And the best way to share more in my opinion?!  Pictures!!  And lots of 'em!!

 

Meemi came for a visit....

 

Picking her up at the airport!!

 

the big boys love to play games with their Meemi!

and Dylan loves to do puzzles with her!

ice cream date!!

 

this is my abc book that Meemi made me when I was a little girl!  I haven't seen it in years and Meemi brought it to me!!  LOVE!  Brings back so many sweet memories!

one last hug and a tough goodbye.  it never gets easier but I'm so thankful for this time we had with her!

 

 

The day that Meemi left we were all kinda bummed and I know I didn't really feel like doing school work so instead we worked together on this 400 piece puzzle!  One of the things I love about homeschooling!  It took a couple of hours, a lot of patience and perseverance but we did it and the boys were super proud!!

 

all done and proud!!

 

 

Next up was Halloween!!  Brayden and Dylan dressed up and still enjoy trick or treating but Colby is "too cool" for trick or treating! ;)  My bestie's hubby LOVES Halloween, is always the scariest house in the neighborhood, and Colby has had so much fun helping him Halloween night for the last couple years.

 

Headed out w/ a duck hunter, spider man, and a soon to be creepy clown! ;)

 

Dylan and his "best fwend Ashwey"!  Cuties!

Our trick or treating crew!!

and here's Colby.  Creepy.

 

 Last weekend, we went to the Blue Angels Homecoming air show!  Our favorite is the night show!  The Blue Angels don't perform, but we are very fortunate that we get to see the Blues fly every time they practice (which is often! they fly RIGHT over our house!) so we like to go see the dark show!  They have all kinds of really neat stuff and lots of fireworks!!

 

the show kicks off with sky divers and the first one displays the flag while they play the national anthem!  Super cool!

 

the whole group!

 

the kiddos were captivated!!

 

me and my lil guys! and RIGHT after this pic my phone died. boo!  so no more air show pics!!

 

And I know I've posted about Dylan's soccer quite a bit but I was so proud of him after his game on Saturday!!  He scored 3 goals and did so well participating during the game.  Two of his goals were in the wrong goal but we'll take what we can get!  Haha!!  He was so proud of himself and we had lots of fun watching!

 

so proud of my crazy lil guy!

 

Life feels like its moving at warp speed!!  I cannot believe its already time for Thanksgiving and Christmas but I'm doing my best to enjoy these sweet boys of mine and the crazy, sometimes chaotic life that God has blessed us with!!
