Soccer Star! Go Justin!

The Soccer season is over. But Justin sure had a fun season. Here he is with his trophy. And some highlights below.

Happy Birthday Justin and mom at grandmas!

Here are Justin, Nicole and Brandon at Grandma and Grandpas celebrating the birthdays for September and October. Mom made a yummy dinner, then we had presents and cake. It was fun and exciting. It was Amy and my sis Shannons birthday too. They just aren't in the pic. Happy Birthday everyone!

Justin and mom, Justin being silly!

Happy 8 Years Rob!

October 4 2008
Happy 8 years Rob. My cute, adorable, amazing, hard working, intelligent, loving, sweet, never stopping, honorable, determined, happy, courageous, terrific, fun, outgoing, etc etc.....husband. I can't believe how fast the last eight years have gone. We have had some wonderful times together and it's amazing how much more I love him every day. Rob is so devoted to me and our family and works so hard for all of us. I am so proud and happy he is part of my life. I look forward to so many more amazing years (eternity) together! Amazing where we have come in the last eight years. Bachelor degrees, Grad School, 2 accounting firms, 3 kids, 2 appartments, 2 homes, and so many fun trips and good times together. Just imagine what more we will do!!! I am so excited for our future together. Thanks Rob, I love you! best of all we had a sitter (Robs parents thanks for watching the kiddos) and went to dinner and a movie Indiana Jones . (It feels like forever that the two of us have been on a date together and especially a movie, which was really good too and only a dollar each score)! Happy Anniversary Rob, thanks for a fun night out!

Rob is made a Manager!

October 2, 2008

What an awesome day for Rob and our family. I had to congratulate my wonderful husband on a great achievement. Today Rob was made a Manager at his CPA firm. This is such a big accomplishment and we are all so proud of him and all his hard work (becoming manager is comparable to being made a junior partner at a law firm for anyone that may not know what this means). He has worked so hard for his company and definately deserves this. We had a little celebration for him when he got home. Below are some of the pictures of this fun day! Good job dear we love you! Keep up the good work!

The sign the kids and I made!

Rob with the brownies we made him, lot's of sprinkles and frosting just like he likes!

Robs new office with windows and everything! looks nice Dear! Yeah!

The family went to Cold Stone for ice-cream to celebrate! Yummy! (We also celebrated Justin's birthday too, since he get's a free ice-cream for his birthday)!

Sillyism for Justin!

So Tuesday I took the kids up to Rob's work because Rick the Managing partner in the firm is retiring. I am good friends with his daughter and know him pretty well so I thought I would go and congratulate him. On our drive downtown I was explaining to the kids that he is retiring like grandpa and we are going to go and congratulate him. A few minutes later Justin says to me "so mom does that mean I can tell him congratulations on EXPIRING" I just couldn't help but laugh the rest of the way there and I tried to reassure him that no he isn't expiring but REtiring. I told Rick the story when we saw him and he thought it was really cute. Silly boy the best is that they are so innocent and serious.

Dancin Girl!!

September 24, 2008

Today was Katie's first day of dance ever. I was a little nervous how she would do in an actual studio with a teacher, since she loves to dance around our house but never anything official! She was so great and really loved it. All I can say is that little 3 year olds are adorable to watch dance! And she goes to my neighbors studio who is so cute with the kids too. She is in a ballet/tap class and is doing so great!

I love this shot, she is doing a turn and looks so sweet!

Twirling!

Dancing accross the floor! T-O (arms out T) (turn on O)!

Katie doing her trick for the crowd...a somersault.. I guess she thinks gymnastics and dance are all inclusive?

Leaps! Tiffany has so many cute ideas here they are leaping over the doll but without hitting her leg and making her fall down. It was so cute.

She has the kids lay down and pretend to be asleep then she taps them on the back with a wand then that person taps another child. It was so cute and the kids love it.

Here they are in their tap shoes practicing their dance for the recital. It was so adorable!!!!

Katie posing for me in her cute outfit!

Good luck Katie and keep dancing!
