Nothing like a broken nose to ruin your day...

Broken nose courtesy of a flying baseball during a game a few weeks ago. Tyler has since had outpatient nose surgery and is doing fine.

Madeline has her first dance recital this Saturday. She is very excited.

Side note: There are 29 dances on Saturday and her's is 3rd to the last.

Our first summer excursion, Cosmic Cave.

Save money. Live better.

Thank you Wal-Mart for the free Taylor Swift and Lifehouse concert. Madeline enjoyed her first concert, and the people around us enjoyed their first Madeline concert. My ear is recovering nicely from the shrieks of my very happy little girl.

"cause our song is the slamming screen door, sneaking out late, tapping on his window...

Madeline celebrated her 5th birthday in April with a party at Jump Zone. Her mom forgot her camera so there are not any pictures from the party. And since her Aunt Shannon who has a digital camera REFUSES to put them on the computer and insteads gets all her pictures developed old school style I have none to share here.

Happy 7th Birthday Tyler!

Happy 7th Birthday TYLER!

Snow Days!

The kids have enjoyed many visits from their cousins.

Aunt Shannon was "helping" "teach" ice skating...

Madeline has watched the "Ice Princess" on TIVO 1 million times. And here she is practicing to be the next Ice Princess.

Well, well, well. What has happend since August?

Tyler lost his 1st tooth on 12/22/07.

1st day of 1st grade:

No tears. No fears for my 1st grader. He was all too happy to be going back to school today.

He did say at home he wished there were one more week of vacation.

Side note: Another 1st for today was my first eye roll from the T-man.

At 6?! I am getting the eye roll at 6?!
