Along the way we have learned...

I have so much to say... so many pictures to share... but not enough time.We have moved, traveled, seen my brother get married, and have met many  new wonderful people in the last few months. Along the way we have learned many things and have grown and now its time for the holidays already. Life is beautifully hard.. Here are LOTS of pictures of our journey through life from the last few months.... Enjoy!

 We Made it to Idaho.

 We were lucky enough to be able to be there for my Dad's and Reagan's birthday!

 cousins at play at G&G Beddes house.

 Ethan Climbing

 This is one of my favorites of Riley ha ha he is so cute.

 Cute little cowboy...on a scooter

 We learned.... WHY WE DO NOT THROW ROCKS!!!!

 The Rock that ETHAN threw at her....

quick story: These two kiddos love to play together... they had their moments like any kids but they had a good time... well they were out side with their treats and the next thing I know I hear Reagan crying... well Ethan threw a rock at her poor face, I asked him what in the world was he thinking and he looks at me with a mortified face saying "Mom, I told her to catch it!" UGH I can't believe he did that. He was so worried and I'm thankful that my sister is so awesome because I couldn't handle one more word said to Ethan about the situation... In this situation I learned to listen to the Spirit... I felt a calmness come over me when I stood up from checking out Reagan's eye... I almost beat him and I knew that the Lord was on Ethan's side that day. :)

 Setting up the camping tent

 Hanging out

 Layne and Ethan slept out in the tent and I went inside with the babies. But we had some fun before I did.

 Tony. Ethan loved him... but Im not so sure Tony loved Ethan by the time we left

 Mason sleeping with daddy.

 Taking us back to the airport.

 Bruce the shark and Ernie the From

 Helpful big brother

 I colored my hair back to dark... I love the blond but I cant afford to keep it the color I like.

 Yep is is awesome.

 Silly Boys

 I started running in the mornings and at the lake the ducks like to run with  me. :) My Team.

 My morning run.

 Getting so big!! 

 My 3 musketeers!

 Now that it isnt so hot outside we can actually go for walks and feed the ducks with out melting.

 Made a stop at the play ground.

 At our friends little girls 1st birthday party and Riley LOVED the Slide/dirt... if you cant tell.

 The Bouncy house.

 Mason hanging out with mama.

 Our ride home....peaceful!

 Quick story: This fish tank finally came out of our storage and we decided to get some fish for it. We went to Walmart and let Ethan pick out some fish for the tank... he picked out 5 orange tetras. We brought them home and I did the fish thing... well with int 10 minutes of me putting them in the water they were all DEAD! BELLY UP!... I told Layne and after I thought about it for a while I forgot about the dechlorinater... yea duh... I told even asked Layne if we should go back and get some more before he woke up the next morning and he told me Naw its okay... Well the next morning sure enough Ethan asked me where his fish were, I told him they went to Heaven and he said WHAT? I said they died Ethan not really thinking cause he  woke me up that morning... and the minute I said it I knew I had caused heartache to that poor 3 year old :( He had the most horrified look on his face and ran to his room crying "MY FISH!!! MY POOR FISH!!!" yea I felt horrible so after the party we went to Petsmart and got Blue our beta... Everyday/morning or when we come home from somewhere he runs to the tank and shouts "MOM BLUE IS STILL ALIVE!!!"

I learned that I can never say IT DIED! to a 3 year old in the way I said it... I have to be more thoughtful.

 Ethan dumped all these magnetic letter is the pan and said he was going to make alphabet soup...

 I was laughing when we took this picture because he was drooling...

 Matthew's birthday Party!!

 This is Layne and Ethans daily snack... sour cream and chips..

 Thanks to my sister Kimmi she made the squares. Its looks perfect on my kitchen table with my little glass pumpkin I got from BUNCO. The spider... well that was given to layne with out notice from some of the guys he works with ha ha.

 Finished my shelf.... added my FAMILY craft up there to finish it up.

 Silly boys... Ethan was trying to keep Mason entertained while I got ready.

 Riley wont hold still long sometimes...  but at least he is in the picture.

 I LOVE MY BOYS!!!

 AND I CHOPPED OFF MY HAIR! Kinda short but I like it.

 Ethan is a lot like his dad... he cant take a normal picture... so goofy is our normal.

I sure love my boys. They are so much fun and I couldn't imagine life with out them. I am so thankful for my family and my friends Thank you all for everything you guys do! We miss everyone and are looking forward to everyone's Christmas cards!!!
