Fall soccer has come to a close and Matthew had a big season. This was his first season to be on the Juniors. Although he started a bit slow he finally did get in the game and was a bit more agressive by the end of the season! He loves soccer and enjoys playing it, but Im not sure what spring will bring for us. He has been talking about trying baseball- so we shall see. But, what a great soccer season and looking forward to what spring brings!

We took the kids to see Disney on Ice- Dare to Dream this past weekend. What a great time! We saw all the Princesses, Mickey, Mouse, Minnie, Goofy & Donald! The lights, music and dancing was truly a great way to kick off our summer vacation to Walt Disney World! The kids had a blast and couldn't take their eyes off the ice. It was truly enjoyed by so many people of all ages!

When all 6 grandkids get together-- lets just say that it is a HOOT! The kids are all over the place, we get a few cries, lots of laughter, a few little spats. Sharing--- well with 6 grandkids, its tough but they are all learning! They all get along in their own little ways, have their spats and love to be together. Below are a few out-takes from the last few weeks!

October 28th, I celebrated my 33rd birthday and it was such a great day! My mom and Dave's Mom had Grandparents Day in the morning and then we went off to have lunch very nice lunch where we sat, ate, talked, laughed and enjoyed ourselves and then we did a little shopping. In the afternoon, we attended Julia's Halloween party, magic show and parade. Then in the evening we went to dinner. It was a great day, special day and I just loved every minute of it!
