Christmas Tree Hunting

 

We went with our good buddies the Shugarts to find a Christmas Tree. The kids had a great time together. We found a great tree and the boys are really excited to get it up and decorated. Tis the season!

Partners in Crime

 
 
 
 
Don't they just look like trouble? Notice the Buzz Light Year undies on over the pjs. Hot!

Fruit Loop Necklaces

 

 

 

Projects make the days go by a little faster. I'd love to hear your ideas on easy projects that you do to keep your kiddos busy.

Winter Wonder Land

 

We had the greatest snow storm a few weeks ago. We woke up to probably about 12 inches of wet heavy snow. We spent the morning knocking snow off of our poor trees, they were touching the ground with the weight of the snow. The boys thought they had died and gone to heaven. They played for hours. Here it is like three weeks later and we still have a mess of snow. It's going to be a long winter!

Good Morning Wilson

 

 

Wilson is always really cuddley in the mornings, but only with Mom. It drives Dad crazy. Peter always says he married the only girl in the world that doesn't like to cuddle, and now his boys won't even cuddle him. Poor Peter!

Happy Halloween

 
The boys were pretty excited for Halloween this year. We had a great time at Grandma & Grandpa Moss's house.

Good Lookin' Boys

 
 
Another day at church. That is the only time we dress these poor boys up, the rest of the time they pretty much look like orphans.

Fall Leaves

 

We only had one tree that turned a pretty color this year, do to the cold spell we had. But we got a lot of time logged playing in this pile of leaves. Every time we returned from going out we had to take a few minutes to stir up the leaves. I love fall.

Company

 

Tom, Cait and the kiddos came for a visit. The boys had a lot of fun playing with their cousins. They were a little confused that first morning they woke up they were looking forward to seeing Thomas the Train, but they settled for Uncle Tom instead. Thanks for coming and for all the hard work you put in Tom and Cait!

My Little Shadow

 
I love this picture of Simon in his oversized hat. I look at pictures and think, "Oh they are so cute, how do you get mad at a face like that?" But believe me it's possible.

Cleaning Up Dinner

 

 

After dinner the other night, Peter and I got the kids cleaned up and we were looking at something on the computer. The boys were in the basement, or so we thought, watching a movie. We heard some noise in the kitchen and this is what we discovered when we checked it out. Wilson was drinking the spaghetti sauce, and Simon was trying to fine some sweet tunes on the ipod. One more little boy mess to clean up.

Hello Snow

 
Who doesn't love snow in October? Carter has been sick for the last few days. He would lay on the couch and watch it snow outside while his fever was up and as soon as the tylenol would kick in he would beg to go play in the snow. They had such a great time playing together outside. The cold doesn't even phase them.

Bath Time

 

Have you ever seen a bath tub full of such cute boys? They never get anywhere as clean as my bathroom floor does but they sure love bath time.

Reading Time

 

The boys love to have books read to them. We are still working on being able to sit for the whole book.

The Beloved Hammock

 
We spent so much time in this hammock the last two summers. It is by far the favorite attraction in our back yard. Sadly we had to retire it a few weeks ago it was literaly falling apart.

Hats

 
Simon and Owen are really big into hats right now. We only have one kid sized hat because nobody would wear them up until now so they walk around the house with these oversized hats on and they look so darn cute. And Wilson is just happy to be in a picture.

Happy Birthday Carter!

 

Carter turned 5 in September, or Upsember as he would call it. We had a great evening hanging out as a family and celebrating him. He is such a great big brother.

TV Time

 
Ashleigh, Jet and the boys watching tv. That's what they do best.

Rat Lake

 

We hiked into this lake and there were a ton of big fat toads. The boys decided it should be called Toad Lake since we didn't even see one rat.

No More Training Wheels

 
Carter was very proud of himself for learning to ride his bike without his training wheels. So far no huge crashes

The Natural Bridge

 

Just another outing with the Schmidts. We did have a great time at the Natural Bridge. Owen insisted it was snow water. Wilson puked big time on the way home. We had to stop in Big Timber to let the boys play at a park while I cleaned up the mess. I love road trips.
