Halloween

For 2 years in a row now, I have forgotten to pull out my camera and take some pictures of my boys in their Halloween costumes.  Fortunately this year, my mother-in law had me take a photo of the boys with her phone, so this is all we got of that night (although Joshua's official trick or treat costume was a ninja). 

Maybe I will set a reminder in my I pad now for next year so I will remember to get my camera out. ; )-

Playing catch up

 Well, since I have not blogged in a while, I thought I would show a quick picture review of our summer (and I hate to say, I am already missing the weather, even though it was a hot one).  Any way, as usual it went by too fast and now it is fall and time for me to try to play catch up. 

Joshua and Jacob are back in full swing with school and I can't believe we are only a few weeks away from Thanksgiving.  Every year when they head back to school I think I am going to have more time to tackle my ever growing "to do" list, but for some reason, every year I feel like I get more and more behind.  Oh well, maybe one of these days.    

We did the usual amount of stuff for the summer, we went fishing, picking blackberries, road trips, went to the zoo, picked huckleberries, celebrated Tucker's 2nd Birthday, and wrapped the summer up with Jacob and I going to Seattle for his one year checkup. 

 Jacob's checkup went very well (as usual) and all of his Dr.'s were pleased with how well he is doing.  In fact his Neurosurgeon even wanted to show Jacob off to another family who was struggling with the decision for their son to have a hemispherectomy.
I later learned that after meeting Jacob they scheduled the surgery right away because they were so impressed with how well he was doing. 

Other than that our lives are still crazy (and very loud) and everyone is doing well.

Don't need one of these for my boys to be crazy :)
