Getting ready for the Fourth

Yesterday we did some crafts that will help us get ready for the fourth of July! It was a lot of fun! (I also learned that one of my boys loves taking his time with crafts and being very intentional about where the paint goes...and one does not!)

 

 
(when you don't have gloves that fit...you get creative!)

 

 

Can't wait to show you how the finished products turned out!

Summer.

This week marks the last day of school for lots of school-aged kids. There is a feeling of summer in the air! Here are some ways that we are already "celebrating" summer  around here:


Watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates in our "tick tock croc" costumes on a rainy day.

 Having a picnic lunch with friends

 Dinner outside.

 A lovely day at the zoo!

 Just a little walk to the park with a friend.

 Some neighborhood playtime learning our letters (after riding bikes :)

From Where I stand

I recently joined Instagram a few months ago. Sometimes people post pictures and they title them "from where I stand".

 

Last night while in our culdesac with neighbors, we were given the news about the tragedy in Oklahoma. I had not turned on the news all day; this was new information to me.

 

So today, I am so thankful and almost speechless to have this view from where I stand. Thankful for my family and saddned to hear about so much loss.



 

 

No Dog. No Diapers. No More Slacking.

Well, based upon the last post, you might be thinking that I have just been so busy because the boys got a puppy for Christmas. Well, that isn't exactly the case. (yep, Mrs. Owens...I had to get back into this..thanks for the reminder!!!!)

 

 

We did not get a dog for Christmas. We are on day two of no diapers, and I am no longer going to slack off on the blog. There were technical difficultites....and then I just never got back into it. But I am realizing more and more each day how quickly this time goes...so I want to be sure to document our lives and capture as many memories as we can.

 

 

Sullivan and Camden turned 3 this weekend.  What a long way they have come! From 3 lbs to 3 years old! So, no dog, no diapers....and I guess I can officially say they are no longer babies! Heres to no more slacking off on blogging...!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technical Difficulties

I am having some technical difficulties loading more pictures. Out of space? Maybe. Something "broken"? Maybe. User error? Probably.

Sorry for the delay.

Dear Santa.

Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year we want a dog.  (true story). 

 

Love,

Cam and Sully

 

P.S.  To be continued....see future posts to see if this came true.

 

 

 

More pictures from our fun day having breakfast with santa.

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

I feel bad for Thanksgiving...

I have a lot to be Thankful for...however....I am just skipping a thanksgiving post and going straight to CHRISTMAS!!!

 

We started off the season right. The whole family loaded up and headed to the North Pole...on the Polar Express that is! We had a great time! Here are just a few of my favorites!
