It's been a long time!

Wow! I just looked to see when I last updated this and it was December 4th. YIKES! Since I became a facebooker, I forgot about our blog. Here are some recent pictures for my "non-facebook" friends and family! Enjoy!

A Day on the Farm

Last Saturday, Noah went with some friends to a farm outside of Sioux Falls. He had so much fun riding the four wheeler, riding the horses (which he informed me were named "Dick and Dan". They even took a carriage ride. He came home smelling like the farm, it was a perfect day!!!

Halloween in South Dakota

The boys had a lot of fun going door to door Trick or Treating this year. This was the first time they had done that. Zachary just ate "Nandy" all night, and Noah just enjoyed being with new friends. It was only our second night in Sioux Falls, so our good friends showed us the "hot spots"!

Noah, as Luigi!

Zachary, the little Lion!!

Our New Home

Well, we don't have to live in a snow fort!!! We have a house. Here are a few pictures of our new house in Sioux Falls:

Asleep at the Table

I love when kids fall asleep while eating!! I think it is the cutest thing. I remember my little brother falling asleep in his food many times. Yesterday, I looked over at lunchtime to find Zachary asleep. As I was getting ready to post, I remembered that I had a picture of Noah asleep in his high chair as well. The first one is Zachary, and the second one is Noah. It is fun to see the similarities and differences in the boys.

A Trip to the Beach

After a very busy week with MusiCamp, we decided we needed a little R and R at the beach. We took a trip to Santa Cruz and to Capitola. The boys has a blast on the beach. Noah loved getting buried with sand and looking at the Tide Pools. Zachary just liked getting sand EVERYWHERE! Mommy decided that the beach would be so much better if it didn't have so much sand!! One of the highlights was finding three Starfish on the beach. We rescued two of them that seemed to still be alive. The third one was pretty stiff, so we brought him home!!

This picture makes me laugh. They look like they are in a deep conversation about these houses!!

Happy Birthday, Henry!

The week we returned from Minnesota there were a lot of fires, so it was very smokey. The kids were going crazy because they couldn't be outside. We were talking about things we could do, and Noah informed us that we needed to have a birthday party for Henry since we got him on our trip to Minnesota one year ago. So Noah and I made invitations and party hats. The guest list included Noah, Cody(Zachary's bear), Diego, Daddy, Mommy, and Zachary. A great time was had by all, however, Trevor and I have decided "Boy, has our life changed"!!!

All the guests sitting down for dinner!!

Henry even had a cake!!!
