My first 5k after Reese!

Sydney with her medal from the Kids' Fun Run!

The kids and I at the pancake breakfast after the race
Me & my friend Cheryl after the race...so tired!

Some celebrities were on hand to entertain the kids!

Proud Mommy moment

I can't explain how proud I was to have Sydney come and read to my kindergarten class this week...it's one of those perks you get when you teach at the school your kids attend!

Growing up

Bennett is such a great big brother and Reese absolutely loves him!!!

Sydney did the Liberty High School cheerleading clinic and had a great time cheering and dancing at the Blue Jay football game!

Reese has made another milestone...eating cereal for the first time! She actually did pretty well with it and swallowed most of it. Is it terrible that I haven't had time to give it to her again since that night??

Soccer season is in full swing!

Sydney is playing fall soccer this year and loving it! They have moved to the U7 division so they have a co-ed team now, goalies, and play on a full-size field. All of these things are proving to make things a little more difficult, but after a great victory today, her comment was, "I even pushed somebody Mom!" We're working on her being a little more aggressive...does this make us bad parents??

Ben has made his soccer debut this fall as well at the Bitty Soccer program at the community center. He has had a great time, and I can't help but chuckle every week when we put on his shin guards(which look much more like knee or thigh guards on him)!

Milestones

Reese has recently started accomplishing some very fun things(of course now that I am back to work!) She has officially found her toes and loves to hang onto them like a little chimp...
...and she is way too mature for the bouncy seat, and gets bored in there very quickly, so has graduated to the much more exciting exersaucer!!!

KC Royals

Our seats were WAY up high!

Sydney & Miss Kemmerer

Bennett, Sydney, & I went to the Royals game with my coworkers last Friday night, the kids had a lot of fun and we stayed until the very end to watch the fireworks! A very late night, but definitely worth it...

Bumbo fun!

I love my new Bumbo chair! Sitting up is really fun!
