1.) My favorite little man has a birthday coming up!! :)
2.) FALL is here!!
September was a very busy, but wonderful month!! We celebrated some very special birthdays. :)
My brother, Chris, turned the big 3-0 in August! We never got to celebrate due to conflicting schedules, so we celebrated in September.
It was so fun spending time with my family and celebrating my brudder's birthday!!
We enjoyed a delicious cake I picked up at Whole Foods...
I got to thinking about how EVERYONE gets "Happy Birthday" written on their birthday cakes and wanted Chris to remember his cake, so....
Needless to say, I am sure payback is waiting around the corner. HAHA.
Chris blowing out his candles...
The cake was REALLY good! It was a white cake with fresh berries and Chantilly Frosting. Eli LOVED it!
Making faces while eating his cake...
This is my favorite pic of the day...
I love you very much brother!! We had so much fun celebrating your birthday!! xoxo

We also celebrated another August birthday in September: Mom Brenner's birthday!
Alison and David were so sweet to have us all over to celebrate. :) David cooked an AMAZING dinner--roast, potatoes, fresh baked bread--mmmmm... it was really nice!
Eli was fascinated because they have STAIRS. We do not have stairs at our house, so Eli thinks stairs are the coolest thing in the world when he sees them.
So thank you Auntie Alison and Uncle David for keeping the "Danger Zone" closed off--HAHA.
I am ashamed to say I didn't take photos other than Eli at the stairs. I thought about it as soon as I got in the car to head home.
I was happy Bob sent me this pic of Grammy in her apron (present from Eli)...
Happy Birthday Grammy!!! We had fun celebrating!! :)

On September 26th, a very special little lady turned 2.... Sweet Sara!!
Eli had the best time at Sara's birthday party!!
They played in the pool...
They wrote with chalk...
They dug in the dirt...
They threw grass at each other...
They chased each other around trees...
And clearly they had a lot to talk about... (haha)
My little "Romeo" picked Sara a flower and handed it to her! Mommy has quite a little charmer on her hands....
Eli, Sara and Mason had fun playing together too! :)
Here they are banging on the garage door. Loud is fun! HAHA.
Haylie (Mason's big sister) is soooo good with the little ones! I can't wait until she is old enough to babysit. :)
Haylie and Eli...
Eli appreciates you fixing his cool shades, Haylie...
Anne, Sara, Eli and I...
Anne, Sara, Me, Eli, Stacy, Mason and Haylie...
Sara had such a lovely party!!
Everything was pretty in pink :)
Happy 2nd Birthday Sara!!
Along with the fun stuff, work stuff has been busy too. We are already coming to a close on our 1st 9 weeks of school!
I really LOVE being back in Second Grade--it is truly where my heart is at. I just love that age. :) Also, my team ROCKS, so that is an added bonus. :)
It is that time of year where it is crazy at work and I am pretty overwhelmed, so a good laugh is always appreciated. Well, I am walking around monitoring my kiddos the other day and 2 of my students took it upon themselves to make little signs...
That made my morning. :)

Sweet Eli is now 23 MONTHS OLD! Eek!! My baby boy is almost TWO!! He just amazes me...every day it is something new. I could just sit and watch him all day long. :)
Here is Eli's 23 MONTHS OLD chair photo...
Here are some things Eli is doing at 23 MONTHS OLD:
*Eli now likes to help with chores--unloading the dishwasher, brings Lulu her food--and is VERY excited to help. :)
*Eli really loves Lulu and now will check her water and food bowls. He will tell me "Need more" when her bowls are empty. It's vey sweet. :)
*Eli associates all things Charlie has with "Dada." For example, if we see a pair of boots (like Charlie's) in the store or a shirt (like Charlie's), Eli will say, "That's Dada's!"
*He is sleeping about 10 solid hours a night with a 2 hour nap during the day.
*Eli LOVES the outside! He would play outside all day long if you let him.
*He is fascinated by trucks, cars, balls, Elmo and Mickey Mouse.
*Eli gets worried during sad parts of books and movies. He will say "Oh no!"
*He now says HIS name! He has said the names of all of his friends, but never his until now. He now says, "E-yi" and it is sooo cute! :)
*He now responds with "Yes!" (HALLELUJAH!) The answer was always "No" for a longgg time, so this is exciting! Haha.
I just love this sweet little guy...
