New Tattoos!

 

 

Gotta love some good Uncle Cory bonding time!  

Soccer photos

Before the time got away...I wanted to post the pictures that Jonathans dad took of Elijiahs soccer game. We were blown away by the action shots he was able to capture. Elijiahs team did exceptionally well this season, and he sure does love playing which makes it fun for us all to go and cheer him on.

Pallet Art

With all the pallets we have around here, I thought I would join the bandwagon and create some art with it.  There are tons of examples on Pinterest, and the web, so we decided to go with the sunray theme and give it a try.  Jonathan as usual makes everything come together. Have to say we are both pleased with the results!!  The nursery is coming along and with a month to go...we are counting down the days till our little one joins the family!

8 months

Officially 8 months +

Happy Camper!

You cant imagine my excitement when I came across this '74 Hard top- Apache camper!! Its Christmas everyone! As our family is expanding-- tent camping became more difficult...tons of stuff, and a large tent which was annoying to set up. I always wanted a SMALL camper. Preferably one that was vintage and I could fix up. These hard top campers are difficult to find and while needs some TLC will be a fun project for us come spring. Lots of things to do: new curtains, paint, fabric and some minor repairs but Im looking forward to it all. It sleeps 7 so plenty of room for us and light enough for the minivan to tow. :)

Evolution of the backyard 2012

Spring 2012 dawned and with it- our summer project. THE BACKYARD. Here are the pictures from start to finish. As we mentioned before- next year we will complete it with the deck, flowers, plants, bushes, trampoline and ground cover...but in all- we are very very happy with the progress!

4wheeling

Carl- Jonathans Dad is one of the most talent photographers I know. He has the uncanny ability to take action shots and capture a story and detail like few others Ive seen. Wait till I post some of the soccer pictures hes taken recently. Anyway Jonathan mentioned that for years he was the editor and photographer of the Cody WY paper and would often shoot rodeos and various other things for the city. His work is incredible... Anyway Tristan is with Grandma Cindy during the day and a few months ago she happened across this "pink" barbie jeep at DI. Totally works and Tristan loves it. Who didnt want one of these when they were little! I thought what a great idea but alas when I looked at the prices new( thinking I could get one for the kids at our house...) I coughed a little at the 200.00$ + price tag. Its all good though...because when they are at Grandma and Grandpas guess what even Elijiah/Tristan want to do???? :) Even though Elijiah can barely fit...they make it work!!

We have had Elijiah the last few weeks with Khory out of town.  Its been heaven for the most part.  Elijiah and Tristan have played together very well.  Between playing in the backyard( forts, and slides, soccer, and scooters) its really been nice to see them get a long. 

We have been busy putting the final touches on the yard, cleanup of the space, we bought a VERY old '74 apache hard pop up trailer, ( cant wait to share pictures- its going to be a fun project next spring to fix up and take camping) running around to lots of soccer games each week, and various work and school activities.... 

Its been a busy September and looking at the calendar October will be much the same.  I am now OFFICIALLY 8 months pregnant...32 weeks and counting.  I am fully aware these last 8 weeks will feel like an eternity, so Im trying not to get too hung up on the time.  There will be tons of things to occupy us in the next 2 months. 

For now Im just relishing in these two boys- how happy they make me and how blessed I feel to be their mother.
