Labor Day weekend was a blast! We had so much fun together as a family! I know that I look forward to this weekend every year (okay, who am I kidding, when I'm working I look forward to ANY day off and I am always excited when Matt has an extra day off with us), as it's the last weekend of summer. Matt and I LOVE fall, so I am looking forward to fun fall adventures in our future for the upcoming months!
Monday dawned, around 6:30 am when Matt brought Cassius to our bed. Poor guy, he's not feeling so well, so Daddy picked him up and brought him up for some Mommy and Daddy cuddles while the girls were sleeping. After the girls got up, we ate breakfast and then had to head off to pick up my camera that I had accidently left at the Fatzinger's after Caroline's Birthday Party (I know, I cannot believe I did that)...but it turned out in our favor. Not wanting to leave Cassius alone, we loaded the Boxers in the back of the SUV and all went to get the camera. I asked Keith for a park recommendation and he sure did deliver! WE had to so so much fun at the park (that was completely fenced in) AND we had it to ourselves..even more fun!
Miss Olivia enjoying the park.....
Mr. Clay at the park......
The girls and their Daddy.....
WELL, we attempted to get some pictures of the girls together...ONE of these days they'll both be looking AND smiling....but I won't hold my breath as to when that will be! :)
Miss Sydney Enjoying the park!!!
ON Sunday, we spent the afternoon/evening with the girls' BFF (Caroline), celebrating her 2nd Birthday..it was a BLAST....so, since it was HER party, I decided to feature Miss Caroline FIRST in the section about her birthday.....
SYdney and Olivia after we arrived at Caroline's party...they LOVED her sand table filled with pasta and fun things to put it in and play with...GREAT idea b/c sand is nasty and get's grimy to fast. Ick...Pasta noodles, PERFECT to play with, but we did have a hard time keeping them from eating the uncooked noodles. oops..totally my fault since I sometimes give them an uncooked noodle or two to play with while I am making them "NOODLES" as Olivia often demands for dinner!
MIss Olivia...Playing around at the party...
MIss Sydney......
Caroline had a bounce house for her party, and it was so so much fun! Both girls LOVED it!

In the morning, before Caroline's Party, the girls' went over to visit their favorite person in our neighborhood...Mr. Bob...and Andy and Angie....Mr. Bob and his wife have the best kids ever, I hope he knows that!
WE like to play wiffel ball at Angie and Andy's house........
I just love the look of pure GLEE in Sydney's face as she chases after Olivia in this picture, absolutely adorable!
Some of our best pictures come from Bob's backyard!
So, if you know us, then you know that we are Mizzou fans....thanks to Daddy...and therefore we are required to wear our MU wear on game days....
The last weekend in August we went to the Festival Of Nations...so much fun! HEre are some pics of Matt and the girls....
A 30% off coupon at Old Navy, netted us these adorable MU shirts that same weekend...when I brought them home and showed them to Matt and the girls, the girls DEMANDED to wear their 'tiger' shirts....Sydney had a hard time giving hers up..thus the picture of her outside in it....too bad it was 90. OH well, she was happy!
Olivia monkeying around.....
Our new favorite thing in the whole world to do is dress up....hats in our mind count as dressing up....so here we are, all dressed up and no where to go....
Olivia in her light up flip flops from Nana for dress up too....
Sydney....
THE weekend before that we went over to Grandma Pat's house with Uncle MIke and Aunt 'Zomi for dinner...
