Flash Catch Up

Well, life is happening at a rapid pace lately.

For awhile my computer and iPhoto were giving me fits and it was difficult for me to do a post, so I chose not to go through the hassle.  And for awhile I just did not remember to get the camera out!

And honestly, it has been rather nice to be away from the computer.

Then there was a grad class that I had to cram into a few weeks(after have a year to do it--oops), getting into the groove of fitting in the homework of a 1st grader, building stamina of being a teacher mom(and falling asleep by 9:00 which obviously leaves no room for blog posts), spending more important time with my Savior at night and in the mornings, trying to maintain a healthy work out life(5:00 comes pretty fast some mornings), and the other every day tasks of being a mom of 2 boys and wife to an amazing husband.  So, the break from blogging has been needed, refreshing and one less thing to do, BUT, I do need a place to record all the excitement of a life of boys and all of the milestones we have been experiencing lately.

So, here it goes in flash forward.

We left off with Cameron ending a great, although loosing, first season in football.  His last game was terr.i.ble.  Freezing cold rain, crying kids, windy and we were drenched from head to toe.  He got a donut after and an award so all was well then!
Then, it was just fun to be home more during the week.  Doing all the little things like.....

painting just for fun

pumkpin carving

trick or treating(yep--the same costumes as last year!)

(and it's weird to be posting Halloween pics at the beginning of December---Christmas ones are coming!)

tales of the wild with daddy hunting(and Cameron starting to go with him!)

 playing in boxes and hammering for no particular reason than to pound something into wood and use tools(seriously my boys could play with boxes, paint, nails, and tools for HOURS!)

and creating art work with a fun new white board(currently still leaning against the wall in the living room--not sure where this will find a home yet!?)

And there you have it.
Now--Christmas tree decorating, the infamous Christmas card family photo mishaps coming(as long as I can find my pictures now!)
