Summer Recap--Part 1

I've decided to break down the summer fun! I'm starting with Alex and Logan.

Shortly after their birthday they discovered a new hiding spot!

Can you see Alex peeking behind?

Alex has such a great smile!

Getting dressed by themselves...

Logan

Alex

Then they decided they didn't like clothes at all. We are

FINALLY(?) out of that stage!

Hard at work painting the kitchen.

Their favorite past time is officially BASEBALL--Rich is VERY excited about that!

Logan

Alex--he has a silly sister!

Logan--he does too!

They love being outside!

We had an incredible amount of grasshoppers at our house this summer. The boys absolutely loved it. They would spend forever searching for "hoppers". They even managed to catch quite a few of them!

Here's one!

Logan became quite good at catching them while they were on the fence.

Logan just being silly--as usual!

Here's Logan with the jester hat he got from Grandma and Grandpa Thayne from their mission in England.

Alex's new trick--he thinks he is hilarious! He kind of is!

Of course, Logan has to follow!

Next up...Jacob!

First Day of School

Well, the summer is over and so is my blogging vacation. (Sorry--5 months is a long time!) Hannah started 4th grade today. Her teacher is Mr. Ferre. They have laptops in their classroom for the students. I thinks it's going to be really great! She has some good friends in her class that should make the year great as well.

Jacob is in 1st grade. His teacher is Mrs. Geddes. She seems very nice and I know he'll have a great year! He is very excited to eat school lunch.

Ready to catch to bus!

Alex was so excited to go to school as well. Unfortunately, he didn't realize he couldn't ride the bus with the kids. He was very upset!

The summer recap will be coming soon...stay tuned!

My babies are 2!!

March 25th was the boys 2nd birthday. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. They are so fun. They are trying to talk and are getting to be quite independent. I love them!!

Here's a couple of pictures when they were just a few days old.

One of their favorite things now is Scooby Doo! Funny I know! They loved their cake!

Here's the party we had at Grandma and Grandpa's house for them.

PRESENTS!

Here they are on their actual birthday!

More PRESENTS!

They love their baseball mitts!

Next are some pictures of our completed living room. We switched a few things after we painted. Thanks to Shawn and Lyndy for the decorating ideas!
Sorry about the pictures--I'm not the best photographer.

We are still ALIVE!

Yes, it has been a considerable amount of time since I last updated my blog. I wish I could say I did something fabulous with the time, but no. The time just quickly flew by doing the things we all do everyday.

Hannah and Rich had a great birthday. It was nice to have our families down to celebrate. It is really hard to believe that Hannah is 9 now. She is growing up way too fast for me. We love her so much. The first picture is of her cake that Grandma made for her. Next is her flower cake (yes--it was easy!) Rich just wanted a pie.

The next few pictures are just fun ones of my silly kids. The boys are always wanting to wear hats, socks, aprons, anything! They are getting big!!!

The next picture is of my project the last few days. My craft corner was EXTREMELY MESSY! I tried to keep it organized, but I just didn't have the space. So, Rich devised a great plan. Thanks to Ikea and my husband, my space is very organized. It makes my room actually look bigger without all of the clutter. There are some before and after pictures. (Embarrassing, I know!!)

Picture from our living will be coming soon...stay tuned. I promise it won't be another 2 months!!!
