Happy New Year

Happy New Year a little late. We hope everyone has had a great January. We have been busy getting back into the swing of things after the holidays - and we had a great holiday. Since I got so far behind at the end of the year, and it is a new year I am going to just start posting pictures from January on - sorry for those keeping up with how the boys are growing that you will miss a few months - I am just not able to get caught up - so we are going to start a new. One thing I will say, from experience though - DO NOT let your children hold sparklers - they burn at temperatures as hot as a welding machine - so if they get burnt (which Pierce did) - it most likely will be a 2nd degree burn or worse! With that - here come the pictures!

School Pics

Here are Pierce's first school pictures. Oct 2008

October 2008

As a tradition we are going to the pumpkin patch in October. It is also so much fun that the 3 years we have gone, we have gone with some of the same people and it is fun to look back at the pictures to see how the kids have grown. This year our camera was not charged, so thankfully we did meet friends there and they were able to capture some pictures for us! Thanks Lindsay! 10/19/08

Brotherly love - they are too cute together! 10/29/08

Pierce showing off his goods 10/31/08. Pierce loves Halloween. He loved all the decorations - nothing scared him either. He loved trick-or-treating and then also passing candy out. He did not want Halloween to end. 10/31/08

Heath did not make it too far trick-or-treating. 10/31/08

September 2008 Pics

Yes yes, I am playing catch up again. Those who know, we have been a bit crazy with things including walking pneumonia and Heath's surgery. We have been thinking of everyone and have been trying to take as many pictures so that we can post them for people to see how the boys are growing and what we have been up to!

Hog Wild!

Okay, so I have gone hog wild posting pictures in the last 2 days. I had a fire lit under my butt (thanks mom) to get this done. So I have gotten all caught up with pictures of the family. Because I have posted so many, a few have rolled off the main web page. So to see everything I have posted in the last few days, you can click on the link September 2008 under the Archives section (right side of the blog). I hope you enjoy! And as always, I hope to be better about posting pictures weekly.

Swimming never gets old!

We took Heath swimming for the first time during the Labor Day weekend. He enjoyed being in the water. Pierce loves the water and every time we go he suprises us with some new trick. 9/1/08
