Like Father Like Son....

David had the wonderful opportunity of not only golfing with his dad and his uncle Michael a few weeks ago, but he got to golf at the Kierland. For those of you who don't know, that is a big deal!! It is a gorgeous resort golf course that charges an arm and a leg for a tee time. You can see by the picture that David is missing his arm, I am pretty sure it was worth it:) He had a terrific time and is looking forward to more golf outings with the "guys".

Seriously??

So, I was watching TV and had just eatten a great hamburger and hotdog (grilled by my fab hubby) and I had caving for some of Joelle's fruit snacks. The empty paper plate and empty wrapper were sitting on the TV tray next to me. Joelle walked in the room all smiles, and then she spots the familiar wrapper. She very seriously walks over to me, never taking her eyes off the evidence, and says, "What is going on here?"

Marvelous Megan

The pitching and batting machine is at it again! Megan pitched a winning game and had a real nice single to get on base in the last inning. The team was down by 3 runs going in to the last at bats. They sure didn't disappoint us! They ended up winning the game by 1 run. It was their first win this season and it was sweet, especially since Megan was the winning pitcher!

TouchDown David

David's football season has begun. This year instead of playing quarter back, he is playing tight end and doing very well due to height and size. He has been scoring at least 2 touchdowns in every game. At the game this weekend, the other team put in a player to just guard David. It was pretty cool! Once he gets the ball he is unstoppable. Just see for yourself!

Eggs Baby

David has to care for an egg. An assignment for his LCC class (Living Skills I am assuming) required that he blow out an egg, decorate it like a "baby" and bring it to class each day. As you can see, everyone wanted in on the fun! They had fun decorating their eggs with finger nail polish. David's egg ended up looking a lot more grown up, but it was a fun way to spend an evening-full of giggles and bets as to how long David would actually keep his egg alive! David's egg is on the left and Megan's is on the right. You guessed it, Joelle was not able to keep her "baby" alive long enough to paint it!

Ohhhhh, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!

One recent night some friends came to play. Reggie came to play with Daddy and Mason and KiKi came to play with Joelle. The girls were just so excited to hang out! They broke out the pretty princess dresses and showed us how they could dance. They got out lots of books and Joelle read her Dora book to KiKi. They really enjoyed making up the story. They colored and colored and colored some more. They even played princess with Joelle's castle. When it was way past bedtime, KiKi had to leave. Joelle was so bummed that she wouldn't even say goodbye! Needless to say, I got so much of enjoyment out of Joelle being old to "play" with a friend. She is growing up so fast and I can't figure out where all the time went.

Carseat Mischief

My "wonderful"child Joelle has discovered that she is able to undo the buckles of her car seat. Not just the ones on the top, but the hard one at the bottom. I am not sure how she does it. I was not even aware that she could do it until driving to her daycare one day. As I approached a stop light I put on the breaks and stopped. When I stopped, I felt something hit the back of the driver's seat and when I looked in my little "Joelle" mirror, she was climbing BACK into her seat and sniffling. She completely undid her car seat and fell into my seat in the process! Then she had the nerve to tell me that it was my fault that she fell out of the seat. The scariest part was the fact that I was in the middle lane of traffic right by the freeway- no where to pull over and MAKE her put her buckles back on if she chose not to. Thank goodness she was scared enough by falling into the driver seat that she got back in that car seat and buckled in a hurry! I have a feeling that there will many times that this could be repeated. It might be sign of things to come.
