Dixie & Dylan Senior Snapshots

Busy Busy Busy

Today has been ridiculously busy. There is just no other way to put it. We started off the day buy heading to Walmart and picking up Halloween costumes, the boy are both going to be Vampires. Cayleigh-Grace has a Sleeping Beauty costume that I bought her but I am thinking now that I am going to try and find/make a vampire costume for her so they all match!

The we headed to the cemetery to try and find where KS's dad is buried, he died in a motorcycle accident in 2000. I have only been to his grave site once and that was probably 7 years ago. So needless to say I was unsuccessful in finding it but I did finally talk to the boys about what happened and know they know that their daddy really did have a dad. They had never noticed that he didn't so I figured I would just go ahead and explain the "edited" version of what happened. With Kiale being 6 now I thought it was time that he learned why Grammy had all of the scares and where his Grandpa was.

After that we had about an hour and a half before we had to be at a birthday party. It was so sweet watching "L" open all of his birthday presents. They boy is in love with all things Thomas the Train. He was thrilled with all of his new Thomas toys. He just turned 3 and I honestly think he already knows the names to all of the trains on the show!

We weren't home an hour when we decided to go and scout out the woods where KS will be hunting for the few weeks he will be home during hunting season. They woods where he is at is absolutely beautiful. There is even a creek that runs through the property. I had C-G in my sling while we were walking through the woods and I have to admit I do no think she will be using that one again. It killed my back. Although it probably doesn't help that she was in my Hip Hammock the entire hour and a half we were in Walmart either. 24lbs on your front hanging off of you gets darn right heavy and unpleasant after a while.

We ended our day relaxing at KS's God parents house watching football and just chilling out. His God mother happens to be Colin's teacher this year and was Kiale's teacher last year. Dixie and Dylan also stopped buy so I could take some Senior pictures of them... don't worry I will share the pictures with you tomorrow!! At this point I am just happy to be home and I am fixing to crash in my bed!

*Did I mention that today is Cayleigh-Grace 13th month day, Wow.*

Boys

I love having boys, they are a blast to play with and are awesome to get rowdy with... but lately they have been driving me crazy! They are, well Kiale started it, at the stage where everything that has to do with any type of bodily function is hilarious and must be shared with everyone. I am almost to the point where if I hear the word "fart, poot, butt, Mr. Poopypants... etc." I think I am going to loose it! With having grown up in a house where the only male was my Dad and some of the cats I am not used to things like this and frankly I am not liking having to get used to the idea of hearing about said functions daily for the next 12 years +. They cannot seem to understand that passing gas and burping annoys me greatly... or maybe they have realize it and that is why they seem to do both things nonstop...

Blogtoberfest- October is here!!

Whats up with the button right? I am participating in blogtoberfest 2009! So during the month of October I am committed to daily blogging of some sort, so go ahead and join me in the fun and head over here and sign up!

Okay, so to tell you the truth I thought I was going to completely freak out once October got here but really, I'm fine. No freak outs not weird moods, nothing! Lets just hope it stays that way. We are down to 45 days until I drop KS off at the hotel for basic training... goodness its going to fly bye. Thankfully that goes both ways and his time apart from us is going to go bye quickly as well.

I just had a quick question, has anyone else s kids been absolutely CRAZY this week. I think mine have been in trouble nonstop since Monday. I am wondering what happened in their brains b/c whatever it is needs to fix itself so they can regain their sanity and I can give my voice a break from yelling and fussing nonstop! I don't know if its the cooler weather or what but their attitudes sure are annoying. I went through yesterday and pulled out all of the cold weather clothes, Cayleigh-Grace fits into 18 month pants perfectly. I have never had a baby fit into that length of pants this early. Colin was wearing 24 month pants at this age but that was because he was so big around, sorry Colin! I think I had to roll his pants up four times just so he could still walk in them...
