Caught on Tape

2 posts in 1 day.... Wow, doesn't get much better than that! I finally got pictures of the 2 fox that have been roaming our neighborhood for the past month or more. They are really cute, but they also have been getting in our trash and scaring the kids around the neighborhood. They were even featured in the Mascoutah Herald last week! They're famous!

Joshua's 3rd Birthday Party

Friday night we celebrated with Joshua at his 3rd Birthday party! It was a pool party! The girls had a blast swimming, the only brave adult to go out there with the kids was Uncle Doug!

Happy Birthday Ms. Tia!

Happy Birthday to Ms. Tia today! We had a very lovely dinner with her and her family at Roemer Topf in Mascoutah this evening. The food was delicious!!!! Thank you to Ms. Tia for being a wonderful, loving care giver to our girls. They are little geniuses because of you! We love you!

Go Daddy Go!

The girls and I went up to Bob's softball game last night. The girls just love watching their daddy. They cheered for him every time he was up to bat, covering third base or in the dugout - didn't matter - they cheered him on. I think Bob might have even been getting a little embarrassed by all the cheering.... BOBBY! BOBBY! BOBBY!

Getting ready.....

bring it, bring it..... Comin' on home...

Hot Tubing

Sunday evening my parents had us and the Morra family over for dinner. Of course, the kids had to get into the hot tub since my dad didn't have the horse trough out - dad sets the temp low when the girls come over so it actually feels like a bath tub. The trough was our "pool" growing up. It is actually the perfect size for a raft, so it wasn't sooo bad... just the fact that dad called that our "pool" made it worse than it actually was.

Gianna turns 1

Tonight we spent the evening at Gianna's 1 year birthday party. The girls had such a good time. During football season, we watch Packer games with the Sink family - we have 3 of the cutest little Packer Cheerleaders.

Mascoutah Homecoming

The Good Ol' Mascoutah Homecoming was this weekend. Our church had a float in the parade, so Saturday night our whole family including mom, dad and Nicole walked/rode in the parade and handed out candy and pencils. The girls sang along to VBS songs they had learned the week before. We all had a great time.

While waiting for the parade to start we also saw Kylie. She was walking with her Grandma Kris and Mr. Video!

Back at the Homecoming we met up with Joe, Tia, Kirstie and their neice Alex. All of the girls had a blast riding all the rides! The Spaceships were one of the girls favorite rides.

BEEP! BEEP! All of the girls on the Carousel.Cami going for a ride on a Motorcycle. Syd was close on her tail. The girls ended the night with a (messy) snow cone.
In true Mascoutah fashion, we also went back to the picnic on Sunday after the parade for dinner and a few more rides. If you are from Mascoutah, the homecoming is like another holiday.

I hope you all had a nice weekend and have a great week ahead.
