Just in case you were wondering...

Hobby Lobby has their Christmas stuff out. Oh yes you read that right....Christmas. I know that you all were sitting outside in the 95 or more degree heat trying to cast vision for your Christmas decorating this year just counting days until the decor was in stores....well, go fight the throngs of people picking over all the lights and ornaments at Hobby Lobby. hmmmm

Eaves Dropping on the Boys...

I am sitting at the computer listening to the boys while they try to fall asleep. Their little conversations during this time are always so entertaining to listen to. Right now Luke is telling Ben that he has to call him "God" and is calling Ben.. "Noah." Ben is crying saying, "No, I'm Benjamin." hmmmmm....boys!

Sweet Little Thing

Just thought I'd share some great shots of the darling baby girl. By the way, the boys did not shoot her with the nerf dart, it was just gently licked and stuck to her head. What a trooper she is!

Pink Boy Shirt

For so long Ben has loved the color pink. He really wanted pastel pink crocs this year, but they "didn't have his size." So, he asked for hot pink. Hm. They "didn't have his size" in those either so, he settle for red. When we were at my moms a couple of weeks ago she bought the boys several shirts at the Ralph Lauren outlet. The each got a hot pink one. Ben is in love with his. He got to pick his outfit the other day and of course chose the pink shirt. All afternoon he walked around thanking me for his "pink boy shirt." "Thank you, momma, thank you for my pink boy shirt!" Too cute.

These are some pictures that I took a few weeks ago on a big trip to Ruidoso, NM with some of our greatest friends. We had six kids under the age of 4 and lots and lots of action in the house. I think people ran the other way when they saw us coming. :) It was a blast. We did some fishing, horseback riding, hiking, water ballooning, swimming, playing, and so much laughing and visiting. Oh and I cannot forget that our friends the Doyle's gave us the hook up on great seats at the horse races.....such a blast! Thank you D, Jaime and Lucy. We love you Spears-eys!

Over the River and Through the Woods.....

to Gracie's house we went. It was such a blast and our favorite way to spend the 4th. Breck has the best morning parade and night time concert and fireworks. We had a full week of action packed adventure. Hiking, biking, feeding "real"chipmunks, children's museum, train rides, pool parties, new friends, and much much more.
