Pumpkin Time

We took the kids to Trax on Friday evening to get pumpkins. I love Autumn!

My sweet little devil

I'v always been told boys are so different from girls. Having only a girl for 5 and a half years, I didn't really understand the true meaning of this statement. Yes I have 4 nephews that I spend a good amount of time with, but nothing prepared me for Kieran. He is a monster of his own kind. So full of energy and rotten to the core. Halo held up by devil horns. That is my little boy.

Earlier today we were watching TV together. He gets off my lap, goes and turn off the Tv, walks back over to me with his "kissy" face for me to give him kisses, then walks back over to the TV stand and turns on the radio so he can dance.




He then turns to me and yells "Mamba" (this is his name for me when he's really excited) and does a little jig. Which means, "Mama, dance with me". Then walks back over to me with his "kissy" face again, for more kisses.


I had the camera with me on the couch, trying to get a picture of his "kissy" face, so I documented the entire thing, as I was taking pictures he tried to steal the camera from me.


Oh so rotten but so sweet too. Maybe he's like the one character on Heroes with the alter ego? That's some food for thought.

Marvelous Marra

Marra got her cheer uniform tonight!! She is cheering on an all competitive team, she is the youngest on the team and doing an awesome job hanging with the "big" kids.

Best Chocolate on Earth

Now taking Sarris Christmas Candy orders.

If you need a list and prices let me know.

We will ship to you if you don't live close.

If you don't already know, take my word for it, Sarris has the best Chocolate on Earth!

Picture Day

We got the kids pictures taken on Friday.

Marra is 6 and a half and Kieran is 16 months.

Kieran was a total monster as you might be able to tell by some of the pics and Marra still wasn't 100% after being sick all week. Oh well, those are the things you remember most so why not have pictures to keep those memories fresh :)

Post Card Mania

Marra's class is doing a long term Social Studies project. They will be comparing and reading various maps, including maps of the United States. As part of their lesson they would like to collect post cards from as many states as possible. If you live in a different state than us, or if you will be traveling to a different state please grab a post card and send it to Marra's class. You don't have to put a long message, or any message at all, although it would be nice if you put your name, and relationship to Marra.

Please send it to:

Mrs.Brendel's First Grade Class
125 Thoms Run Road
Bridgeville, PA 15017

They will be collecting post cards through January.

Thank you!!

Marra Cheer

Just thought I'd share with you what Scott, Marra, and I have been doing with our time.

This weekend I took some pics of the gymnasts and cheerleaders at the gym we are at. I still have to do pics for Marra's team, and I will post them once I have them done.

On October 20th the gym will be hosting a Night at the Races. If you are able to come we would love to have you join us, tickets are $15/person. If you are unable to come but would still like to help our fundrasier, we have "horses" available to purchase, $10/horse, and if your horse wins you can still win money even if you aren't in attendance that night. If any of this interestes you please e-mail me or Scott and we'll give you more details. This is for the 21 and over crowd, although I've never been to one I am told they are loads of fun and I am very excited to go this year!!

Marra Shae

Well Marra started school on August 30. But this week she decided it would be fun to miss the whole week.
Or not so much...
My poor little girl has a double ear infection and strep throat. And to top that off on Monday I recieved a grade two concussion during cheerleading practice and I am still feeling a little loopy from that.
What a great pair we are this week. But we are just going along with the standard set by my nephew, Elijah last week. He had his first ever asthma attack that landed him in the hospital over night. They are still trying to figure out how to get things under controll for him.
So please remember my family in your prayers, not just the Mizikars but the Thompsons as well.

First Post: End of summer

So this is my first post...

I decided this is an easier way of doing things than sending out "update e-mails" every time one of my kids does something especially cute.

As summer vacation comes to a close, unlike most parents, I am saddened to see Marra go back to school. Summer was a lot of fun this year.

We just got back from a week of sun and sand south of Myrtle Beach in Litchfield Beach/Pawley's Island. The week was spent not only with hubby/Scott, daughter/Marra, and son/Kieran, but also with my mom/Mama Lou, dad/Pappy Jim, sister/Bre, brother in law/Adam, their three boys Elijah,Peanut, and Jo-Jo, my sister in law/Kelly and two of her kids Ethan and Alanna.

The week went by way too fast and now that we are home we have been slapped with the reality of the real world, School is starting.

Marra is recovering from her week at the beach by sitting in front of the TV and watching whatever she wants. Marra was an only child for 5 years, this past year has been a big change for her learning to share mommy and daddy with Kieran, so a week of sharing everything with 6 other kids took it's toll on Princess Marra.

Kieran has spent the last few days carrying around a play sword and making swooshing sounds with it, as well as trying to rough up his sister more than he did before we left for vacation. Kieran has spent the first year of his life primarily with females, with having a big sister and all the cheerleaders. The week at the beach was spent getting roughed up by his 4 boy cousins and "fighting" with uncle Adam and Daddy as well as watching many sword fights. It was good for my boy, gotta toughen him up a bit!

So as we end the summer of 07, my little princess is becoming a big first grader, and my baby is turning into a real boy... sigh.
