That time of year...

The big boys start back to school next week. I went ahead and did their school pictures.


Andrew is going to be in the 7th grade this year. His 13th birthday is in 2 weeks!


Austin is going into the 5th grade. He is 10 years old. This year he is going out for student council.


Alex will be 5 next week! While most of his friends are heading off to kindergarten we are keeping him home for an extra year.




Where is Maddox? Hey, when was the last time you got an almost 2 year old to sit still?!?!?

POTD - Focus Into 2008 - 2

I will focus on being a better Mom and not let him eat so much dirt!
Seriously, I was doing the aperture lesson and not paying him as much attention as I should have been and found this dirty face when I was done. I think he got his 1 pound of dirt all in today. :-)

Just my 3rd little guy. LOL We were playing in his room with some wonderful morning sun. I just wish there would have been a bit more. LOL

Both pictures have a bump in curves and a little playing with brightness and contrast.

POTD - Poor Baby

My little man got his shots yesterday. I hate shots so much. I can't wait until this part of his life is over. (On another note my 4 year old got his flu shot and didn't cry a bit. I bribed him with Mac-N-Cheese LOL)
