the night before preschool started at the delta fair...(labor day 2007)

since we ABSOLUTELY LOST OUR MINDS, we took the kids to the delta fair for a second time the night before preschool started with the york family. we went right after nap time, and ended up staying way too late! but, the kids were amazingly well behaved the whole time we were there. i have NEVER seen two kids so content in a stroller for hours on end (drew and ava)! and the big kids (at the old age of 2 years and 11 months), had the time of their lives! and the adults didn't mind all the fun either! pronto pups, frozen lemonades, sno-cones...what's not to love! we capped off the night with a visit to the firetruck and then headed home for a good night's sleep before the first day of school!

a trip to the fair with the mc vea's...labor day weekend.

labor day weekend with the mc vea's!!!

poppy bill's birthday party...august 31st!!!

well, i tried to zoom through the pics from august to get caught up to blogging in the present (thanks for all of the encouragement, dad and maribeth!!!) on the last day of august we celebrated my dad's birthday a few days early. as you can tell, sarah thought the occasion was a dress rehearsal for her birthday celebration! the video last week of drew dancing was from the party, too!

hilarious!!! what a mom says all day long in a 2 minute song!!!

happy 3rd birthday sissy!!!

sarah, we are so proud of the little girl you have become!!! you are so "grown up" and still a baby all at the same time! your many faces keep us laughing and on our toes! you are the light of our lives and we can't imagine a day without you! little drew already tries to be just like you--and we are so glad you will be there to teach him for the rest of your lives!!!

love, mommy and daddy

all i want to do is dance dance dance...

ballerina by day, princess by night :)

sarah's first bike...

at the beginning of august, we gave sarah her first bike (an early birthday present). she is having a bike birthday party, so we were hoping she could learn to ride the 2 wheeler with training wheels before the big party day! so far, no such luck :) but, she is enjoying wearing her dora helmet all the time! as you can see, sarah and drew were big helpers during the assembly process again!
