September Highlights

Erick and I were married September 13th. This year we celebrated 10 years together. Unfortunately, Erick was unable to be home for our anniversary, so I celebrated with some good friends:


In the picture, left to right are Gwen, Tanja, me, Pam, Deanna, and Brittany. We went to lunch at one of my favorite places, Hotel Böhm. Their salads are delicious!




After lunch, we walked across the street for some ice cream. Yum!





David wasn't going to share:






Look Dad! No training wheels. Three of my kids can officially bike without any assistance whatsoever. It is such a good place to be... for now:










This is Sharon. I met her once last year, and we immediately hit it off. This month she received a prestigious volunteer award. She is a great example of service. Glad to know you Sharon:





After Sharon's award ceremony, I spent some time with some wonderful ladies. This is me with Carrie, Kelly, and Brittany. I know them all through fun FRG stuff. The glass in front of me is not mine. Ha ha. I had a soda:






We attended Keeli's first birthday party. We had a great time. This picture of David and Keeli was my favorite of the day. David got beat up by a girl. Actually, he was just being overly sensitive, but it was pretty funny. Thanks for the invite Hannah! 






Remember all of those goals I set last April? I worked on number four this month. Display my photographs. I framed and mounted a collage of pictures onto my wall. It's fun to look at all the fun places we have visited in the last two years:






This month, TJ went in for his immunizations. He really loved the firetruck hospital bed. TJ was super brave. He sat still and waited patiently for the nurse. After he received the shots, he looked absolutely betrayed. "That really hurt," he sobbed with tears streaming down his face. It was enough to break my heart:






This month, Bailey received a Super Star award for good behavior at her elementary school. I am so blessed to have such happy, good, smart kids. Love you Bailey!

Such adorable kids! I'm glad you have such a wonderful FRG. I'd love to check out your framed pictures; I'd just be envious :)

Did Joey get a new bike too? David getting beat up, not a new favorite. Of course our kids are wonderful, good genes.

So glad you know Sharon! She is the best (she was one of our neighbors). You are staying plenty busy:) Miss you!
