SEVEN ALREADY!!!!!

It's hard to believe that my M&M twins are seven years old! I still remember the day I found out I was pregnant with twins, and the shock, fear, and excitement I felt. Matt and Megan were born the day before Thanksgiving and were 5 weeks early. It was a special day for our whole family. It's crazy how time flies by and how fast my kids are growing up!

Well, this year I told Matt and Megan that they will need to take turns having a B-day party with their friends. Matt had his turn this year ,and Megan will get her friend party next year.
Matt chose to go bowling for his party. It was kind of crazy helping 11 boys bowl and keep up with their energy, and try and do presents, cake ect... by myself. Rich took Megan to the movie ,while I took care of Matt's party, and my mom tended Sadie and Bailee. The boys had a great time, but I was bummed that when I got my camera out to take pictures my sd card wasn't in their, so I only got a couple of pics on internal memory. Anyway, after the party we got some pizza and came home and let Matt and Megan open some presents. Well, we noticed Megan 's eye wasn't looking very good, come to find out it's pink eye, and now Sadie is showing signs of having it. We got the antibiotic eye drops, so I hope the girls eyes clear up soon. We are supposed to have Thanksgiving at my house with some of Rich's family. I sure pray all my kids will be healthy, so it won't mess up our plans!

Anyways, here is a couple of pics from their B-day, and a couple of pics of Rich with an Elk he shot during his Elk hunt this month.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!


Happy Birthday Matt & Meg!

Flag Football season almost over!

Flag football is almost over. Seth's season ended a week ago, and Matt's last two games are this week. Rich coached Seth's team this year. They had a lot of fun. They only lost one game,and Seth really impressed me this season. He played really well. Everytime he got the ball he scored a touchdown. He gets his speed and quickness from his Dad and Rich's brother Rob. His ability to see the field and get around the defense was definitely a big improvement from last year. He loves football and was sad to see the season end. Rich is an awesome coach, and the boys on his team like him alot. Seth has been begging us to let him play tackle football next year, but Rich would like him to play one more year of flag, and then in 6th grade move on to tackle, so we will see what happens!
This was Matt's first year of playing flag football, and he has done awesome! He is one of the older kids on his team, so that makes a difference of course. He has been a good leader for his team with helping the younger boys learn to play the game better. His coach likes him to be the quarterback to help get the ball to his teammates, but he also will get the ball a couple of times in a game and has scored touchdowns as well, so he is pretty excited about that! I enjoy watching my kids play ball, and to see the excitement on their faces when they do something great, but it's been a little harder this season with a brand new baby trying to juggle everything, and enjoy it all at the same time. It will be nice for a little break before they start basketball in January.
Football buddies!

BUSY WEEKEND

Well, this weekend was a busy one for us! We had Halloween fun on Friday and Bailee's baby blessing today. To start off the kids had a blast on Halloween from their school parade and class parties, to going over to our good friends Nate and Angie Staheli's house for dinner, before we headed out as a big group trick or treating around Santa Clara. After the kids got to trick or treat with their friends, we went over to Rich's mom's house. We had a great time their hanging out and laughing at eachother's costumes. Rich's brother Rob dressed up as the grim reaper and scared the kids with his looks, and they even got to meet the real Cinderella from Disneyland (Rich's cousin Cindy) and boy did the kids believe she was the real Cinderella!! I of course just made it easy on myself and dressed as a WHOOPIE CUSHION don't come to close!!! HALLOWEEN was a lot of FUN, and the kids got way to much candy and will probably be on a sugar high for quite sometime!!!

Today we had Bailee Jean's baby blessing. Because of rainy weather and lack of space in my home, we had our luncheon at my parent's home. Thanks mom for letting us again dirty your house. The Bailey and Rodgers families had a great time together. Thanks again to my family and friends who supported us on this special day. We Love You!!!
