Playing in the leaves.

The boys and I had a lot of fun raking up the leaves and jumping in. We have a lot of mature trees and lots of leaves to clean up at our new home. It makes for a lot of work, but a lot of opportunity to do more fun things. The boys have asked to do this many times since.

Cyrus is becoming quite the poser and Quentin enjoys the action photos.

It's another boy!!!


Well, if you haven't heard the news, we are having another boy. I am trying to follow in my mother's foot steps to see how many boys I can get before I get a girl. J/K I know I couldn't handle doing that not knowing how many kids I would have to have to get my girl. Depending on how things go with this one we may just adopt a girl when we are ready for another. Which obviously will be some time from now.

We are very excited to have another one. All of the boys, that includes Justin, look forward to out numbering their mother once again.

If you have any ideas, suggestions, thoughts, on a name for this little one, we would love to hear them.

Our due date is March 22. However, I will be having a C-section at 37 weeks to prevent things from getting too complicated like last time. This puts my due date about March 1st. I do hope to wait until March to have the baby to prevent any opportunities of having the baby on my birthday. I am all about giving kids their own birthdays.

All is well with the baby. He is looking healthy and strong. I have still be a little on the nauseated side, however, I haven't had much time to think about it. Life is good and we are all happy and doing well.

Quentin's Kindergarten Pics.

So Quentin got his school pictures done this past month and I thought they turned out pretty good. He hasn't received his class picture yet, but we hope to get that soon. I still can't believe I have a kid in school.

I figured I better put up a new picture of Cyrus as well. However, I hope to get a more professional looking one done soon for him. We were going to take him to the schools open picture times to get his done, but that was right in the middle of nap time and I don't know about you, but you don't mess with nap time if you don't have to.

Hope you enjoy.

Halloween 2008

Halloween 2008 was very fun for he boys. However, I just realized I didn't get any individual pictures of the boys this year. I guess I will have to re-dress them up and take some more pictures. I'm sure they won't mind.
As you can see Quentin was an Army guy which was nice since we had most of the stuff on hand already. Cyrus wanted to be a dinosaur. But not just any dino. He had to be T-Rex. I had to specially order his online since no one seemed to carry that specific costume.



We had the boys Grand parents over for dinner and then strolled around the new neighborhood. They seemed to have the hang of trick-or-treating after a few homes. Even Cyrus was running up to the doors without mom or dad in tow, except for when his bucket was getting to heavy for him.

The boys seems to really like handing out the candy to the kids at the door though. I almost think they liked that more then trick-or-treating themselves.

Sugar Cookie decorating/mess.

So we had a very fun and eventful October. The boys decided they wanted to make Sugar Cookies. Of course that means lots of attention from mommy and lots of cleaning up afterwards. However, we had a really fun time. I found that it was easiest to make the dough the day before and then re-fridgerate it. That way the next day it was like playing with play dough and the boys were able to make the shapes they wanted without them falling apart. They had a lot of fun and keep asking to do it again. I guess I will have to give in and do it again some time.

The boys also liked dressing in their white shirts and matching ties. Cyrus thought it was pretty cool to look just like his big brother. Here are some cute pictures of them.
