This One's For the Boys...
07 October 2012
Happy Sunday to all! I hope all is well with everyone! We are just sitting around enjoying football season, as per every Sunday. It is finally starting to cool off some out here. We have had highs in the 80s, which is fabulous! We'll be wearing hoodies before we know it!
Trey had his final cross-country meet yesterday! He said he doesn't know what place he got because they only announced the top ten, which he was not in. But, he said he did his best and had a great time, so placement doesn't really matter!
William is doing his own thing, which has gotten him in trouble a couple times. He is "taking his time" getting to class from breakfast causing him to have NINE tardy marks this year already. Apparently, I need to start taking him to school. (He rides the bus) Also, he has more than a little bit of a temper, so he is going to start talking to the school counselor about ways that he can calm down before doing/saying something that can get him in trouble or hurt someone. We'll get it worked out! He is a good kid, and we just need to focus on that!
Alex went to the doctor last week for his legs. It was a waste of a trip, though, because he wouldn't let the doctor examine him. Shocking, I know. This doctor seemed nice enough but clearly didn't have time to deal with Alex's issues with doctors. So, we have to take Alex to get more x-rays done of his hips and legs so the doctor can examine those instead. Yeah. That should be a good time. Alex hates x-ray machines too. Wish us luck!
So, I gave you a collage of Alex last time. How about one of William today? He was so funny making these faces. You can look at each and caption them yourself. Too funny!
Also, I took a couple today since the boys all wanted to wear their Colts jerseys. I just love these boys, and I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do!

Woah... Where Did Everybody Go?

William David on his first day of 3rd grade. |
Alex can climb up all by himself now! |
I hope you have all enjoyed reading about the family! I promise to try harder about keeping up on this. This crazy/busy summer had gotten me so out of whack, but the plan is to get back into the swing of things better than before! Fingers crossed! :)
Trey's Big Boo-boo...
13 June 2012
He did not cry once. Not when it happened, not when he saw the blood, not at all ever. He said it didn't hurt very much, even when people were touching it. However, when the surgeon began numbing it, I thought he was going to break my hand. Even with this pain he was clearly experiencing, he laid still and did not cry one tear. He was so tough!
Trey's promotion...
12 June 2012
We are so proud of all of our boys, but this particular post is just for Trey. Schools out here in our neck of the desert are separated differently than what we are use to. K-2nd grades are in one school, 3rd-5th in another, middle school is 6th-8th, and high school is the same with 9th-12th. That being said, Trey just completed 5th grade, promoting him to middle school. They had a graduation of sorts for them, and I have to be honest... I teared up a little when they were walking in. Most were dressed in nice clothes and walking proud while they played Pomp and Circumstance. I know. I know. He was simply being "promoted" to 6th grade. However, as little of an achievement as it may seem, it does not make us any less proud of what he has done and who he is.
He did not want to go every day, but he sucked it up! |
It's official!! |
I cannot explain how proud of him we are!! |
IS THIS NOT AWESOME?! |
I apologize for not sharing this with him sooner. I know you are all equally as impressed by his accomplishments, and I should not have been so selfish with the wonderful news!
Mom and Dad with our "graduate"!
(Just because I am sure it will come up..... Yes, Robert has a black eye. No, I did not give it to him.) :)

DEUCES!!
MAY 20- Solar eclipse
These didn't come out quite as fabulous as I had hoped. I don't have a specialized lens on my camera for this type of thing, but I have an editing program that I hope will make the eclipse a little more visible. I will have to post those later, but this is what I have for now...
1. The beginning...
2. Somewhere around the middle...
3. The end...
As you can see, there isn't a big difference between the three, but they were taken progressively throughout the eclipse.
These are some other pictures I took while we were waiting for something a little more exciting to happen.... which was anticlimactic, to say the least.
William still likes having his picture taken.
Trey doesn't... so I have to sneak them. (He wasn't in a good mood this day.)
Alexander just loves being outside, even when he is strapped in.
Trey and William were about over the eclipse at this point.

I am looking forward to editing these to see if I got some neat shots, but it will have to wait until another day.
Thanks to all of you that still check my blog to see if I post... even when it takes me sometimes weeks to see anything new with us.
