New family pictures!

Back in June I had some family pictures taken of the boys and me. I wanted some pictures to put on my walls that were new and had no old memory tied to them. Most of them turned out pretty well. I'm still in the process of sizing my walls and seeing what size to make all the pictures. Here are some of the ones I like!

A NEW START

Things have been a little crazy around my house lately, and I have neglected to do anything about this thing. I had to do some reconstruction of my blog. Since I am now divorced...well almost, I had to make some changes. That seems to be the way things have been going lately. This year has proven to be a difficult one already, of course I knew that clear back when it started.

Let me just start out by saying my past is my past. I would never change my mistakes because they have made me who I am today. That being said I am over my past and I am moving on. I have realized many things in the past 7 months that I should have realized 5 years ago. Things change, and people change. I am now moving forward and looking towards a different future. My kids are my world and they always will be. From now on life around me will be different than I expected, but as long as I have my boys things will be just fine!

Summer has been fun and busy. I have been in the process of moving and fixing the house to make it a little more livable. For one thing it didn't have a place for a washer and dryer! That is something you need...but more on that in another post. We have been keeping busy with the water park, zoo, vacations and preparations for school. The last one we don't like to mention in our house. It's a sore subject.

Mak is trying to adjust to his new life and house. At first he hated the house, but now he is loving the grass and ways he can play. He will be starting his last year in preschool (sore subject). The part he doesn't know is that he won't be riding the bus, and it's 4 days now instead of 2. I will tell him later! He has learned to push buttons and be a friend to his little brother. As for the divorce, I don't know if he understands fully, but he will eventually. Love this kid and his new found personality!

Carson is the same as always. He is a little sweetheart and loves to bring me flowers! They are morning glory, but it's the thought that counts! I don't know where he learned to be so nice to his momma but I'm lovin it! He will start his preschool this year and he is so excited! He puts on a backpack and gives me a hug and kiss and tells me he is off to the bus. He will then proceed out the door and come back a few minutes later proclaiming he is home and asked if I missed him!

This is my way of starting new. I love my kids and everything they have brought into my life! Now if I can keep up with the blogging that would be most impressive! Until next time...

Halloween 2012!

This year Mak asked for weeks when we were going trick-or-treating. He was so cute, actually they both were! I love the way they both said "Trick-or-Treat" at the doors. Ryan was able to walk around with the boys, Anna and I this year. We had lots of fun! They wouldn't hold still for too long so these are the pictures we could get!

 

Here we are carving our pumpkins. This year we didn't have time until Halloween day.

The boys helping for just a few minutes! P.S.-Carson has a knife in his hand.

Daniel and Kendra doing theirs.

My boys went as SWAT!!

Anna went as Pocohantas!

Miss Nhala came by while we were all out Trick-or-Treating.

Photography

This semester I have been taking a photography class, and I love it. I have learned so much. I thought I would share some of the photos I have taken.

 

 

 

The first 4 dealt with Different points of view for an object:

The next 4 deal with figure to ground relationships:

The next ones we were asked to pick a place and take pictures of that place. I chose the cemetary:

These last ones we were asked to pick an object...I chose a pencil, which was really hard!:



Sugar Cookies

My mom had the kids over to make sugar cookies, and we made most of the cookies the boys just ate the dough and got into a flour fight!

 

It started out inside, but...

 

Then they were asked to move it to the backyard!

 



Poor Carson looked the worst. He was covered. I think they dumped the whole bucket on his head.

Then Mak brought out the SUGAR!!!
