Birthday Fun

This was my 30th birthday and Calvin went above and beyond to make sure I had a birthday to remember! 3 of my friends showed up at my house at 8am on October 30. They let me know that we were heading to Chicago compliments of my hubby! Then shortly after that he arrived home with 30 orange roses with my spending money attached to them:) Here are some of our pics from our trip.

We were exhausted and delirious by this point. We sure had some good laughs though!

Kind of dark but you can see we did our share of shopping!

My huge birthday dessert! 4 of us couldn't even come close to finishing this!

Having a good ol' time!

Halloween

Here are a few pics from Halloween night. We all had alot of fun. Little did I know that I was coming home to a surprise 30th birthday party. I will post more pics later!!

Mya got the hand of Trick of Treating real fast!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!

It's official!

Well, just in case you didn't notice it in the last post, we are expecting our 3rd baby on May 26, 2010. Here are our 1st pics to show off!

St. Augustine, FL

Calvin and I just got back from a little getaway. We hadn't been away from the kids since before Mya was born. We went to St. Augustine, FL. We didn't know much about it other than there was a beach there, it was the oldest city, and we got cheap tickets....which was a good start for us. We had a really good time. My parents came and stayed with the kids so we didn't have to worry about them but I did call home every day. These are a few of our highlights. We would have a few more but our camera wasn't cooperating at the beginning of the trip. As you will see, we perfected the self portrait since we were alone. HA! The Old Light House (taken from a boat ride around the city)
A dolphin, this was as good as I could get.

Some of the pretty old buildings

There 83 million dollar bridge project (that is enought to make you sick)

The old jail, built in the 1800's (pretty from the outside but still a jail inside)

Calvin always makes a friend.....no matter where he goes

Just in case you hadn't heard, we didn't go completely alone!!

Labor Day Weekend

We had a fun filled family weekend this past weekend! We all met in Indiana for my Dad's 60th birthday. We also celebrated my Mom's birthday. We spent the last day at the children's museum. There are several pics. Hope you enjoy! The whole gang

Enjoying Nate and Neti's Sweet Corn

The other day, I got some sweet corn from Nate and Neti's garden! I brought it home and my kids just couldn't get enough. That is all Ayden wanted to eat. There was one piece left over, so I let Ayden have it the next night at supper. He got full and I thought I was going to get to eat it but little Miss Mya disagreed. I did end up getting a few bites after all.

First Day of School!

Ayden started school on Tuesday. He was so excited. He has been talking about it since last year when we picked his friend Paxton up from there. He absolutely loved it. He came home telling us all about it. He went to music class, and played outside, and even went pee on the little poddy! I can't wait for many more stories to come. Let's hope he always stays this excited about school! My big boy!
Dropping him off!

Evie!
