Growing up too fast.

It's amazing how time flies. I can't get over how big these 3 are getting. They have 3 distinct personalities but in every way you can tell they are brothers. They always want to be with each other and do what the other is doing. It is very rewarding to watch them play together and know that they will always have each other.
Here they are watching Daddy working in the yard on the tractor.
They are probably all talking about the day when they get to drive the tractor. It will probably look like this.

Some Fall Pictures of the Boys

Election Day

Just a couple of hours to go until the polls are closed and the direction of this country is determined. Terrance and I voted on Friday during the early voting this year. It was nice not to have to worry about getting out today and getting it done but I think it took some of the fun out of it. We haven't talked much about it with the kids not realizing that they would have any idea what we were talking about. But as I picked up Colin yesterday from school and he proudly showed me his "I voted sticker", I soon realized that they know and understand more than I thought. Colin proudly told me he voted for Barack Obama must to my dismay. But we can only blame ourselves because we have never discussed the election with him at all. He said he knew who Obama was from the TV. I guess all of that money for advertising did pay off. Colin, bless the sensitive soul he is, was crushed when he thought Daddy was mad at him for voting for Obama. I told him it was ok and luckily his vote didn't count.

Dalton later announced he would vote for John McCain. He also pointed out who he was on the TV. It is quite amazing how perceptive these little boys are and how TV helps influence them. Now we know for the future that we have some work to do to help instill our conservative values in our children. Although once they turn 18 and register, its up to them to decide. Probably how my parents felt about this Republican.

Hope everyone voted and we can only now hope for the best.

Happy Halloween!

This year we had a red power ranger (Colin), Buzz Lightyear (Dalton) & Mickey Mouse (Ian). They were all very cute and so excited about going trick or treating. Even Ian caught on very quickly. He loved wearing his costume and getting candy even more. He managed to get something out that sounded a lot like trick or treat. We went to several houses and then came back home and had a little Halloween get together at our house. Terrance and I had a blast taking them and watching them love every minute of it. This is definitely what it is all about.

A final note, we will have candy for months.............anyone want any?
