Long Time Gone!

Wow! So it has been quite awhile since I last posted anything but there is just not enough hours in the day. Halloween was here before I knew it, Thanksgiving seemed earlier than normal and Christmas is just around the corner!!!

I figured I would post a couple of photos while I have a spare minute :-)

The boys were so adorable all dressed up for Halloween

The weather was great on Thanksgiving and I got to take a few pictures of the boys playing in the fallen leaves

Feeling Blue in Tennessee!

I'm in Chattanooga, TN for work this week.  As I sit alone in my hotel room I'm feeling awfully homesick so to cheer myself up I was looking through family photos on my computer. I found a photo taken of us a couple of months ago at Knott's Berry Farm and thought I would share it here.  That was such a fun day :-)

Birthday Boy!

We celebrated Connor's 9th birthday this weekend and it was a lot of fun :-)

He got to spend the day with family and got some great gifts.  He just loved the guitar his grandparents got him and now wants to grow up to be a rock star!!

First Day of School

So, we finally got the boys enrolled in school.  It took a lot more effort and paperwork than I expected but we got it all sorted out.

The school seems great, the teachers are all very friendly, and the boys are so excited to be going there.

I hope they have lots of fun and make tons of new friends :-)

Getting Ready for School!

We spent the majority of the weekend running around to every Target, Walmart and Office Depot within a 50 mile radius trying to check off every item on the boy's school supply lists.  Why does a second grader need 10 glue sticks!!!!!!

We managed to get about 90% of the stuff on the lists along with some cool new outfits so the boys can start the new school year in style.  Nathan picked out 5 new t-shirts - all of them with monkeys on them!!

We even managed to squeeze in some much needed hair cuts.  My two oldest ones kept it pretty traditional while Nathan opted for a Fauxhawk :-)

Don't they look handsome?

Finally Back!

It has been a long time since I last posted but in my defense it has been a hectic month and a half!  We made the cross country move and are finally back in Louisiana.  The boys are settling in rather nice so now we just need to get everything else sorted out :-)

Father's Day 2011

We decided to go to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History on Father's Day to spend some quality family time together.  The boys loved all the exhibits - each of them must have taken a 100 photos on their iPhones!

I also managed to take some great pictures of the boys and my wonderful hubby.  I hope to create some digital scrapbook pages when I have the time but for now I'm just going to post a couple of my favorites.

The boys' favorite exhibit was "Butterflies Alive" - a huge netted area with hundreds of butterflies fluttering about.  Since Daniel was wearing orange the butterflies were all over him.  Unfortunately his brothers were not as lucky - the butterflies were not at all interested in them.  Luckily, a kind museum worker came to their aid and everyone got to have a butterfly land on them :-)
