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 […]

Yesterday, during a homework recess, the boys we out back and blew bubbles. It became more entertaining once Sammy joined in and I grabbed my camera to catch the fun.
When I was going thru the pictures today they made me laaaaaaaugh! I love his determination to jump and pop the bubble. He’s actually quite good […]

Easily the best toy we’ve bought, and a big favorite with Sam, is his wubba! If you have a dog, you’ve probably seen these everywhere! They are easily found in pet supply stores as well as online and in retail chains.
I love them! Easy to play tug of war with and to toss for […]

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 […]

It’s Monday, the boys are of-track until August 3rd (So happy to be going to B Track!), and we have started a major home re-organization in an effort to make our home a more relaxing and functional place to be.
So while I’m humoring Don today, here is a recent picture of Sammy’s puppy face!

We finally took Sammy out for his first “hike” this past Saturday.
I put it in quotes because we didn’t actually find the hike we were looking for, so we stopped, parked, and hiked down a dirt road for about a mile.
One of my favorite things to take pictures of during our hikes is what […]

This weekend we took Sammy on his first “trail hike”. The quotes are necessary because we didn’t actually make it to the trail, more on that later, but we did end up taking a nice walk down a dirt road.
I always like to photograph some of the flowers we pass, just to practice shooting up […]

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 […]

Been spending time with this fuzzy face as well as celebrating two Birthdays within two days of each other.
While I get those pictures ready to share, I thought I’d show you the face I get when I’m holding treats. Sammy is very interested in getting treats, and he lets you know it!
Fortunately, with […]

Thought I’d finally participate in the fun iheartfaces challenge this week.
I’ve been admiring the photos and challenges that are held each week and finally took the plunge to upload to it!
