I love Family Picture time... The kids not cooperating, the parents threatening the children. Someone gets mud on their shirt before the first picture is snapped. Now I realize why we never had family group portraits growing up. And why I still hate getting them done. So here's the "fun" pictures from our most recent shoot.
Are we ready to take pictures?
After, with some help from CS4.
Parker would never hold still or look in the general direction of the camera...
Seriously, how could you not love a face like this, can't you tell he loves getting his picture taken?
Sometimes kids actually do what you want them to...!
Halloween is over and that means it's time to start the holidays. I love this time of year, I love the atmosphere, the smells, the yummy treats. Just everything about the holiday season is great. It'll be nice to be able to have a "White Christmas" again. Though, being able to go out on Christmas morning in shorts and a t-shirt still rocks. Here's some photos from Halloween.
The Boys, Caterpillar (Parker), Capt. Rex (Christian), Capt. Jack Sparrow (Brandt)
Jen and Brandt Carving Pumpkins
Christian and I destroying, I mean, Carving Pumpkins.
No, we're not dead. I overheard someone saying that our blog was dead.... So it did die for a fews months, but we had very good reasons why. So maybe we'll update this thing a little better. Needless to say, a lot has happened in 5 months. Most importantly we moved to Colorado, I started a new job with my company, (Which I absolutely love) We bought a house. And it's starting to get cold again... BRRR! It's been a change adjusting to the altitude again, as well as the climate, the boys realize they can't just wear shorts and t-shirts all the time anymore. Christian was baptized in August along with his two cousins, that was a great experience for us all. Brandt Broke his collar bone falling off the neighbor's jungle gym, And Parker is just a little hellion. So we're doing good, We'll post some more pictures when we can... Hopefully it won't be five months from now....
So it's been awhile since I had some time to blog. Life is crazy with kids, and I just have been a little lazy with the whole thing. So I decided I would tell y'all about our Easter weekend. We had a blast! We went to Sea World with my mom. My mom decided since we are moving away that she was going to take the boys to Sea World and Jared and I could come along that way Parker would be able to go too. Mom can't handle all three boys by her self at Sea World. Plus Jared and I wanted go anyway. We had a blast Jared and I even got some time to our self and went on a couple of roller coasters. It was really cold one day so we skipped the water park. But we are hoping we can make it back one more time before we leave and do the water park. So here are some pictures we took at Sea World. Thanks mom or Grandma Starr as my boys would say.
Brandt's favorite part about the whole weekend was that he got to share a hotel room with grandma by himself and not Christian.
When we got home from Sea World, the boys searched for the Easter eggs that the Easter Bunny had hidden for them. They enjoyed the yummy treats he left them as well.
The weekend before Easter our neighborhood had a Easter egg hunt, and the Easter Bunny made a visit. As you can see Parker really loved the Easter Bunny.
As for other things that have been happening, Brandt has been playing baseball and loves it. He's a pretty good hitter but can't catch very well. His best friend Ryan and him are on the same team so that's great. Christian is still swimming and working on his butterfly and breast strokes. Swim team started last week and Brandt and Christian will be doing it again this year.
Parker, what can I say about him I love him and he is my pain in my butt.
