Let's try this again....

  So there I was, foolishly not napping while the boys were, and I thought I'd scan back through my most recent pictures of the family on the blog.  WOW, is all I can say.  Followed by a prompt thank you.  I am thanking all of you for being so patient and for not nagging even though the last photos of my kids are from more than a YEAR ago!!!!! sheesh!

So I'll have to do more of an update with all these photos, but I'm uploading pics like a Mad Hatter right now!!! 
Enjoy!





Starting off photo factory with Christopher pre-haircut

And and after haircut!  He has a HUGE cowlick so it stuck up in front, so I rolled with it and stuck it up all over.

Tyler loving dad at Ft. Stevens Campground...sometime early summer...not exactly sure.


Chris even got a present on Tyler's birthday...guess that's what happens when you're the baby

~ June 4, 2011


Tyler wanted ANOTHER pirate birthday party, so I had to outdo my 2010 cake.  I think I succeeded but will be at a total loss if he wants Pirates this year!!!!   Please ignore the horrible siding, it was such a nice day we had to be outside.  ps all that ugly siding is now beautiful cedar shingles.  Will post pictures someday.

Thank you everyone for your awesome gifts!  I am horrible at thank you's.  I just threw this pic on so that all my boys would be in the pic,...even if Anthony has blue hair!  lol

Matching Polar bear pjs and wrestling in mom and dad's bed.  love those boys!
~unsure of date :(


                                           

OMgoodness!  I die laughing every time I watch this!  This is my little nephew Finn, who was meeting my crazy boys for the first time.  He was so mellow, he didn't know what to think with all the yelling and screaming and physical contact (usually pretty rough too!)  He is so patient for not even 1 in this vid!!!
~ Also unsure of date.  I know, I am horrible!


Tony and his blue hair,...fishing....

~Summer 2011



Oh Copper, how I miss your fluffy face.  Our Awesome dog Copper we had since he was 8 months old.  Got him when Tyler was just 13 months old, and had to say goodbye, summer of 2011.  Robert was laid off, and we couldn't afford all that goes with being a dog owner. He was sweet, and loved the boys.  Never rough, always ready for lovins.  Miss him a ton!


Big Sturgeon Tony caught ....and his blue hair. :]

 Carving pumpkins (don't ask about the black eye :[ )

~October 25, 2011  (they'll rot if you do it earlier)


This is what Tyler thinks of me taking his picture.


After WAY too much effort last yr, we threw these costumes together with the help of Goodwill and dress courtesy of my mom.  Tyler was supposed to get his face painted, but refused at the last minute :(
Ironically he let me do it the very next day...but who knows where the camera way by then.

Being goofy in the truck headed who know where.  :]

I know you'll all appreciate the exchange that takes place in this vid.  Robert will be mortified, but it's just us, uncensored, the way we are.

~Dec 11, 2011








Not sure where this randomness came from but ya.

~ January 30, 2012



Uncle Joe moved here!! yay!


~Feb 5, 2012












 Just being goofy while mom attempted to get some halfway decent photos for the blog.  I shudder to think of what our first professional session will be like :)

~February 11, 2012


So that's all for now folks.  Don't judge too harshly.  Life goes on with or without the blog, but I will try to do better.  Just trying to enjoy every minute these days!  There are a few more good vids but didn't want to wait for them to upload.  So ya.

Chris' sedated echo and cardiology check up is on Friday.  Please keep him, the doctors and mom and dad in your prayers.  These appointments tend to go fairly smoothly, but they do bring a lot of emotional stress with them.

Lots of love to all!
