I can do it!!!

Over the weekend Reese decided to try to get his paci in his mouth all by himself. He managed to do it at 3:30 in the morning, but when I woke Evan up to see he didn't want to do it anymore. Of course!! Here is a video of him trying so hard to do it again later that day. Enjoy!

Growing too fast

I can't believe how big both of my kids are getting. Sidney will be 10 years old in one month. Double Digits!!! That is so weird to me. Seems like she just got here. And speaking of just getting here, Reese is already 3 months old. Where does the time go?

Pictures of Reese

He is growing up too fast. These are some pics I took with my phone during our time at tome together.

Baker Farm Pumpkin Patch

We went to Baker Farm on October 17, with our friends the Fordhams. It was so much fun. Sidney, Evan and I had been before, but this was Reese's first time, obviously. It was too wet to do the corn mazes and such, but we still did the hay ride to get our pumpkins and saw all the barn yard animals. Here are a couple of pictures from the day. The two little girls are Brooke and Lily Fordham, two of the three Fordham triplets.

AM I too old?

So this year while I was out on maternity leave, I participated in an Alumni Majorette Reunion. I belong to a web site about my alma mater Leeds High School. There are all sorts of groups to be a part of: Band, Majorettes, Class of, In Memory and so on. The founder of the majorette site thought it would be a lot of fun if we did a performance at a home foot ball game. Iy has been a while since LHS has seen a majorette line perform.

When I was in school, we always had at least 3 or 4 on the squad. We our alumni group got together and started sharing stories, the days past seemed like a lot of fun. They always had a big squad and would go to camp every year and bring home a trophy for being the best. Our camps always consisted of going in the gym and learning a routine. Oh well.

We thought it would be cool to perform at Homecoming, but by the time we got together it was only 3 weeks away. Not enough time for some of us to get our joints unsqueaky to perform a routine. So one of the ladies that is good at making up routines and pushing people got a routine going. We met for practices twice a week and started looking like a majorette squad. It was so much fun. We had ladies from 2008 all the way back to 1968 (graduating year). some wanted to twirl more than others, but we all had a good time.

So on October 9, 2009, the big day had finally arrived. We were set to perform with the band at half time on the field in front of a big crowd. Yikes!!! We only did one song on the field and a fight song on the track in front of everyone. They cheered louder than any of us expected. Everyone loved it. We keep getting praise from all sorts of people. We are already thinking about next year.

I know I am no good at this

I should update my blog regularly. I know it's been a couple weeks since I last blogged. Hopefully I will get better and get pictures up sooner. So I am gonna do some posts about past things and at least get some pictures up. Hope you enjoy!!
