Memory Grove

So I have no idea why this is underlining. Nor do I have the patience to fix it. I also have no idea why I can't type before the above picture. This blogging is driving me crazy!! Anyway Peter had last Thursday and Friday off for UEA. It was great to have Peter home for 4 straight days. And it was nice that we were able to hang out as a family. On Friday we went up to Memory Grove. The fall colors were gorgeous. We hiked around and had a picnic. Memory Grove had endless trails to hike and it was just so nice there we didn't want to leave.

Look at all those great colors.

I think Aydan should stop watching America's Next Top Model with me!

My boys are so handsome.

Nan's Cabin

Last Saturday we went to Nan and Aaron's cabin. It was quite the event, we had 5 different families all in one cabin. There was plenty of room and lots of things to keep the kids entertained. It was beautiful in Midway and the fall colors were amazing. Thanks Nan for the invite!

Out on our long walk, check out the view!

Nudie craft time!
Don't worry they only took off their shirts.

Sam's Update

Its been awhile since I've posted pictures of little Sam. These are some of my favorite once that we recently took. He has grown up too fast, look how big he is, and don't you love his shirt. Always trying to make a statement!

How precious is he!

He is having a great time in his bouncer.

Mothers

How is it that as mothers we can still remember little details of your children's life. As I was going through Aydan's baby clothes, trying to get them organized for Sam, I could remember almost every outfit, picture Aydan at that age and wearing those clothes. And not all the clothes I have are from Aydan, I have had many donations from neighbors but can pick out the clothes that belonged to Aydan. We are lucky to be mothers, to remember and cherish these little things that are our children's life. It is hard to imagine my life without my boys. How boring it would be without the constant noise, laughter, yelling, chit-chat, whining and even crying. Aydan and Sam I am lucky to have your sweetness in my life!

Idaho Trip

Over the weekend we went to Idaho to watch Aydan's cousin's Dusty and Lindsey play football. Cute little Lindsey plays flag football and is the only girl on the team. She is also the best, and fastest player on the team. Dusty is the quarterback for his team and can really throw the ball around. Aydan had a great time playing with his cousins and sleeping over with them. Aydan and Sam are lucky to have such great cousins. We only wish they lived closer!

Hanging out at the hotel.

Sam's first swimming experience.
The water was super cold, can you tell?
These guys were inseparable during the weekend.
Sam didn't really enjoy the cold weather.
All bundled up.

True Story

On our way home from my brothers house Aydan was telling us which way to go. "Go straight, turn that way etc..." Then out of nowhere he says go that way, Peter says I can't go that way I have to go straight, and Aydan says yea go straight, that's east. Which shocked us both because we were driving east. Then as we were heading west we asked Aydan, is this way east and he says no east is that way, toward the mountains. How smart is Aydan!
