"Kyle Nelson celebrates after Anderson's 35-20 win over Ashland in an Ohio Division II semifinal Nov. 23, 2007, in Dublin, Ohio"... way to go Kyle!!! His team is one game away from being the first Anderson team to take STATE!! We are so proud!!

Go REDSKINS!!!

Go, Go, G-O, Come on Kyle let's GO!!
My brother Kyle has his football play-off game tonight!! This is his senior year and the Anderson Redskins have had an incredible season. Last week they beat out our rival high school with seconds to go. I've been so sad that I haven't been able to attend, so this week Ory wanted to show his support for his awesome uncle! As my nephew Mese would say, "kick their as!!!" We are soo proud of you Kyle and know you'll do great! Love ya!

3 month pictures

So I've been trying to take pictures of Orin for weeks now... he's already not cooperating during my "photo shoots!" I thought they were suppost to be easy to photograph at this age!! Notice the stink face, he gets that from his aunt Jenna!! :) He's growing up soo fast. He giggles and grabs at things... he loves to take out his binky, but doesn't quite get it back in himself (he's gotten it back in upside down though)! Whenever we put him on the ground he moves his legs and arms around like a wild man... I think he'll be quite the mover!! He's just soo much fun!

monkey see, monkey do

We finally got the boys (Randy and Ory) together to take pictures in their monkey costumes! You can tell by the end they were really loving it!!

what a wild month...

We're finally back to blogging!! What a crazy... fun month we've had!! We have had something going on every weekend this month, which just makes life full of fun! We went to Disneyland (I haven't been there since I learned my ABC's..., but I've been to Disneyworld tons of times, so it was fun to compare!) It was such a wonderful weekend and we stayed at Dave and Chelsey's!! I swear she should open a bed and breakfast... I can't remember the last time I woke up to the smell of bacon!! They were such wonderful hosts! We went to the beach where Shawn tried to surf!!! It was fun to spend time with the Naef clan, we miss them tons :).

Nani turned ONE!!! Yeah... she is such a cutie!! That same day we went to the pumpkin patch twice, once with Nickie and her adorable girls and then later with Ryan and Jen and Randy and Ashley. I just love the fall... apple cider, pumpkins, and fall leaves, (which I miss HORRIBLY!!!)

Halloween was full of chaos... but with 31 fourth graders, I just embrased it! Orin was a monkey and I was his zoo keeper. The weekend before we went to Sara and Kit's house for a Halloween party and it was so much fun!! We dressed up as the USA world champion tennis doubles team or something like that!! Shawn did a good job getting together our costumes with in a few hours. So that was our fun filled, busy busy month and November seems to be just as jammed pack!!
