Pat's at the top of the hill....

Last Sunday, we celebrated Uncle Pat's 49th birthday!

He is at the top of the hill and has a year to enjoy it before he goes over it!!!

Ella and Sammie....

Sammie was WORN OUT by the end of the day!

The guys....

The Dunn family....

Happy Birthday Pat!!

My favorite guys!

And then, out came the nerf gun! I am not sure who was having more fun....Logan or Suz

Suz blindfolded waiting for the attack.....looks like a bad episode of '24'....Help me Jack Bauer!

ATTACK!!!

The 2011 Cupcakes!!!

The 'shoe' process was a bit difficult this year...Paul wanted Ella to have turf shoes, yet Ella still has 'toddler' sized feet.....But, we ended up finding these online and they are super cute!

Coach Paul approved :0)

The first practice was 'rained out' which caused much sadness among the Cupcakes, so the 2nd practice was a frantic effort to get them game ready!

Logan is quite the 'big boy' now....off on his own, playing with his friends and not asking constantly for 'snacks'...that in itself is quite amazing

Learning great control skills

Such a stinker!

Logan and Nolan.....best buddies

Logan and Bradley....best buddies doing their superhero pose!

Ready for the 1st game!

Sweetness!

The girls played well for only having one practice!

It was HOT and the field was much bigger than they were used to!

Getting used to listening for the whistle and having a 'ref'

Ella taking her turn in goal....look at those fire red cheeks!

Ella didn't score a goal the first game, but she was super proud of the fact that she had played tough and tackled the 'big girl' (twice Ella's size) and gotten the ball away from her...

Coach Paul worked alot on fitness the 2nd practice, lots of sprints and running...

The second game was once again HOT (1:30pm)

Go Ella! Go Go Ella!!!

Ella scored her FIRST GOAL within the first couple minutes of the game!

Her smile was adorable (unfortunately I was enjoying the moment and didn't get a photo)

The Cupcakes played tough and even were on the receiving side of some nasty right hooks from a mean little gal on the other team...

Logan spent time with his buddy Nolan....brave Nolan even saved Logan from an ant that was biting his arm and tried to tie his shoe...

Logan is really lucky to have sweet Nolan (age 5) and sweet Bradley (age7) as friends... they are super nice to him and Logan loves every second spent with them

Go Ella....she is one tough little Cupcake!

She worked very hard! Proud of my girl!

Happy Grandparents Day!!!

Sunday was the day and the kiddos spent the morning at one of their most FAVORITE places....Grammie and Papa's house

Ella spent time coloring with her Grams....pure happiness for Ella

Logan spent time with Papa playing LOTS of games!!!
Logan LOVES his Papa!!!

And after a morning of fun, we headed home to skype with Nannie and Muntz and wish them a Happy Day!!!

The kiddos definitely miss them and keep talking about all the fun times they had this summer spending time with them!!!

I am so grateful for the special times my kids get to spend with their grandparents!

They LOVE them so much!!!

the crab

In Ella's class, they use stories about this little crab to help them with handwriting....

This is the 2nd drawing that she brought home of the crab that I LOVE!

How cute is this???

She is such a little artist drawing her crab eating his seeweed...and of course, the extras....seagulls, the sun, water and sand

Each day I can't wait to look in her folder and see what she has done!

While the sister is away.....

.....the Logan will play

this little guy does quite well playing games on the computer!

He LOVES it!

Saying goodbye

After having them here for a month, it was tough for all of us to say goodbye to Nannie and Muntz!

We had a great time while they were here and can't wait for them to come back....next summer !

Here are a couple of photos from lunch that day...

Ella was at school and Nannie somehow avoided the camera, but I got photos of the boys!

Thanks Nannie and Muntz for spoiling us all!

Muntz's Birthday

AUGUST 23rd.....

I know that is a while ago, but my camera had gone missing for a bit...

Thank goodness it was found and I can 'catch up'

The night before the big day, we headed to Firebirds for a nice dinner!

It was YUMMY!

We had a great time!

The next morning, Paul and Muntz were up early for golf...

When they arrived home, the kids, Nannie, and I had decorated the house!

Muntz also got to open his gifts and read his homemade cards

UNO.....from Logan, of course

Muntz was able to watch lots of 'Tom and Jerry' on his visit here, so this was a fitting cake for his special day

Time for cake!!!

He huffed and he puffed....

Muntz with 2 of his favorite people....

Unfortunately, this photographer didn't start snapping photos until cake time, so I missed quite a few of the guests....like my parents and sisters...sorry folks
