Go Pack!

Also had to share this gem! Love the shoes Maddie!

Minnie Lover

We still love Minnie - can you tell?! Here is Madison showing off her Minnie Mouse PJs (courtesy of Jamma Farley), her Minnie Mouse Bow (courtesy of the Devines), and her lovie, her Minnie Mouse Doll. Once I get more energy, her room will be Minnie Mouse also. She is also sporting her new Cars Blanket (courtesy of the Heminks), which she must take to DayCare to sleep with, just like at home for naps. She also keeps a Minnie at school for security. What a riot!

Tyler Soccer Spring 07

Go Predators! Tyler was on his first soccer team this spring. Tyler had a hard time getting used to not touching the ball with his hands at first. His first game, he even saw a ball in a neighboring field and went after that ball instead of his own! Also, it was a challenge to teach him which goal was his, and he even scored a goal against his own team. We cheered just the same! He came to love soccer though. Almost every game he scored goals - which was his favorite part. In one game he even scored 3 goals!

The kids would have practice for the first 20 minutes and then a game, every Saturday morning. It's hilarious watching 4 year olds on the field. Some weeks they would all be playing really rough and the next they would be staring at the clouds, playing with their shorts, and picking their noses! Tyler really had fun and by the end of the season, was able to stop the ball, turn it around and run it down the field. Next step - passing the ball to a team mate!

Magic Easter Seeds - April 07

This year, Joel got his hands on some very special, magical Easter Seeds. Joel and the kids spread them out the night before Easter, watered them and when we all awoke Sunday morning, they grew into Lollipops! We had a wonderful Easter, but missed you all dearly.

Dress Up Fun April 07

You know how Tyler loves to dress up? Well, Maddies getting in the groove too! Here Ty is in his power rangers costume and Maddie is in her Fairytopia costume. Can you tell we have fun at our house?!

Careful-Maddie's Taking to the Streets!

For Maddie's birthday, we saved some presents and opened them up the following week. One of her favorite presents, from Papa and Grandma Pepper, was her new bike. She loves it and always makes sure to wear her helmet!
