Summer Re-Cap

Here is a little recap of some of our summer pics. I'm so bad at getting these things on here when I first take them, sorry. Here is Emma at the Kiddie Park for the first time. She liked this ride, but hated the rest.
This is Emma after she had been "helping" Ron in the flower bed. Yeah she helped herself to a few handfuls of dirt. Nice.
Kyle and Luke decided to get all tatted up at SunFest this year. They thought they were pretty cool and the "tattoo" lasted a little over a week.


I would have posted another picture of Luke's tattoo but I guess you can only load so many pictures at a time. I like how both the boys were so serious, like it was actually hurting or something. They kill me.

Overall, we had a really nice summer. We didn't do much, but that is fine with me. A little down time is always nice especially after the spring we had. I'm really ready for Fall though. I love it! It's my favorite time of year. The colors, the first crisp evening, oh and the FOOTBALL! Yeah I know I'm a freak. I love football though. OU is my fave, actually my obsession, but I can watch any college football. It's a sickness that I will have to be medicated for someday I'm sure. You know I even watch football when Ron's not home. I knew it was bad when I caught myself watching a game one night and Ron walked in and I said "Oh my gosh, you have to see this hit you just missed!" I don't know who was more surprised by those words, me or him. But I've come to embrace my football craziness and consider it a bonding time with me and Ron. And every other person that wants to talk football with me. ")

So bring on the football, the leaves and all our November birthdays! It's going to be a fall to remember and all you Sooner fans get ready. Only 9 more days until kickoff!

The First Day of School

Well the first day of school was last week and I had to send my baby off to Middle School. I managed to stay composed and only broke down once the week before school started. I just can't believe how fast time can go by. One day you have this little 8 pound bundle of joy and the next you have this...
He didn't really want me to take too many pictures and neither did his brother, but I made them and they can just get over it. Kyle was a little bummed he had to go back to Kane while his brother got to go explore a new school, but I assured Kyle that one day he to would get to go and he would have to endure his mother having a few minor meltdowns. What can I say? These kids are growing way too fast.
Can you see the despise in their face. They hate my camera, they hate being that close to each other and really they didn't want to be up that early.

Sorry the pictures are a little dark and blurry. It was dark in my house and it was foggy outside that morning. Frankly, I just need a new camera. Maybe Santa will get me a new one for Christmas??? Santa are you reading???

Anyway, they went off to school and had a great day. All went well and things seem to progressing nicely. I don't really anticipate a year without any hiccups, but a mom can always dream can't she?
