Soccer


Here's a picture of my 2 soccer stars. To be honest I didn't think Syd had it in her to be good at sports because she hates getting "sweaty" and Shelby is the sporty one, that kid is good at every sport she plays but soccer is her love! But I coach Syd's soccer team and she is tough, its like shes playing football out there the way she runs over players on the other team but that must come from having an older brother cause she is a fighter! We are all a little scared of her! Jeff and I always say she's like Joy on that show My Name Is Earl. And she is such a true blond and she knows it. She will mess up or say something ditsy and then say "Oh my gosh I'm so blond"

Dance Class

Gigi is old enough for dance class now so I started her last week. She cried & cried in class and Shelby stayed in class to help the teacher & Gigi still cried and did not lift a leg to do any moves! It drove me nuts watching through the glass window at the only kid in class crying.....MINE! She has been telling me for a year now that she wants to do dance class and now she is old enough and shes crying for the whole hour! So yesterday was dance class again so I put her dance stuff out for her to wear all day and I told her to get dressed but she said "no, I don't want to go to dance class" So I ignored her & let her sit in her jammies all day and finally at 1:00 she came down stairs with her dance stuff on....YES, I win! So at 4 we go to dance and she says "I want Shelby to take me in" Oh no here we go again. So I tell Shelby to just push her into the room and run! (I know great parenting skills) So I waited a few minutes then stood up to look through the glass window at her and sure enough that little brat was doing every single dance move the teacher did and she was exact too she did each move perfectly & with a big smile on her face the whole time! I almost fell over dead! She was the best dancer in the class which I knew she would be good because she copies Shelb & Syd when they practice their dance steps. But she so had me fooled I almost didn't take her but now I'm so glad I did because she is so good at it and she really does like it. She even said "mommy I want to go to dance class again"

Gig and her quad


Gig just loves her new quad she got for her birthday. She has been asking for a quad since she was 2. She would look through Shelby's quad magazines and say "mommy I want that!" So finally she got one and of course the riding gear to go with it which is a little big on her but it works!

So now she has her own like Michael & Shelby even if it is just a power wheels one!

Gigi's Party













We had Gigi's birthday party on Sunday even though her birthday isn't until the 19th. But for her party we turned our backyard into a pumpkin patch and Jeff made a carmel apple stand and a face painting stand. The kids all had fun with decorating the carmel apples.


Gigi's love for pumpkins is how we came up with the theme. I bought her a pumpkin from Walmart and she carries it around and pushes it in a stroller like a baby. When we were in walmart she looked at me and said "mommy my pumpkins name is Coco" She even "feeds" it at dinner time. She has been crazy for pumpkins since she was a year old.
