Pumpkins!!

Here we are carving pumpkins. It was so fun this year. Sadie (with a little help from mom and dad) carved a skull and bones on her pumpkin. Matt carved some kindof robot face on his, and I went simple and made holes all over mine. We had a great time, and got many complements on our pumpkins Halloween night.

Sadies first day

Here is Sadie ready for her first day of school. You would think it was Christmas the way she woke up this morning. She has been so excited to go back...counting down the days.
She is in second grade and has a bunch of the neighborhood girls in her class.
She is so excited to learn new things, and for homework. She loves homework (hopefully that will still be the case in her high school years.)

We are Alive!

So finally, I have a chance to sit and get some posting done. We have been so busy for the past three weeks. Matt and I had the opportunity to go to France with my Mom and Dad. We visited Paris for four days. We saw everything that we could cram in. We were on the go everyday we were there. Then we drove down to the South of France to meet family I have never met before. The countryside was beautiful and meeting Family was Amazing. It was a trip of a lifetime. Thanks so much Mom and Dad, We love you!! Here are some snippets of the trip.

Here are some photos of the Eiffel Tower that we took.

Here is my Dads cousin Helene, and her mom Collette.
They were so fun and took us around in Toulon and to the family farm house in Grasse, France.
It was beautiful!

The best part of the trip for me was meeting family I never have met before. Here is pictures of my dads cousin Marie Floxel her Husband Marcel, their daughter Emmanuel, and her kids. They were so fun, and so easy to get along with, I felt like I have known them forever.

So Cute


So the cutest thing....the other night I was putting Sadie to bed, we read a story, said her prayers and said goodnight, when she said, " mom you forgot something," I thought to myself what did I forget, then I remembered, she can't go to sleep without the cute bear that her dad gave to her for Valentines Day a couple of years ago. So I picked it up off her dresser and gave it to her. Her day of school, dance, playing, and the couple hundred cartwheels, and round-offs she did wore her right out, not even five minutes after I tucked her in, I went in to check on her and this is what I saw..She was totally zonked out, with the bear on her head, and her arms folded...luckily I had a camera close by and snuck a couple of pictures of it before it fell off...so cute. This is one of the joys of being a Mother!

Good Weather...Finally

Sadie has been dying to ride her motor scooter that Santa gave to her this past Christmas, so the weather finally cooperated with us..it was warm enough that we could stand being outside without turning into a Popsicle. She was a little hesitant at first,but it only took her about five minutes before she was going as fast as she could around our block. I was sitting in my lawn chair watching her..and I soon noticed that she was coming around the corner standing up on it..freaked me out. I quickly put a stop to that...she is little dare-devil. She absolutely loves it..can't get enough. She rides it for hours..until the battery runs out. It is fun to see her have such a good time.. Good Job Santa.



It is actually really fun to ride...I love it too.

Long time, no see

OK so I know that it has been a long long time since I have blogged, but I have a good reason....During the holidays it was just too crazy. So after all the hull-a-baloo, when I finally had a moment to sit down and blog, I went to turn on my computer and it didn't work, I couldn't get it past the login screen. So I tried to fix it, didn't work, Matt tried numerous times to fix it, didn't work...needless to say we went a whole month before Joe, my brother in law, was able to come over and fix it. He is a whiz at computers. Thank you Joe, I was going insane. In the process of fixing the computer somehow we lost some of our pictures from the holidays, so I won't be able to blog those fun pictures...oh well, I will just start with my newest pictures I have taken.



This past week Sadie was the STAR of her class. So Tuesday I made a poster of pictures of Sadie to tell her class about her and the fun things that she likes to do at home. It was fun and Sadie felt special. Then for Friday Sadie was able to choose a ROYAL READER, anyone she wants to read a book to her class, and she chose her dad. It was so cute, the class lined up on either side of the doors, and presented Matt with a ROYAL CROWN, and a ROYAL CAPE, then as he walked the ROYAL CARPET they sang him a welcome song. He then read them a book that Sadie picked out called "Bad dog Marley." Cute Book. The kids loved the book and Sadie loved showing off her Dad.


The kids thought that Matt was hilarious..do you blame them, look at that face!
