Family pictures...

We got some pretty good shots, despite the wind!  Thanks,Stacy (Diana's sister)!!

She made us look good! Navy worked, I think.

Here's one of the many...

One more thing....

Hook Em'!!!!!!!!
Yeah...we DID!

Random...

Look at my babies...(5 days shy of 1).

Man, do I love them!!  & how cute are they?!!!

Here's Rex...

 & Ren

 Don't think I've shared that Holt got reading glasses.  He looks studly in them.

 Not sure about this scary face, but isn't this turkey shirt so cute?!!  A friend made it.  She's got a great little embroidery company...Sew It's Yours. (& Mimi bought it...thanks, Mimi!)

Turkey & the Boys...

Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

(Yep, this turkey likes to be petted!  Even on his rubbery blue head!)

 We were thankful for the beating the Cowboys gave the Bills while we watched in the suite.  You know, that yearly tradition we partake in?  Here's the couple we get to hang w/...Rad & Stephanie...really fun couple.  Already looking forward to the next one.  Maybe next time we'll go to a Dallas Stars game too!

Thanks for keeping the kids, Mimi & Big!

What's up...

 Holt got a special bible for being a big first grader, at our church.  It's really cool and explains the stories in kid language.

 An undefeated season ended w/ a loss at the bowl game.  But, the warriors played hard and we had fun!!

 Holt & one of his proud coaches!

 Trophy!

My Tiny is GOOD at soccer!  Seriously!  It's so fun to watch and I'm so happy she's athletic (unlike her mommy!).

 Butterfly farm...

 Hockey game w/ just daddy...& "Julie" of course!

 Although it appears that Adly has developed really saggy breasts, there's a baby under there!  It was a bouncing baby boy!  Hilarious!!

 & they even had a baptism!  Seriously, she did this all on her own.  She asked for a bowl of water and set it all up.  Then she brought over a chair and asked that I sit and watch.  Precious!

 Julie needed a little holy water too!

That's what's up...

I have more, but that's enough for now.  On to checking blogs that update more often...



Beautiful Fairy"tale" tea party!

Seriously, the most beautiful party we've been to!!  It was like a fairytale.  My friend, Brandie pulled it off all herself (w/ a little help from her man).  It was sooo beautiful!  These pics hardly do it justice...

The set up...just right for a fairy turning 5!

 Make up was done...

fairy houses crafted...

 Scavenger hunt, fairy style...

 Pixie dust necklaces around their necks! (That's the birthday girl, Luciana, to the right of Adly.)

 Uh, yeah...she made the tutus, headpieces and wings!  Sewed these beautiful wings...which now adorn Adly's bedroom door.

 Tea fit for fairies...

 In came the dirty boys...they were pretty good though.

 Sweet M family!  Love them all...

 Happy 5th birthday, Luciana!  We love you!

Thanks for sharing your gorgeous day w/ us!

October Birthdays!...

Our Biggin' had a birthday!  We celebrated w/ family, pizza & cupcakes.

We love our Biggin (can you tell how much he loves us?)!!

 Happy Birthday, Biggin!

 Massimo had a Lego Ninjago party!  It was awesome!  All the boys (& a couple girls), were turned into ninjas.  Massimo is a master Lego-man. 

Happy 7th, buddy!

(look at those cute, skinny boy bodies!)

 These two have been best friends since they were 2.  It's precious!

 Even though they go to separate schools, it's always like no time has passed.  They go right back to where they left off.  I love their friendship.

Happy October birthday to 2 very special people!  Glad we could share it w you.
