Yes, yes I am posting Halloween in April...deal with it!

Well apparently I have about a year of blogging to do...I was looking at how long it's been since I've blogged and I'm just plain bad at this! I think my life has gotten slightly busy and I've let a few things slide. Anywhooo, I realized that I never posted images from the amazing wedding of Dan and Emmy in our backyard last summer. So here you go! This sure gets me wishing for summer to get here...like now please.

Back To School 2011

The kids started school yesterday. Well, Tanner and Tate started school yesterday. Tanner is in 6th grade now, last year of innocence before Junior High begins! Tate is in 2nd grade this year and we're excited to see him progress. Taylor is homeschooling this year (8th grade). We aren't traditional home schoolers though, she is doing a virtual online academy where she works online and in books with a supervising teacher and virtual class. Tallula is currently on a waiting list to get into pre-school so we'll see if that happens. If not then I'm happy to keep her a baby one more year!

Instead of the traditional picture on the front porch, I decided to get a little creative and style something a little more fun. The kids had fun posing for this and I think it helped that I let them take a swig of the coke!

Tate's Camping Party

While we were camping I threw Tate a surprise birthday party. It was a totally last minute decision and I'm so glad that I was able to throw it together. He was so surprised and touched. His face when everyone yelled surprise was absolutely priceless. I can't believe my little man is turning 7 already. Time is flying by me...

 I pulled off these s'more cupcakes all by myself...that's saying a lot!

SURPRISE!!!

Oh my gosh, isn't he the cutest thing ever?!
