Our "Cougal" team won the championship today!

The girls worked hard and Steven and Gary coached like no others! It was a great game and the girls are soooo excited! And me, I'm as proud as I can be!

Anna's Debut Into the Pageant World

Wasn't my baby just absolutley beautiful! The pics aren't the best, but it's what turned out.

2007 Family Pics

My Friend, My Lizard!

First, just look over the attire, I just woke up and fed my dogs. I know I look really attractive. ;)
Graham, I needed you today! I was putting some things up in the garage and this lizard jumped right onto my leg. I walked around slowly for about five minutes, and he didn't even try to get away. I sat down, Steven took pictures, the dogs came up, he flinched, but that was it. He stuck around for about 15 minutes then I turned my leg and told him he could get off. He took his time but scampered down the length of the wood retaining wall. It made my day!!!

Halloween - what fun!

We carved our own pumkins this year. Steven and Mitch-reponsible for the black one eating the baby pumpkin, Anna-the other black scary one, Esa-the devil pumpkin(see the tail?), and mine-the one that looks like an ants head? or maybe a screaming alien?
Anyway, Esa was a Blood and Guts doctor, while Anna was Hannah Montanna. Steven, well he was just a scary dead lady, but he also added on rude, crude and uncouth. ;)

The favorite contest of the night!

Yes, we had the ultimate contest. We got to decide who had the most beautiful smile! We all got awards for this one, how could you just pick one beautiful smile out of these "BOO-tiful girls!

Esa's B'day Slumber Party

Yes, I braved 8 little giggling girls for Esa's slumber party. They had a blast! They had singing contests, crazy hair contest, dance contest, and then my favorite, bobbing for apples! They asked me how to do it. I simply told them I had no idea, I've never done it, just don't drown. I only had one girl to give up! They were alot braver than me!!!

Marisa's 10th B'day

We went to Kanomi's Japanese Restaurant Thursday night for her 10th birthday. We all enjoyed ourselves. Not one of us caught the shrimp when they tried to ring our mouth! We blamed it on the guy throwing the shrimp! ;) The picture of the kids is good, but I think Steven and I should have stayed in our seats! Anyways, my baby girl is double digits now!!!!

Gulf Shores 2007

We had a great time at the beach. If only we could have stayed longer.

We took friends and family to the Greek Festival. We all enjoyed the wonderful food. The kids had a really good time dancing on the stage. They tried to keep up with everybody. Those dances are upbeat, you really have to be in shape. I chose not to dance, I didn't want to out dance my kids! Go ahead, you can laugh. Idid!

Girls Day Out at the Pumpkin Patch

We did go to The Great Pumpkin Patch with Jenn, Matt, Belle and Graham. The ride down was just girls, and a car full it was! We sang at the top of our lungs, took pictures, and video (all with the camera phone of course). I do have videos of the girls doing the bungee jump (JR.) They turned flips and flew high in the air. I was impressed, I don't think I could of done it myself. I was proud of my babies. One day I'll figure out how to get my video from my phone to the computer!

Clothes

Yes, this is Marisa. I was shocked too. She never lets me buy her clothes this "girly." She told me I couldn't buy her these clothes, she wouldn't wear them to school. She said she would only where them on weekends. She wanted me to take her home to change, because she didn't want "Justin" to see her in this. My baby is growing up!!! I think she looks adorable in this or her typical blue jeans and t-shirt.

Random Pics

We are snapping photos left and right with the camera phone. I finally uploaded all images off my phone. I hope everyone is proud of me!

My Angel

This is one of our dogs, Angel. She is soooo special I feed her from a fork - she has better table manners than some kids I know!

Anna can never get enough Momma

Just a few misc. pics of the family and some friends

Just a few pics - All of the racing gang
Mitch,and the long hair (which is now cut)
Racing pic - 3 legged race (we had serious
arguements between Anna and Audrey,
they couldn't get it together. Instead
They played the BLAME game)
Steven working- he built us a great book
shelf for all the tons of books we have.

Markham Drive Olympics

Cassidy (in the chair) got injured on the first race. So, we have no pics of the sack races. Everybody had a blast though, she even started the races for the rest of them. Maybe next time they'll listen when I say "race in the grass"!

Just For Girls!

The girls had a great time at Justice. They enjoyed having fun with make-up, headphones, sunglasses, whatever made them cool for the party. It was a blast -can't you tell with their version of "Charlie's Angels"

My Hubby and his chill time at the computer

He tries to take a break while dinner is cooking. Yes, Steven is the cook in our home. NOT that I can't cook, he just loves to, so I let him. I do the laundry.

Hair

Mitchell loves his hair. I can never see his eyes, but he likes it for now (and so do all the girls). It is actually longer now. I just don't understand. Steven lets him keep it long becuase he says his mom always made him keep his hair short.

Two beautiful baby girls and two night and day personalities.

Our new bird Pete

Memom got scared when a neighbor called her at work and said her bird, "Amos", was in her back yard. She rushed home to find out it wasn't her bird. She did, however, find Pete. He flew right onto her hand and started drinking her tea out of the glass. She fed him, gave him water, and tried to find out if he had an owner. No luck! Our family got to keep the bird. He is great, but we have to get his wings clipped, he flies to me anytime I leave the room. He says lots of things, like Roll Tide, No!, Stop it!, Come on, and Good bird. He can be a bad bird too. He bites every now and then, and it hurts!

The great Pumpkin Patch

There are a few pictures of lots of family and friends. They had a wonderful time, but the adults were tired and the kids were filthy! It was worth it.
