See this happy guy......

It was one year ago today that we learned we were FINALLY out of PGN with Kolby.(big step in our adoption process) . After our long wait this was HUGE news.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about how incredibly blessed we are.

I mean you just look at his face and smile :)

Help!!

Ok all you smart blog people.

As you can see there is a little something missing on the top of our blog.

Our header has gone missing. So any idea's on how to do a new one? Our last one had a web address which is now invalid.

I'm sure there is an easy (for those that know how) way to put a header together.

So all you expert bloggers out there any hints or help would be GREAT!!!

Thanks!!!!

Birds birds and more birds.

On Saturday we drove south a bit to meet up with some good friends of ours.

One of our favorite things about living in Southern Utah is that warm weather is never very far away. (As I write this we are in the middle of a big snow storm)

As timing would have it Kolby fell asleep for his nap right before we arrived. We wanted to let him sleep as long as possible so we drove around exploring.

Just look what we found....

Luckily we had crackers in the car, Luke LOVED being able to feed the birds.

There were geese, ducks and various other birds. But Lukes favorite was this beautiful swan. He said she was the "mama duck" of all the other birds.

I just love this beautiful boy!!
Kolby slept through the whole adventure. But he didn't totally miss out on the fun. He had a blast running, playing and looking at everything new when we woke up.

The boys played so hard they both fell asleep the minute we got back in the car to drive home.

The writings on wall...........

The boys choice in writing tools

(only pure luck that its not a permanent marker)

Nice artwork on the bedroom walls

This all took place in the span of time it takes me to take a shower (average 5 minutes start to finish) While in the shower I didn't hear the normal screaming and yelling so I stuck my head out and called for the boys. This is the closet door right next to the bathroom door. They came when I called but were apparently so occupied with their new found art stylings they just could not stop themselves from writing while innocently answering "nothing mom" to my "what are you guys doing?"

If we can write on walls and doors why stop there??? There are sheets on the bed that need a little sprucing up.

And hey what about us???

Kolby's neck side and back were covered too.

Life is just one adventure after another.....

A Historical Day!!!

I was thrilled to be able to watch this historic event.

It did not surprise me in the least that over 2 million people braved the cold to be there in person to see U.S. President Barack Obama sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.

We screamed and yelled and clapped. This is Kolby clapping.

I cried a few times. There was so much raw emotion in the crowd. It was an amazing thing to see.

A day of Hope and Promise............

Seasons

This past July when my Grandma (GG to the boys) was in town we went for a drive and found this cute Little park. This is Luke sitting by the waterfall.

Yesterday we decided to go for a Sunday drive (adventure) we ended up at the same place. It was c...o...l...d. But same pic, except with Kolby this time.

Grandma and Luke looking at a statue

Same statue just a little more snow covered.

We have an amazing opportunity this time of year. For a few weeks every year Bald Eagles migrate through our area. They rest in these same tree's year after year. While on our drive we decided to see if they were there, we weren't disappointed.

There is a Eagle watching day set up that people come from all over to attend.

The bad news is our camera is on the fritz (I know I'm in my own personal hell :) we are using our cell phones to take pics. So you will have to take my word for it that there are Beautiful majestic Eagles in these tree's. The boys and I sat in the car. (really its impossible to keep two boys quiet) Dewey walked as close as he could without disturbing them. Truly one of natures most beautiful creatures.

FFF=Eyes

Today's FFF is eyes.

I had to look through a lot of pictures to find some of my favorites of the boys showing the boys expressive eyes.

I just love this one of Luke.

This is from last year, lately when I try to take his picture he has this funny face with his eyes all scrunched up. Cute but its hard to see his eyes.

This is from our pick up trip with Kolby, we were visiting Antigua.

Can you say mischief?? :)

It cracks me up every time I look at it.

Have a wonderful weekend and for more FFF pics check out http://kissthefrog4me.blogspot.com/
