Daddy with the Snow Bunnies

Morgan and Zoe just love playing wit their daddy.

Zoe's 1st Time In The Snow

Zoe and Morgan went out this morning to a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. This was Zoe's first time to play in the snow. She only stayed out for a short time but she loved it. Morgan and Joe are still out playing in the snow. I think we will have a snowman by lunch time.

12 days of Christmas

Morgan's school play was Tuesday night. She was one of the 9 Ladies Dancing.

More Ho Ho Ho

This weekend we had Santa stop by Grandma & Grandpa's house. Morgan, Zoe, Colton, Grace, Raegan and Scout all stopped by to see Santa. Some of them liked him and others didn't.

One Year and Six Days

One year and six days is what separates my brother and me. He of course is older. . . We got together with Mom and Dad and Melanies family to celebrate this last Sunday. We had a great time as always. Great food and spirits. Thanks to everyone for the great time and gifts.

Zoe in the Leaves

Zoe got to play in the leaves too. She wasn't as excited about it as Morgan.

Big Eats

Today Zoe got to eat at the table with everyone instead of the Highchair. It went very well. She is really making a lot of progress.

Fish Lips

Oh My

Today Joe and Morgan spent the afternoon outside. He took this shot of Morgan, there are many others. This is one that I liked of her a lot!

Girls Basketball

Last night Morgan had her first basketball game. What fun!

The Witches of Bristol Drive

Morgan and Zoe were both Witches this year for Halloween. We have kind of developed a bit of a tradition on Halloween. We start from our house and trick or treat our way down to my parents house. Zoe and I hang out there having supper while Morgan and Joe continue through the rest of the neighborhood. They didn't make it to much longer than us. Morgan decided she was ready to come in and eat. As you can see below they still made quite the haul with the candy. We hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween!

Trick or TREATS

Zoe was very excited with all the loot they got.

More Fall Photos

Fall Photos

Today was Joe's first Sunday off in a long time. He starts back to Monday-Friday work week. We went to Church then stopped by a park and had my dad (aka. Paw Paw) stop by and take a couple of shots of us together.

Rollers

Zoe in Pink rollers. . . we shall see what happens. Her hair is soooo fine. I thought we might try it tonight. She won't be sleeping in them. We will take them out and see what we get. Now if I did this to Morgan her hair would still be wet in the morning.

Colton's 12th Birthday

We celebrated with Colton this weekend when he turned 12. The girls just love to run around with him.

Riding Lacey

This past weekend we celebrated Colton's 12th birthday. This is his mom's horse Lacey. The girls just love going for a ride with Uncle Mike.

Grandma with the girls

Taking fall photos is sooo much fun. This weekend I took my sisters girls out to the pumpkin patch. I had my mom watch my girls and then bring them at the tail end to attempt a group shot. . . . ha ha ha.

Pumpkin Patch

Our girls at the Apple Barn. This is our 7th year heading there. I recomend the fudge this year.

Stikes for Tykes

Vickie helps Zoe. Morgan does it on her own.

Saturday Oct. 6th was a fundraiser for CMN. We put together a team with some of the finest bowlers in the Springfield community. Holding the team together would take a strong captain and we chose Billy Williams. The team, On the lap from left to right:Kenna, Zoe, Standing next to them Casey. Back row was Morgan and Malena. They bowled an awesome game.

St Anges Family Dance

Friday night was a Family dance at Morgan's school. We had lots of fun. I was in charge of the photo booth for the dance. Morgan spent most of the night running around with her friends and dancing. Joe brought Zoe when he got off of work. She had fun dancing to the music too.

SHG Poms Camp

Today Morgan went to Pom Pom Camp at Sacred Heart Griffen. Tonight she did her routine at the SHG pre-game show. She had a great day at camp.

The Big Drink. YEAH!!!!

Zoe wanted a drink out of my glass tonight so I decided to give her a sippy cup that I had just gotten the weekend before at a Run.
And she drinks half of the glass. YEAH!!!!! We are very excited at this accomplishment. She has been drinking out of a milk carton at school, I think that has helped.

Dirt Bug

Morgan played in the dirt tonight while Joe and Ron were building our Shed.

Crazy Outfits

Morgan has always had a nack for picking out the crazy getup. I would call this an Elton John special.

The Thinking Chair

The Thinking Chair. Today at school Zoe got to spend some time in the thinking chair. She didn't want to go with the class and put on her brakes. When the teacher picked her up to put her with the rest of the class she wouldn't put her feet down to stand. She just kept them drawn up to her chest. She has quite the strong legs and will. Today the teacher decided it was time to nip that in the but. After 2-3 minutes in the chair she didn't give the teacher any more grief.

Grandma turns 60

Today my mom turned sixty. What a great time we had. We had some of her friends over and we had food and drinks. Some of the best times are trying to get the one good shot of Grandma and her 4 girls. This is almost impossible and always a challenge. But worth it when you get the good one. HAPPY Birthday Mom, Love,
