Owen and Max

This may be the only time when it is cute to see boys kissing...they'll hate me when they are older. Sorry boys, I had to!

A First

Well, as the saying goes..."boys will be boys" and I've got two. Parker was racing his bike yesterday with the neighborhood kids and crashed face first...no skid marks thank goodness its only now just been a year since he got his first stitches, but he did knock out at tooth... ugh. I'm getting queezy again just thinking about it. I'm so glad Nate was here to deal with this one. I'm not grossed out easily by blood and cuts, but man this one did me in. He was brave though, he cried a little, but took it like a man... or boy
.

A little piece of lazy!

Call me lazy, but I ordered this great new gate, the "Superyard XT", to keep Maxwell from crawling or scooting rather into the kitchen... I had the thing out of the box before the UPS man was out of the driveway. Best of all I ordered it yesterday for about 20.00 less then any place else on amazon.com, and it came today w/ standard shipping! I was so impressed! Here is a picture of it. Its actually made to go into a hexagon shape like a little playpen. I'm sure we'll use it for that too its huge!! I only had to use 3 1/2 pieces for my 8 1/2 ft opening!

Last Days of Summer

We had a long weekend Nate took Friday off for our 5 year Wedding anniversary, and ended up building a shed. However, I didn't mind because we really need one and need to get it done and the garage cleaned out before winter. It'll be so nice to be able to fit both cars in the garage without having to maneuver around junk. It also means I can have a garage sale in the spring without having to ask Nate's help in cleaning the garage out.
We also went to Travellodge (formerly the Ramada Inn) on Friday night for a little hassle free getaway. The boys ended up getting a cold, which had been brewing from the week before.
Saturday was Hannah's b-day party, which she has been very vocal about waiting on so I was glad the event was finally upon us as was she.
Sunday was kinda lazy Nate worked more on the shed, and Monday we spent the afternoon at the lake and what will most likely be our last boat for the season...although I hear its gonna be a hot one this week. Here are some pictures from the weekend that I took with my new camera that Nate got me for our anniversary.
