Sunday pictures

Today was our primary program at church. Next years program will be McGwire's last program and that's a crazy thought. My little guy is not a little guy anymore.

I was so proud that he had his part memorized but the turkey got up there and read it anyway!! UGH!

He did well, no matter.

Lilah, on the other hand, was just as disruptive as ever. Tim took her out for a few moments after sacrament but brought her back when the program started. She lasted most of the meeting but he had to take her out again at the very end.

Wow, I can't get over how much these two are growing. Lilah's little face is really maturing and McGwire 's babyface is long gone as well.

A disappearing act!

Brannon's hair.

Ain't he cute?

Brannon starts his job today. His Paner@ Bread Co. job. His other job starts sometime next week. He went from no job to 2 jobs in record time!

Congradulations, Brannon!!!! We'll be charging you rent soon!! haha

Speaking of Lilahstein....

This little bundle of energy is trying to kill me slowly!

Last week, mom and I were talking and noticed Lilah was a little too quiet.

This, of course, can only mean one thing:

TROUBLE!!!

Boy, were we right!!

There it was....permanent marker all over my floor.

Lucky for her the magic eraser thingy lived up to it's name!

She hid in the cabinet when she realzed I was not too pleased with her.

If that wasn't bad enough, yesterday she rediscovered the markers upstairs and showcased her artistic abilities all over the wall and Mcg's desk!
I am hoping that 2nd magic eraser works as well as the first one did. I haven't had a chance to clean it up yet.




Heaven help me, please!

Showing off Brannons car and a cute little girl!

Here's Lilah in her cute little $10 consignment sale dress! I love it!

Parden the fuzzy spot in the pictures.

My camera is soooo shot! I guess I know what I need for Christmas this year!

She loves all things hockey. I'll be darned if I let Tim sign her up for a team anytime soon, though.




Her face is so blurry here but I love how you can see Brannons car outside the window.

...Which brings me to the car!

Finally!! A picture of Brannons baby.

He is soooooo excited to have a car of his own! Now, if he'll only get the heck out of the house and drive it. I think he's scared of Atlanta traffic. One thing's for sure, he'll never get a speeding ticket. He drives at the speed of someone 8 times his age!!

Here's a pic of Brannons $4 thrift store find. A very nice Ralph Lauren blazer (do they call it a blazer anymore??). The picture does not do it justice. It is in perfect condish and he was stylin' for his interview.

Oh yeah!! One more show-off...I finally got around to painting this hutch. It only took me 7 years. I couldn't find a "before" picture quick enough so I'll just post the "after".

I really like how it turned out.

He's a SMART hockey player!

Our little hockey star made the honor roll last quarter.

Oh yeah, and his team won the championship for the 12 and under leaugue!




We're so proud of him!

Trick or treat

Alright, I know I'm long overdue for a post but this is a good post to start fresh with.

Last week, Tim Mac and Brannon carved pumpkins. I had to work so I didn't get to participate in the carving or the clean-up. What a mess!!! Now I know why we never carved pumpkins when I was growing up.

Anywho, here's the final results.

Here's McGwire's scarey Cheshire cat!

Here's Brannon's AWESOME Mario!!!

And here's Tim cool "Jack the pumpkin"!!!

Those guys are really creative, in my opinion.

Speaking of creative. Tim worked really hard on our Etsy shop and made some great designs. Unfortunately, we didn't do our homework and therefore didn't realize that the shirts other people were selling were professional grade transfer paper applied with a professional heat press and not the cheap H*bby L*bby iron on paper applied with a household iron!!

Thank heavens no one bought a shirt in the week we were actually in business. I don't know if really want to put a lot of money into buying all of the equipment needed to sell these shirts but I really believe that Tim's designs were WAY better that the other sellers out there.

Here's one of the shirts he made.

Here he is hard at work trying to make Lilah's costume.

Lilah went as Lilahstein, Frankensteins' meaner and more destructive little sister.

It didn't turn out exactly as I had planned. Mostly because the shirt was a bit too big.

I didn't get a good picture of it to show, but "Lilahstein" had pigtails with bows that were supposed to be pink but we didn't use the correct type of transfer paper so the bows were more of a greyish color.

I made the tutu which was really simple.

McG's costume fiasco was a different story. We did not want him to go as a gangsta rapper, like he was pushing for, and we also didn't want to spend $40 on a costume that he would wear for about 4 hours total, so Tim took him out late Friday night (yes, the Friday night before halloween) and he settled on being an army guy. He bought a plastic helmet. That's all, just a helmet and I was expected to go out Saturday and get the rest of the outfit.

What the...??

SERENITY NOW!!!!!

Luckily, The very first place I went was a thrift store near the hockey rink and I stumbled upon a real life army jacket that miraculously fit McGwire.

Tim's life and our marriage was spared!

After the church's trunk or treat party, Tim took Lilah and McG trick or treating in a couple of nearby neighborhoods and that just about wore McG out (Tim and Lilah rode in the car while McG walked)!!!

After he could take no more, McGwire flopped down in the car and told Tim, "One soldier down!".

All that walking paid off, though. Look at all of this loot!

Even Lilahstein enjoyed a piece or two!

Thrashers Banquet

Last week, Tim and Mac were invited to a banquet for the Thrashers season ticket holders. Unfortunately for Tim, he is NOT a season ticket holder, but a friend of his is and was nice enough to invite him and McG. He said it was really nice and the players were very friendly. McG got lots of autographs. I wonder if any of the players recognize Tim and McG from all of the games and practices that they go to.
