Day out with Thomas the tank engine 2008!

We spent this weekend at a train museum visiting with Thomas the Tank Engine... Emmett had a ball and Erin made the most of it... a little old for that stuff now but she was a good sport.

Cocoa Beach Florida 2008

Cocoa Beach Florida 2008... All the kids became surfer-dudes and dudettes!
and Emmie found a new love... chocolate doughnuts... MMMMmmmmm

Emmett got to start Kindergarden (a little early) when he turned 3 a few weeks ago... This is his first day waiting for the school-bus to come with "his girl" as he calls her!
Big boy was very brave and really liked going to big-boy school.
Here is cute one of Erin.. she loves to create "looks" by using weird combinations of dresses and pants!
We had our basic concrete patio spruced-up a little with some pavers and walls..

This was day 1...

This was the finished product...
and this
and this...

We really like it..

Happy Birthday YouZ

Some bad singing, but cute kids!

Birthdays 2008

We hosted the kids birthdays (a joint party... a party together not a pot-fest or party with lots of roast beef!)
The girls (and Emmett... who currently says he's a girl)
And the boys... yes Emmett joined the boys... almost!
Cup-cakes (buns for the Irish viewers!)
and face-painting.




Then home for a nice foot-soak... AAAHHhhhhh
