Summer recap 2013

As much as I've been in denial, summer is officially gone :(
It sure feels like it went by WAY too fast!
We were busy with::
Grad school (Bobby)
Swimming lessons (Mason)
Marshall county fair
Time at grandmas "fun" pool
Kitchen painting project (amber)
Going to our first "family" movie (Planes)
Parades (MYND and the fair parade)
...and the usual day-to-day things!!

Now fall is already here! We are celebrating by making pumpkin waffles this AM, bringing up the fall and Halloween decorations, and hopefully making a trip out to the pumpkin Patch later today!!!

Welcome June

Picnic!

Tonight we had a picnic on the driveway (haven't cleaned off the patio furniture yet!!!) -- masons idea - what a great one!!!!

Yay spring has arrived!!!

I think we can finally say spring has arrived....although there is still a small patch of snow in our backyard....we spent the entire evening after work/daycare playing outside -- didn't get any laundry done or house cleaned but it was much too beautiful to stay inside!!!

6+ weeks into 2013

And so far so good!! I've been starting to do a project life album this year and so far am actually keeping up with it, unlike my intentions with my blog last year... It seems as we get busier and busier it gets harder and harder to find the time, or I guess I should say to put this up high on the priority list. I know that when we are busy it's the best time to be putting pics up as that way our family and friends can keep up with us! With bobby attending grad school 3 nights/week there really isn't any excuse for me NOT to find SOME time! :)

2012 Highlights

Wow - 2012 came and went! It was truly a great, blessed year for our family - we couldn't have asked for more.  Some of the highlights were
