Family Brunch at Shaker Country Club

For the Junior Leage we have an annual Fundraiser called Poinsettia Place. They have all of these vendors with different items for sale for the holidays. They also have a Girls Night Out and a Family Brunch. I thought I would take Savannah to the Family Brunch this year. They had a nice brunch and then Santa came out. Gave each of the kids a present (we got hair glitter!). The kids could make some crafts and they also had a twigbee shop for the kids to buy presents. Savannah bought something for daddy and CJ. After that we went and did a little shopping ourselves. My aunt Mary Beth came with us and it was a lot of fun (even if I drank a little too much the night before!)

Cici's Pizza Party

Through the Avon Lake Early Childhood PTA they have various outings that you can go on with other kids. This one was to go to Cici's Pizza. We went before the store opened (yes 10 am for pizza). The kids got a tour of the place and then they got to make their own pizzas. So half of the group did that and the other half got to play games. Of course they could only play the games that didn't win prizes. Savannah had no idea what she was doing, but had a good time. Was a bit hard to get her out of there to make her pizza. But she had fun making her pizza, didn't really eat all that much so we took the rest home to daddy.

The Circus

We took Savannah to the circus in early November. We left CJ with Jim's parents so it was just mommy, daddy and Savannah. She really liked it and couldn't wait for the tigers! Thank goodness they had them. They also had $12 cotton candy! I couldn't believe it. They didn't have prices on anything and I told Savannah to pick a snack. Of course it got all over and I wouldn't let her eat anymore and we ended up getting popcorn anyway.

Halloween 2008

Guess I better get this blog updated. Didn't realize it had been over a month since I posted. I guess that is what happens with two little ones.

Savannah was Dora and CJ, well he was just whatever. We did have these cute Vampire Teeth pacifier, but he didn't really like it. So he turned into a pumpkin.

Savannah wasn't much into trick or treating this year like she was in the past, but she got some candy and was happy with that.

A Brunette!!

Well I was really sick of my hair so I decided to do something new and different! I have never had dark hair, so I thought why not. It is only hair so why not! What do you think????

OU Reunion!

Went back to OU for the weekend with some girlfriends of mine from college. We had so much fun. There was Bethany, Kimmie and Tiffin. We went out Friday night and had dinner at the old Wings and Rings. Then off to te Pub for a few drinks. Saturday we walked around campus and did a little shopping. There is this cool new tshirt shop where The Dugout used to be. The guy sells old vintage tshirts of Athens. I got a cool Pub tshirt. Then Saturday night we ate at the Pigskin and played a little Euchre. We called it in early that night. Yes we are old! But we had a great time. I even snuck a few Athen's bricks. Of course we didn't know until we got back that they are from the old TB ward at the Ridges! Yikes!!!!

New Professional Pics

So I am finally getting around to posting a few items on the blog again. I took the kids to get their pictures taken for Savannah's 3rd Birthday and CJs 6 months photos. They turned out great.

CJs Baptism!

CJ was Baptized Sunday September 14th. He did a great job. Even the minister talked that he never had a baby so excited. It was great to have all of the family in town together.

Savannah Turns 3!!!

Well I haven't posted in a while. Guess that is what happens when I go back to work.

We celebrated Savannah's birthday a few weeks early to coincide with CJ's baptism. We had a carnival birthday. Savannah loves going to carnivals. So we had games (fish pond, face painting, lolipop tree, bean bag toss) and a bounce house. I bought one for her for her birthday. Even though Jim didn't want to get it, he now gets the fun the kids have with it. We even got a pinata. Savannah had a great time.

Labor Day Weekend.

We had a pretty packed weekend. On Friday I took the kids to the zoo for a few hours. We had a nice time. CJ was good as always while we were there.

Friday night I had my 2nd Fantasy Football draft. I wasn't planning on being in any this year and somehow I am now in 2! The first one is just for fun with friends and family through Facebook. Then Jim had an odd number for his draft that was $20. So I said fine I will join. So we did that Friday night. It is so funny how crazy these guys get. We had our neighbor Steve over as well. They were all stressed in between picks while I did laundry. I guess we will see what strategy was better as the season progresses.

On Saturday we cleaned most of the morning. Jim's parents came over that evening because we had a wedding to go to. It was a nice time.

Sunday we didn't do much in the morning and headed to the Janscura's for their Labor Day party. In true Savannah fashion we had a few melt downs. But overall she did well. She really enjoyed playing in the bouncehouse. I think we are going to buy her one for her birthday because I think the kids will get a lot of use out of it.

Then today we decided to head to the Soak City at Cedar Point. Probably not our best idea. CJ always does well when we go to these places. He loves just hanging out. The weather was great today because it was nice and cool in the shade. Savannah didn't like water on her head so she didn't really do much. They had great things for toddlers. It is too bad. Maybe next year.

Now it is back to work for us tomorrow. Savannah starts gymnastics on Wednesday! That should be interesting.
