This year I did a lot of sewing for the boys’ costumes. And thanks to my procrastination they got to change who they wanted to be at the last minute.
Meet Ash Ketchum:

This costume was really fun to put together and I was thankful that Perrin picked somebody who only required a jacket and […]

Today is the first day of our new school year for my boys. We are year-round over here, with I rather enjoy. We are particularly excited this year because we changed tracks and actually got s mock summer vacation by getting July off (on our old track, we would have started school after the 4th). […]

I get some of the biggest surprises during my just-before-bed rounds that I make to check on the boys. I go in for normal stuff, like fixing pillows, fixing covers, kicking toys to the side to make a path just incase the end of the world happens while we’re sleeping and we’ll need to run […]

The boys have started swimming lessons with their Auntie Heather and are having a blast! On the first day it was nice and relaxing after lessons because it wore them out. Then I realized it was a little too quiet, and every parent knows what that usually means! So I went looking for Owen […]

We had a fun and busy 4th!
We are lucky that my parents live off of our local Main street where the parade route is and we were able to watch most of the parade with the boys. There is a really cute story about Owen and a basketball that I’ll share later this week […]

In an attempt to catch up family with some current events I’m going to share a bit about my boys’ recent Birthdays.

My boys’ Birthdays are two days apart.
Owen’s is on May 30 and Perrin’s is on June 1. It’s also kinda fun that they each got their own month.
So we like to celebrate them separately […]

Some of my favorite conversations between my boys occur on the way to or from school.
This morning Perrin was talking to Owen on the way to school. They were talking about normal things for them, including video games, when Perrin says the following:
“I never blinked when I was little.”
This caused me to giggle as […]

I snapped this photo yesterday and I just love it! The look on Perrin’s face is priceless.
He’s been so excited to have a dog and just loves Sammy, so he’s always happy to get big wet puppy kisses.

We finally come home on Friday with our little Norrobttenspets bundle of fuzzy cuteness! We picked up Sam from the breeder in the afternoon and have been in puppy love ever since!
It took us until today to name him, and we are excited about our choice. His full name, if you will (yes, I gave […]

Yesterday, Saturday, we had a Gunnell Family activity day. We had a lovely hike, that I’ll have to post pictures of later this week, followed by an afternoon of visiting, food, and this:

I don’t know when it started, but there is a fun Gunnell tradition that the siblings enjoy called the Egg Roll. It’s a […]
