the line up will be changing soon....

there are no words...

As I was going through the baby clothes this morning the boys were just running around, taking little things here and there, but I really wasn't paying too much attention to it...

then when i was done i came down stairs and found this...

so what do you think? Should this be our christmas card?!?!?

Pilgrims and Indians...

Well, the pilgrims and the indians are were at it again! Helping each other out, and sharing in a fabulous feast, and this time, I heard a few little brothers were invited.

So Nate and Matt and I snuck down to Jack's school to share in the feast! And Jackers sure does make a cute little pilgrim!

Family Camp Out Nov. 08

Well, thanks to our great dad, we managed to get out camping as a family before the "harsh" winter season comes along! So we had camp fires, smores, roasted hot dogs, pancakes and bacon, twizzlers (of course!), scavenger hunts, duck chasing, and just some good ole family fun!

The boys loved every minute of it! When we told them it was time to go home Jack told me that he didn't want to go... that "home wasn't fun like this!"

I guess it's in their blood... boys and the great outdoors!!

I'm so proud of this guy!!!

Jack's always been the timid one, letting his little brother try most stuff before he ventures out to try it... But we found something that he loves so much and that he isn't scared of!!! HORSES! Who would have guessed!!! He's scared of Skeeter, but the big huge horse? NO! I'm so proud of him for starting to try new things.

Apparently...

I sing like a man. When we were coming home late sunday night we were in the car, and jack randomly said, "mom, girls are suposed to sing like this.... and he then proceeded to hum in a VERY high pitched voice. And boys sing like this..." and he then hummed really low... THen he said, "but you don't sing like that!!!" Obviously I must have embarassed him during the primary program... and I guess I was singing like a man. Poor guy! It must have been on his mind all day... but on another note, jack thinks this is what David looks like....




And here's the boys just chillin.... and Nate trying to be one of the big boys!!!

Our first horse rides...

The boys loved it. Jack didn't stop talking about, and dave didn't stop sneezing and weezing from it for about three days after...

halloween!!!

For halloween we didn't have any ghost or ghouls or gobblins, just SUPER HEROS!!!!!! Jack wanted to be a police man (mostly because the costume came with some totally rad accessories), matt wanted to be a power ranger (because hello, didn't you hear? he IS a power ranger), and nate was superman (because he liked the cape!).

We had a great year, got lots of candy, went up to our bishops barn for a little fun, road horses for the first time, and made some great memories!!!

An ode to the man I love...

"What a man, what a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man... yes he is!!"

And if I met him for the first time in 1952, I would have still loved him...


and if I met him looking like this in 1960 I would have felt the same way...


and if i met him looking like this in 1976 I would have said, "sign me up!!!"


all I can say is looking good Mr. 1982


I can't resist mr. 1984


And this is the year David was voted "Most likely to succeed..." I can see why!!!

i love em!

So I needed some subjects to help me check some things on my camera and this this is what they give me. Jack, being jack! Totally willing to help out. Matty, willing only after he sees his brother jack, and then steps up to the plate and _________ a big sneeze! They are possibly the best and the silliest kiddos on the block!! I love em!

So.....

I pretty much have the BEST husband on the face of the planet! Not only for our 5 year anniversary did he help me paint... he helped me paint the same wall three times, and then hang possibly the most difficult wall gallery ever know to mankind. Well, not the MOST difficult, but certainly not easy!

We are so lucky to have such great grandparents! Tanya and Jerry braved the job of watching the three boys for 4 days so we could enjoy a nice anniversary together! And if anyone's ever thought of staying in town for their anniversary, I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

Happy anniversary David! I love you more than you'll ever know, and I'm by far the luckiest girl around!

Fall Festival!

Considering these pics are about 2 weeks old now, that would be a good indication that we've been busy! Busy with what? LIfe! But these are from the Lantana Fall festival. We've been there two years in a row now and the boys love it! Balloon artists, face painting, bounce houses ,food! Gotta love the food! And it's all free. Perfect for a growing family!

We met up with Grandma Lisa and Papa Guy, Uncle Nick and Aunt Becca, and little GUy. It was pretty fun! The boys LOVED it!

Here's my hunk looking good and resisting the camera.


And here's the boys starting their texas pride young!












Matty.... are you sneaking a sip? We see you!!! You must get that from your mom!!!
