Another month, another lack of blogging

Ok, I realize that it has been almost an entire month since I have blogged, but I have been trying to stay on top of my house a little better which means very little computer time.
That and my children are needy. It is a rare moment that they are playing by themselves and when those moments occur I am usually scrambling to get something done. (you know like cook super, or clean something, or get on facebook get some work done on the computer)

 I still have not blogged about my baby turning 1. That or maybe I am just still trying to process it.


I could probably blog every day about this guy. The words that come out of his mouth and the things that he comes up with keep me laughing all day.



We tried letting him stay up a little later the other night to watch Cars 2. He didn't make it very far. :)


My boys have moments when they get along great and play well together...


...and I know that someday they will be best friends...



....but oh boy do they fight! Lincoln screams the minute Kallen touches him, which makes Kallen mad, and I'm pretty sure his thought process is "I'll give you something to scream about", which leads to me coming in to save the day. Sometimes I sit back and let it happen- just hoping that they will learn to work it out on their own- but we are just not quite there yet. By 4pm everyday- this gets pretty old.

We have learned recently that all you have to do is take the boys to Bass Pro Shops and they are in heaven! We met Shawn's family there last week for dinner
(Faith is looking at me like "why won't your son hold my hand?")


Thank goodness for Shawn's cousin Alexis who was so patient and great at entertaining the kids while we finished dinner. 

and while the guys went bowling, and the ladies shopped, my mother-in-law and I tried to keep up with 2- 2year olds and Lincoln as they were turned loose in the store.

My kids wanted nothing to do with Santa, but here their cousins Faith and CJ being very brave!


These boys would spend hours on the four wheelers if we'd let them.



Typical kids- I hold up the camera and Faith smiles and poses, while Kallen starts moving uncontrolably while making engine noises.



They had a blast racing these little cars!



Exploring the ice fishing huts



And watching the fish!


I am pretty sure this will be our go to place this winter. There are not the crowds of the mall playplace, my husband is also in heaven, and I am not tempted to spend any money, and Shawn actually controls himself very well despite the hundreds of things he would probably love to buy!

I will try to catch up on blogging soon. Although I am not going to make any promises. :)
