Every day I have best intentions of sitting down to write something and there is always something else to do!

I have been working over 30 hours a week.  They have us on an unlimited supply, so figured I need to make hay while the sun shines.  Not sure how long we will be unlimited, but hoping at least through the end of October.

Some changes around here these days.  It sounds ridiculous, but with JR's work and him always moving client's cars to and from the airport, it is easiest if we have 4 vehicles.  One of our vehicles recently died and we have replaced it with a 2011 Subaru Outback.  It is the nicest/newest of our 4 vehicles and that is partly because we are considering it as a car for Benjamin when he starts driving.  That is still about 18 months away, but hard to believe it is already on our radar.

We also moved some things around in the house.  We have had a 3 bedroom and all the boys have shared a room.  It was getting a little too close for comfort, so I cleared out the extra bedroom (was my office/sewing/sanity room).  Benjamin has moved into that room and it has made a world of difference!  It is interesting to see though, that none of the rooms are any cleaner!

Several weekends ago we took a Sunday drive to a nearby ghost town. 

Doesn't he look thrilled!


Joseph loved panning for gold!  He actually had a speck of gold one time.


Joseph behind bars.

He thought the desks were something cool.

I can't imagine this on a playground these days.

Yesterday Jacob had his first football game.  There was a rather large kid on the opposing team that got in quite a few hits on Jacob.  It wore him out.  There were a few illegal hits and hits from behind.  An eye opener for that kid.


It is probably hard to tell in this picture, but this is Joseph's bed.  He has about 20 stuffed animals that encircle him and 3 blankets.  (His head is in the lower left corner).  He has some barnwood on the side, so he has an awesome, cozy spot that he hunkers down in.

Fall is quickly arriving!  My favorite time of the year is jeans, sweatshirts and flip flops!
