Boys, Boys, Boys

Here are just a couple new pics of Joshua and Gregory that I absolutely love! 

Gregory is becoming such a big boy!  Potty-trained and all!  We were FINALLY able to spike Gregory's hair--he's always concerned about people laughing at him...and of course he got lots of compliments, but still we have to convince him to do it again.

Not too sure what Joshua is thinking or wishing he could say to Gregory in the third photo!

On the last picture, Joshua had pulled the picture down from the bookcase...the picture is the only way we have a three generation photo with Tom's dad, as the picture is of Tom and Tom's dad (both when they were in basic training).




It's been awhile again...I am soooo looking forward to Thanksgiving

As usual it's been a while since I've posted and I can honestly say we haven't been bored!  Tom's been VERY busy with NCO Academy and his other class (through SAGU)...among other things (teaching Jr High Sunday School, teaching Jr High NOW service, planning other youth events, etc)...and I have been busy baking, cooking. chasing Joshua and Gregory, shopping, hosting a baby shower, attending another baby shower, attending MOPS, etc.

We have managed to fit in some fun too...Tom hung out with some of the other guy youth leaders to check out a thing called Extreme Challenge...where we are going to take our youth to for a New Year's Eve Party...we also stopped at one of our youth events, a Turkey Bowl, which was at the park behind our house...and then there was our youth pastor's son's 4th birthday party and I hosted a Gerber Party.  Whew!  And of course that's not even all!

All that to say...I am soooooooo looking forward to getting away for a couple of days for Thanksgiving...we are going to head up to Winterpark, CO to check out the YMCA of the Rockies (Snow Mtn Ranch), where we'll be having our Winter Retreat for our youth group in March.  So we will get to relax and enjoy it while we are checking out some specifics since Tom is organizing our youth winter retreat again this year.



To SEE more of our fun check out our pics here...

Joshua's 10 months old

I figured I better hurry up and get Joshua's 10 month photo and post up before he's 11 months old!  So here are the pics of Joshua and Gregory.  How crazy is this!  The same shirt!  I didn't know this until just now when I was pulling up the to pictures...so crazy!  The first picture is Joshua and the second one is Gregory.

Shutterfly Holiday Cards


Shutterfly!  Wow, I have a TON of photos here…so this year we are going to do a photocard and hopefully next week (Thanksgiving) we’ll get a great photo to put on our card.  If not, maybe we’ll do a photo montage of the year in pictures like this one. 


 Why Shutterfly you might be asking?  Well, I have had great success with them!  If this sounds like a commercial for Shutterfly, it is…simply that.  I found a great opportunity to get 50 free holiday cards and that’s what I’m gonna do…get my 50 cards for free.  You want to find out more about this?  Check it out here!

Here are a couple of my other favorite designs…not sure what we’re going to use yet, but here are some favs from the new 2010 designs…I especially like that they have some nice religious christmas cards.
 In case you aren’t familiar with Shutterfly let me share a little more about it….I’ve hosted a Shutterfly House Party and got great freebies from Shutterfly this way (ink pens and bags galore!)  I have also gotten quite a few other freebies from Shutterfly (a free 8 x 8 hardback book when we did our baby registry for Joshua before he was born and other photobooks). 

Here are some links to some of the great things they offer…
