It's a Pumpkin, It's another year older, It's a Christmas Tree... It's another catch-up blog!!!

Phew! I am finally getting caught up on the past three months. Who knew you could get so busy? As much as I love the last 3 months of the year, it is sometimes nice when the new year gets here and things slow down a bit! We aren't near as busy so I'm not near as exhausted when the day comes to an end which leads to me getting some blogging done! It's actually kind of fun to go back through all the pictures we had taken and re-live the moments again. Boy do I love the person that invented the camera! Here are some links to previous posts I never got around to until now...

Pigs, Pumpkins, Pottying and Hayden's "New Arm"!!!

Fifteen...

Hayden Turns 3!

Cookies for Santa!

O Christmas Tree...

As Matt always says, I have about a million of these posts started at once. Unfortunately, I just don't get around to posting them like I wish I could. Sleep and shows are important too you know!:) What have we been up to since Christmas you ask? Well, we have put up our decorations(boo, hoo, hoo... I hate that part!), which made our house look empty by the way, we have played with our new toys, did some after Christmas shopping/returning, put up some Valentine's decorations and mostly just tried to get caught up. We did find a few Christmas rubber duckies that got left out of the "putting up" process...

And we still managed to have fun with them after Christmas!

Fun with bubbles!

As you can see the boys are still thoroughly enjoying bath time! Gigi and Grandaddy got them three different rubber duckies at the beginning of December and we played with them all month long during baths. They were actually sad when I told them this would be their last bath with them until next year! Yes, they are now put safely away waiting for December to come around again! Good thing we don't ever have to put up the train table, I don't know what I would do without it some days...

A few new track and train additions after Hayden's birthday and Christmas!

Train time fun!

Such a cutie!

The boys love it!

Hayden especially likes connecting the trains like this!

And Sawyer loves all the tunnels!

He will put his entire hand through the tunnel which almost always makes the entire track crash. Such a mess, but SO much fun! Kind of like this...

Oh how I love this child!

This was one day this past week when I had them upstairs playing in Sawyer's room because I was finishing up some laundry. When I say they made a huge mess you could not even possibly begin to imagine what I mean. Finishing up the laundry was definitely not worth it! BUT, once the room was destroyed anyways, we decided to just finish up with the fun!

Hayden loved doing flips all over the room which is not usually
something I would encourage... well not since
our cast incident anyways!:)

And Sawyer loved jumping off his big chair!

As a matter of fact, Hayden enjoyed his time with that chair as well!

The whole time I was folding clothes, I could hear Sawyer
banging on this drum, but I had NO idea he was
having quite so much fun with it!

And I'm just hoping Hayden didn't "help" Sawyer get off and
on this chair when I wasn't in the room supervising!
Note to self... they cannot play alone for more
than 2 minutes without you popping
your head in. Five minutes may
just be too long!:)

This is what Hayden looked like after he finished one of his "flips"! Yay!

And this is exactly what I saw when I first
popped my head into the room!

Let's just say they were having more than fun!!!

Although I won't be doing laundry anytime soon with the boys playing in a different room, I will be changing up our play locations more often. Apparently a change of scenery and some new activities every once in a while does a world of good! Laundry gone bad turned into a load of fun!
