Soren's First Bonfire

Light Up Eustis

Eustis kicked off the Christmas season with lights, rides and games. Ander was too tired to go, so I put him down to sleep and got some Soren and Mommy time. We had a blast!










This is Soren is a crocodile jump castle.















Soren won a rocket ship after a fishing game. He was so excited! He kept launching it all night...3 ,2 ,1 blast off!



















Here were some of the many lights.


















Soren loved his rocket so much he fell asleep with it.

More play doh creations.
He also just documented his papa's trip to Florida. Pictures to come...

Cute clips

Ander loves playing ball with Maggie.



There are a few words Soren likes to say certain a way, even though he can pronounce them correctly when I ask him to repeat them slowly after me. I love how he says mashed potatoes.

Todd's Wedding

He is so happy he's crying.













Yay! Congrats Todd and Heather! I love him and my new sister.

































There was a great band and I had fun dancing the night away.

Jungle Zone

Angela found a great place to take the kids in Tavares. It had giant indoor jumpcastles and slides.












I hadn't laughed that much for a really long time. Thanks Ang.



























Soren had a blast with his cousins.

Halloween 2009

Soren wanted to be a tiger, but when we got the costume in the mail it was too small, so I got creative at the last second and put together a bug catcher costume.

















Ander's costume has to be the cutest costume I've ever seen. Loved it!













Perfect for a crawler.














I was a sexy kitty.



















We are a happy family. Pretty sunset huh?

More Halloween 2009

They love playing together.
















Ander enjoying his first taste of ice cream from Aunt Sherry.



















Hiss!



















I came out and saw Ander with vampire teeth in his mouth and I couldn't resist taking a picture.

















Soren had fun passing out candy after he went trick or treating.

Soren sayings

About Ander: "I just want to smile and make him happy."

"Mommy don't be mad at grandma, she's my friend."

"Aunt Donna sure is a nice girl."

We did it, we did it, we did it...hurray!

Ander started pulling himself up about a week ago. He's also saying momma, but I haven't been able to get it on video yet.
























Soren mastering the tricycle he got for his birthday.

The Life of a Child

One hundred years from now,
it will not matter
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in
How much money I had in the bank
Nor what my clothes looked like,
But the world may be a little better
because I was important in
the life of a child.

Soren wanted a Chuck E Cheese party
