch. He is SOOOO talented. He's turned into a regular Susie home-maker and Betty Crocker! Logan was Freddie Cruger this time, but his original costume was Billy the Exterminator...and yes...Jamie made that too. Here in Youngstown we just buy costumes! :)

Jamie's house! Canyou see the face. Amazing. We think they have too much time on their hands. HEHE!

As for the Younstown Trick or Treating, all the kids had a blast. Aiden decided to be Justin Bieber at the last minute, Parker/ Bakugan, Logan/Billy, Skyler/ Viking, Mickey/whatever was in the box at home...he hates Halloween and is terribly afraid, Evan/ none other than Bubba Fett. Good times as always!

CAVO

2010-09-26T13:11:00.001-07:00

Stacy and I had a chance to go see Cavo, one of our favorite bands. They used to open for Daughtry, but are now out on their own making a name for themselves. They played at Club Gossip on Tuesday evening with 4 other bands. It was a lot of fun and great to see them so close in our hometown AND within walking distance from our houses. If you ever want to listen to some great rock music, Cavo is a sure fix. One of their songs is featured in the movie Transformers. Way cool!

http://www.cavomusic.com/

Did I mention that we were front row by the bar and we could literally see the sweat on their brow? It was awesome!

I think I look cheesy in the last picture with my crazy eyes. I was just pumped!

Team Red Fall Ball

2010-09-26T13:05:00.001-07:00

As the fall leaves begin to change their colors, the Webb boys begin their adventure into fall baseball. Both are on team red this year and our learning quite a bit. New bats and a hard ball really makes a difference. It will be interesting to see how the spring plays out this year with a step up in age group and the boys on the same team. Now, I'm loving it because I only have one place to travel. GO TEAM RED!!!!!

First day of school

2010-09-06T18:41:00.001-07:00

The kids had a wonderful day on the first day of school. Aiden, this year, is in 1st grade. Parker is in 2nd. They both seem very excited about their teachers and classes. They are more excited that they get to play with eachother at recess. Apparently 1st and 2nd graders eat lunch and have recess together. Aiden waits for Parker every day on the playground. They are truly best friends. A new year of new beginnings. I posed with them for a picture since it was my first day too. Well, technically I just had teacher report day, but still, it marks that summer is OVER!

Random Summer Pics

2010-08-28T19:55:00.000-07:00

Thanks to my friend Alexis, the boys got a new and freshly painted room. She is so artistic. Not that Jason isn't, but she and I spend our days in the summer thinking of things to do while he and her husband are at work. Hey, they could've been teachers too. Anyhow, we love, love, love how it all turned out. Surf's up!

Peggy, our guinea pig is the newest addition to our family. We inherited her from some friends. Yeah us! ;) She is really nice and gentle with the kids. We think she's ready for a backpack to try out for G-Force II. Thoughts?

10 year anniversary! We look so silly. I can't believe it's been this long. Actually it's been about 8 years longer than that. A lot of work and a lot of love is keeping us together! ;)

Camping at Mohican

2010-08-28T19:46:00.000-07:00

This before the big river ride!!!!

Fish DID NOT come home with us unlike popular vote. Ewe!

Oh the joys of camping.... I forgot how camping really was. Sit around, fish, drink, eat, sit around by the fire, drink, eat, canoe...That about sums it up. We actually have a great time. Uncle Russ and Aunt Mary T, Leslie, Chris and Hunter, and our entire family got togehter for a weekend in Mohican. It was quite fun rafting down the river for HOURS! and playing in the river. I just liked seeing our family and getting some time to catch up. We stayed in a cabin in case you were wondering. I don't know if I could tent for the weekend. Although I must confess: I showered Friday before I left and on Sunday upon my return. I know, I'm gross. But in the spirit of camping I was all in or go home.

Lisa and Jake's Wedding

2010-08-28T19:28:00.000-07:00

Our dear friends Lisa and Jake got married this summer. We were very excited to be apart of their special day. The wedding was beautiful as was the reception. We all had a great time filled with lots of fun memories. I love Brian's big cheese in the picture. He never gets crazy...BTW- he even danced that night. We all did! I especially liked what Erica had to say about her sister. Erica just loves her no matter what. I think she even cried. WHAT???? Erica cry? she did! Memories!

Outer Banks- Duck Vacation

2010-08-28T19:11:00.000-07:00

Jason's family, the kids and I all headed to the Outer Banks for a week in July. We had a really great time. It was very nice to spend most of it with Jason's cousin Vic and his girlfriend Callie. They are from Pittsburgh and we don't get to see them very often.

The beach was nice but the water was a bit cold at first. There was a big storm just before we got in there so we had to be patient for the water to warm up. The weather overall was crazy hot! It was a nice time and we all relaxed on the beach and enjoyed the time together.

The Beads place was Ginny and my favorite place to go. Had we more money we would have spent it all there. Even the boys enjoyed making their own bracelet and necklace....for boys of course! Ahh, where to next time. Oh the decisions.

Aiden T-Ball

2010-08-06T07:03:00.000-07:00

We had a successfl season as far as T-ball goes. We are all winners! ;) Aiden made some nice friends. He also learned that he can pitch pretty well. Both boys are looking forward to Fall Ball and next season since they will be on the same team.

Skates, carts, and bikes

2010-07-12T14:47:00.000-07:00

Skating in the basement, the new golf cart at Papa Boda's, Aiden rides a bike without training wheels. Oh how time flies!

Ok- guys I'm almost caught up. Just our trip to Columbus and Christmas. I shall return at a later day to post. Enjoy!

And the winner is....Parker and Aiden Webb

2010-01-02T11:45:00.001-08:00

Let's begin with LAST year. I did not think allowing the kids to enter in the art show was a big deal. HOWEVER, according to Jason it was. Imagine that? This year, Jason entered the kids in a PTO art show about Beauty is.... The kids were very much excited about the whole thing. And to our surprise....both the boys won!!! Yeah! Parker...a 1st place winner...said the beauty is a baby. He decided to draw our little friend Ty (Alexis' son whom they LOVE!) . We have this picture of Ty laying on his belly in golf shorts and t-shirt with a huge smile on his face. Apparently the judge thought it was the best because he won first place.

Aiden, the 2nd place winner, said beauty is penguins. Without a doubt we knew he would pick that. Aiden decided to paint a penguin. It turned out a little goth, but the judge thought it was great. He earned 2nd place in the same category as Parker. Primary Visual Arts!

The judge was Chris Yambar the illustrator of the Simpson's comic. He was awesome. It was more awesome for Jason to meet him than the boys, since he has been watching the Simpson's for years and years. He was a funny guy and really had a good time talking and drawing for the kids who entered and won.

Parker's picture will go on to a district competion and if he wins that it will go on to a state competion. We are keeping our fingers crossed for him to go all the way...National!

You can imagine how Aiden reacted...being the artist of the family! Ticked he came in second place and Parker getting first. Both were extrememly excited in the end. The school put on an ice cream social to hand out awards and Jason and I both got to be there to see the smiles on their faces. It was a glorious day!

1st Annual Gingerbread Party

2010-01-02T11:27:00.001-08:00

A Sandwich Factory reunion! WooHoo. Just in time for the holidays. Susie decided that we should all get together and make gingerbread houses at her home. So all the oldies got together and each made a house! (thanks Joe ;0)!!!) We had lots of fun reminicing about the old days and catching up on new happenings. We all seem to be in a different place in our lives now, so hearing the gossip was great fun and it was nice to see everyone. Lots has happened in the past 17 years. I cannot believe it has been that long since I originally started there. Man- I was just 16! I'm 34 now! All that truly matters is that we are healthy.

Parker's Play...The Elves' Impersonator

2010-01-02T10:57:00.001-08:00

In first grade, the students put on a holiday play every year. Parker was a choir member. He's not much for getting up in front of a crowd like that. Plus, I don't think he had a choice. He had a good time practicing and performing for the fellow parents. The school did lots of holiday crafts that they seemed to enjoy. Christmas is always an enjoyable time at school. :) I'm not biased or anything ;)

Aiden's 6th birthday

2010-01-02T10:40:00.000-08:00

Aiden's 6th birthday was quite the funfilled day. We celebrated with friends during the day and family at night. Thanksgiving weekend is always the beginning of our holiday season. Ok- so Aiden had some close friends over for a penguin party. We ate pizza and decoarted cupcakes instead of a cake. It was a reallt good time. Thank goodness for Aunt Karri and Uncle Jamie who always help with our parties since we always choose to cram 2 in one day. Lots of pics were taken, but these a just a few to give you a glimpse.

So Aiden is now 6. How time flies by? He is so independent and DRAMATIC. Did I mention that once before? I think I did. He is definitely concerned with his clothes and his hair. Pants, socks and shoes MUST fit perfectly or else. Jason has had some trying mornings before school. Oh, just about EVERYDAY! Textures really bother him. Underwear cannot ever show. He will bend and move in all sorts of ways and if even one seam or thread shows it's a huge event of changing and starting the process all over again. Jason! Well, he's going crazy!

Aiden continues to practice facial expressions in every possible mirror or reflective surface. He's a Jim Carrey in the making. Furthermore, he draws just about everything. he is just like his daddy. Drawing and creating and making art is his favorite pasttime. He sees things in a way I cannot even fathom. Jason, however, can relate! :)

Thanksgiving 2009

2010-01-02T10:00:00.000-08:00

On the infamous steps at Great Grandma and Grandpa Rogers', a wonderful family photo was taken....as is every year. We Webbs squish together and smile. the kids this year were much more cooperative. Grandma and Grandpa weren't up to taking pictures this year. However, the family put together a wonderful meal and it was nice to share with all of our out-of-town family. All of Ginny's sisters and brother were in. What a nice time!

Later in the evening we headed over to my parents where we started a new tradition of stringing popcorn and cranberries for the Boda tree. The girls strung popcorn as the boys put up the tree and hung lights. It was quite different from every other year but very fun!

p.s. Aiden is so dramatic! I hope he's my movie star!

Halloween

2009-11-13T20:48:00.001-08:00

Between the school dress-up day, Brianna's Halloween birthday party, and trick or treat, Parker and Aiden had a wonderful Halloween. As you can see even Jason and I dressed up a bit this year.

Aiden and Parker of course got lots of candy, but it was Aiden who was a force to be reckoned with. He bolted from house to house in search of CANDY! Parker and Mickey fizzled out just a block after Even quit. These boys!

Parker, however, carved his very first pumpkin this year at NiNi's house. He was very proud of himself. Thank goodness for NiNi's patience because i would have grabbed the knife and finished in record time.

...on to the next holiday....

Aimee's Wedding

2009-11-13T20:43:00.000-08:00

Aimee, our friend, got married just a couple of weeks ago. She was a beautiful bride! What a wonderful time to catch up with old friends and remember the good 'ol days.

The "Webbs" / Party

2009-09-20T09:33:00.000-07:00

The kids had a birthday party over the weekend and they had a facepainter there. She was awesome...as you can tell. Of course this is the true meaning of "webb brothers". the boys had a wonderful time...apparently I did too. Wonder if I could wear this to school on Monday? :) What a great idea to do at a party. All the kids thought it was awesome and it just made for better make believe play!

Aiden's 1st day of Kindergarten

2009-09-12T18:59:00.000-07:00

Aiden LOVES school. Of course we already knew he would. He likes riding the bus, and going to class, and eating lunch...we he can buy....and playing at recess. When he comes home he even likes to play school. He's a man after my own heart. I only hope this year his teacher encourages him to use both hands for writing. He can do this already with ease and we would like to maintain it at school. Did I forget to tell you that he's our money-maker? ;) Ambidextrous!

Parker's 1st day of first grade

2009-09-12T18:24:00.001-07:00

Parker is in first grade. You might notice that these are 2 separate days. Funny story... on the actual first of day school the buses were all mixed up. So when they finally saw a bus coming down the street...late...the boys were excited. BUT the bus drove on past and the driver waved. Thankfully Papa was there just in case and he had to drive Parker to school. Parker was not mad, but he was the last kid in school on that day. The next morning went off without a hitch. He is enjoying school this year in spite of all the homework. Yeah!!!

Puppy

2009-09-12T18:14:00.001-07:00

My mom and dad got a new puppy!!!! Yeah! She is so cute and cuddly. Like a big panda bear. Her name is Oreo and the kids just LOVE her. She is a Great Polly, Pyrenes, Collie mix. Yes, she's gonna be big!!!! We are actually babysitting this week, so I'll post newer pictures of her getting in trouble. ;)

Firestone Park

2009-09-12T18:02:00.000-07:00

We had a family reunion at Firestone Park. The reunion was with my mom's side of the family. The Bobovnyiks. The weather was cold, but the kids had a good time. They found a great play area they really enjoyed. It was nice to see all the relatives we normally don't get a chance to see. :)

Carnegie Museum

2009-09-12T17:45:00.000-07:00

Sorry that some of the pics are blurry, but I had a hard time finding ones with the boys. We spent the day at Pittsburgh Carnegie Museum of History. The boys were astounded by the dinosaurs. To think they "actually" lived. The size of them too was simply amazing.

Swimming at Aunt Robin and Uncle B's

2009-08-17T12:37:00.001-07:00

The end of August has proven to be quite the scorcher. We all got together the other day for some fun in the sun. Meeting at Robin and Brian' s, we all had a great time swimming, cooking out, throwing water balloons, and just relaxing trying to keep cool. Lee and Jason definitely thought they were younger than they really are. And even though he is smaller than most Lee almost broke Jason's back. Aiden is becoming braver and braver with those floaties and Parker is a fish. Afraid of nothing in the water, he scares the crap out of us. Thanks Robin and Brian for letting us use your pool and allowing us to hang out all day.

Cake decorating

2009-08-17T12:30:00.000-07:00

On a rainy day the kids and I decided to bake cakes. Obviously, we watch too much Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes. Parker made a Pokemon while Aiden made a Bakugan cake. Very messy, but a lot of fun. We even put dye in the batter so they could a blue and green cake. What a delicious way to spend the day.

Ahh, how cute?

2009-07-26T16:36:00.001-07:00

Jason and me ....date night while kids had a sleepover (thanks Diana!) and a wedding we were at over the weekend (Congrats! Mr. and Mrs. Walker)

No more cast!

2009-07-26T16:30:00.000-07:00

WooHoo! Aiden finally got his cast off. At first when the nurse was cutting it off he was laughing because it tickled. Then, when it was all the way off, he thought he was going to move his arm the way he always did....Wrong! His arm was very stiff and it actually hurt to move. He nursed it throughout the next couple of days and slowly but surely he was able to move it around. Thank goodness Aunt Erica is in physical therapy....her expertise while babysitting have helped tremendously. Thanks Erica!!!! I have pictures on my phone, so once I figure out how to send them, I'll upload.

Camping

2009-07-26T16:14:00.001-07:00

Parker got a tent for his birthday from his NiNi and Papa. They thought it was time Parker and Aiden camp out. Well they were right. Jason decided that he and the kids were going to camp out. The boys helped us set up the tent, we called the cousins to come over to spend the night, we ate hotdogs and roasted marshmallows over the fire. The kids caught fireflies and played flashlight tag. At the end of the night and after all the sleeping arrangements were set, Jason told a SCARY story about a bear who escaped for the zoo and traveled here to Austintown and turns people into zombies....and although the kids were scared for a half a second....either by the scary stories or just Uncle B sneaking up on them and screaming.....they all...including Jason....slept in the tent ALL NIGHT!!!! I can't believe it! They all made it through the night.

Good Times!

crayola factory (189 photos), by Julie Webb

2009-07-12T07:57:00.001-07:00

Ok, I was trying to edit the picture you see on here and I lost it. Tried to upload another and I can't figure it out. BUT!!!! We had a great time at the Crayola Factory. Diana and I took the boys to Easton, PA about 5 and half hours away. The boys enjoyed all the crafts and seeing Spongebob. Most of all, however, they loved the pool at the hotel. Aiden was able to actually see real live penguinis at the LeHigh Valley Zoo. Stay turned for our next adventure....maybe LegoLand in Chicago!

I'd like to share my Snapfish photos with you. Once you have checked out my photos you can order prints and upload your own photos to share.

Tricks' summer cut

2009-07-12T07:00:00.000-07:00

Since Tricks was getting overrun with mats we decided to bring back the summer cut.. Of course he would never sit for anyone to shave him, so we had the Niles vet do it. He was a bit groggy upon his return, but he made it through just fine. Doesn't he look old? Poor Tricksy-cat!

Parker's Birthday Parties...family and friends

2009-07-06T17:11:00.000-07:00

Parker's birthday party was a huge success. He had his friends over from 12-3. Thanks to Aunt Karri and Uncle Jamie and their HUGE blow up water slide the kids had a great time. You can tell that the big Pokemon pillow was one of his favorite presents. Parker really wanted to have a pinata, so Jason found the best monkey. However, Parker was the 1st kid to give it a good wack and he whipped that head right off its body. Very funny and the kids went crazy.

Later in the day, our family came over to end the day with Parker. We cooked out, opened presents and ate cake. A typical and relaxing evening and the family got to really enjoy him on his birthday. He got a skate board, some games, a tent...woohoo...and a membership to Club Penguin. He was delighted and overall had a wonderful day.

Thanks to all who made Parker's day the most enjoyable one ever!

King Aiden

2009-07-05T20:22:00.000-07:00

Aiden decided he was going to be king for the day. Actually, he has been trying to be king for quite some time. He just likes to boss people around...like his mother I guess. He found parker's birthday hat from school and put his ratty old blankey around himself. He demanded (because he was the king of course) that I take his picture to share with you. King Aiden....What will my future hold with him. Head of a company I hope.

Last T-ball Game of the season

2009-07-01T07:16:00.000-07:00

Parker and Aiden had their last tBall game of the season. It was a very nice game even though the team didn't play so hot. The president of the league announced their names as they batted and again during the trophy ceremony. The kids were delighted and everyone got a game ball. Sweet! We can look forward to a nice, relaxing summer and fall ball come September. Coach Mike was a great coach and the boys learned a lot from him. Parker is definitely ready to move up. thanks for a great season. :)

Parker's Birthday

2009-07-01T07:05:00.000-07:00

Parker turned 7 on June 29th. Since we just got back from vacation we are having a party for him next weekend. On his birthday, however, his Grandma Ginny sent him balloons with candy. He was very excited to recieve that. (Thank you, Ginny!) We baked a cake together, made pepperoni rolls...his favorite, and gave him a small gift. He had a wonderful day. It's hard to believe he's already 7...soon I'll be saying it's hard to believe he's 17! Yikes!

Indian Shores, Florida

2009-06-28T16:49:00.000-07:00

Our Florida vacation was great fun. We stayed at Indian Shores on the Gulf side. The boys had fun in the sun on the beach, enjoyed swimming in the pool, visiting the Aquarium, PuttPutting with the gators, and plenty of shopping and eating out. It was relaxing and HOT! We all came home with nice tans. Aiden became quite the Floridian with his alligator teeth necklace and shark tatoo. Parker is a future surfer....that child has no fear of the water whether it's the pool or the ocean. We had so much fun with our family. WooHoo Vacation! We are, however, glad to be home! There's no place like home!

Poor Aiden

2009-06-18T19:58:00.000-07:00

Aiden had a little trampoline accident the other day. No! We don't have one! Never will! He decided he was going to jump off the side because the little boy in front of him was apparently moving too slow. He jumped down and broke his arm in 2 places. Above the elbow and his wrist. Way to go, Aidie! He thinks he's invincible....don't all kids. I'm sure this is the first of many. As you can tell he already started writing on it. Soon it will be full of names and drawings of scary monsters.

Mohawk Sunday

2009-06-18T19:48:00.001-07:00

Coach decided it was time to pull out the mohawks. Kids had a great time and even had black eye paint. Very intimidating! for 5/6 year olds.... They all enjoyed seeing eachother and telling eachother how cool they were. Too bad it was a scorcher that day on the field and the kids were moving kinda slow.

Hot-Roddin' w/ Uncle B and Aunt Robbie

2009-06-18T19:39:00.000-07:00

Uncle B and Aunt Robbie got some new bikes for summer ridin'. Parker and Aiden think they're great. Even though Uncle B goes REAL slow. Hope this isn't what's in store for my future.

Dad's Retirement

2009-05-13T19:42:00.000-07:00

My dad retired a couple months back. He is in his glory and enjoying every minute. Robin, Lee, and I decided we should celebrate his 35 years of service for AT&T. Along with all of his brothers, his mother and a few friends...we had a nice time at Scachetti's. Way to go Dad!

Aiden and I had Mother's Day luncheon at preschool today. It was very nice. The children made a recipe book and the food from that was what they served. Hot dogs, tacos, chocolate chip cookies and apple pie. Nice! We made crafts and had a wonderful time. Aiden's teachers are so thoughtful. Enjoy and Happy Mother's Day to all.

Mommy and Me at the Farm

2009-05-07T18:05:00.000-07:00

Parker and I had a chance to go to the Experimental Farm today with his Kindergarten class. What a nice day it turned out to be. We got to make ice cream, take a tour of the farm, and paint a lovely potted plant. We decided that Papa needs more chickens and baby goats on the farm. Notice the duck as the potato. Also, notice that Parker seemed to have more fun with his friends than with mom...par for the course.

Skyler had her 5th birthday this past week. She is getting so big. Of course her favorite gift of a candy necklace came from her Aunt Julie...of course. Last year it was the fur real friend I got her. She loves her Aunt Julie! :) Plus we got her an MP3 player full of iCarly music. She's in heaven! Love her!

Openign Day

2009-04-25T13:45:00.000-07:00

Parker and Aiden had Opening Day today for t-ball. Upon coming to this day, Aiden was super excited. He couldn't wait to get his uniform. Once he did, we ran home to try it on. The pants..being a small...were much too big and needed alterations. An inch on both sides of the waist and four inches off each pant leg. Could he be any smaller. Well, we got it all figured out now he loves his uniform. Today, they only played 2 innings but had a good time. Jason and I are so glad the boys are on the same team. Enjoy!!

Skating and Friends

Skating and friends.... Jason looks like Tony! Trying to do all the skater moves.

Jason and Parker had to have some pictures taken for the upcoming Math Night at school. Of course Aiden needed to be apart of it too. Too much these guys!

So far over our Spring Break, the kids have been fascinated with the wild animals in our back yard. Apparently while we're gone during the day Jason doesn't notice all the action we are getting. Between the raccoon, Mr. and Mrs. Duck, and our everyday squirrel, the kids and Lucy are going nuts!

We spent a wonderful Easter with family. Parker and Aiden found baskets at home, at Grandma Ginny and Papa Dale's, and at NiNi and Papa's. Could they be anymore spoiled? I especially like Aiden's face when he got clothes from his NiNi. Priceless! What little boy wants clothes anyways?

T-ball

2009-04-11T16:03:00.000-07:00

Parker and Aiden have started t-ball this week. What a fun time for the both of them . They are actually on the same team. This should be quite the interesting year. Aiden is very competative and tries to outdo the other kids. Parker, on the other hand, loves to play and is the peacemaker. I'll keep you all posted throughout the season.
