Jeremy's 31st Birthday

Adam and Jeremy hung out while we waited for everyone to arrive.Here comes Sydney...with Mommy and Daddy right behind her! What a big girl. :-)There's the cutest Nephew in the whole world! Ian!





Sydney and Jewels looking as cute as can be!



Aunt Andrea and our girls!

We all love little Ian!
We finally got around to singing Jeremy his Happy Birthday song and LOVED the cake and ice cream. :-D

It was a great night of visiting and fun.

Potsdam Carnival 2005

The girls rode with my parents Ray and Dorene (aka...Nanny and Papa). :-) We are very lucky to have both sides of our family in one town.


Our little fam on our way in!


Adam getting tickets for the rides.

The girls have chosen their first ride. The fun slide!



Down they come! :-)
Nanny stays to take pictures of Alex and Adam on the next ride, the ferris wheel. While Papa and I took Sam over to the spinning ferris wheel. :-)
We were trying to keep the rides mild because we just finished Ponderosa...we weren't really thinking...or we would have eaten after the rides...not before. :-D


So, we started moving on to faster rides...and I joined the girls on the tempest...and this was my last ride, I was sick the rest of the night. :-) I'm getting old!



As the night progressed...it got cold. Papa and Alex snuggled to keep warm.

I gave Alex my fleece shirt to stay warm...and Papa gave me his jacket. :-) Adam offered his shirt...but that would have left him in a t-shirt and shorts :-O so, I took the jacket. :-)

Sam is on the Scat. The ride that both girls liked the most.


Alex and Sam side by side.


While standing and waiting for them to ride the skat, we were pleasantly surprised with fireworks! They were just fantastic. We stood and watched them while the girls rode the Scat again and again. :-)




The girls were watching them too, while waiting to get back on the ride.



Just a picture of the crowd and booths.
An overview of the Carnival!
Alex rode the dragon ride by herself.
Adam caught another picture of the fireworks. (Believe it or not...it's harder than you think with a digital camera! :-D)




Alex was ready to make that dragon swirl! :-)
Alex went on the swings. They were really fast!
Adam, Papa, and Sam visiting while Alex rides.




This is the swirling ferris wheel that Sam and I rode earlier in the night. Sam decided she had to go back on it and make it go all the way around. Alex decided she would help Sam! :-)







And sure enough they did! Over and over again. They were very proud of themselves! :-D






We had a wonderful night! It was great fun and great memories with Nanny and Papa. :-D

First Day of School

This is right before we left for school! They were very excited!


They are getting older now and refused to let me go into the school....'It's embarrassing', SO...I took them as they went in! :-D




I went in to drop off some paperwork for the nurse and took the opportunity to snap a few shots of the outside of Alex's classroom. For some reason I can't upload the one I took of Sam's. I will try later.


But I did see them both and they are doing good their first day! :-) Can't wait to hear all about their day.
