So much going on, so little time!

Seems like yesterday when I got laid off and I thought I would have time to enjoy my summer.  Well I have but it has been at a much faster pace that I thought it would be! We have had a baby shower, the arrival of a sweet baby (my nephew) and a family reunion!  It has been a lot of fun, but it kept me busy and the time passed fast!! Now here we are 2 weeks from the boys going back to school and 3 weeks till I start nursing school.  I am excited and nervous all at the same time!!

So what have we been up to in between?  The boys, of course have been playing outside, swimming and driving each other crazy!! It still amazes me at the Love/Hate relationship between 2 brothers.  But I am sure that it is that way with all siblings.  Clay and I were always like that and still are sometimes.  :) But I  know in the end (at least I hope) that they'll be best friends when they are older!  I remind them that they are stuck with each other and there is no changing that!

We have also be getting lots of down time and time with the family.  And of course getting lots of love from sweet KJ or Kyle Jr (whichever you want to call him).  We are enjoying spoiling him, if there is such a thing at this age!! He is such a sweet laid back little man!!  Colton and Pierce adore him.  I wasn't sure that they would really pay much attention to him or want much to do with him but I was wrong.  (Pierce did tell me that he wasn't excited before KJ arrived because he wouldn't be big enough to play in the mud with him yet...haha sounds just like Pierce).

Love this picture.  KJ is so alert and is looking at Colton like he

is trying to figure him out!! Colton is so sweet with him!

Pierce is crazy about KJ too!! This is such a sweet picture!

Don't forget the lazy days either!  We were spending the day at Grandma's.

Pierce loves to sit in Grandma's lap AND watch Western's with her!

He really wasn't asleep in this picture just acting that way because

I was taking a picture, in true Pierce fashion!!

Another thing is that the boys love to watch us cook.  We let them help every once in a while.. Hey gotta start them young right?  I want them to be great cooks like their daddy and make their wives happy one day! I love having a husband that is a good cook and likes to cook!!

Just a little catch up on what has been going on around here.  I have really enjoyed having the extra time with the boys, even though I can NEVER keep my house clean now that we are home all the time. I just thought I couldn't keep it clean when I worked and the boys were in after school care, but now that we are at home most days it is really hard! But I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  I know that the next 2 years are going to be rather crazy with all the school work, clinicals and TONS of studying but I am staying focused on the result, which will be well worth all the blood, sweat and tears! I know that this is where God has called me and I know that he will see me through!! We will give him all the Praise and Glory of this journey that he has called our family too!
