This is what can happen with "helpers" in the kitchen. Not a big deal... we learned to be more patient, take our time, clean up our messes and try again. I think it was a good lesson for everyone involved.

Camping Birthday
Here are the pictures from Baby Girl's 8th Camping Birthday.
It was simple. I'm happy with what we did. I have found ways to improve (such a teacher... always).
However, my baby girl was HAPPY!

Birthday Boy
It's time to celebrate Joe... it's his birthday! As much as he doesn't need or want a bunch of attention, it's still his special day!
Tonight we will celebrate with a Mexican fiesta with some friends and the kids. It should be a nice evening... just the way he likes it.
I've watched him over the last year go through many ups (Maui, work success, kid success, etc. and downs (the death of his mother, work stress, kid stress, etc)... you know the routine. But through all of it, he somehow manages to keep it all together.
Wishing you a very happy birthday... I love you!

Back to School
It's hard to believe that summer is over and the kids have headed back to school. We have a 6th grader, 4th grader and 2nd grader in our home now. Boy does time flies... it just seems like yesterday that they each started Kindergarten.

Countdown to School
The kids are headed back to school is 2 days and counting.
As we prepare for the big day (hair cuts, supplies, nerves, etc) I wonder ... did we slow down and enjoy our summer? Did we spend time together? Did we get to just "be"?
I don't know that we slowed down... it seems that life is always a bit hectic around here.
We did spend time together... Maui, soccer fields, driving to many soccer tournaments, swimming, etc.
I think I would have prefered more time at home to just be... I certainly know my yard would too.
The comment I heard last night was, "I think I'm ready to go back... it will be fun." I guess that means we've done well with our summer fun. Now, to make it through the first day jitters!
