this post is very late...

The Notre Dame vs. Michigan game this year was awesome. We lost but it was neck and neck and nail biting right to they very end. We went and watched it with my sister and BIL at their friends house. They always make a big deal about it so its always fun with them.This year me and the kids wore our jerseys and it worked out great because we each had a different color. All was well until Johnny was convinced by my sister that he should be a Michigan fan. So now he no longer roots for ND :( But he had fun nonetheless.  Here is our photo gallery from that night :)

This is her GO ND! face! LOL

love this girl!

before he turned traitor LOL

Shara was one of 4 fans rooting for MI

this was the aftermath LOL (note that his shirt is inside out. because he decided he didnt like ND anymore)

Xan Man!

Xander had his birthday on the 2nd. I cannot believe he's 1. It seems like yesterday I was impatiently waiting for his arrival. And I think its hard because I know that Celia's is right around the corner. And then Shara's baby will be making his/her appearance. They grow up way to fast...

So we have a new car. An '03 impala. Nothing fancy but it runs way better than the van did. So this weekend we are going to Thistleberry Farms to pick a pumpkin and play. Then I want to go apple picking because I think Johnny will LOVE it. And because I want to make all kinds off apple goodies :) And Sunday we can actually go to the pond again. Its been too long...

And as for the kids, Cece has been saying mama, dada, and bubba consistently for a few weeks. The only one I think she really knew the meaning of was dada. She would say it incessantly as soon as he walked in the door. He loved it.  Now she looks at me and says momma. I'm glad :) So here is a ton of pics since my last couple of posts were photo free.

She's such a good baby :)

She was hamming it up for the camera.

He was trying to avoid getting his picture taken.

Her pretty dress :)

Stink face!

Her "trouble" look

He lets her pull his hair LOL. He's a good brother.

Me and my gorgeous girl...

I absolutely LOVE this pic of her. She was trying to sneak and grab my keys.

I love her eyes

She's been standing against the coffee table and trying to grab it all off.

We went to Danielle and Andy's and she was refusing to smile when the camera was out
