Time Marches On

Wow.....I feel like such a slacker!  Summer has come and gone and there is nothing here to show for it!  There were vacations and reunions and lots of fun....but now, school has started and fall is upon us!

Josh is in 8th grade and excels in school!  He is does percussion in band and likes to play his drum set.....I wish I could say "loves" but he is a 13 year old boy.....the only thing he loves is food!!

Mike is now in 6th grade.  He does well in school but excels in friendships!  He plays the flute in band and still is playing his guitar too!  He can't wait for baseball to start!  And last week he ended up losing 4 teeth on the top of his mouth, so he only has 4 top teeth that show when he smiles.....poor kid.....but he does a great chipmunk impression!


Ben. Is. Crazy.  The terrible twos have hit....he cries....he sulks....he hits....he cries some more....it's a dang good thing that kid is cute!  His favorite song to sing is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and he loves dinosaurs!  He is talking pretty well now and I can understand about 80% of what he says.  He loves to ride the four wheeler or motorbike and loves the outdoors!  Could you ever deny this face?



Have you ever heard the saying "We interrupt this marriage for hunting season."  Well, that is where Brian and I are at....from September on, I am a hunting widow.....now I did get to go bow hunting this year for a few days but missed a spike elk at 45 yards.....so Brian has one more weekend to bring home the elk bacon before bow season is done.....let's hope he delivers!
Luke had been on my mind a lot lately.  I keep replaying the day it happened.....I hate doing that.  I want to remember the good stuff not the bad stuff......it will be nice to start the blanket drive and do good in his memory!

Well, that is the update for now! Here are some great pics from our summer!
