Liam eating a cereal bar after the Confirmation

 

Those crazy girls!!!

 

Lisa and Amanda...DRIVING!

 

It is still so strange to see my "baby" cousin Lisa driving! William and I used to babysit these kiddos!

The family photo!

 

Lisa and Amanda

 

Here is a picture of both of my cousins. Lisa and Amanda. I still can't believe how much they have grown! I feel so old because we have photos of me and William holding each of them in the hospital after they were born! We were dating that long ago!

Amanda

 

My cousin Amanda made her Confirmation last Sunday. It was such a great day! My mom was in town, so she was able to go also. After church, we took photos and we all met for lunch at Sweet Mesquite.

Liam, the Warrior!

 

Liam got a hold of a portion of Logan's Halloween costume. I'm so glad it is plastic! By the way, he is looking at something to stab with his weapon...the something ended up being me! No biggie, but when Logan went to the Ren-fest w/ his Aunt and Uncle this weekend, we insructed them not to let him purchase any weapons...apparently his little bro knows how to use them!

Logan...soccer star!

 

Watch out Posh! I have the number 1 soccer star! Nana and John took Logan to his soccer game this weekend. They won!!! FYI...Logan also scored his first goal of the season! Off to a great start! That David Beckham guy better watch out. :)

Logan's Boy Scout Camp-Out!

 

A week ago, Wiliam and Logan did another Boy Scout camp-out. They had a blast! When Liam gets a little older, we'll join the boys!

Liam in a box!

 

Logan VS Jalepeno!

 

Logan won! He eats jalepenos now...crazy kiddo!

Oops, I forgot to give the update on the cat trap...

When we woke up, all our papers were in order. Nothing on the ground or on the stairs! I guess the trap worked. Unfortunately, William forgot to plug the camera in so we have only one hour filmed. We may try to set the camera up again tonight to see if we can catch her! I'll keep everyone posted! :)

Cat-astrophe waiting to happen!

 

One of our cats has been very bad lately! Sock has a problem with jumping on our kitchen counter (which is a big no-no in our house!) Not only does she jump on the counter, she gets into our mail-holder and scatters any paper in the holder (or near it) throughout our house. She has lost money, receipts, checks, bills, our Sea World tickets one time, outgoing mail, and many other items. We wake up every morning, and spend a good 15-20 minutes walking through the house picking up paper. It finally got out of control, so I did a little research online.

Apparently, we should roll scotch tape up and stick it all around the item she is not supposed to be near. (check!) Cats do not like to step in sticky things, and SHOULD immediately retreat. We set our cat-trap, I placed a blank piece of printer paper that I cut up to entice her, and yes, we have our new camera set to record the act tonight!

Check for updates tomorrow if we are able to catch the act, it should be entertaining!

Wish us luck!!!

Trust me!!!

 

I ran across this tonight. Believe it or not, Liam is on his 2nd haircut, and he is only one years old. He is about 2 months old in this photo, and notice he is probably only the size of my face (preemie!) Trust me, his little hair just keeps growing! Very entertaining!

Another!

 

Another :)

 

I warned everyone, I am posting every picture of these guys!

 

Another shot of my favorite kiddos!

 

I love these kiddos!!!

 

Sorry, but I will post many duplicates of this photo. This is Logan, Liam, my cousin Amanda, my cousin Lisa, my nephew Alex, and my niece Jessica. These kiddos mean everything to me!!! As a matter of fact, I could not decide which photo I liked best so I am posting all of them! I am sure (Aunt Lori/Nana) will appreciate it. :)

Logan and his ice cream...it's ok, it's his birthday!

 

My cousins Lisa and Amanda hanging out with Liam.

 

My cousin Amanda makig sure Liam is not left out!

 

Logan's egg-toss...before it got ugly!

 

Logan's 11th Birthday Party!!!

Logan turns 11 on October 20th. I can't believe it!!! William and Logan are camping on his actual birthday weekend for Boyscouts, so we had a small party at home the weekend before. We gave Logan the XBox 360, along with the new Halo game. (FYI, I know nothing about this stuff, I was pulling for the Wii!)

He was very happy, and the party was a success! This is a photo of the egg-toss that turned bad...I think all the kids ended up pegging eggs at eachother and went home with a little bit of good-ole raw-egg funk!

1 year old Liam's 2nd haircut!

 

I think Liam is the only 1 year old I know that just had his 2nd haircut! It just keeps growing! This time, he was not as happy and had to sit on my lap while William and Logan got their hair cut. Gross, hair was everywhere!

FYI...does anyone know how to make the wee-ones actually sleep? He mastered the sippy cup, he does solid food as long as we feed it to him on a spoon, but he wakes up all night! He does not like touching food, but he will eat as long as we feed it to him.

He's getting there!

We love our boys!

 

Seriously, how did I raise Logan without another Loagn? Logan hung out with his little brother while I cooked dinner. Everyone needs a Logan-he's not for sale!!!

Total Blast From The Past!

 

William and I decided to gradually clean almost 12 years of clutter room-by-room. We discovered this photo in the kitchen somewhere and I love it for so many reasons. My Mom (as always) looks absolutely beautiful! The wee-ones are my cousins who live about 10 minutes away in Sugar Land.

Those kiddos are such great kids. Lisa is actually driving, and babysitting for us next Saturday! William is coaching Logan's Soccer team and I am in classes all day. Lisa is coming over and watching Liam while we are gone. I still can not believe how much they have grown! FYI, they are both such great kids, we go to the same church as they do and I am so proud of them!
