Soccer anyone?

Scott took this little video earlier this fall during Jay's soccer season. Watch to the end.. hee hee.

Happy Birthday Andrew!

Andrew turned 2 on Thursday, November 4! We celebrated with a family outing to Chuck E. Cheese and then with cake and presents at home. He had a great time and loved all his gifts! Andrew was such a good baby!!! Hopefully he won't live up to the "Terrible Two" mantra... !!! It's so fun to see how much he has changed.
Here's little Andrew when he was born.... it was election day!
and here he is at 1 year old...

... and now at 2!!! He loved his little car cakes - a big hit!

and he ate them! unlike his older brother.

Father and son...

Ellie gave Andrew a baby doll since he loves playing with Ellie so much! He loves his new baby!

but... Andrew is a boy and loves playing games with Dad .

but most of all, Andrew wants to be 4, like his older brother Jay. Love to all!!

Trick or Treat

I just had to share this pic Scott toke of our little pirate and clown off trick or treating. It melted my heart watching them hold hands... in the beginning - then Jay ran off leaving Andrew in his dust.

October 2010

October has been a busy month full of helpful family visitors, fall fun, and Halloween festivities! First, my sister, Mary, came to visit with her son, Bill, for a whole week! We all made it out one afternoon to a pumpkin patch not far from our home. The boys loved riding the ponies and roaming around the pumpkins. Then, PatsyMom and PapaDoc came back to help out while Scott was away for an extended business trip. The boys were spoiled once again with trips to the Chattahoochee Nature Center and another pumpkin patch. This past week we entertained Jim and Donna Marcille - aka: Pops and Mimi. They were a big help with the boys, carving pumpkins, handing out candy, and allowing Scott and I to attend both the boys' preschool parties. Whew! We couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to see so many family members in 1 month! Enjoy the pics! More of Ellie to come soon - we can't believe she is already 1 month+. Time flies...

October 2, 2010 - the Colorado Buffalos beat the Georgia Bulldogs in Boulder! It was a great football game, Colorado 29, Georgia 27 - go Buffs!

Billy boy!

Jay weighing in less than most of the pumpkins on site! ha!

Scott, Jay, Andrew, Bill and Mary - don't let this pic fool you - it was hotter than it looks and very crowded - we didn't stay too long. Ellie and I went too - our first outing as a family of 5 + 1 aunt and 1 cousin.

Halloween Night -my little ghouls!

Andrew is ready to join the circus! This little clown costume once belonged to a little 2 year old Martha, hand made by PatsyMom. Jay wore it 2 years ago and I can't wait to see Ellie in it too!

Argghh Maty! Halloween night, we started out with a pre-party in the cul-de-sac and then Scott and Pops walked around with Jay and Andrew. When they made it back home, Jay's bucket was overflowing with candy and he declared, "Daddy, we won!" Jay may not like the candy, but he's a competitor. This is also a vintage costume, belonging once to my brother, Will. There are some modern enhancements, the hat, vest with parrot, and sash. The parrot is from the swing Ellie sits in - just pinned on! hee hee Pops, Mimi, Ellie, Andrew, Scott, and Jay
