Lindsey took this pic of Michael.....pretty good, I think! 

Cheese! 

This a test....just a test.

Warning: Babies are even cuter than they appear.

Sorry that I am bombarding you all with excess photos, I can't seem to choose which to post. I have about 50 others I could add, but controlled myself:) Little Natalie has such fair skin, you can really notice where she has scratched herself. Enjoy.

How can you not want to nibble on this baby?  

Giving her bunny love. 

Playtime! 

Just hanging in the backyard. 

A close up of that shiner. 

What? Another pic....come on, Mommy! 

Had to do it. 

I received my "prize" today! It feels so good to get something other than bills and when it's jewelry.....that's even better. I also loved how she packaged it. Isn't the braclet pretty? Thanks Dana! Check out her blog here.

Apple Annie's

We had so much fun. Sunday, we went to a cute farm in Wilcox. Lindsey had the most fun, I think. Apples are her favorite fruit, after all. Michael did well....once he warmed up. You know I have about a hundred photos.....so sorry for the excess pics.


***Michael's haircut-----hey, it was my 1st try!

***Michael's black eye---he met the sofa table.

In typical Lindsey fashion.......as soon as she picked her first apple, she bit into it.  

Father & son goofing around. 

Not so sure that Michael liked picking the apples, as much as, Daddy lifting him high into the air! 

Lindsey enjoyed picking apples w/Daddy. 

Tyler prepared to start picking. 

My favorite. I think I will frame it. 

Brother & sister........I love how they are both looking back. 

Can you handle her cuteness? 

I can't seem to control myself. 

After my attempt at a haircut. 

It doesn't take much to make me happy.......

I went to Target and got Scotch tape.....a 3 pack w/1 doublesided pack for $.74!!!! Do you believe that? I stocked up, because I cannot stand paying $3 or more for tape at Christmas time. I always run out when it isn't on sale......so I stocked up! Oh yeah, also found 3 ring binders for $.24, index cards for $.11, and 2 pack children's scissors for $.37. It was a great day........too bad the scrapbooking stuff couldn't be that cheap!

Birth Announcements

With so many babies being born, I thought I would show off Natalie's birth announcement and encourage anyone looking for announcements to check out this site. When I ordered from them it was more of a custom design, but now they have set designs. Which I think is better, because I had the hardest time picking out ours from a hundred different designs.

Oh yeah, wasn't she a little doll? They change so much!

Natalie's birth announcement. 

Our thank you notes. 

I actually won something!

I entered a fun contest on Dana's blog. She has some beautiful jewelry and I won some of it! Well, not some of it, a braclet. It's so pretty! You don't understand, I never win at contests......Woohoo!

Lindsey talking about her day at preschool. I just love this girl! 

You know fall has arrived...when you see large quantities of candy corn in the store aisles! Yummy! 

Happy Birthday Aunt Nancy!!!!

Wish we could be there to celebrate with you! Have a wonderful day!

So much to talk about.......

Here's a recap.
Happy belated birthday, Christine. We love ya!

Kristal got married on August 25th. Congratulations to you and your hubby!

Dan, our brother-in-law, celebrated a birthday on September 11th. Hope it was a good one!

I received my "pink" envelope! So much fun, dreaming of a Pink Christmas. Check it out here. I love her blog. So many fun, creative ideas!

My cousin won $85,000 in the New York State lottery! So glad to know that SOMEONE really wins! I am so happy for him.

Did anyone see the new show, Men in trees? I loved it......how am I going to fit it in? I have to
see Grey's Anatomy(of course), Medium, and ER. Wish I had Tivo. Shoot, I wish I had cable!

4 out of 6 Scavos are still trying to recover from a serious cold! Tyler and Natalie are more alike than we realized!

We have termites......They will be here Saturday to collect their $1400, yikes!

As soon as we find out about the termites, the pool pump went. For those keeping a total, that's $1700 in one day.

Wait, we aren't done........the dishwasher called it quits. I have to find one that I like.

Yesterday our mailbox fell off the post, so that had to be replaced.

Natalie has enjoyed 4 new foods.....squash, carrots, sweet potatoes and apples.

Michael jumps from the top of his Little Tyke slide holding his nose/mouth and yells cannonball!
Tyler is a 6th grader and he's not happy about it!

My good friend, Stacy, is so creative. I wish I had a drop of her talent. Check out her blog of goodies here.

I bought the new Nelly Furtado and I really like it!



My family has been touched by breast cancer. Once several years ago and luckily, she is cancer-free. And now, we have been touched again. I want her to know that she has more strength than she realizes. I am proud of the way she is handling what has been dealt to her. She is a true inspiration to me. I love you!

Relaxing in the backyard.
