I've been missing this blog!!!

Sorry it has been such a long time since I posted. Holidays are crazy times!!! Lots has happened since Halloween. Hopefully I will be able to keep up the blogging and get everyone up to speed.

A few pictures from Christmas. I actually didn't take any pictures xmas day, but these are from a few days prior. The boys were going to spend a few days at the ranch with Mema and Pa so we decided to let them open some presents from Grandma and Grandad, knowing that these gifts would be perfect for the ranch.

shaking and guessing....

I started to clone out the candy cane evidence left on his face...but this is how Addison looks most of the time. Loves tattoos on his cheek and breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner around the mouth...

the first realization of what he just opened

complete delight....(on both sides of the camera)

a few safety tips from Dad, love these pictures!

taking aim at Robert's buck mounted in the corner of the living room

Addison struggling to pump it

needed a little help from Daddy the first time...

will love and cherish this picture for years to come...Daddy's hand wrapped around my little man's tiny hand.

and of course we told them not to shoot out their eye! They actually have done really well and I don't think they have shot anything they shouldn't have. They had a great time shooting coke cans, grasshoppers, cactus, and targets. Both the boys are a very good shot. Asher really enjoys shooting targets, but Addison is itching to hunt!

Boo!

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to get any pictures of the boys before they went to school. But I know you can't complain about seeing this pretty little pumpkin. I'm so lucky to be her great aunt! Asher made a big deal about not wanting Addi to be the same thing as him, so we kept his costume a secret until Addison decided on his. Asher wanted to dress as incredible hulk, but he wanted to make the costume, not buy one. He was thrilled with all his green muscles this morning. Addison chose to be a skeleton. We painted glow in the dark on a bones costume. He loved getting his hair painted black (and only fussed a little about me accidentally spraying it in his ear). They both loved painting their faces and stood perfectly still as I worked. (I knew they could be still, even though they act like they can't when I want to photograph them). It will be a full day, they are trick or treating around school all day, having a costume contest, pep rally, church gathering, trick or treating around town, and then the football game. Tomorrow is the haunted house and we are going to carve pumpkins, since we didn't ever get to it. The days are flying by. Robert is working lots of overtime to offset the sting of getting a new roof. I'm so happy to not have a pool in my house now! Well, I better get up to the school and paparazzi my kiddos some. It has been too long since seeing family...we are missing y'all. Can't wait for the holidays and some time to travel.

Church Family Fun

we took a trip to a local corn maze this past weekend. we really enjoyed the maze, it was especially exciting after dark. (and letting teenagers try and find their way out)

the hayride out to the pumpkin patch was fun too

ummm, all the shots of the boys are a blur...I could not keep up with them. I could hear them giggling, but wouldn't know exactly which corner they would pop around.

and Asher kept jumping out and roaring me....ahgg, he got me a few times!

super fun, super tall slide

pumpkin bomber, why is it so fun to see a pumpkin splatter???

My super cute, pregnant with twins, friend Crystal...

with the most appropriate shirt...too cute!
