Halloween

Well, I am finally getting out Halloween pictures posted. I wish Halloween was on Saturday every year. It was so nice to not have to rush home from work and school to hurry and get ready to go trick or treating. We left early enough that we were able to go to all of our friends and then on to our families. We were able to stay a visit awhile. It was nice not to have to rush. Sydney was Snow White, Shelby was a cat, and Preston was a cow. Sydney wasn't too happy that I wouldn't spray paint her hair black.

For my dads birthday the girls decorated pumpkins and took them up to grave. I can't believe that is has almost been 2 years since he passed away.

NASA Ares Shuttle a Sucess

NASA had a successful test launch of their Ares Shuttle yesterday. They want to replace the current space shuttle with the ares. A totally different look. Hopefully the current presidency doesn't put a cobosh on it like they are thinking. They want to pay the Russians to take us up to space. Anyway here are some neat pictures of hopefully our future.

TONS &TONS OF PHOTOS & CATCHING UP

I have been slacking on posting photos so here are a ton from the last 2 months. I have put them if a few different posts, so just keep scrolling.

Preston, loves the tub, just like the girls did. Hes is 7 months now and is rolling all over the place. He has started to get up on his hands and knees the last couple of days so I am sure it won't be too long before he is crawling and getting into the cupards. They are so fun at this age. He is growing up too fast. He is by far the tickelish baby I have had. It is so easy to get him laughing and he doesn't stop. I love it.
Sydney going to her kindergarten assessment interview with her teacher. For some reason they have the kids go the 1st week of school then they get a week off. Odd. After she got ready she asked her dad if she looked like she was 8. She just can not wait until she is older. Boy time does fly. She is taking tap and ballet again this year and we have added Cheerleading, she loves both. She is also doing soccer again this fall, she is getting the hang of it a little.

Shelby, Preston, and Sydney on Sydney's first day of school
Shelby is now 2 1/2 and is talking like crazy. She loves to dance and wishes she could do everything Sydney does. She still loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse. She is the one that gets to stay up with mom and dad after Sydney and Preston have gone to bed. She is almost potty trained. Most days is does really well and has no accidents. Sometimes she wears pull ups, others she wears her panties, just depends on her day. Every once in a while she will go and get one of Prestons diapers and she has to wear it to bed. Silly girl, she makes us laugh.

Sydney's first day of kindergarten 8-31-09. She has Mrs. Ashley Anderson and goes in the afternoon. She loves having a girl teacher.
