Autumn Beauty… Continues…

I have so many pictures of my own kids that I haven’t even had a chance to edit!  When I was trying to decide which photo to put up for the I heart faces contest I edited a few of them… finally!!

Here are the others I was choosing from…

Helping your brother smile…

If your brother is having trouble smiling for his picture…

Sit on his head…

That helps…

To all you mom’s out there with boys… give up.  You aren’t going to stop them from antagonizing each other.  It’s what they do. 

The End.

Iheartfaces: Let’s Hear it for the boys

This week;s theme at I Heart Faces is boys… my entry… jadon was pouting & zach was copying him… I just had my old camera, so I don’t expect to get any recognition for quality of this picture!  but it was fun to play along! Pam

Faceplants – Football – Fones

I have some very fun shots to share with you today!!  We will start with the Faceplants!  I’ve been wondering what the best way to show you some of these!  Too bad I don’t have them in video, but i didn’t take video, i just held the shutter down on my camera and got what looks like a flip book out of them!  Enjoy this!  Zach trying to skim board…

 

This one is James, his friend Aaron is under the water and James is pushing off his shoulders to flip in the air!

Ben threw Jadon…

Then there were the sand plants…

My nephew, Colton…

Most of the time there were brothers involved…Like this one with Lucas… threw him in the pool…

And then in the sand…

I don’t remember how this happened to Jadon, but I am pretty sure it was his brother’s doing (survival of the biggest you know…) (yes, those are tears. He was NOT happy!)

These face plants made Jadon happy!  Jadon, Kiahna, & Hallie piling on Aaron!

FOOTBALL… Zach & Koty (no not the ones from Nickelodeon)…

James & Aaron didn’t play much football… they were too busy playing with their…

FONES…

There you have it… Faceplants, Football, & Fones…FUN!

Wordless Wednesday

What a blessing it was to my heart to see my 4 boys enjoying each other this past weekend… well in their own way…

Kiahna refused to get in this one, so that worked out… They are Zach, Lucas, Jadon, Leah, and James…

What a fun day!

*******************************

I have a few “moments” to share this week.

First, when I took Kiahna to preschool one day this week.  I had her lunch bag packed and in her back pack.  She wanted to take it out and hold it.  I told the teachers, “I will just take it with me, because it is for after preschool.  We are going over to the elementary school to eat lunch with Lucas."

Both teachers, almost in unison, said, “Oh, I miss that!”

I didn’t have my camera to take a picture of us eating with Lucas, but I treasured the moment just a little more, knowing that these days, with this one, are fleeting.

*******************************

My second moment…

Seventeen vs. Fourteen…

Football in the kitchen…

James refused to let Zach through the opening…

I don’t know how long it went on…

I got tired and went to bed…

James will be in trouble when he no longer has the weight advantage.  Zach has muscle.  And James is training him well!

I AM going to miss THIS!  (annoying as it can get after awhile!!)

******************************

I admit to writing these first two last night.  I was going to post it as is, but I had some things happen today that I have to add. 

As much as I wish it wasn't true, there are so many times that I just can't imagine that I will ever miss the things that happen.  This morning was one of those times.  We were home all day, so (even though it isn't Tuesday!) I decided to work on the kitchen cupboard doors.

I took off the hinges and the handles.  Took the doors outside.  Sanded and Painted them.

I was growing increasingly irritated with Jadon and Kiahna.  They just wouldn't go play!  They wanted to be right where I was.  They wanted to ride their bikes around the table.  Around the saw horses!  They "couldn't" go to the sandbox or the swing set because there may be a bee!  I assured them that I had sprayed those bees (wasps, actually) a month ago.  I didn't think there were any more. 

They wouldn't. 

They dug a hole in the yard though.

Then Kiahna almost sat on the bench (with a wet door on it!). 

The final straw was when Jadon turned on the hose!  Kiahna got wet, the doors, THANK GOD! didn't. 

I was thinking about this post while I was working and going crazy with their presence!  I know I will regret not enjoying this moment today.  But, I really want to be able to do something without them wrecking it or standing on top of me while I try to do this.  Why can't they just go play?  Why does this bug me like this?  Why can't I enjoy this? 

I ended up yelling at Jadon for the water incident.  Sending him to his room.  Deciding I was done painting for now.

And then they went off to play...

Is that some law of nature?  Do what mom wants AFTER she gives up on what she wanted to do??  (yes, Kiahna has her shirt off)

Go ahead, tell us the moments that you have a hard time believing you will miss...
