Cheese, Mommy!!!!

Ryanne and I were out and about this morning. I whipped out my camera to take a picture of something I found and immediately I heard: "Cheese, Mommy! Cheese!!!!!!" She loves to have her picture taken and I am more than happy to take it.

If you can't find Ryanne...

But you hear her, make sure to check behind the kids bathroom door.

She will have taken the bag out of the box of cheese nips and her sippy cup into the bathroom for a quiet snack break.

My mom will love the fact that she is sitting right up against the door. This way the door cannot be fully opened up. (Something Ryanne's mommy used to do when she was little.)

You think so?

Brennan: I'm not going to college?

Me: Oh Really? What are you going to do then?

Brennan: Sit and watch TV.

Front Yard Trees

I love the trees in our front yard. They are great at shading the house and giving us a little bit of privacy from some of the neighbors. I like watching the leaves change color, but at the same time I know that the leaves will be falling and my trees will be bare for way too long.

Spoiled Morocco

Crazy Busy!

Cheerleading and Volleyball are winding down for the season. Jadyn has had a great time doing both. She has a game later today and then the Classic is in a couple of weeks and will be the last day of the season. She has also started practice for the school play. They meet 3 days a week right after school for a couple of hours. The performance will be in December.

Taryn has her next sleep deprived EEG scheduled. She's been seizure free for 3 years now. All she needs to get off her meds is a normal sleep deprived EEG ON meds and then another normal sleep deprived EEG OFF meds. My fingers are crossed that this will be our year. I can't imagine walking into the dr's office and being told the 2nd test was abnormal again.

Brennan is doing well is 1st grade. His reading is getting better and he's able to sound out his words and put them all together without much help. He was having quite the time being able to sound out each letter, but when it came to putting them all together it just wasn't working for him. His teacher is great and we couldn't have asked for a better one for him. He keeps us laughing from one minute to the next with his antics.

Karis is in preschool 5 mornings a week. She's learning by leaps and bounds and is more than ready for Kindergarten. That darn late birthday really put a crimp in everything for her. =) There are days that she'll come home and tell ME what the teachers forgot to do that day. This girl really likes her regular schedule.

Ryanne is rotten.....She's still a sweet and adorable little girl, but oh my goodness is she giving Kolin and I a run for our money. We just keep reminding outselves that she's 2....just 2.

Kolin and I are doing great! Today is our 12th Anniversary! =) We get to spend it just as we did last year....at a football game watching Jadyn cheer. Except this year we will NOT be picking up another puppy to add to our household.

Doesn't every little girl

need her own dune buggy?
