Kaitlyns first soccer practice

Kaitlyn had her first soccer practice tonight. She learned how to dribble the ball, trap the ball and kick with the inside of her foot- she did so good- I told her we would go and look for some soccer shorts for next week. She listened to coach allen and had a great time.

Family pasta night 3

So we have made pasta several nights now and this turned out the best- I think we have it down. The kids are really getting into it now- it really has turned out to be something really fun! We wish you were all here to try it!

caleb and the slide

The kids these days fight over who can hold the hose. You would think they would fight over who gets to go down the slide. It is 6pm and still 80 outside. Oh ya it is september 15th and last nights low was 75.

kids playing outside video

We dumped out the sand box because we need new sand. The kids are having fun just being kids outside.

A playdate with Katherine rose

Kaitlyn and Katherine rose are really good friends. She lives a few houses down from us. We only get to see if everyone once in a while because her parents are split. She is a great kid. Today they did everything- They also wore me out. We played outside- rode bikes, did chalk, made cookies, played dress up...... etc. Fun times with 4 year old little girls. Oh ya I also had caleb.. it was a fun day. kids are in bed and it is before 8 pm .

Our kids are our life

This is a random assortment of photos that we have takken the last few days. The one of calebs is a little blurring but you will see why I posted it anyways! Although we have are moments we love our kids very much and are very blessed that they are in our lives.

Kaitlyns first day of school 2008

Our little kaitlyn is getting so big- she went to preschool for her second year. She is going 5 days a week for 3 hours a day. She meet her teacher and a friend that she had in her class from last year, gave me a wave and off she went. Today she is over at a friends house from her class on a play date. where has time gone?

Fishing day 3

We went 24 miles out today and fished for halibut- Hali is what the locals call them. Dad and I caught a nice 43 pound halibut- mom caught a lincod and a small hali- I cant believe the halibut weighs as much as I have lost in weight- I could even lift it up- amazing! It wouldnt even fit in the fish box
They weather and waters are terrible- we stayed in today and had breakfast- we are still having a great time!

Fishing day one

The weather was not good- we were able to not get out until noon and even then not even out into the ocean- we were about to get a few rock fish and crab- weather is better tonight! Wish you all could be here it is beautiful!

Waffle House

Kaitlyn has been so excited to go to the Waffle house since we moved here. Funny thing there is one 1/2 mile from the house and we hadnt been yet. We told her we would go this morning after I ran 10 miles- We get there and she orders a ham and cheese omlet- She ate the whole thing- couldnt believe it- she also ate 1/4 of my waffle and a few bites of toast- of coarse she didnt eat the hashbrowns because she doenst like potatos. Ryan had there famous pecan waffle. We all ate a breakfast for $13.05 and were in and out in just under 45 min. Something to be said for the Waffle house.

Saturday night tennis

Ryan and I ran around the Tennis court and Kaitlyn took photos- These are funny!!! Some good, some bad some just funny. We had a good time and so did the kids.

Ciacada bug in our house

The other night we let sadie out before bed and when we let her back in a ciacada bug got into the house- here is a photo on it on the light- it was gross and loud when Ryan caught it in a cup to put it outside.

Kids outside having fun

This is just a video of the kids outside having fun together this afternoon- It is a nice upper 80 degree day today with a nice cool breeze- very low humidity. We are enjoying it and have been outside most of the day. Sorry if the video is in the wrong direction- This video is taken from our regular digital camera- I cant figure out how to flip it.

Family pasta night continues

We have done pasta night several nights but tonight we made lasanga and kaitlyn made the cottage cheese mixture including cracking the eggs and mixing in the cheese and fresh herbs. We also had moon pies a southern treat-

Honey Comb Candy

I grew up loving this candy- It is a fond memory of my childhood. It is one of those things that just take you back in time. We could only find it at those expense little candy stores like in westport and in canada they have it as a candy bar made by cadbury. I found a recipe on the internet and made it. It was and is wonderful! Here are some photos

Coloring with my big Sis

Kaitlyn and Caleb love to color together. Today kaitlyn brought out markers and color crayons for caleb. It usually last about 5 minutes but it is fun to see them play together.

Kids are fun and so are oreo's

Oreo's are priceless arent they. Here is calebs first oreo and milk dipping.
