Halloween 2009

A day at the park

Hunter and Kevin at Yellowstone

Hunter and his Dad left for Yellowstone on Tuesday afternoon and were there watching "old faithful" by Wednesday afternoon. So far so good and the weather looks wonderful.

Visit with Grandma Rhyneer

The pictures are a bit out of order but you get the gist :)

Lego Ship with some brotherly love

This is Nate's hand and ship you are looking at. The great story here is that Nate really wanted a lego ship that looked just like the one that Will had made for himself. You can see a section of it in the picture. Will is the naked boy in the background.

Anyway, Nate didnt' think he could make one so Will said he would make one for him and that is exactly what he did. Nate is just as proud of the ship he didn't make as Will is of his own ship.

I am always amazed at the things that the little ones can make at the age of 3 1/2 and I believe that is directly due to their older brother being so prolific with his own lego building.

A visit to the dentist x 3

Well, I decided to take all three boys to the dentist at the same time. This actually worked out quite well and I didn't do too much running around. Luckily, the dentist they see has an incredible office that can accommodate multiple appointments at the same time.

Hunter is a pro at this so he did great. He has one cavity, but I don't consider that all that bad considering he is almost 10. Opted for a silver filling since its going into a baby tooth and I gave him the option of having the filling done and the sealants at the same time or to have it done in two trips. He opted for all an once... that's my boy... I would have chosen the same thing.

He gets Nitrous Oxide too just because its his first numbing experience, but he's had that before when he had his stitches so he should be ok.


The twins did great. This was their first x-rays and they both were perfect. Will decided he wanted to be the talker while Nate was a bit more sedate. No cavities, but a "watch" for Nate.

Some videos of Swimming

This one is of Hunter swimming. Kevin said I had the settings messed up so hopefully I will get better quality video the next time around.



This is of Will



This is of Nate

Nate and Will's 1st T-Ball "game". All the kiddos were super cute.

Video of Will Falling Asleep

Will has a tendency, oh ok, both boys have a tendency to fall asleep anywhere, but Will tends to do it on the floor. This was just too funny not to record.

First T -Ball Practice

Check out these pictures :) The boys had fun (I think). There was no crying or screaming so I think they enjoyed themselves. I would have to say that Nate was the most enthusiastic this time and Will was a bit reserved. It will be fun to see how they progress and of course we want to practice some at home. We ran to the store to get mitts, but the store we went to was completely wiped out. We'll have to head out tomorrow and see if we can something somewhere.







And finally, a picture of the boys in Trader Joes "shopping"

So behind on and not very good updating photos of the family and our doings. Have we been doing anything?? We at least had some sun in between the rain and hail today. The weather is so strange these days.

Anyway, I wanted to share a couple of pictures of the boys from a few days ago. Before I knew it, Nate was asleep upstairs on the comfy floor (lol) and not just on the floor but on a pile of books on the floor.

I took Will downstairs with me and next thing I know this is what he looks like.


They get the sleeping thing honestly by me. I think I can sleep anywhere too :)

I'm also going to share a picture of myself after I dyed my hair. I picked out a blue black and its very black, but obviously, I have dark hair so it doesn't really make a huge difference. I was just tired of seeing my gray so pronounced. I like the gray hidden.

The boys were quite disturbed by the whole rinsing process. I recall words such as "gross" and "disgusting". In fact, Will later told me before going to bed that it "really disgusted him and that he ran out of the bathroom screaming like a girl". Literally, that is what he said. Let me just tell you that all the teachers are going to know that Nate and Will have an older (quite a bit older) sibling by the words they use. Nice huh?
