Don't have time to add all the pics, but here's a teaser of our family photo shoot! My friend, Lynn's, younger sister Kelly is getting into the photography business, so we gave her a shot...she did great!

Gahanna Holiday Lights Parade!

The Gahanna Lights parade was back this year, and the Hague's, Hauser's & Gram were there! The kids seemed to really enjoy being outside & the weather was great!

My Grady boy...he loved the parade! He could do without seeing Santa...BUT, is very much looking forward to Santa bringing gifts!




Our Chase-monster...He just wanted to run & be free...and dance to the Xmas music!

Miss Samantha (as Uncle Nick calls her)...she loves to get her picture taken! And she loved the parade too!

The girls!!!
*including the baby girl in Aunt Lauren's belly!

Gram & Nick!

Happy Thanksgiving 2011!!

Happy Thanksgiving! My dad made another delicious turkey this year, and we hosted both our families at our house! We ate, played games & visited! It was a great time!

Dad & his bird!





Grady was SO tired, I put him to bed at 7:30pm...when Nick and I came up at 11pm, this is where we found Grady...in our doorway! He was so delirious, he didn't remember doing this in the morning :)

Happy 10th Birthday Lola!!!!

In March 2002, Nick and I adopted our Lola-girl from the Humane Society. And believe it or not, she is 10 yrs old!!! Nick always says it's the best $50 we ever spent. She is such a good dog, and has always been a loving animal to us & the boys. I think some part of her knows her fate could have been different.

Lola got a birthday Christmas tree cake for her birthday, and we sang "Happy Birthday"!

She devoured it!!! of course...

Grady loves a good birthday celebration, so he was very into this event!

Thanksgiving Feast!

Today was Grady's Thanksgiving feast at school! I was the classroom mom, and Grady was THRILLED I was staying! He doesn't do well with the special events (out of his routine), so he was super happy I was there to see him through this event! It was a really cute day, and half the kids at school were pilgrims, and the other half were indians, and each class sat across from each other so the groups could mingle & snack!

My little Indian!

Grady & Ms. Lori...they have a special relationship, and are very close!

Grady's gal pal, Ella, and her feast!

Their "feast" consisted of goldfish, popcorn, raisens & pumpkin bread...so sweet!

Chase's Birth Day Fun!!

Today is my sweet Chase's actual birthday!! Since Grady had school, I wanted to do something special just for him!

His morning birthday picture! He seemed to get it was a special day

After taking him to Target to pick out a gift, I took him to a playground since it was gorgeous out!

After Grady got out of school, we went to daddy's work to pick him up for lunch at Wendys!

Birthday kiss from Daddy!

Chase's 2nd Birthday Party!

For Chase's 2nd Birthday we had a party at Graeters Ice Cream, and the party was a great success...LOTS of kids, cake & play time! Chase really had a wonderful party, and he especially loved being sung to! Love him so much!!!

Party go-ers in the party room...there was also an indoor play area, which the kids loved!

Uncle Scott made cupcakes as going away favors...they were delicious!

All the kids singing "happy birthday"!

Happy Halloween!!

GREAT Halloween this year! Grady and Chase were both into Trick-or-Treating, and while Grady would not go to the SCARY houses, he did not want to stop! Chase looked so cute running down the street in his cape, and he kept trying to give people candy instead of taking it. Really enjoyed it!

How cute is this!?

My baby dracula...Handsome!

Mommy and Chase!

Gram and Grady! She ended up taking Grady to some extra houses, since Grady wanted to keep going.
