Holy Wow!!

I was sitting here reading someone else's blog post (because I have nothing else to do *sarcasm*) and started thinking about how I haven't written a post in a while.  I looked back to my blog and saw that it has been almost a year - A YEAR!! Holy smokes have my kiddos grown in that amount of time!! So here is a rundown of things that have happened...

Bucky started 2nd grade

 Easter in Tucson

Mother's Day

The kids and I headed up to Tucson to spend the day with Natalie and her kiddos. We enjoyed the day at the Children's Museum and then snacked on some cupcakes to celebrate her daughter's birthday. It was alot of fun for all!

Easter 2014

We celebrated Easter with Buck's cousin and her fam this year. We are fortunate enough to some family nearby even though the Army moved us from the South. It just happened to work out and we are thankful. We didn't have any plans and were invited to come to their house to eat burgers and have the kids participate in an egg hunt. The kids were so cute and it was interesting watching the different ages (19 mos - almost 7) go about it in their own ways. Natalie and I also got to squeeze in a trip to Costco before the festivities began...and we went sans children!

October 2012

Since I am behind, yet again, on blogging, here is a quick glimpse into our lives during October. And keep in mind, these are only the events that I took pictures at...October seemed to be a very busy month for us this year.

We went to a civil war reenactment...

Celebrated the 50th day of school...

Celebrated my 33rd birthday...

Enjoyed a corn maze as a family...

Carved pumpkins at our neighbor-friend's house...

Enjoyed fall festivals...

And finally went trick or treating with our neighbor friends.

No wonder we were all exhausted when November rolled around :)

Father's Day 2012

For Father's Day this year we went bowling...yep bowling. What can I say? We are a very simple family :). We all had a good time and followed it up with a stroll around the mall which lasted maybe 45 minutes and then headed home.

Spring Break, the Final Chapter

The last day of our Spring Break trip was Easter. We were not originally planning on staying that long but I thought Bucky and Jazzlyn would have a good time hunting eggs together...and they did! Buck was supposed to join us but ended up staying in Ga to do some work and because one of our cats was sick and needed daily medicine. I almost headed back early but Bucky was too excited about hunting eggs. He showed Jazzlyn how to do it and also shared his eggs that he found with her (and Caitlyn). The kiddo has his bad moments but it's moments like this that remind me of what a great kid we have and what a great heart he has. After we headed home, I realized what a horrible photographer I have become. I've never been the best but I can definitely tell that I need to practice. Mainly I need to remember to get pictures of everyone. Most of my mom's side of the family was there but, alas, there are not pictures to prove it. Hopefully my mom did better than I this year!
