You Capture: Free Choice

This week was a free choice for photo subject over at Beth’s You Capture site. We were lucky enough to get a pass for a behind-the-scenes tour at the zoo again this year, so I’m going to share photos from our tour this past Sunday.

I love the flamingos. I also love […]

Trick or Treat

It was a big weekend around here. It’s Teacher’s Convention, so Noah had Thursday and Friday off. Caden had Friday off. Noah’s birthday was on Thursday, when we had his birthday party. We had our families over on Friday to celebrate. Then Saturday was Halloween.

Seeing as Halloween falls 8 days after my birthday […]

Another celebration

On Friday night, we had our families over to celebrate Noah’s birthday. He was thrilled to find more Legos under the wrapping paper, along with more Star Wars stuff.

He also raked in a bunch of dollar bills from his aunt and uncle. Lizzy put her dollar bills in ever […]

Six

That’s how old Noah is today. He’s gone from this…

…to this…

…in the blink of an eye.

It was a great day. Noah’s off for Teacher’s Convention, so we took advantage of a weekday afternoon to have his birthday party at a local bowling alley. All I need […]

You Capture: The Feeling of Fall

The timing of this challenge was perfect! We headed out to The Elegant Farmer (home of the famous Apple Pie Baked in a Paper Bag) on Sunday to do some apple picking and pumpkin selecting. It was a gorgeous day to start, but then the wind picked up and we got rained […]

Major League fun

The other day, Andy was able to get discounted tickets to the Brewer game. Since the season is rapidly coming to a close, we decided to take the boys one last time for the 2009 season. And the seats were in “Awesomeville” as Andy put it, so we really had a great time. I’ll let […]

You Capture: Happiness

Normally, I’m a pretty happy person. I’m an optimist, I try to see the good in everyone, and I smile a lot. This week has been a tough week for me. -I worked most of the day on Saturday, missing Noah’s soccer game, during which he scored a couple of goals. -Monday […]

Last day of summer freedom

Noah starts kindergarten tomorrow. My heart is aching. It’s the end of an era! I can’t believe he’s old enough to go to kindergarten! But he’s totally ready. Completely ready. I’m not.

Today the boys got to play at three different parks with Grandma, then this afternoon we had some time to play outside before […]

At the movies

Andy and I just got back from seeing “Funny People“. It was hilarious! I don’t often laugh out loud at movies, but this one had me laughing a LOT! I’ve always liked Adam Sandler, and Seth Rogen is a new favorite of mine. If you can get past the crude language (there’s a lot in […]

Too tired

Yup, that’s me. Not that today was so taxing on me. On the contrary. It was quite nice.

I went shopping a bit in the morning, came home for some lunch, took a little snooze on the sofa, baked some break-apart cookies, then headed out with the family to my friend’s parents’ lake home. Despite […]
