Fall Leaves

2008-11-18T17:05:00.000-08:00

Playing in the leaves at Kyle's parents...too bad it was so cold and
they couldn't play very long..what a great time. Here are some snapshots.

Happy Halloween

2008-11-18T16:56:00.000-08:00

Here are some photo's from Halloween night. Madison was a candy corn witch and Cameron was a Tennessee football player. I told him he needed to wear a zoro mask under his helmet so he would be unidentified!!!

Did I mention that Kyle dressed up as cousin Eddie from the Griswold Christmas Vacation movie!! It was too funny!!!

Captain Cameron is 3!!!

2008-07-11T06:59:00.000-07:00

Cameron wanted to have a pirate birthday party this year. So for the first time I made his cake....I guess it turned out pretty good for my first one like this. Cameron loved it! Here are a few photos from the day.

Once again, we took our family vacation at Pensacola Beach, Fl. We just love the area.The kids had such a great time. While vacationing, Madison began swimming!! They're justgrowing way to fast!!

2008 Ballet Recital

2008-06-01T17:56:00.000-07:00

This year the recital theme was the Wizard of Oz and Old School Hollywood.All the girls really enjoyed this. Madison's favorite, of course, was the tap dance to Hannah Montana, Best of Both Worlds. Here are a few pics from the afternoon.

The Phillies take the Field!

2008-05-08T17:05:00.000-07:00

Cameron's t-ball team, The Phillies, were able to
go on the field during the national anthem for the Chattanooga Lookouts.
Cameron wanted to go to the pitcher's mound but settled for third
base. We had a great time even though we were rained out in the 4th inning.

It's T-Ball Time!!

2008-04-13T10:02:00.000-07:00

Go Phillies!!!! All I have heard for months is "I want to be on a
team", so we have signed Cameron up for t-ball. He is playing on the Phillies team. He was so excited about all the equipment, but a little shy when it actually comes to playing.
We have discovered though, that he plays all sports "left-handed".

Easter

2008-04-13T09:54:00.000-07:00

The kids enjoyed all the Easter festivities this year. I was really surprised at how into the egg hunting Cameron was. He hasn't really showed much interest before. Here are a few photos from the day. My little babies are getting soo big. Time just goes by to quickly!!

Jump Rope for Heart!!!

2008-03-09T16:33:00.001-07:00

Westview Elementary, Madison's school, teamed up with the American Heart Assoc. for Jump Rope for Heart. Each student took donations and learned about the different heart diseases that many people have. Then on the last day of the month, went to the gym and actually jumped rope for 1 hour.

Madison's good friend, Lindsey Boehm, passed away in November of 2006 with heart disease. She was only 5 years old. We miss Lindsey very much and this was a wonderful way for Madison to remember her. She was so excited when she came home from school with the information. That afternoon, Madison told me that she wanted to jump rope in memory of her friend, Lindsey.

At the end of the month, Madison had recv'd $540 in donations to the AHA. We are sooo PROUD of her!!! We hope that her donations will help in the research to save someone else.

Here are a few pictures of Madison jumping in memory of her friend, Lindsey Grace Boehm.

The last picture in the slide show is one of Madison and Lindsey in April of 2006.
