Confirmed

So, it is confirmed. I have the two cutest kids ever!! I am so excited. I just signed Morgan up for her first dance class. I know that she isn't even two yet (next month) but I just can't wait anymore. Of course she needed some dance outfits and shoes. Once I bought them I just couldn't wait until Thursday to put them on her. As soon as she woke up from her nap we had a little dance fashion show. She loved it! She twirled and pointed her toes and clapped. I think that I have the next "So You Think You Can Dance" star on my hands. I really can't until Thursday!

I also signed Garrett up for his first soccer league. He has taken soccer classes for about a year but now he will play in games and become the next David Beckham. The little soccer socks with built in shin-guards are awesome. He loves them. Now he has an excuse to kick and not get in trouble.

Again, it has been confirmed. The masses have spoken (well at least Ryan and I) Our kids are totally adorable. I challenge any parent to find cuter kids! Stay tuned for future blogs with action photos.

Rose Bowl Champs

So this year Ryan and I made the decision not to get each other anything for Christmas and instead spend the money going on a trip--of course the kids totally scored because they got gifts and a trip. We absolutely made the right decision. Our beloved Buckeyes made it to the Rose Bowl and we have a good friend who was able to get us tickets to the game. We ended up getting 6 tickets so we took Grandpa Mike and Grandma Dorothy. We have done the LA thing a few times so we decided to base ourselves out of Santa Barbara. It was fabulous!!! The weather was perfect and a hotel right on the beach was wonderful for our 2 little beach babies. Garrett and Morgan love the beach so they were in heaven. Morgan kept pointing to the ocean from our hotel room saying, "A big fish." Of course the whole extravaganza was complimented by an outstanding Ohio State victory. What 4 and 2 year old do you know, get to go to the Rose Bowl?? Lucky little fetchers. Morgan looked too cute in her Ohio State cheerleader outfit. I started counting how many people asked me if they could take her picture. I think the number totaled about 15. She is in photo albums across America now. Garrett is a total ladies man. At the end of the game we were waiting for everyone to file out and Garrett scooted over to a few Ohio State co-eds and laid on the charm. They thought he was adorable. He would fit right into a frat house. It was kind of a crazy experience. Parking for the game was right on the golf course--I literally mean on the golf course. Imagine thousands of cars tailgating on the golf course. Crazy. A vendor came by that was painting faces so Morgan and I got matching "O's"--$10 a face, but isn't it all part of the experience? Later Morgan fell asleep on Ryan and most of her "O" rubbed off. All and all the kids were really good during they game--but how can you not be when you have lemonade ice, cotton candy, hot dogs, soda pop, m&m's, Airheads, peanuts etc? Anyone could be happy with that kind of calorie count. Here are a few of our pics from our New Year's trip. GO BUCKS!!!
