Last weekend included a Nana visit, a football game, Zoe's first USA swim meet, and then Grandma Linda was here by Tuesday.  YAY!! I'm not the greatest video photographer, but you get the idea.

Zoe's friends tatted her up, her shoulder says, "Eat my Bubbles."

Well, it has been a long time since I added anything on here, but we were looking back last night and it might not be a bad idea to bring the blog back.  The birthday festivities are still kicking around here, Quinn will have his party on Thursday with his friends and Zoe last night.  Fall break is in full effect so I will try to add a few updates.  Take care!

Happy Birthday, T-Bone

Hope you have an AMAZING BIRTHDAY!!!!  Our wish for you, is that your grill looks like this.  Pretty sure it will. Enjoy your day!  WE LOVE YOU!!!!

It has been a long time. I finally figuring out the new cameras and computer.  First video is of Quinn's game last week.  Second one doesn't work, but couldn't figure out how to delete it. A few other pictures from xmas. That is Abby with Zoe, our newest family member.  I am hoping to get more post out soon.

A little fishing

These are some photos from our trip to Frisco over the 4th.  We found this little fishing hole on the way, and stopped at Montgomery Reservoir on the they way home.  Caught fish on each stop. :) 

Oh, and our first veges out of the garden. 

Champs

Todd often says I should never doubt him (haha), and happily I will admit he was right about the Ironbirds having an undefeated season. Monday night they won the championship 1-0 and we actually have video of Quinn hitting a triple that scored the winning run (that is not me screaming.) And no team is complete without a solid set of cheerleaders.  They have been doing cheers on a soccer field nearby and there was one performance behind the dugout. Still can't be sure if they ever saw two plays in a row in 19 games, but they have spirit!  Last week some of you heard there were two nights of horrible storms. The last picture is some of the hail that we had in our yard.  I think Q still has it in the freezer :).

Can't wait to see you all in the next two weeks!!

Summer begins

We now have a first grader and a third grader.  Hard to believe!  Zoe had a luau themed end of the year celebration and below Quinn is representing his "My Principal is Proud" of me button for reaching his end of the year goal of mastering all his multiplication facts.

Quinn's baseball team completed the regular season undefeated with two ties and they start their tournament today.They have a pretty good team. Kids were catching fly balls in the outfield, throwing people out all over the infield, and Q hit a home run last night. I don't have great video, but this is him pitching a couple weeks ago and some of Zoe's performance. Gotta love kindergarten songs. Yes, they are singing and acting out being a deer and a kitten.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!!

The Great Pumpkin Seed

Gregg- This post is mostly for you.  The seeds have been planted and the race is on.  You will notice Quinn is holding seed #1058 which is possibly the seed that will grant him the victory.  Zoe painted the wall in her studio yesterday and she and Giovanna have been out there for the last hour creating masterpieces.  Needless to say, she loves the art kit. Thanks!!

Party time!

Paige's b-day party was truly divalicious, and the girls were so cute!  Her party was at a salon and the divas in training were pampered by having their hair and nails done, glittery pink dresses and a few runs down the red carpet.

Only had a couple vidoes of Quinn playing BB, so I will have to try to get a few more this weekend because his last game is this Sat.  He is really enjoying basketball, but will be quickly tranistioning his loyalty as baseball will be starting soon. 

Miss you all !

Officially on Stage

Front and Center for "Getting Down With Mama Goose"

 Some of you heard about Zoe's music program last week, and if you didn't it must have only been because you didn't talk to her.  The anticipation was high for her kindergarten debut, and she didn't disappoint. She and her buddy next to her, Karim Fudge, were center stage for the performance and did a wonderful job!  The video in which they appear to be puking, is from the song "Peas, Porridge Hot" where they are showing you that they are not about to eat anything that is 9 days old.
Too cute!

Enjoy!



Cheesin it for the camera!



Awesome concert last night in Zoe's room.  There were a few other acts, but video wasnt available due to the high profile of the performers, Quinn, Mad dog and JP.  Notice the audience on top of the bunk bed.  And yes, Gregg, that is the orange dress.

Halloween Begins.......

A few shots of the Halloween experience so far. Below are the sketches of Zoe's face paint, which we will try out for the first time tonight. We had her break down the plan for everyone and sent the video in an e-mail. All of the ideas are hers, no prompting. School parties were Friday and that is Zoe with her buddy, Dr. Karim Fudge. Quinn's team played in the championship on Sat. and lost their first game of the season. Zoe told him on the way home, "Quinn, it's no big deal because you still got pizza and had fun." More pictures will be coming as we have two more nights to dress up.

The Graduate

Here she is...The days of daydreaming about Graduation are over. She told me she couldn't do her work one day at school because she couldn't stop daydreaming about the big day. We all had a wonderful weekend! Zoe wanted to be sure you could see all the videos. Enjoy!

Ironbirds in the House

I think many of you have already heard that the Ironbirds had a big win on Sat. 2-1 victory in the bottom of the 4th and final inning. Little Quinny Joe had about 6 or 7 stikeouts and was almost as pumped as the coach. :)
Zoe had camping day on Friday, she was also very pumped as we found her downstairs at 6:15 Friday morning getting dressed in this little pink number here. We had a great Mother's Day at the zoo and doing a little hiking. Quinn wanted to share his photography of the grizzly bears playing in water. Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day too!!!

Chocolate Chips on my Cake

A little Easter and birthday fun!! Listen to how CUTE Grant was on his birthday!

Spring Time is here

Yes, it is finally nice out and baseball is in full effect. The Ironbirds won their first game on Saturday, a defensive battle 1-0. Quinn did a little catching, but so far he prefers first and the mound. He wants a piece of the Grasshoppers on this coming Sat., he says the were talking smack at the opening ceremonies, so we will let you know how that goes. Zoe had beach day on Friday and then a b-day party at Chuck- E Cheese, good times at preschool! Looking forward to next weekend to go see everyone for Grant's B-day! Wishing you all a great week!

Iowa Visit

Hi All- Looks like Mommy didn't get the camera out everywhere we went on our trip, but she did get a few good shots. Look how cute Mya is!! We had a great visit with everyone and even though is was a little cold, we did get some time on the Green Hornet. Zoe loves Grandma Linda's tub, as you will see. Thanks again for everything!! We love you!! xoxo Quinn
