Now and Then

So I was cleaning house today and came accross this picture and I just had to share. I had it blown up out of a Magic Mountian key chain a few years back. I know that Lauren and Jill will really get a kick out of it =) As I sat and stared at it I realized that it was taken 16 years ago - HOLY COW!! Where have the years gone?? Don't ya just love Phil's crooked hat and tight rolled jeans??!! =)

I am adding a recent picture that Tanner took at while we were in Pismo this summer - Man - how times have changed!!!

Friday Night Football

So Friday was Keaton's birthday. He was super excited - as I mentioned earlier this week =) We decided that we would go to the High School Fooball game, as a family, on Friday night. I mean hey - it was number 1 playing number 2 - we had to go. Besides that Tanner's whole team was going and he was getting in for free. They were going to sit as a team. We arrived at 6:45 to drop Tanner off with his teammates - he quickly wanted nothing to do with us. We left him there and headed to the game. When we finally decided where we were going to sit we realized that we were sitting 1 row below the Martins. Keaton was so excited - He hadn't seen Justin in a while. Then the DiFuria's arrived- This is Keaton's bestest buddy Nick's family. So Keaton was feeling like he was having a pretty special birthday. Phil bought Keaton a foam finger on our way into the game- I knew things would get crazy with that finger. Once his friends saw that he had one they quickly talked their parents into getting one too. They had a great time!! We had a great family night out. Phil watched the game, I critiqued the cheerleaders, Keaton played with his buddies, and Tanner wandered with his friends and pretended that we didn't exist =)

We Were Featured!!

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with Etsy.com - but that is who Laurie and I have our website through. If you are not familiar with the site it is kind of like a giant craft fair online. I love it because you can always find really unique gifts. On Etsy's home page they have various items and sellers that they feature throughout the day. Yesterday our little ghost was featured!!! We were so excited! It brought a lot of traffic through the site. We are having so much fun with this and are really enjoying coming up with new creations each day. I just had to share our excitement and some of our favorite creations.

Yellow Card

So I don't have a picture to go with this post, but felt I should share. Keaton's birthday is on Friday. I e-mailed his teacher to find out how many kids are in the class and to find out what treat would be best to send. She e-mailed me back letting me know that she was very aware that his birthday was this Friday. "He is so EXCITED!!!!! So excited that he can't stop talking about it and had to turn his card to yellow today" she informed me. Oops - what would you expect from Keaton. To top it off - he didn't even tell us about it - we had to pry it out of him. He had no problem telling Tanner as soon as he finished football practice. "Hey Tanner - I turned my card today" All proud - like it was a right of passage. Man - what are we going to do with this kid???!!!
