Field Trip

We enjoyed a nice field trip to Arizona Puppet Theater with our friends the Turleys. The boys had a lot of fun playing. It was a little difficult with a toddler who is not quiet and likes to run around, but we manage so that our boys can be exposed to culture, right?!

Thanks Turleys for the fun!

Cake Pops

Okay so this isn't the greatest picture. It was very late and I have no lighting in my kitchen anyway so those two things combined = bad picture. Anywho...I finally gave in to the mini Bakerella inside and made her cake pops. I am a HUGE fan of hers and have been following her for awhile. I was nervous because I thought they would be very difficult. I was pleasantly surprised to find them quite easy. Of course I didn't get all crazy with them like she does, but eventually I want to do cute things. I have big plans. Everyone who had them loved them and so I am excited to do some more today. I will try to post later. I am making them for Aaron's family. I will let you know. Happy Day!

2010 will be better

Hello
Yes, we are still here. Wow...Where did 2009 go? I am really hoping that 2010 is going to be better than 2009. It can only be better right?

I think everyone should join me in playing with Becky Higgins in Project Life. I am super duper excited to be doing this project. Today my pic of the day is of the house in this gorgeous rainy weather. This project is going to make my life with scrapping so much more simple. And it has even got me excited about regular scrapbooking again. So please join! I am doing a picture of the day idea for the family and pictures of the month for the boys.


Plus I had to add this pic of Brendon because he is so stinkin ca-ute.

I also wanted to pick your brains on what you do for cleaning. I have not been able to get into a good routine now that we are in this bigger house. Believe me, I have tried. I tried doing a schedule where I cleaned something every day of the week and each thing took less than 45 minutes. I thought I could stick to that one, even with days I work. No good. Then I thought maybe I should just stay up one night a week and do it all in 3 hours or so while everyone is asleep. But I end up finding others things to do or I only get partly done because I get distracted with something else. So, I pose the question all you multi-tasking mothers out there, how do you clean your house? What works best for you?

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year with lots of fun! We did a trunk or treat at church and then did trick or treating with family. I just love this holiday!

six years and still going strong

THEN...

NOW...I have never really been able to express my feelings eloquently with any topic so when it comes around to our anniversary I search forever trying to find that perfect card that says what is on my mind. The biggest part of it is gratitude. How do you thank someone who supports you no matter what, lets you cry on their shoulder until late at night, who has the kids in bed already when I get home from work so I can just relax, who always comes home happy no matter how the day went, who puts up with my worst side (and it's pretty bad) and shrugs off my bad attitude? I just try and say I love you as much as possible. Thank you for completing me and loving me more than I thought possible. I love you babe!

Okay so obviously it has been FOR.EV.ER since I posted last. It has been a crazy summer. So I am just going to try and highlight a little for ya'll. :)

1) Swimming (with Uncle Brent and Aunt Sarah)

2) Camping

3) Shumway Family Reunion

4) Gibbons Family Reunion

5) Fleming Family Reunion (Labor Day)

And of course lots of playing in between. Sorry we have been in the dark for awhile. I am going to be better...I pinky promise

Brendon Walking

Brendon is really getting good at walking.

You can tell by the huge bruise on his forehead!
