Phones.

I know that technology can be a distraction. I know that there are times when I should not be on my phone (aka talking, emailing, texting, pinterest, facebook, etc.) and instead should be spending time with my family. I am trying to be very aware of the time I spend and really make sure that I am "with" my boys when I am with them- for (as so many people told us would happen) they really are growing up too fast!!!!

 

But.....amidst all of the negative things that a "smart" phone can bring....I can definitely find a positive: I can take lots of pictures and capture memories of our daily lives.  So...to that I will choose to be grateful! Thank you, smart phone, for helping me to caputure memories!!!!

 



Some pictures over the last few weeks. 

 

 

We started having "game time" while we wait for dinner to be ready or after naps. Playing "connect four" (Cars theme of course!)

 

 The month of October was birthday month around here! What a sweet hubby...and a great way to wake up!

 

 

Cold(er) weather sometimes brings snuggly mornings! Cam decided to snuggle in and enjoy some cartoons.

 

It was fun to celebrate with some friends. Love ya, Brit! (sorry I dont have any others to post right now...eek!)

 

 ...and another new game. Hungry Hungry "farm animals". They loved it!

 What could be better than blue-bubblegum icecream? YUM!

 And pumpkin carving time!

 (I just love this one! It was a great night! We carved pumpkins and lit a fire in the backyard.)

 

 

I love a nice fire in the fireplace!!!! 



 And...lastly...how cute is this? He loves to wear his fireman hat.....especially when we go to the "man store" (aka HomeDepot).
