To Mikey with love!!!

Our weekend....

Our town loves a parade. We have them ALL the time. The one last Sat was for the sheep herders or some such thing. So we started out Sat bright and early by driving into town for the festivities.

Horses pulling carts that's nothing unusual....

But sheep running down Main street..... now that's something to see.

It goes without saying there is not much cooler for two little boys to see then real live sheep running down the road right in front of them. (love our small town)

After the parade it was off to the Pumpkin festival. Kolby was not really in the mood for fun. They had a little leaf jumping area and Kolby screamed like he was getting poked with hot needles when we put him in it. So Luke did the rest of the activities with dad.

Fun things like.... Pumpkin bowling

And trying to eat a doughnut without using his hands
Ok so maybe hands were used just a little bit. He spent the rest of the day covered in powdered sugar.

It was a beautiful day, much warmer then usual for this time of year. We ended the afternoon by going to Drew's birthday party. Happy birthday Drew!!!

Fun day for all!

Oh me oh my!!!!!

Whatever could have caused this mess????

A pack of stampeding elephants???? Or.............

Maybe two little boys..........

If there is mud to be found my boys are there in an instant. Lest you think our whole yard is mud, at the moment (I'm not saying in the spring its not) there is just this one little spot which just happens to be right up against the house. I can't really blame them, that light blue siding makes an irresistible mud paint palette. And as a helpful hint you can wash shoes a LOT and they still hold up. And can you tell Luke now likes to dress himself? Since I'm in no way a fashion diva I let him go for it. (as long as we are not about and about seeing to many people :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!!

Thanks Auntie Liz and Uncle Gary!!!

Luke LOVES his new coat!!!

The boys are just a tad spoiled by their aunt :)

So Luke is going through this thing...... when I have the camera in my hand he gives me the goofiest smiles. And the funny part is they are always different but always goofy in some way. This is the cheese smile with eyes closed look.

My boys.......

We like a lot of people are under a great deal of stress right now. Its strange we have just never seen times like this. What is amazing to me is that Dewey can go nights without sleeping go to work everyday and still come home and spend hours playing with the boys.

He took these pictures of them playing with his boots the other day.

They just melted my heart when I saw them. They LOVE playing with dads shoes.

And the bigger picture is the wonderful example Dewey is for them for a daily basis.

I can only hope that they will want to follow in his footsteps.

Stress or no stress who can resist smiling at this kid :)

Kolby really is the funniest kid, he cracks me up every day, and yep the "hat" he is wearing is a bowl, one of his favorites.

FFF= Friends!!!

Today's FFF is Friends....

We are so blessed to have the most amazing friends.

Dewey has friends that he has had since he was a toddler. (incredible)

This is Troy and Dew golfing last year.

In looking through our pics there are LOTS of friends pics that we are missing. We really only have the pics since we got our digital camera.

But all of you out there know who you are, and that includes all my blogger friends.

WORD OF THE DAY

Fundamental- I don't know about you all but I am so ready for this election to be done with. It's exciting as all get out, and hopefully when its done we'll be able to get our country back on track, but if there is one thing I am sick of, it's hearing the word fundamental.

Whoever gets elected I am writing them to pass a law that says the word fundamental should be banished from our language.

I mean fundamentally its a good word, but at it's fundamental foundations it can be fundamentally overused. This can cause a fundamental misconeption on the fundamentals of the word fundamental. wether you agree or disagree with me on this you know that fundamentally I am right, and that you should change your fundamentals and agree with me after hearing this word which from here on forward shall be known as the new f word. :)
