Harvest Bash 2008

Here are some pictures we took right before our Harvest Party. We had Ariel and Kit Kittredge with us. (Noah decided he is too old to dress up and he was himself) There were lots of fun games. Noah got a hole in one at the golfing game! There was a scavenger hunt that Noah really wanted to finish bad. He even danced a little jig in one room to get his paper stamped! The girls had lots of fun, too.

We love the Fall

Noah is 10 years old!!!!!

It's been a long time since Jason and I have been 10 years old, but we are relearning that it is a time for change. Noah celebrated his birthday with 2 parties this year, one with family and one with friends. At his family party he was surrounded by girls(except for his baby cousin Jesse), so it was great for him to have several boys his age come to a second party. He had so much fun at each one! It's so hard to believe he is 10 years old already. He decided that he may even be too old to dress up this year. Noah loves reading, soccer and playing webkinz. He is such a blessing and we thank God for him!

The Wiggles Live show

We were blessed with tickets from our friends to go last night to see the Wiggles Live. Our own little Dorthy the Dinosaur had a blast! She was singing and dancing throughout the whole show. She didn't want it to be over. That's actually why she looks a little sad in the one picture. With popcorn, pop, the Wiggles singing live...she was having the time of her life! Thanks Andy, Elizabeth & Anna Jayne!

Weekend at Grandma & PapPap's in PA

Noah & Abbey spent the week in PA with their grandparents and cousins last week. They had so much fun. Here are some pictures from the weekend when we picked them up. Hannah got to drive the Barbie jeep and really loved that!

Summer fun

Happy adoption day Hannah!

A few weeks ago, we celebrated Hannah's adoption day with her. She is really starting to understand more now and we made a book with pictures for her showing her our trip to China. It was a lot of fun and we are so thankful for our kids. They are gifts from God.

Happy Birthday America!

Girl's night out... Mommy, Abbey & Kit

On Thursday night, Abbey and I went to see the new American Girl movie Kit Kittredge. It was a really cute movie. We went out to dinner and then to the movies. We had so much fun together. Hannah was a little sad that she couldn't tag along, but Jason took her and Noah out to play at the playland and they had a great time with Daddy.

Hannah's Dora Birthday Party

We had so much fun celebrating Hannah's birthday. She really did love every minute of it. Last Sunday morning when she woke up, she asked us "where did my birthday go?"

The Birthday Girl.....

Hannah turned 3 years old today. She is certainly enjoying the birthday attention she's been getting all day. Happy Birthday Hannah! We love you.

Memorial Day Fun

A Soccer & Dance Finale (all meshed into 1 weekend!)

Soccer and Dance finished up this weekend. Noah had soccer tournaments on Saturday and Sunday. He scored a goal on Sunday and Jason(who is one of the coaches) went in a dunk tank. I wasn't there to see, but Jason said it was really cold.(wish I had pictures of that!) Abbey danced 2 recitals on Sunday. She did an amazing job. We are so proud of both of them!

Hide the makeup/ Samantha comes home

This is what happens when you leave the lipstick in a drawer Hannah can reach. Hannah loves putting it on, maybe a little too much! Abbey's American Girl doll, Samantha, had to go to the American Girl doll hospital(did you even know there was such a place?) to get her leg put back on. She is doing well now and Abbey is very happy to have her home. It was a long 2 weeks for Abbey!
