**October**
More Cute Kids!
I will have more pictures for October (HALLOWEEN!), but I wanted to share this with everyone! They were just too cute sitting together and dressed alike! Hey, I need something to bribe them with when they get older!
She Really Said It
Lily played "Biddy Soccer" at the Y recently. After our third and final practice our team decided that we should be called the "Sharks". At our first "game" (really, they are a bunch of three-year-olds!) Lily looks at me and says "Mommy, I'm not a Shark, I'm an Anemone."
Thanks for the post. Your kids look really cute together in their matching clothes. I love your pictures below too - I love the one of them going down the slide! That's awesome timing in a shot! I like the band-aid on Lily's nose picture too. Jon's almost 2 years old and he's still got just a shadow of hair! :) They're sooo cute! Thanks for the pictures.
Hi Jennifa!
Mem came over tonight with all the pics you sent her for her birthday. This was one of them. They were all great! Darn, but you and Ray made some really cute kids! Hope you have fun with Dan! Get lots of pics.
Love you lots

Hi All,
Just wanted to let you know we know you have been soooooo busy, but I also wanted to say we miss seeing you! I still come to the site and look at the older photos when I need to see the kids. Thanks, hope things calm down and that you are able to post again some time!
Love Aunt Bev
Hi Jennifa!
It's February!!!!! Much love and I know that you've been busy and sick. Get well and find some free time to update us! Love you and miss you and look forward to seeing you in March!
I want to tell your to know that i have the same last name
**September**
We All Knew It Was Coming...
Well, for right now, I'm switching to a "Once-a-month" update. It's been crazy busy here and I just haven't had time to keep up. Much less take pictures! I've been real busy with my new job and I'm really enjoying it. Lily has also given us a run for our money with her allergies and asthma. Jon just gives us a run for our money every day. It's a real good thing he's cute! Well, here are some pictures from September.
Photo Session
Jon
His Feet Don't Quite Reach Yet
Down The Slide
This is my favorite picture.
Traveling In Style
Too Cute
Lily started a 5 week "Acting" Class. She went with her friend, Grace Riley. They were reluctant at first but had a blast!
Broken Nose?
Okay, so I'm not going to win "Mom-of-the-Year" this year! I picked Lily up and threw her over my shoulder and she squirmed to the right and smacked her nose into the hutch. We went to the ER and they said it was probably broken but it would be foolish to do a CT Scan since we were going for one in 2 days for her sinuses. (Good timing, huh?) Long story condensed, no broken nose and no blockages in her sinuses! By the way, do not leave Lily alone with Bandaids!!!
Party Time!
I was able to snap this pic of the kids actually sitting down together. So what if they were STRAPPED into their car seats and couldn't move. They were at least looking at the camera! They were all dressed up for Grace's Birthday Party!
1st post! 'nuff said.....
:) :) :)
Hi Jennifa!
The site is beautiful!!!!!!!!!! I don't care if I only get 2nd post. The pics are fantastic. I love the kids coming down the slide, Lily with the bandaid on her nose, the kids sitting together in the car seats and Jon with his glasses on (upside down, I think)! I know that with work and the two kids you are really busy, so I understand why it's only once a month! I appreciate all that you do to keep us all in touch.
I love you!

Hi All,
So glad to see the update, it was worth waiting for!!!! Love all the photos and Niki is right these are the cutest kids ever! Thanks soooo much Jen for keeping us close with your website, and I do understand you are busy with work and the kids. I couldn't pick a favorite photo, they are all great. I do love the slide, and Jon looks so happy on his new bike, and as always Lily is such a character in all hers. Again,
THANKS!!!! Love you all and miss you!

I was just telling Ray last week that I need a Lily and Jon fix so thanks for the latest pics and commentary. The kids are too cute!!!

Lily's Birthday Party
These pics are from Lily's FOURTH, third birthday party. She was tired, but had a ball. Thanks Heather for snapping all these pics!
Chillin' With Parker
Presents!
Red Frosting. What Was I Thinking???
Go! Diego, Go!
Just ask Heather. Diego is like a member of our family. Thanks again, Heather, for snapping the crazy pics! Thanks, Nana, for the "Rescue Center".
Rocket
In my spare time I created "Rocket" from the kids favorite show "Little Einsteins". I know, again, what was I thinking? But, I think the kids really enjoyed it and it's still in our living room.
Lily & Courtney Being "Musical"
Happy Birthday Girl

A Story
On the morning of Lily's Birthday Party, I took her to Wally World to look around and get her out of the house. While there she wanted to test out the BIKES. So, off we went and she had fun looking at the girly bikes but really couldn't ride them well. Which is exactly what I expected. She just wasn't strong enough in her legs yet to propel her forward. Finally, I told her, "Here, if you can ride this one down to the end of the isle, I'll buy it for you". Well, she just took off on her little $30, BOYS bike!!! She is now the proud owner. The good news is that Jon will get it next summer (it will be the perfect size for him then) and Lily will get a new girly bike in the next size up (16 Inch). Here's my girl, very proud of her new skill.
Rock Throwing. Another Adventure
And Then, Jon Fell In; Way In
Thank you Daddy for taking the time to rescue him while I got a picture!
1st post! Cute birthday pictures!
Hey, well i have to say that Lily had more b-day parties than any other little girl i know or have known, but thats ok because she is loved so much! I love the pics! Congrats on the new bike, thats awesome!And Jon was way too cute rock throwing, he is getting so big. Keep up the good work, the site always looks great!
love ya!

Wow, third post. Jen those pics are great. Looks like you had a lot of fun. The red frosting was the best, but what were you thinking??? It looks pretty shallow, so how did Jon get so wet? I do understand how hard it is to go places with two kids and only one you, so I guess it was really great that Daddy was with you then. You'd have had to rescue Jon and we wouldn't have the pic! Thanks for sharing. We love you all.

Hi Jennifa
I just checked out Lily's 3rd year page. Too cute! I loved it all, but specially where you had to sell your spare kidney to buy her shoes. Honey, Just so you know, you don't have a spare kidney.
Thank You for all you do to keep us posted. I love you lots!

Hi All,
This update was a fun one! So many great pictures and stories! Looks like Lily had a great 4th 3rd birthday party! And yes, red frosting doesn't look like the best choice, too funny. Lily's bike looks like lots of fun too. And the water adventure looks like fun! Thanks so much for keeping up your site, it is so much fun to see what the kids are up to.
Love Aunt Bev
