Akumal

Just got back from Akumal for a week. I'm missing it already.

It's been a cold winter here. I do love the snow, but the beach was oh-so-wonderful in January!

My 10 year old makes me laugh

"Hey, Mom? What are we going to do on Christmas Adam?"

"Christmas Adam? What is that?"

"You know, Adam came before Eve. So what are we doing on The 23rd? On Christmas Adam?"

Almost died laughing!

Go Dixie. Beat the Dons.

Hunting Season is Finally Slowing Down

Jeff just finished his Wyoming hunt (group shot below). Hard to believe, but Jeff doesn't have any hunts planned until Spring. That doesn't mean he won't try to toss on some duck hunting, but it does mean that he won't be gone overnight for a while.

My Little Monsters

 Just getting Barrett's shirt on was enough of a battle.

He went to about 3 houses and he was done.

We were NOT a Power Ranger,

we were a Cowboy Ranger

Ryan thought this costume was hilarious.

He was baffled when he didn't win "funniest" at school.

Christmas Pic? I think so!!!

Don't be jealous...

For the elk hunt this year, Craig insisted that we finally tie-dye family shirts (we only did about 40 shirts alltogether, so we had plently to share with those who came with us).  It was a lot of fun to do and a lot of fun to wear.  I only wish that I had captured Craig and Dave Horlacher riding on a 4-wheeler together with their matching tie-dye shirts.  Priceless!!!

Too bad it's missing Cory and Ang and my soon-to-be nephew.

Weekend happenings

We had a fun weekend. My mom and brother and his wife came up and they brought my two adorable nieces. We went to the circus, City Creek, and tie-dyed shirts for the upcoming elk hunt. I'm always so sad when they have to leave (but I think they were easy Annie all three of my boys got sick over the weekend).

1st Days of School

Can't believe summer is over already.  I found myself both sad and happy about school starting.  I was mostly sad because I wasn't ready to give up the time with my boys, but I am SO READY to have a schedule again.  It felt like summer was mayhem all day long, every single day.  We had a good time, but it felt like constant chaos!  This year I have two preschoolers and a 4th grader.  It's crazy how fast my babies are growing up.
