One of my favorite things about living in Oxford are the hot air balloons. We see them flying around our house all the time, but this is the closest they've ever come. It was fun watching them (and talking to them!) from our back deck.

Today was the 2nd annual Gilbert Weber Memorial golf outing at Devil's Ridge to benefit MS. Our partners again this year were the Petoskeys. We finished at two under, which is a decent score for us but couldn't touch the winning score of 14 under!!

Today I took Jordyn and Molly to 8th grade orientation. They are now the rulers of the school, with their lockers and classrooms on the elite second floor of the building. Jordyn opened her locker successfully on the second try. A far cry from 6th grade orientation when it took her 20 minutes (and some tears) to figure it out!!

Liam has become infatuated with G.I. Joe. He spent the remainder of his birthday money on new figurines and lined them up on the chair next to his bed before he went to sleep.

What price would you put on this smile? Is it worth $135? Well, that's how much this new flat iron of hers cost me and I think it was worth every penny. Nothing makes a teenage girl quite as happy as a good hair day.

The Burnzi's Hood, was the third place team in the league after regular season play. Tonight was the playoff tournament to determine the overall league winner. And, well, we ended in third place. We had hoped to win the playoffs, but then again, doesn't everyone?

Football season has started again. Pre-season NFL, at high schools and colleges across the country, and, of course, in my very own living room.

Owen is CONSTANTLY asking to have a friend over to play. Today we had Kealey over and Owen let her borrow a pair of swim trunks and a swim shirt so that they could go swimming. Kev stands watch as lifeguard, but, really, I think he's just working on his tan.

Today I went to the doctor to confirm what I had discovered on August 6th. Baby number 4 is on the way. Fortunately, it's not twins! My due date is April 12, 2010, and the doc gave me some Vitamin B suckers to help with the nausea. Here we go again.

This remote was glued to my hands this evening...from the moment I was home from work until the moment I went to bed. Not an ideal way to spend the evening.

Kevin has been gone on a guys' golf weekend since Wednesday. It was so nice to have him back home today so he could make us this delicious meal and complete the picture at our family dinner table. (No, I did not eat all of those ribs on my plate, even though they were indeed delicious!)

Sunset on the lake in my backyard. I spent most of the day chillaxing in the water and soaking up the rays. What a peaceful end to a thoroughly relaxing day.

My hot beyotches. Tonight I took Heidi, Aimee, Lori, and Andrea out for an Oxford Pub Crawl to show them how we party in my neck of the woods. We started at my house, then went to dinner at Victoria's, over to the Tap for a shot (or two), across the street to The Ox for a blueberry martini, over to Casa Real for some margaritas, then on to Vic's 24th Street Tavern for some booty shaking! I was the DD and got all the ladies home to my house safe and sound where everyone crashed. What a fun and memorable night!! A whole lotta love!

My girlfriend, and Delphi co-worker, Laura brought her kids Amanda and Felix out to Hillary Beach today for a mini play date. So fun to catch up and hang out. I could get used to this staying at home thing.
