Carving Pumpkins

Enjoying time on our back deck, carving pumpkins and getting ready for Halloween!

Happy Birthday Mommy

The boys decorated a cake and made lots of art projects to start the day with love and sugar! Mommy and Daddy had a night out for an Argentinean steak dinner and Avenue Q show.

Best Friends

We love our visits up north to the Waterman's house.  The kids have a blast together and have tons of space to play inside and out.

Brotherly Love??? NOT!!!

C'mon boys, it is a BOX, just a box. A free, stupid BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personality PLUS: videos of Radley!

Brex had 3 years of blog posts all to himself, so we have some making-up-to-do with Radley. Here are a few videos that capture his serious and funny and energetic personality. We could not possibly love this little blondie any more!
{*towhead: a head of white-blond hair resembling tow-the fiber of flax, hemp, Since flax is light in color, blond people (especially children) are sometimes referred to as “towheads” or “towheaded,” expressions first recorded in the 19th century}

Miller's Lake House Celebration

We had been looking forward to a return visit to Jim & Karen's lake house for an entire year. We had perfect weather this time and so much fun with family and friends. Jim also put on an awesome firework display to celebrate the 4th of July! This was the last time we will see the "Westlake Millers" before they become the "Tampa Millers" and can't wait to visit them in Florida this winter!!

Independence Day Parade and Last Day of Montessori School

Happy Birthday America! Brex had a 4th of July parade on his last day at Parkview Montessori school. He is going to take July and August off for summer break and spend quality time at the park with Radley.  We will miss his friends and teachers Miss Josie and Miss Beatrice, but look forward to brother time and we're excited for the new chapter at St. Clement School in Sept.

Lil Sluggers

Brex probably won't be the 1st of the Miller or Stacey families to dominate in soccer.  We're taking a break from kicking and are focused on hitting, catching, throwing and running the bases at Lil Sluggers.  He wants to be just like his hero -- cousin Macklin!

And Radley wants to be just like his hero -- big brother Brex!

Brex Art & Music Camp at St. Clement

Brex spent a week at camp at his new school. He spent a few hours working on art and music, then a brown bag lunch in the cafeteria and then a few more hours of get-ready-for-preK.  He had a blast in the classrooms, gym and especially on the rooftop playground.

If your happy summers comin, clap your hands...haaaa-pee, were happy, happy, happy!!
