Evan and T-Ball

For those of you who don't know what Evan's favorite color is it's PINK. Well as any worried parents of a boy what do you do? You go and sign him up for t-ball!! We did ask him before if he would like to play baseball like Zach and Cody and he said yes. Well when I came home and told him I signed him up to play he said and I quote "I don't like baseball". You know it just wouldn't have been Evan if he didn't say that. I just love that little shit. We don't know when practice starts but I will keep you posted. Cross your fingers and pray that he likes it! Oh, and another quote from my other little shit Morgan (about Evan liking pink)......"Mommy, I don't want a brother-in-law". Am I doing something wrong?

Todd got a New Job!!

Todd started his new job at Kemira on Wednesday and is loving it. The really good part is his office is only about 5 miles from where I work. He went from about a 1 hr and 45 minute commute to a 30 min. commute. If he needed some sort of sign to see if he made the right decision to change jobs, on his first day there 285 was completely shut down. For those of you who don't know, that is the way he would have taken to UPS. Oh, and the $$$ isn't to bad either :) The other thing is that we can meet for lunch now and he can actually make it to the kid's after school activities. He is so much happier and I am so proud of him!

Morgan's New Look

Did I mention Morgan got her hair cut? Well she did and here she is! It didn't take much convincing her. I just said it would make her look older and it's always neat going back to school after a long break with a new look.

The Crime Scene

Here is the famous fountain! I wanted to get a picture before the girls got into everything but everyone but one girl showed up early. What is so hard to understand 7pm. Not 6:30! Needless to say they stood there like vultures waiting for me to put everything out. By the looks of it I think the junk food was a success. Oh, and I also made pigs in the blanket just to clarify that they had some type of real food....hehe!

Slumber Party

All I can say is that it took the adults all night to put a dent a the chocolate fondue fountain and it took the girls about an hour. I think they all had a great time and some of the girls never went to sleep. Actually everyone is still here and I think I'm going to go and blow my brains out any second!!!! What was I thinking? I thought as the girls got older things would be easier but I was way off on that one. I can't wait till everyone goes home so I can go to bed. I'm so tired :(

The Little Gym

Morgan's last day at the Little Gym. She has been going there for about 2 years and learned her basic skills and now she is moving on to something bigger and better. Hopefully she will learn some new stuff at her new gym.

And to all a good night.....

Evan is so ready to go home. I bet he was the hardest working 4 year old opening presents around the world. When we got home he told Todd to take his shoes and socks off and to get his jamas. He was out before his head hit the pillow.

What's for Dinner????

This one is for Jeni! Mom cooked a great dinner as usual. Well she did the ham, scalloped potatoes, slaw, and green beans but I bought the rest of the sides at Honey Baked Ham with a gift certificate that work gave me. Pretty good stuff for being store bought. But hey, you all know I have no problems what so ever buying my meals.

OMG - This is Morgan in five or six years!!

This if Crystal, my cousin Zach's girlfriend. She is so just so sweet. She came over to Mom's with Cathy and the boys and we all just had a great time. Sweet girl is just all I can say about her. Oh, and Evan really likes her too.

Pretty in Pink

It's official! For all of you who knows that Morgan could not stand the color pink she has now stated she LIKES it! I am so happy to say she did not got one thing blue this year and was just tickled everytime she opened something and it was pink. Well she did get a Nintendo DS that was blue but I don't think that counts:) My pretty little girl in pink...

Look Mommy I got a Car!

Evan was having a great time at Mom's house opening up his gifts. I think Santa thought Evan lived there too:)

Todd's Favorite Present of All Time!!!!!

This is what Todd's parents got him for Christmas. Needless to say Todd was overjoyed and I think he even got tears in his eyes when he opened it.....hehe!

Just what I wanted!!

This is one of Evan's new tracks he got this Christmas. One of four. Todd swears he had this same one last year but I think it is a little different. His other one did not have the road going around it. We did remember why we didn't like it though, the damn thing kept coming apart. So as all parents would do, we got the super glue out and glued the entire thing. Problem solved and Evan loves his new "garage".

Christmas Morning

Morgan had a great Christmas! I couldn't tell you how many times she said said call 911 because I'm having a heart attack! I think over all she was very pleased with Santa's work

"Big City Man"

Evan played till he dropped today! Todd and Evan have been playing some game on the computer together for the last two weeks. I don't know the real name of the game but Evan calls it "Big City Man". It is some game where they drive a car around blowing up things. I'm such a great mom- hehe! As soon as Todd walks in the door at night Evan is pulling him down stairs saying over and over "big city man, big city man daddy. What good bonding time. Cars and explosions, what could two boys ask for :)

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Here is our christmas tree which I just notice we forgot to put the top on it it. Crap! The topper is sitting on the table next to the tree. Evan likes to play with it because it is Santa. I figured it wasn't worth the fight to take it away from him. You know Evan......

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the Way......

Morgan had a Vocalier performance tonight at Barnes and Noble. They sang Christmas carols in a big group up on stage and then they all separated into smaller groups and sang all over the store. What a sight. This performance was a practice run for the real thing at the middle school around Christmas. She was in rare form because we got there early (what a shocker) so we decided to have a latte while we waited. I couldn't help but stare at her at how she is becoming such a little lady as we drank our coffee and discussed if she should tuck her jeans in her new furry boots or leave them out. What a fun night! Oh yeah, we left Evan at home :)

On our way to see the Hokies Play

We had to drop Lizzie off for a sleep over at Nicole's and Gracie's house while we went to Bluefield over Thanksgiving weekend. We had a great time seeing our beloved Hokies play and kick UNC's butt even though it was freezing. Todd and I decided our blood is way to thin now to take that kind of weather. Evan fell asleep during the 1st quarter waiting for Daddy to bring him back a caramel apple but woke up during half time. Morgan did great, as usual. The kids were real troopers and Lizzie was happy to see her boy Monday night when we all got home. A big thanks to Aunt Nicole and cousin Gracie for taking care of our Lizzie.

10th Annv. Party (August 12, 2005)

Group picture from our annv. party. Jeni and Dean really out did themselves for this one.

I did it!

Well I finally created this blog to keep everyone, who's interested, updated about the kids, the pets, and us. Please be patient while I figure this whole thing out. If you know me it will take awhile. Keep checking back. Oh, Jeni and Dean you know I will be asking tons of questions.
