it's been too long

to say i've taken a short hiatus from the blog would be an understatement. i really have no excuse other than not wanting to deal with the mass amount off picture i have to sift through because choosing which pictures to post is really. really. hard. i have adorable kids and these pics don't so them justice. anyway, here's a glimpse of what we've been up too...

we've had a pretty fun-filled summer:) 

fun snowy days

the weather finally warmed up enough for us to play outside and not turn into turner popsicles. the kids are cute little buggers, aren't they? i love when they're all wearing their snow gear- they all look like chubby little penguins:)

oh look- there's me!

if you look closely, you'll see a hand under the cushion. that's sammy. yep. jimmy is sitting on the cushion and sammy is under it

thank you aunt amy for the apple hat!

first photo of just me and my sweetheart in 7 years.

happy boy richard

so, while jimmy was busy screaming his head off during his haircut, richard was happy and content to sit in an airplane, eat all of the treats i bought to get jimmy to sit in the thomas train, suck on the lollipop the stylist gave him, and watch despicable me 2. it was hysterical to see the difference between him and jimmy- one screaming murder and the other laughing and happy:)
