End of August already???

Owen before school one morning.... he likes kindergarten

I keep acquiring all these Lego figures, the boys keep giving me these little guys for my desk......

Dance Party U.S.A-  O rocking out with his vampire teeth, and accessories!!!

Another large shot of J's missing tooth- this was before bed......

More dancing.... using my "fast action" feature on my camera....


Wow  Where has August went?    School has started and I guess that is why this month went so fast!

We went to a Skateland party for Back to School  sponsored by the PTO- and the boys had fun!   Jake has been skating before, but Owen, this was his first time.  They has these "skate mates" that are things the kids can use to steady themselves while they are learning to skate...... Picture a walker, in the shape of a "V" with wheels on the bottom.      We did not have these growing up???  We fell and learned the hard way!

I love skating!   It reminds me of skating in the garage when I was little.......   The people watching was more fascinating though, some parents were really in their "element"   skating, showing off their moves...... it was very interesting......

Big news here, is that the tooth fairy came to our house for the first time!!!  Jake lost his 1st tooth and he already has a second loose tooth- the next one to it...... See picture (s)...... anyhow, he even has a little lisp when he talks.   He was very excited and he got $1 for the tooth!  Man, I don't think I got $ 1 dollar when I was little, must be inflation!

well enjoy some pics!!

their Halloween costumes- we found these at Costco- way cheap and they were so excited- but now- it is bought and this is what they have to dress up as!!!!!

here is Jake medal in passing the next swimming level - he passed the Bronze Jr and is now in the Bronze class!!!

Down 25# !!  more to go, but made the milestone 25!!!

the boys have been laying their clothes out the night before school and they like "to make people" out of them even adding accessories!!!  ( sunglasses, hats, etc)

Here it is- the missing tooth!!!  Nice and close up!!

Skinny Girl and I are friends......

I finally tried Skinny Girl Margarita-  quite tasty and I am looking forward to the other wines she has put out there!!!

It is strong in ETOH ( that is alcohol for the non nursing bunch) but quite tasty and it has "the finest tequila and agave nectar" as the sweetner !  YUM!


 

Oh how I LOVE my BOYS!!!!!

I love my boys!   They are just great kids.......    I am so lucky!!!!!   There is always some shinanigans going on, but I wouldn't have it any other way!  

O as "Justin Bieber" and J as the Scientist
 

some more......

I have been meaning to get to this place downtown called Smeeks- it is at Central and Camelback and it has all this "old school" candy, toys, decorations and even a photo booth!

We went there as one of our "field  trips" with the kids



I found this adorable nesting doll salt and pepper shaker- the small one fits inside the larger one..... It is so cute!


Can you tell I just woke up?? haha!

my birthday flowers from my love

Homemade Batman and Robin masks!!!!

Happy Birthday to me!!!   I received a Dream catcher and Mom, check out the Vera Bradley knapsack I bought with some of my Bday money!!  I had a $25 off coupon from VB for my BdaY!! Yea ! I love hands free purses, new pattern too with all my favorite colors!!!
 

More fun......

Scrapbooking!!    I am so happy the boys like to scrapbook.... it may not always be this way!

Proud of their work

Happy Father's Day

Posing at the shop








Back online!!

I'm  back!!   

Ha, it has been some time and I am back on with some updates.......   I had to remove the music from the blog, because, now, apparently, it can only be listened to when you go to the website- so sorry-  I am not sure if you liked it or it was a annoying, but that is why it is no longer on here......

I have again, been slacking in the blog/picture area- but things have been quite busy!!!!

School will be starting in 2 weeks for the kids!!  I can not believe and O will be in kindergarten.  I am happy for him, but sad for me in a way, since now they both will be in grade school.   Time is just zooming by!   

We had a "staycation" 2 weeks ago and did a few things around here.  I am trying to catch up on some books to read, but I had a pile of magazines to get through first, so I have been making more of an effort to get those done.   My sis and I trade, so I had a back up.

well I guess I will just post some pics- you know pictures are worth a thousand words, right??  
(Isn't that the saying??)

Homemade pizza night and salad- it was delish!!


Goggle fun-  we got a family pack of goggles at Costco...... they love them!

Eileen's  hibiscus plant--  this is one of my favorite flowers!!!!!!
