HALLOWEEN 2011

This year's Halloween Day & Night was GORGEOUS! Perfect Fall weather! William was Harry Potter and trick or treated with his friend Mira Seppi. Audrey was Ginny Weasely and she trick or treated with her friend Sofia Seppi. Isaac was supposed to be Voldamort, but he really disliked the costume so he went as Isaac, the boy who dresses in black. Austin went as a Blues Brother, and he and Isaac trick or treated together. Mom stayed home and passed out candy....it was another great Halloween with WAY too much candy! :)

Dad turns 42! We're pretty REAL about our age around here....Oct 2011

We took Dad out to dinner at Dewey's Pizza for his Birthday. And Mom made pumpkin pie for the "birthday cake," we like to give the best Dad ever what he likes! :)

Isaac turns 9 & earns his WOLF BADGE --Sept 2011

Isaac wanted an Ipod Touch for his Birthday and got it! (Note: He had to earn most of the money for it, but Mom & Dad filled in the rest with Birthday money.) Its not pictured here, but its amazing what kids these days can do with computers and electronic devices!! We had a family birthday dinner at a chinese restaurant because Isaac's favorite meal is General Tsaos chicken. And Dad made the cake, OF COURSE! :)




And here is Isaac with Mom & Dad at the Pack Mtg where he earned his Wolf Badge. WAY 2 GO Isaac!!

More Summer Stuff.....2011

When we first moved to Ohio we became friends with the Fillmore family who lived right around the corner. However, they had to move away for a few years for P&G and we missed them! BUT now they are back! Here is William with Alyssa & Drew Fillmore playing playdo...are these kids CUTE or what?




And I just HAD to post this pic of William. This picture just says who William IS through and through. The reason this pic was taken, is because William won a wallet at a festival and told his Dad that he needed a drivers liscense for his wallet or his wallet wouldn't really be a wallet. So Dad took his picture and somehow found a place on the internet to make William his very own pretend driver's liscense! It made William a VERY happy boy. Except now he thinks he needs a cell phone too.... :)

William starts SCHOOL!! August 2011

REALLY hard to believe that my BABY started school! I was playin it cool on the first day as we waited for the bus together. He was SOOOO excited...not afraid at all. Then the bus actually came, and I thought that was the point he might get a little nervous and want his Mom...but NOOOOOO! He kissed me goodbye and said, with a very happy voice and with a skip in his step..."See ya Mom! Have a great day!" Then Mom turned around and walked home with tears streaming down her face...:)
He only goes half day, so Mom doesn't miss him too much. In fact, she is learning to enjoy a few hours all to herself with the laundry and dirty toilet seats! lol!
Here is the first day of school!

4th of July--Summer 2011

Our good friends and neighbors (live around the corner), the Meschoulams, invited us over for the 4th of July. We hung out and talked, ate Leon's awesome BBQ, and set off fireworks in their culdesac. Then we went home and sat in our driveway and watched the best neighborhood fireworks display we have ever seen!! It was an AWESOME July 4th!! Here are some pics to document it...
William with all the lil un's....:)

Older kids eating and being goofy...


ALL the kids and the Dads played a LONG and FUN game of soccer...
