TWO FOOTBALL GAMES, TWO PARKS AND A FITNESS TRAIL!

See didn't I tell you I was busy? We have had at least 2 football games per week and 2 volleyball games per week (I know, I know.. I only took pics once of Britt's volleyball games and wouldn't you know when I got home I realized that I had forgotten to stick the memory card in before I left. Nice!! OH well.. there's always next year. I hope!

Ok so first are the 2 football games. One was Marcelo's who is doing ok in football, but asks to quit at least twice a week..lol. And one is Cody who is still doing FANTASTIC! He is always being tried in different positions, he plays the ENTIRE game too! He plays offense, defense and special teams. The poor kid never gets a break... and he LOVES it. The really good thing about this is that he is doing better in school, keeping his room cleaner and just seems happier! And boy does he LOVE to talk about football!!

So without further ado, here are the football pics of Marcelo and Cody..

So we have really been parking (I know that's not a word) it up lately! The day after the babies' birthday we decided since it was a gorgeous day that we would take the girls to a nearby park that has a bunch of fairytale themes. It's really cute, albeit a little rusty and in need of a good paint job. We also got some really good fall shots of the kids!

And here are the pics from the 2nd park we went to. This was from last weekend. We decided to go visit my grandma but decided to stop at a park along the way. We were going to cook out on the grills there but SOMEONE bought the charcoal without the lighter fluid in it and then didn't bring lighter fluid so .... well we had a nice dinner at my grandma's. LOL. It was still good. :)

And lastly we went on a fitness trail. Oh this was so fun. This was also at the park that was near my grandma's. I had done this trail when I was little and had such fond memories of it. Well it was still really fun, but they had really tamed down some of the equipment. I guess too many people got hurt and complained. WHINERS! We had such a good time goofying around and walking in the trees and I can't wait to do it again!

Did you notice Britt likes to hang upside down??

KALIA & SOFIYA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

Yes I know I already did a birthday post but that was for their actual birthday. This one is for their birthday party that I held late this year due to having Brittani's big ole' party a couple weeks ago.

We had a nice little birthday party with just a few close relatives. We had a nice time chatting and catching up and watching the girls oooo and aaahhh over their Little Einstein's cake, Little Einstein's toys, and Little Einstein's movies. Did I mention it was a Little Einstein's party? The girls just LOVE Little Einsteins so how could I resist? :)

The girls got a very special surprise gift for their birthday... do you know what it is? ;)

MY BABIES ARE TWO!!!

Ok so I know I'm posting this late and I apologize but I have been a little busy with football, football, and volleyball... and ok.. I procrastinated a bit too. So pretend I'm posting this about a week and a half ago, ok?


On the girls' actual birthday, we woke up early and had homemade waffles!! YUM!! The girls loved them! Then it was bath time (to rinse off all that syrup!) then we were off to the zoo. It was just me, the girls, Jeff and his girlfriend Stephanie. It was a GORGEOUS October day and we all had so much fun. The girls were actually very interested in the animals this time. (they are very interested in learning animals and animal noises at home too) They kept staring, laughing and squealing all day. They just loved the penguins, mainly because one of the huge ones was rubbing up against the glass right in front of them. He was there forever and they just giggled and giggled! It was too cute! They also loved the monkeys (bitty's as Kalia calls them) and the baby elephants. OH they were so cute playing together. We went in the aquarium and stayed there for a bit looking at all the fish, sharks and turtles (teetles as kalia calls them). Then they were off for a quick play on the little playground (we had to drag them away) and they slept the whole way home! They had a great time at the zoo!!

When we got home we made one of their favorite dinners - chicken nuggets and homemade mac & cheese. YUM! A cupcake each finished it off! I think they had a pretty good birthday, don't you?
