More soccer season on my phone

Even more phone pictures

Lucy likes to find spots all over the house to hang out. She also insists on carrying around bags of snacks every where she goes.  She calls them "nacks."

Our neighbors took Lilly to her first Penn State football game. It was fun to get pictures from my baby visiting my alma mater.

Jack and our next door neighbor Larissa. They go to preschool together and our buddys.

Bloomsburg Fair is a big deal here.  The kids get off two days from school. Here is Lilly's art display at the fair. She made a bird house, we weren't sure which one was hers.

Blue ribbon pumpkin for largest pumpkin. Over 1,000 lbs.

Another big pumpkin, 967lbs.

Our neighbors, Cara and Larissa, with our kids in front of the dual winning pumpkins.

The botany theme this year was the Wizard of Oz and movies.  Which we all loved!

Fun day at the fair!

Phone pics

Soccer season is over and I think Jack had fun.

Before soccer season ended we took a family trip to Great Wolf Lodge.  GWL is an indoor water park and hotel in the Poconos.  We had a GREAT weekend and only grabbed pics on my phone.

Jack and Lucy watching cartoons in our lodge room. Lucy loves to do whatever her siblings are doing.  She likes to hang with the big kids.

Chocolate milk on the patio.

At the lodge they have "Magic Quest." The kids get wands that are activated and can run around the lodge on missions.  Their wand activates various items and pictures.

They also had entertainment and shows in the lobby.

At the water park...

Not pictured are the giant water slides, wave pool, various play pools, splash pads, obstacle courses, and my favorite part - the lazy river.

And free face painting.

Pretty fun packed 24 hours!!

Lucy at the piano

My Lucy girl loves music.  She really was a dancer before she could walk and a singer before she could talk (ABBA quote). She likes to sit at the piano and sing and play.  She does NOT like it if it's not her turn at the piano.  If I am teaching a piano lesson she likes to sit at the piano and scream at my students because she does not like to take turns at the piano. Sometimes she will let me play, but that's pretty rare.  I love my music baby.

A rare moment of piano sharing for all.

First day of preschool

Jack was so excited for his first day of preschool! He burst into my room at 6:15 AM and said "Can I go to school now?"  Poor guy had to wait 6 more hours before he could go to school.

It's pretty hard to get Lucy to stand still, especially for a picture, so Jack used the choke hold method to get a picture with his baby Lucy.

Jack is attending Baylors preschool along with our neighbor, Larissa.

Those two LOVE school!

One morning at breakfast Jim said: "Jack, what's your teachers name?" Jack replied: "You don't need to know that."

We love our Jack!

Summer storm

We had some pretty ominous clouds over our street. Just a thunder storm, no hail or tornadoes!

Here are the kids with Jim on his birthday.  We had a great day and I made Jim his preferred cake, Olive Oil cake. Simple and delicious.
