~OCTOBER/NOVEMBER~

2 very busy months!! Basketball started for Lincoln, with his Dad as his coach! They are doing great so far! Lincoln absolutely loves it and is improving so much! He played against his cousin Keenan in this game. This is the two of them standing by each other. They gave each other a few extra bumps and elbows during the game! We spent Thanksgiving with my brother Lincoln, his wife Ruth and their little boy Eddison! We are so glad they are here and loved spending a holiday with them!! It was very relaxing and we were all full and happy!!

This is the neighbor hood post-trick or treating trade! They all sort through their candy and decide what they want to give to each other.. it's quite the process! It started raining while they were out so there were a lot of wet kids!!

This is Cleopatra and Mr. skeleton........

The old man turned 40 in November.... getting so old!! We celebrated with the kids and then took a trip to NYC with friends. Lots of shopping, food and sleeping in!! Looking forward to Christmas now........

~FALL~

Louie in his favorite spot! He loves sitting here waiting for some food! He has been known to snatch a plate out of the dishwasher and lick it clean! Columbus day trip to Brownsberry patch!!

Addy just started lacrosse this year. I still dont understand what is going on in the games, but I think she finally gets it!

These two are trouble in the tub!!!

Linc is just finishing up "fall" ball. His last game is this Saturday- Temp is supposed to be 38 degrees!!!

MORE VACATION....

Sea world.... Spence and the flamingo's.....

Italian boogie boarder........

Still no front teeth... and no sign of them anywhere!!

ahhhh the beach.........

SEEMS LIKE MONTHS AGO......

I am going to put a little more effort into updating my blog!! Here are some highlights of our trip out west. I am missing everyone and wishing I was waking up to the ocean instead of the school bus! Demps is the reason for this picture. Look at that cheese!!!

ahhhh the ocean.....

Relaxing... catching grasshoppers and of course EATING!!!

BUSY.....BUSY.....BUSY.....

Spring has been a blurr! Here is a small review....
Our boy Louie turned 10 and is now past his doctor's prediction of 6 to 9 months to live. He's 10 lbs over weight and loving life! Live strong Louie! The twins has their last day of preschool last week. They loved school and were always happy to be there!! We had to dress them in different shirts so their teachers could tell them apart!

We have been so busy that one afternoon Jack fell asleep at the table with his hand in his water. Even when it spilled he kept sleeping!!!

Look at these handsome boys! This is their favorite spot in the morning because the sun is shining and it is always warm by the window!

My biggest boy turned 9 in April. He had a great party at village sports. We got to play every sport that he likes. He also picked dinner at the dinosaur bbq... yummy! He is a great boy and is always happy!!! He is getting soo tall I think he will pass me by quickly! We love you Linc! Looking forward to school ending, vacation in Utah and California, and relaxing!

~WE SURVIVED 4 YEARS~

Well I guess we made it! Looking back It's a blur, but some highlights are: Climbing out of cribs, stripping nude at nap time, pouring hot chocolate all over couches, biting the living hell out of each other, climbing in bed and falling asleep together, painting everything with finger nail polish, taking a permanent marker to Izzy's walls, climbing every counter top and closet in the house, peeing together at the same time in the same potty, and the list goes on and on........ I wouldn't change a thing about these two handsome little devils!!!!

When we started talking about birthday cakes this is what they came up with...

A cow for Jack...

Spencer wanted a lemur!!! A few weeks ago in the car he said to me "Mommy I wish I was a lemur." So precious!!

Here are the smiley boys! Looking forward to whatever age 4 may bring!!!

~REMISSION~

We are finally done with chemo for our pooch!!!!! We have been going every 3 weeks since September!!! Louie is in remission, and acting like a puppy again. He's still enjoying his NO dog food diet of chicken, beef, rice, ricotta and cottage cheese. A long with his multi vitamin!!! He has been spoiled. We love him soo much. He is a big part of our family. Our new theme is "LIVE STRONG LOUIE"! Now we just need to get shirts and bracelets made!! Hoping to keep that cancer out of his body and enjoy him in our family even longer!
