Pizza Night!






Today was the last day of the first week of school. But, since Tropical Storm Fay has been over Central Florida for the past four days we have only had school three days this week. Since going out for pizza was not an option we decided to make our own pizza at home. Of course, TJ wanted to help. He is my "helper" in the kitchen. I think he may be a chef someday - or at least his wife will thank me for teaching him to cook!!! He has a stool he uses and EVERY TIME I get in the kitchen he says "mommy, let me go get my stool and I can help you"! I am so blessed - it is hard to find good help these days! Anyway, Fay had knocked out Granny's power so she was over and Gram was bored so she came over too. Both grandmothers were here for pizza night and we really had a great time. I know we will do it again soon.

First Day School Through the Years!

First Day of School 2005 - TJ was 9 months old.
First Day of School 2006 - TJ was 21 months old.
First Day of School 2007 - TJ was 2 1/2 and Tyler was 9 months old.
TJ's first day of Preschool 2007 - TJ was 2 1/2 years old.
First Day of School 2008 - TJ is 3 1/2 and Tyler is 21 months old.


I wanted to see how much the boys have changed since last year. I started taking pictures of the first day of school when TJ was a baby. I guess I forgot to let Chuck be part of the picture in 2006. I can't believe how much Tyler has changed since last year. My boys are really growing up fast.

First Day of School!





Today is the first day of school for Chuck and TJ. Chuck is teaching fourth grade again this year and TJ will be in a PK-3 class that meets on Mon., Wed. and Fri. each week. Tyler will stay home with me at least one more year. TJ met his teacher last Friday and "cried" for me while I was at the parent orientation. Today he walked right in like he owned the place and immediately started playing! I guess he is still a little unpredictable. That is one of the GREAT things about preschoolers. You NEVER know what they are going to do!

Olivia's Fancy Nancy Birthday Party!




We got ALL FANCY for cousin Olivia's Fancy Nancy birthday party. As you can see only the girls were interested in Uncle Chuck reading Fancy Nancy. I had tried to get the boys to listen but they were not going to sit still to listen to a "Fancy" story.
The party was a lot of fun and it was so cute to see the boys all dressed up. Tyler pulled off the "spiked" hair look so well I may try it in the future!!!

The rest of Summer Vacation!


My wonderful husband has spent the last three weeks of his summer vacation working for ME (and my mom)! We rearranged three of the four bedrooms in our house. We put the boys in the same room, made a playroom for them (YEAH!) and an office for me (DOUBLE YEAH!!). AND -he redid my mom's back porch. I think he was ready to go back to work so he could get some rest. He did manage to find some time to read to the boys and enjoy them!! Overall we had a great summer and we are looking forward to the school year that is ahead of us.
