Happy Birthday Jack!

I can't believe it! Jack just turned one a couple of days ago! He even got to celebrate twice. Once the day before his birthday with Nana, Poppy and Destiny and the second time on his real birthday. He was a little dissappointed come day 3 when he didn't get another slice of cake!

If you play this video you might want to plug your ears in the beginning while we're singing "Happy Birthday to You!"

1st Day of Soccer Too!

Not only was it the first day of school it was also the 1st day of soccer. Needless to say the kids slept well that night! Maybe as the year goes on we'll get some good action shots.

1st Day of School

To start the year off right we had a big breakfast at our house and invited the neighborhood kids to help eat it. We had to wake up extra early to pull it off, but it was a lot of fun!

It was so weird sending Megan and Porter off to school. Porter is in kindergarten and Megan is now in the 2nd grade. They have had a great start and both love their teachers.

We Need To Take This Girl To Vegas!

Last week we spent a couple of days on the coast at Seaside. We played a few games at the arcade on the boardwalk and Megan was on a winning streak! With $10 worth of quarters she won over 2,000 tickets! The most expensive prize in the place was 270 tickets. The kids got every prize they could ever want and we still had left over tickets, which we gave to the family standing behind us in line. They deserved it after having to wait for our kids to decide what they wanted.

Expressions From Jack

Money Ball

Sean came up with this game we like to call "Money Ball". It's a win, win for everyone. Sean gets to practice his golf swing while the kids practice their catching skills. For every ball they catch they either get 10 points or 10 cents (depending on how generous Sean feels that day), if they at least touch the ball they get 5 points/cents. After all the balls have been hit the kids gather them up and place the balls in a pile right next to their dad. Now Sean feels like he has his own little driving range in our backyard with ball retrievers and everything! Don't worry, he doesn't use real golf balls, he uses those light weight plastic ones!
