I can't believe how fast time flies. I am sure you get very weary of hearing that sentiment so often, but that doesn't change its truth.

This year brings with it yet another BIG change for our household. Like we haven't had enough changes recently. This is a good one though: Luke and Nick are both playing basketball! Their games will start next week. We all couldn't be more excited!

Here is Nick in his awesome game shirt. I'll definitely be cheering the Eagles on all season long!

Movie Night With Mom!

I have ALOT of catching up to do here on the Blog. I feel so bad that you've been so in the dark about all of the terribly fun things we've been doing. Well, fear not! Because I intend to overload you with experiences not to be missed.

The other night we did something very different. Usually Dad takes the older boys out to do fun things, and I stay home with Chip and prepare delicious delicacies. But this last week, I got out of the house with 75% of All Those Boys!

We went to the MOVIES!! It was very fun and exciting! We ate way too much popcorn and enjoyed our film a great deal. Best of all though (at least to me) was spending time with the neatest boys ever!

For Your Viewing Pleasure.....

I give you 'Plaid.'

Not technically a complicated shot, but very plaid.

Let's Try Something New!

Last year, I took part in a Photo A Day challenge, at least for a time. I think these sorts of projects can be very good for a person who loves photography as it really forces you to 'think outside the box.' I think I'll start that up again and post my findings here on the Blog. I'm hoping this makes me more likely to keep up with it!

There are two types of PAD challenges...one has assigned words; the other is simply any photo you take. I'm going to go with the first type...at least initially.

Today's word I'm supposed to convey is 'bright.' I couldn't think of many things (at least in my house!) much brighter than this bad boy.

Tomorrow's word is plaid...what was I thinking!?

Happy Birthday, Chip!

Our most recent birthday to celebrate was Chip's. He turned 3 on November 18. What a special guy!

Grandma and Grandma Pa (Chip's version of 'Grandpa') came over one evening to celebrate his birthday with us. They brought him this cool basketball goal!

As you can see, he knows what to do when a basketball is placed in his hands. (Note the basket! :o) )

I really like this picture of All Those Boys with Grandma and Grandma Pa!

Happy Birthday, Chip! Our family would most definitely NOT be complete without you!! We love you so much!

Well, after months of praying and negotiating with the weatherman, Chip got his fondest wish: SNOW. You see, the only item on his birthday list was a sled. So, dutifully, I found him a wonderful sled, then settled back to wait on the magical flakes to appear. And appear they did, at least a few of them. The only problem is they arrived with terrible gale force winds and negative wind child indices. Chip was not to be deterred, however, and outside we went.

Note that sleds truly need a little more snow to perform as they should.

I really like this picture of my two sisters and me. We women never want our picture taken, do we? But I'm so glad we had this taken because I will treasure it forever!
