Richie's a GREEN belt!

If you know us at all, you know that we do A LOT of karate around here. Richie has been in for about a year and a half, and goes up to 4 days a week. He has worked really hard and just earned his green belt. He has gone from a white belt, to a yellow, orange, blue, purple and now green.

We are very proud of him!!!

Thank You VETERANS!!!

The first grade class at Syracuse Arts Academy put on a Veterans Day program. They did a great job!! Richie was one of the students selected to be an announcer. They sang patriotic songs, had a slide show, and made a flag for each vet that came. Way to go Richie! THANK YOU to all of the men and woman who sacraifice so much for our families and our great country!! And a special shout of thanks and hugs to Grandpa (Rowland), Uncle Derrek, Poppie (Rick), and Nana (Debra)!!! You're the best!!!

Each child shook the hand of each vet that came.

(Carter was a pill during the performance, but how can ya not love that face?!?)

Alora, the Diva

All my life, I just wanted to have babies. Just to be a Mom. I had every doll there was and I was always a girly-girl. Putting bows in their hair, and even my little brothers hair. Now that I am a Mommy and have my GIRL, it really IS all that it's cracked up to be...plus some!

And I just had to post this, because I think Alora is so dang cute in her big ol' high chair. She started cereal 2 weeks ago, and absolutely LOVES it!

Photo Tag

So this tag is from Sarah and Chrystie....I thought I would play along! You go to the 4th folder in your pictures and grab the 4th photo. Here is what I found:

Carter in the tub! He was 11 months old. Oh he's just so darn cute!!!
