Gotta Check This Out!

Head over to my friend, Rebecca's blog and see this great fundraiser we are doing together for her ministry in Zimbabwe.

I hope you will consider this awesome opportunity to bless some precious kiddos in Zimbabwe.

Wordless Wednesday

I saw this on Josh's bed and thought it was too cute. His ever so important uniforms all lined up... soccer, dirt bike and police.

What we've been up to...

We have been doing a lot lately. Lots of change in the house, change in the boys who are growing up way too fast and fun new hobbies... hence this super long post.

The boys have always had separate rooms. Josh has bunk beds in his room and he slept on the bottom bunk. Jason went from a crib to a toddler bed in his room. We recently moved Josh to the top bunk, Jason into Josh's room on the bottom bunk and turned Jason's room into a playroom. It has been awesome! It is so nice to have all their toys confined in one room. The boys love sharing a room, love their bunk beds and I love how easy nap and bedtime is. They still haven't figured out that they can play in there together after we put them to bed, so until that happens I am enjoying easy peasy bedtimes!

Josh will 4 and half in Nov and he has still been taking afternoon naps everyday... until recently. I think I have milked his nap time long enough. Some days he still falls asleep, but most days he gets to have quiet time in the playroom while brother is sleeping. Another reason why I love having a playroom. We also get to do "school" at that time. Here he is enjoying painting solo without a certain little 2 year old trying to stick his fingers all in his masterpiece.


Jason is learning more words and his vocabulary is growing. Slowly, but I love to hear him say new words each day. This week we had a speech therapy session and he came home with cow, dog, cat, teacher and Nike (it was on his shirt). That is huge for him!

Mike has a new hobby. Now if any of you now my husband you know that when he gets a new hobby he goes all out. (Ask me sometime about the rope...) His parents bought him a welder and all the fun stuff that goes with it on his birthday. So this is what he did all day on his 5 days off this week. I am actually really impressed with some of the stuff he has made!


I have a new hobby too. Well when I say hobby, I don't feel the same way as I do when I shop or scrapbook, but I am learning to enjoy it....Running. My friend, Rachel and I are running together and are even doing a 5k. It is fun to have a goal to work toward and doing it with a friend is even better! Even if it is tough, my thighs and booty will thank me... If only I could just stay away from the huge jar of candy corn in our kitchen!

Finally Fall?

Jeans and long sleeves today... maybe fall is finally here!

We had a fun day today celebrating Mike's bday (it's actually on Monday) with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Gissell and cousin Clarissa. We all went to Josh's soccer game, had pizza, cake and then spent the afternoon at the pumpkin patch.


Adorable cousins on their way to have some fun


Playing on the tractor


Love these boys


Not sure if Daddy or Josh wanted to do the corn cannon more


Everyone rode on the cow train except me and Grandma. We were taking pictures and laughing at all of them when they came back in dust clouds


Clarissa and Jason led the way through the corn maze


Such a fun day!

Fall who? It's still summer!

It was 95 degrees here today (according to my Tahoe). Really?? It's supposed to be fall which means cool days, jeans, sweaters, boots.... not bathing suits, sunscreen and sunburns. In honor of it still being summer weather we met one of my girlfriends from college and her sweet little man at the beach today.

The boys love the beach!
