Lucy's 1st Birthday!

It's hard to believe that a whole year has gone by! Little precious Lulu is a year old! On Sunday we celebrated Lucy's first birthday and Andrew and Heidi hosted the best birthday celebration. Heidi's parents even joined us in the Happy Birthday song and opening of gifts via Skype which we awesome! Soooo...the two newest members of the family, Tyler and Lucy are now one! Now what?!?!? I can't believe it!!

Happy Birthday Lucy!!! We love you soooo much!

Jackson & Sammy's 3rd b-day parties

As most of you know, there four boys born all around the same time in 2006 of which we named the "06 Boys". Jackson & my nephew Sammy were the first two of the four to turn 3 in October. Scott will be in November and then Mason in December. Jackson had his annual Halloween Costume Party for his birthday and we took the kids to Ryan & Larry's for the birthday party. Scott dressed up as Scooby Doo & Olivia dressed up as Velma from Scooby Doo but when she saw people there that she didn't know, she got embarrassed and took the wig off and wouldn't wear it so you can't really tell what she is.

The next day we celebreated Sammy's birthday at Bestema & Papa's house. Happy Birthday boys! :)

Harris Hill Farm

I think we are going to make this place (Harris Hill Farm) our yearly Fall tradition for pumpkin picking. I absolutely LOVE this place. The view from way up on this mountain is breath taking and you actually pick your pumpkins from the "patch"! They have a corn maze, the hayride and the cutest farm animals that are beautiful and so well taken care of. This year my mom, Titi, Marissa and I took the kids. We had only been year one year before which was the year we took the photo for Scott & Mason's 1st birtday party invitation. So that was 2 years ago. We got a bunch of pumpkins for a great price and of course delicious corn on the cob! Enjoy...and the best season of the year has officially begun! :)

BesteMa is back!

Signy got back from Norway a few weeks ago so we all went to BesteMa & Papa's house for a BBQ and the kids got to enjoy some swimming at their house on the last day of the pool being opened! The kids were all so excited to have her back...and so were we! I got some really cute pics of the 4 Spiegel kiddies.

Olivia is now in first grade!!! She is still in Center School and after first grade she will move on to Huckleberry, the Elementary School for 3 years! Olivia's first day of school was the first day Scott got to bring his lunch to Ms. Eileen's in his new SpiderMan lunch box! Every year I have to post Olivia's previous years pictures so we can just prove that she really is growing and growing!

Tyler's 1st Birthday

Wow, time sure has gone by way too fast! We celebrated Tyler's 1st birthday last weekend and had a party for him at Laura's. I can not believe he is already a year old. He is walking and everything and sure is the most handsome little man ever! Love you Tyler! :)

Well, it has been a long time since I have updated my blog! It's summer time!! We had a slow start to summer with the temperature. We hadn't even had to turn on the AC's until just a couple of weeks ago, but we are now being blasted with the 90 degree weather every day. Summer has been busy and fun. The kids have been going to Ms. Eileen's on Tues & Thurs which has been great. Scott is now completely potty trained...a BIG thank you to Ms. Eileen. He absolutely loves going there and has a blast every day. Olivia has been enjoying going there as well and gets to do all of the things that she loves, gardening and everything nature! It has been a good thing for her to get to experience Ms. Eileen's this summer. Mom is taking care of the kids M, W, and Fri.

I was off all last week so we got to house sit for Titi and spend every day at the pool. Ryan & Jackson came down for 2 days and spent those days with us. We took a trip to the beach at Silver Sands in Milford one day. On Thursday the kids and I packed up and headed up to Ryan's for a few days. We took the kids to the movies (Scott's first movie ever!) We then headed off to the beach again as well...Ocean City Beach in New London. So much fun! Here are some photos of our summer so far. We had a few lake trips in there as well with Ryan & Jackson too.

We were also able to get the 06 boys together again all at once for a photo op since they were 6 months old! I can't believe it. Of course they weren't as cooperative as they were when they were 6 months old, so we got one picture! Oh well, what can you do...they are boys! :) Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Can't believe school starts in 2 weeks and Olivia heads off to 1st grade!
