AKA Tina Neil.
Let me say first that I know it seems that my children never have clothes on, but they normally do I promise. I took this video tonight as they were getting ready to go get their baths.

We are back!
Happy Fall! I love this time of year, even though we never seem to have enough time to do everything we want.
We took the kids to the fair the other night and spent about 2 hours there before the rain started. We did have a blast running to the truck in the rain. Well Adam and the kids had a blast... I was very much aware that I was "one of those parents".. You know the ones; those parents that keep their young children up past bedtime and then run around in the pouring down rain with no umbrellas, and no jackets. Oh yeah, that was me the other night. Totally unprepared.
I sometimes wonder if I have a fair curse though. Remember a few years back, Tina and Hunter BOTH threw up before we were able to go to the fair and then my car battery died at the same time.
We are going back this weekend after church, so I'll be sure to add some new pictures later.

Soccer
We had our first soccer game this weekend. The weather was perfect, the kids were a delight, and it was a good time to be had by all. 
Ahhhh seems it is hereditary.. i.e the sticking out of the tounge while doing anything athletic. Sorry kids.

Well it has been awhile
Things never seem to slow down for the Neils. It has been a long time since I last updated so I'm going to do my best to give a quick recap of the past few months.
We have taken a few trips to the beach as a family and enjoyed ourselves so much. I think this next year we will be taking many more little vacations.
Both kids are in school now. Tina is in Kindergarten and Hunter started PreK. They both LOVE school. I put a few pictures from the first day of school. They are both doing very well in school and we are still very pleased with our choice to send them to Sacred Heart.
Grandma and Grandpa Neil just left from a visit and they are missed terribly. They were able to be part of the Grandparents day celebration at the school. I've included a few pictures from that day.
Tina and Hunter are also both on the same soccer team this year. It is so funny to watch them running after those balls and amazing at how fast they learn "No hands!"
They have their first game in a few weeks.
Adam is enjoying his new job so far, and I am also staying busy doing some new volunteer projects :) I have the most wonderful husband in the world who let me take a girls vacation to Las Vegas this summer and I had a great time. I really needed the break. I dont think I've ever left the kids for longer than a night. I think this upcoming summer we are going to try to plan a big group vacation so we can bring the kids as well.
Adam and I also celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. For Adam : We have been together now for over 13 years!!! I want to make sure he gets credit for the dating/engagement years :) We would have forgotten it (again) had it not been for my mother calling us that morning. Thanks Mom!! See..everyday is an anniversary for us.. we dont need to celebrate on the set date. hahah (you can go vomit now.. its ok). haha.

Birthday Pictures
We did very simple birthdays this year. Actually, we ended up having Three birthday parties. One for Hunter, One for both kids in Daytona, and One for Tina.
Next year I think we will go all out, but for this year, it was nice to keep it small and simple.
This was the super mega fort that the kids got. Basically its a bunch of foam noodles and connectors that they can use their imagination and build cool things. I am proud to say that we put the hot balloon together for the kids the first time (Pictured above) but Tina and Hunter now put it together 100% on their own.
