Some More Of Our Weekend

There are a couple of pics, with Caleb and Maggie playing in his room on Saturday. I also had to get a shot of my beautiful anniversary flowers.( My favorite color is yellow.) I can't believe a year has already gone by. I'm very lucky to have met and married such a wonderful and caring human being. He is one of a kind!
What a beautiful day on Sunday. We did what we could to stay outside and enjoyed every minute of it:-) We played baseball, soccer, rode scooters, played ball with the dog. Alyssa came over to play too, until the two of us went off to the movies. We saw The Blind Side. What a great movie!

Another Visit To The Bounce Zone

Thanksgiving At The Russells

More Old Photos

Alyssa's 21st Birthday

We went to Margarita's to celebrate, but I couldn't find my camera. It was too dark in there for my IPhone camera, so we got some pictures before and after. Alyssa loved her gifts and had a good night with her family.

Maggie Loves Her Georgie

Building With Daddy And Grampie

We visited Grammie and Grampie on Sunday. Grammie brought out the blocks and the boys started building. Of course Caleb couldn't wait to break it down. They got it pretty tall.

Check out the sneakers. I bought these sneakers, because they were on clearance and so cheap. The thing is they are two sizes too big! I figured I 'd put them away and he'd grow into them. Oh no, he saw them and wears them every time he's here. I thought for sure he'd fall and break his neck, he insists they're fine and they're cool and they make him run really fast. How can I argue with that?

I know it's a little early for Christmas elves, but this is so funny, I couldn't resist. Enjoy our little family dance.

Old Pictures

I am just learning how easy it is to scan old pictures. So, here are some of my girls before digital cameras or at least until I had one. Here are Ashley and Alyssa in about 89 or early 90.

Michelle Marie at the Tripp camp, when she first got her Cubby. And with them is Sophie, Cubby's sister. This is my Dad's dog(and Alyssa's).
Ashley and I posing together, before going to a friend's wedding. She is only in Jr. High in this picture!

Alyssa's Graduation 2007. Ashley came home from Florida for her sister's graduation.(I can't get this one to rotate:-(, sorry!) I think she's been home once since then.Even since this picture Michelle has grown a few inches, she's taller than Alyssa and me. This one is of my brother Chris and Alyssa.Ashley's Graduation in 2004. WOW!!!
This is my sister's wedding, July 2006. It's a rarity to get the three girls and I all in one photo. They've changed so much over the past couple of years. And my beautiful little sister, the blushing bride.

Jumping In The Leaves

He looks like a lefty with that bat. He is a great hitter:-)

Nothing more fun than jumping in a pile of leaves on a beautiful fall day!

Maggie and Caleb at the Park

What a gorgeous day for the first of November. I got to spend it outside with my two favorite people. We walked to the park, well Caleb didn't, he rode the new found scooter. Everything Caleb did Maggie did. She chased him everywhere and did everything he did. On this swing, on that swing, up the slide, down the slide. Once she caught up, he'd start again. All of a sudden Caleb noticed the tennis courts were empty, so I said, "Let's go run around in there." Caleb wondered where all the tennis balls were. We told him you have to bring your own. Once again he ran she chased him and they laughed together.

Caleb Tries The Scooter

I had forgotten we had scooters in the basement from when the girls were younger. Caleb saw them and had to try it. You can lower the handles, so I adjusted it to him and he did pretty well. He rode it off and on for most of the day. What a beautiful day it was!!

The Fun After Trick Or Treating

After we came back from trick or treating, we stayed at Abby and Kirk's for awhile. We ate and then the kids played together. Cole has this Jump-a-lene thing downstairs and they had a ball running and jumping into that.
