October 2006 - OUR 15th Anniversary

John and I went to NYC in October to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversay! It was MY first time and I fell in LOVE with it..

This picture is from the Top of the ROCK. Beautiful


This is ground zero... it was still just a big HOLE... I think it was about one week after we were there, that they found bones! 5 YEARS after 9/11. That's so sad.










Here, John and I are on a ferry going to Ellis Island.

Silly little fairy :P







This one's just ME at the wall on Ellis Island with the Statue of Liberty behind me.

Ellis Island was my favorite place!

Summer Soccer 2006

JaKe was doing this upside down thing, at Jordan's first soccer game of the season...
Of course I was focused on HIM and I missed Jordan's first goal of the season...
eeep!... I missed it... :(










Jordan loves his soccer.

Jake was patting his brother on the shoulder during a break.... HOW sweet is that!

Silly Jakie...and ouhh ooohh

This is just too funny NOT to post!












Little Monster's up to something....

First Day of 4th grade!

Jordan is now 9 and his first day of 4th grade was not as exciting for him as past years. Jordan finally realized that he DIDN'T want summer to end! (I was wondering when he was going to figure that out, and THIS was the year.)
Now that he's in class, he's excited. Likes his teachers and is thrilled about changing classes 4 times a day. He's growing up sooo fast.
:(

John John

This is John John...My hubby.

He's a sports NUT...well...maybe he's just a nut .. but anyway,
that means I'm a football widow!

HE gave me that name because I just roll my eyes when he tells me he's going to his football drafts. :P

Yes...draftS..... usually he participates in anywhere from five to eight fantasy football teams at a time... To me, the words "fantasy" and "football" just don't go together.

BUT, that's just me...the widow!

My baby Monster!

Wow! Jake was almost 8 weeks old here.







I can't imagine that he was ever that tiny!
WHAT A CUTIE!



This is from Christmas 2004.

Love those cheeks!

This is my eldest monster. See the faces he makes.
He's going to get stuck that way, and THEN what will I do!





Here's the "Hansom" face! He's a "LOOKER"!










Silly boy...he's 6 in this one.

Galveston 2006 Summer Vacation

These are just a few photo's taken
in the middle of July.


The boys had fun at the beach, but they liked the pool better.
Go figure.

Just ME

It's just me. Uploading a picture of, guess who....just me...I realized that I'm not in many pictures because I'm behind the camera. My mom's friends noticed that too. They probably wondered if my mom MADE me up! :P
kidddingg!! I tried to upload it to my profile, but it's not hosted anywhere, so this will do for now. So, that's IT...just me... :)

My Monsters and John, July 2006

July 31st, 2006 10:20 pm

Today is my first day as a blogger! I'm excited about having a website.
It's my first one and I'm sure not my last.

Just for posterity sake, I'm listing my families demographics :)

My eldest monster - that's John :) He's 38 in people years but 5 at heart. Now seriously, he's the love of my life and husband of 15 years this October.

Jordan - aka: pumpkin; sweetpea; buddy; and of course Monster. He's 9 as of June, approximately 4'8" and 100 lbs. The kid eats ROCKS! In two weeks, he's going to be a 4th grader. That's just not right!

Jacob - aka: baby; sweetpea2; jorJacob; peanut, and also, Monster. He's our soon to be line backer! All of 27 months old, stocky as all get out and already about 35-36 inches tall. Ughhh.
He's all about soccer (even sleeps with his soccer ball) and loves to play the harmonica!

Me, I'm MOM - aka: mommy; looly (that's Jacob trying to call me Lily); Lil. In about a week, I'll be 29. (lol - shush) That's all I have to say about that!

Pretty much, that's if for my first posting. See Ya!
Lil
