I know, I know, it's been OVER a year since I last posted!! Just know up front, that I am not even going to try to catch-up; it's too intimidating. But, in an effort to record the little things in our lives, and keep our family's history alive, I am going to start again. I guess the year 2015 will, for the most part, have to be checked out on Instagram, because that's where most of the memories have been kept. But, I realized that those memories are incomplete without the narrative to go with them, so I'm back a' bloggin'! Let's just start with October. Here we go!!
Brothers bonding over Video game videos. Notice the smirk on Elliott's face; he never minds when he gets a snuggle from Archie.
I was down with a cold, so Harmony stepped in and took Archie for the afternoon. She is so great; always an adventurer, she took Archie acorn hunting at the park. He loved it.
This is my great-big preschooler. It's actually pretty amazing that he is making eye-contact with the camera; he has this thing about looking at you when you're trying to take his picture!!! They must be pretty good at their job!
This guy loves sports, but especially football. In fact, he loves it so much, that he didn't complain once that they never won. He is just always happy to be out there playing with his friends. He wants to do TACKLE football next year....we'll see about that.
He also turned 10 this year!! He did his best to convince me that it was a HUGE deal that he is turning double-digits because it is only time in his life he will ever go from single to double-digits. He's right you know. He'll make a good lawyer someday.
We can't forget Halloween!! Pumpkin carving: basketball, pirate, and a pumpkin carved in a pumpkin.
Once, Archie's favorite things were the princesses; he loved them! Then he moved on to pirates and all things bad guys. It only makes sense that he now loves witches, SEA-witches actually. They are kind-of like bad guy princesses, right?
At his barnyard preschool Halloween party, he dressed as a wolf. He decorated his cookie, but of course, he didn't eat it. Food trauma runs deep in this one.
Our ward does an annual Trunk-or-Treat and Soup and Scream carnival. Lucy was extra excited because the Young Women put it on and she got to help out. Kristine, Maric, and Lucy's friend, Grace came to celebrate with us.
Big month for Elliott I guess!! He also started basketball again. Mike says this is HIS sport! It is so much fun to watch.
Halloween night with a TACKLE football guy, a Sriracha bottle, a nerd, and Superman!
Elliott was the master of tape when he was four. I remember Grandma and Papa got him 12 colorful rolls of masking tape for his fourth birthday. Now, he is nice enough to pass that love and knowledge on to his younger brother. Deluxe monster truck ramp, done before they left for school that morning.
My sweet girl, Lucy. Sweet and silly; best combination in my opinion!!! On the left, she is wearing a plastic nose that came with some fake glasses in a Halloween goodie bag. She had us all cracking up, but her laugh is the most fun to listen to. In the picture on the right, she is honoring her Aunt Christa on school Superhero day.
She is also getting so good at playing the trumpet for school Band!!! This is a picture of Archie enjoying her Christmas music.
Then, being the great big-sister that she is; she decided he could try too.
Hopefully, I'll be back before next year to tell you more!
