fAlLiNg SnOw............

It looked so pretty out today when the snow was falling down, I attempted to do a little photo shoot...............too bad I don't know what I am doing with a camera, but here are many shots anyway!!!! :)

The only shot I really got of Adam alone..............he was not having it anymore!!!

Let the Holiday Season Begin.............. Happy Holidays to Everyone!!!! :)

A NeW aDdItIoN to our little family............

...............It is MAX, our new little POMERAT puppy!!! We love him so much. One of Santa's little helpers brought him to us early because he needed a home now!!!! The boy's were so HaPpY........they love him so much........Adam says he even loves him more than his TRANSFORMERS!!!! That is some kinda LoVe!!! :)

Just FYI, Adam is horrified of Dogs and Cats...............he loves this little guy!! I was so relieved about how they bonded.............so fun!!!

Blakey LOVES him so much TOO!!!

This is after about 5 minutes of them meeting........I was sooo shocked!!!

I love him so much TOO!!

Blake's 4th Birthday and Adam's 1st day of Kindergarten.........what a SPECIAL day....

1 year Birthday..........he thoroughly enjoyed his cake!!!
2 year, the only pictures I had him with his cake I was in too....so this is what ya get!!

3rd Birthday, the year of the bumps and bruises on the head!!!

....and then finally today the 4th BIRTHDAY....... Deep in thought, trying to make the PERFECT wish...................

Loved all his new treasures!!

Adam anxiously awaiting each new unwrapped toy knowing he would likely be exploring these too!!!

I cannot Believe my BABY is 4!!! I wish time would s l o w down, it goes way too fast!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY, we LOVE you!!!! :)

We celebrated Blake's Birthday with family on Sunday night...............he had a good time and loved all of his fun presents. Thanks everyone for coming and making this day special for Blake!!!

Adam, you are so handsome............watch out for those girls, they are going to be after you!!!

He got pretty nervous just before getting on the bus, he broke my heart when he stopped and came back to me and said he didn't want to get on................I sobbed the whole way home and half the time he was away...........the other half I was sleeping...LOL . He love his first day and is very excited to see what tomorrow brings!!!! :) Love you BUDDY!!!! You will do AWESOME!!

I spoke tooooooo soon!!!!

I have just learned the "Never say Never" saying, it was just last week I was talking to my sis-in law Karen and mentioned how we have "NEVER" had stitches or broken bones with any of the boys in the family..................ONE WEEK LATER, Adam gets 9 stitches and a fracture on his poor finger, his "BIRDIE" finger might I add!!!! Poor kid, he has been so tough though and thouroughly enjoyed watching the dr. sew it up!!! :) Could have been lots worse, so I guess I am thankful it wasn't!!!!!

Wow, it is coming up............

It is at the Ogden Marriott and will be lots of fun....................lots of giveaways and fun things will be there so come and take a look and have a good time!!!!

What is in I D A H O ? ? ?

............ We took a trip to Idaho early this morning to put flowers on the headstones of a few of Grandma Eddington's close family......she lost two young children and her husband, along with many other aunts, uncles, parents and so forth!! Wow, what an amazing lady she is, ever since I first met her I have really thought so highly of her!! She is just a very great, caring, and very strong woman of GREAT faith!!! I would really love to be blessed with another baby girl, I would love to name her after Lila!! We had a GREAT time......I really enjoyed it, other than doing that and spending time with some wonderful family members this was the highlight for me...................I loved this park, it had all the old play equipment I enjoyed as a child!!! Grandpa pushing Blakers high on the swing.......................

..........ok, so here is a funny story with this little girl we met at this park........Blake had gone over to the pavilion with the rest of the group and I stayed back on the toys with Adam. A guy comes up to us with a cute little girl and asks Adam if he would do the teeter totter with her.......he does it a little hesitantly and I say, "I bet she is the same age as you, " in which the Dad replies, " Is he five?" I said yes and quickly the girl says, " I am 5 and a half, " so I said, " Oh, well when is her birthday?" The man replied, " November 5th," I just kind of stood there and said, "oh my gosh, that is his birthday too!!" It was fun, and the kids thought that was pretty cool and fun to discover that!!! So funny!!! :)
Adam loved that flag..................and of course so did Blake!!! First fight of the trip, but we managed to make a deal and all was well again!!!

Never too big for these swings........................my biggest kid of all !!

fun on the merry-go-round

climbing trees :).................

and that is not all this monkey climbed........

.......this was pretty high up, but Blake has no fear of heights, on the other hand Adam didn't go near this............. such different little personalities, the less brave definately stress me out less!!

The good ole' style teeter totter, I am pretty sure won the award for being the funnest and most exciting thing to play on................

The Swings came in at a very close 2nd!!!

.............and of course we can't forget the trees!!!

I love my two little MONKEYS!!!! :)

-----Here at the Cemetery-----

This is Grandpa Blaine's headstone

The boys found a ladybug, it kept them entertained for quite some time.......

Getting ready to head back home.......
