Photogs!!!

Alright, I got pictures done for my boys. I'm in love. Here are a few of them and if you're wondering, yes, I did contact JCrew and told them they sponsored my eldest son's outfit. I'm sure they really, really care too.

October Recap

Ugh, Kansas has made me lazy. Yep. Kansas.
So, here is what happened last month and the beginning of this one.
First, Noah's soccer team lost the finals. He was devastated-aka-mainly cloud watching during most games, but he really did feel amazing with that darn medal.



Second, Halloween. Noah went as a skeleton to the pre-school parade then later went trick or treating as a ninja. Wills was a hotdog at the parade and a skeleton later that eve.
I was Awesome.
Mac was Big Bird.

Halloween night...

Trunk or Treat eve...

We also had...wait for it....WAIT FOR IT...WILLS BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!
I know, right!!??? He hasn't changed for a few months so I'm still whacked out.

Ghetto cupcakes. I'm not saying that to get compliments...I mean gross cupcakes.


Maybe he did try to grab the flame. Who knows?


Not too sure about ice cream...


but sure enough to rub it all over...


Happy Birthday DOVE & DOVE!!

Lastly, Fall is in process of shedding leaves, which means that our front or backyard is in a constant state of disarray, but man, the boys love it.




Love you all.

September Recap-

So Mac and I had our anniversary over Labor day weekend. We drove 4 hours to the St. Louis temple. Where we did sealings. We met a couple there being sealed together and their children after 40 years? It was amazing.


We (me) ate two bags of really, really chocolatey covered pretzels. I feel that it was important to mention the pretzels for some reason...in case you feel prompted to make and send me some...(hint, hint Meggles).

Noah started school and is playing a soccer game every Saturday morning. GOOOO TIGERS #7!!

Noah did a Mom's Night Out for his class and sang the cutest songs and made me a corsage. He was the only one that had to be scolded numerous time to pay attention. He really is my son.

At one point in my life I made a promise to myself that if I had two of the same gender I wouldn't dress them like twins. I think it's really lame...

AND I DID IT ANYWAY!!!!

Skeleton Pj's-


Sweat suits-


Birthday suits!!

Kiawah Island, SC

We had a blast on this family trip with Mac's sisters and their family!!
Alligators, bike rides on the beach, beach time with the cousins, tantrums, glow sword fighting, toad fish catching, ice cream eating and dolphin sighting... Noah even warmed up the trip by playing a shark at the airport playground with the other kids.

Proof he's mine...

If there was any question that Noah wasn't mine...here's the proof. What to do with a baby bouncer than put your head in it and jump around? Sorry Mac...






Look who's gone mobile. Honeymoon's over!!! Time to work!

Annnnddddd Boom goes the dynamite....

If you know Noah then you know he is a titch accident prone. It's his darn "thin skin"...or luck.
And yes, for the 1 brillionth time I didn't catch the fact that his whole side of his head was bloody. One more reason I shouldn't be breeding. Anyway, he fell going down our outside steps and introduced his forehead to our brick patio.
Mac's skillz were called into action immediately. Mac and the rest of the men at our home (missionaries and some other friends) got to help wrap Noah up while Mac went to work. I was a good mother and left the house. Seriously, the screams that come out of his mouth have made me almost pass out before...don't judge.

Good thing I was gone cause Mac told me that the numbing medicine was expired and Noah felt everything...

Did great though...4 "itches" and a Popsicle later he was he happy little self again. Wills stayed asleep the entire time.

LOVE YOU BRAVE BOY!!! And great job dad!!!

Happy Birthday America!!!

Did I take a picture of our activities? No. Still, Happy Birthday. You're great.
