{Do I Get To Go To School Yet?}

Theron
Ace

This year was kinda sad for me.....Theron is seriously ready for school this year, but in WA he is not old enough so he has to wait. Sadness. He is so cute! :-D

{First Day of School 2009}

It's here again already.....school! Goodness....the summers really do fly by....it's amazing! I remember as a child remembering how fast the summers went by....and now...they still do! I can still recall the begining of the summer thinking of all the things we wanted to do this summer lol and now school has started again already!
I got up and made the boys chocolate chip pancakes and english muffins with ham, cheese and eggs....which is something they LOVE! And then for a treat I made them rice crispy treats for and after school snack. Both of which are special treats for them because we don't do breakfast at home since we get free meals they eat breakfast at school...and they get home about 4...and we eat dinner at 5:30...so it's a small quick healthy snack after school usually.....fridays I try to make something 'special' :-D
We're off to a good start. :-) I was able to take pictures by the front door again this year. I know that I don't have the same front door in all their pictures with all our moves, but I try to get their pictures by our front door on their first day. :-D

Mr E started 3rd grade this year!

Mr A started 2nd grade this year!


I also got some pics of Mr T & Little Mr this morning but I just didn't have the energy to upload, crop, and download them tonight....I did the two that actually went to school this year...lol....I'll try and get theirs tomorrow. :-D

{PaperDolls}

Mr T with his Cowboy


Mr A with his Mummy


Mr E with his Frankenstien

The other day I helped the boys make paperdolls with my cricut.....it was really fun and we had a blast. :-) They love picking the clothes and colors and having me make them just for them and the doll they are making. :-)

{Camera 'Fun'}

This is what happens when your 4 year old gets ahold of your camera! LOL
Mr T wanted to take pictures-well of course he did!-I do love these pictures, its funny what kids choose to take pictures of & how they take the picture. LOL

{Mr E Got Baptised!}

It was very exciting to have Mr E come up to us a couple months ago and tell us that he wanted to get baptised. I feel that this is a very strong and big decision. It is common in our church to get baptised when you are 8....and I'm okay with that...as long as that specific child is ready to do that. I really wanted it to be Mr E's choice....not something that we just did because we as parents believe. It was very exciting. It brought back lots of memories of my baptism and the choices that I made and make every day.

{Under Construction}

I found a new layout that I want to use for our blog, but I have to figure out how it all works. lol I can do this....I just need the time to sit down and look at it all....so please bare with me while I do this. :-D I sure do love the look of it though! :-D I'm also changing things around a bit so that our names aren't used. I've noticed alot of mom's do this....it's a privacy thing I'm sure...but I've really like it....so I'm going to be changing all the wording and lables etc....thankfully I don't really have TOO many posts to go through. :-D Wish me luck. :-D

Luvs!

{Mr E? or Wookie?}

I love how imaginative our boys are....the really are creative while playing. lol Mr E and Mr A were quietly playing together upstairs....and then all of a sudden Mr E came downstairs in this outfit looking for where Mr A was hiding....lol....TOO FUNNY!!! :-D You can't quite tell but he's actually got a blanket on his head that goes down his back and drapes down like a cape. lol

{Sprinkler? Truck? Or Both?}

Little Mr keeps getting distracted from the sprinkler by the tonka trucks lol So he brought the truck over to the sprinkler & was silling it with water & splashing it! LOL

{A Spoon Can be a Messy Thing}

This morning I was feeding Little Mr & he insisted on trying to do it himself. lol Very cute....He is growing up so fast already. lol I know that learning is something that he needs to do, and that he needs to practice so he can get better at it.....BUT IT IS SOOOO MESSY!!! lol

{Happy Birthday Mr T!}

Already we have another birthday in our house! Where does the time go?? I still remember my mom & brother, my sister & son, being in North Carolina with me while I waited to go into labor with our third boy while The Mr. was doing his first tour in Iraq......and now here it is four years later! WoW! These first years are just so amazing to be apart of! They learn SOOO much! It's really fantastic to be able to watch and help teach and mold them into the little people they are becoming. :-) So here is my Happy Birthday to Mr T! :-)

1. You are SO creative! I love watching how you play and what you'll end up making next.
2. I love how you can occupy yourself for hours, but then at times you curl right up into me and want to cuddle.
3. I love love love your giggle! :-)
4. One of my absolute favorite things is to watch you fold your arms and ask for help to say the dinner prayer...and how upset you get because you want to say it and Daddy picked someone else for that night.

We love you Mr T and can't wait to keep watching you grow, learn, and blossom into the young man that you will be. :-D

{First Day of Summer...}

Today is the boys' first full official day of summer! Yay! I am so excited to spend time with them & figure out things to do together. I also don't mind the idea of sleeping in once in a while! lol :-D

I have some pics that I've been meaning to post....my computer is acting weird AGAIN...so I'm using my sister's laptop now...so we'll see how much I can get done on it. :-)

{Pizza with the Principle}

This year with Mr A has been pretty rough to say the least....the past month and a half hasn't been too bad though...phew...so imagine our excitment when he came home with a letter stating that he got picked to have pizza with the principle in her office....this is a good thing! lol He has also been bringing home Cub Awards which mean that he was seen doing good and/or nice things. :-D

WAY TO GO MR A!!!!

{Happy Birthday Mr E!}

{Mr E's Official Baseball Picture}

We got Mr E's pictures today too. I love the pictures, but I'm not as happy with the package. The boys had different photographers for their teams, and when they got them taken I thought I would like Mr E's better....not sure why, but now that we have them...I really like what the photographer for Mr A's team put together for us. That's okay, cuz next year I'll make sure that Korie does their team pictures. :-D

{Mr A's Official Baseball Pictures}

Here's the pictures that we paid to get taken with Mr A's team. They took some really cute team pictures too, but I didn't want to post other people's kids without them knowing...so you get these adorable pictures of Mr A. :-D I was able to take some pictures myself too but I haven't had much time lately in general, so I haven't gone through them yet. I'm trying though. :-) My favorite is the one of him with the mask on. :-D

Luvs!
