A Firefighter and a Dalmation!


Jackson drove his fire engine! It was the perfect costume!!! That is, until he decided he didn't want to drive it anymore!

10.14.08

Barry and I went to The Marriott to celebrate my 10 years (actually, it will be 11 in December!) @ Children's Hospital. My Mom came over and watched the kids for us. I really LOVE my job and I have made some wonderful friends there. You know you love your job when it doesn't even feel like "work"! I love taking care of babies.

Oscar in his ball...

Happy Birthday, Sydney!

She looked so cute in her birthday girl shirt, matching bow and cupcake earrings!

Birthday Party

The party was at Zuma Fun Center.

Yummy cake!

My friend, Nikki, made Sydney's cake. It was precious, a pumpkin patch cake. It tasted even better...as her cakes usually do!

Opening gifts...

Me & Nikki

Race For The Cure 10.11.08



Beth, MeLisa & Nikki before the race! These are some of my best friends from work.

Welcome, Oscar!

Sydney has been asking for a hamster for some time now. I'll have to admit...I want one, too! They are so cute. We went to PetSmart and got him and all of his "accessories" a few days before her birthday. So far, the newness hasn't worn off. She and her brother love watching him and helping feed him.

Leo & Oscar

Oh! How Leo would love to get his chops on poor little Oscar! He just sits and stares at him for hours at a time! Look @ Oscar in his cage (far left) and look at Leo, it's hilarious!

Watching the Vols...


Barry's glasses! Too funny!


September '08

Sydney and Raley, a friend from our street. They love playing together!

Today was Sydney's first day of school and she LOVED it! She will go back next Friday and then she'll start going full time on the 25th. She has been looking forward to this for some time now. I'm not so sure Barry and I were as ready!

Amherst Elementary School



I took Sydney to the school and took some really cute pictures of her. Here are a few of them. I still can't believe she is going to school. Less than two weeks now...

Sydney and GG get their ears pierced!!!


Before...OK, she is NOT so sure about doing this! Look at that lip!

After...


She is LOVING her earrings!

Earrings for Sydney and GG !!!

Jackson's 3rd Birthday!




When we sang "Happy Birthday" to him he would just look down and stick those lips out. It was SO SWEET! He didn't cry or anything. Maybe it embarrassed him...either way, it was precious!

Gotta love those LIPS!!!


Jackson

We had a wonderful time at the beach this year! The only problem...it goes by too fast! We are ALL ready to go back!

Sydney


Too Cute!!!

Sydney's Last Day of Preschool


Today was Sydney's last day of preschool! Her first day of Kindergarten is August 15th (GG's birthday!).

New Play Set!



The kids are REALLY enjoying the new play set we got! We have been spending A LOT of time outside these days.

The babies have arrived!


OK, I know this second picture is a "little scary", but it's rare you get to see a baby bird THIS close! I'll take some more when they get bigger.

Beware of Mama Bird...


"Beware of Mama Bird" That's what the post-it note says on my front door! Would you believe a bird built a nest for her eggs on my FRONT DOOR!

Look How Cute!!


Just my luck! I'm going to have baby birds chirping on my front door! We won't be able to use the door until they are gone because it opens to the inside...what if a bird flies in my house! I can't wait to see the babies!

Jackson's New Bed


I think Sydney is enjoying it as much as Jackson!

Big Boy Bed !!!


With reluctance...we got Jackson a "big boy bed". I've been trying to keep him a baby as long as I can! He LOVES it! He actually stayed in it and didn't get up until the next morning. I'm CERTAIN this won't last though. I'll keep you posted!

Getting ready for Kindergarten!


Tomorrow is "hat day" at preschool. She's wearing the Red Sox cap her Uncle Kris bought her!

Kindergarten round-up! April 1, 2008


Today we registered Sydney for KINDERGARTEN!!! I can't believe it! How time flies...

What a big sister!


Sydney just about has every book memorized! She is "reading" to Jackson. She is such a big help to me when i'm trying to get stuff done around the house. She really entertains her brother. I'm VERY lucky, I know!
