Pumpkins!!!

Well, it is pumpkin carving time! We were supposed to go to a pumpkin patch this past weekend, but it was way too windy and cold. The kids were so disappointed so I took them to Walmart to get pumpkins and they were good with that. It is amazing the problems and Walmart can fix! Connor got into carving his pumpkin. He even got his hands dirty getting the seeds out. Anna ate part of the top of her pumpkin. She had a couple of bites before we saw what she was doing. Oh well! Luke go naked as usual. Mema and G-pa Sir came over to drop off some goodies and Luke put Anna's boots on and walked around with Steve's cane (note the picture). Other than that, not too much going on here. I better get going for tonight! Have a nice Halloween!

We're Back!!!!

Okay okay, I know it has been forever since I have updated. I am trying to turn over a new leaf. Actually, I am going to work real hard to just try and remember my password this time!!! Well, how is everybody?? The Hamilton's are as crazy as ever. We are back into our school routine. Connor is loving his school this year. I can't believe he will be in Kindergarten next year. It doesn't seem possible! Luke packs his backpack everyday to go to Stacy's. This is a big ordeal EVERY morning. He has to decide which trains to take! Anna is running the show. She picks out what shoes she wants the boys to wear every morning. If they don't want to wear that pair she throws a fit, and only she knows what she is saying! School is good this year. We have a lot of change, but I feel like things are settling down. Andy's season is slowing down now too which is nice. Oh well, I will post some pictures. I promise an update once a week!

Smores!

The kids have been spoiled almost every night that we grill (which is all the time) with smores after dinner. Here are some pictures of the nightly event. I have a hard time keeping Anna off the table. I am afraid she is going to be a table dancer!

Summer Time!!!

Well, summer is in full swing at the Hamilton house. We are into a great routine! The kids are so much fun. They always want to be outside or at the pool. We got the kids a new swing set that they LOVE! We also got a little pool for the backyard. I have a great babysitter to help me at the town pool. Her name is Haley and she is great with the kids and they LOVE her. I was afraid that Connor would be scared of the water, but he loves it! The first day we went he got out too far and was yelling for help and laughing at the same time. He wasn't going to be able to go under if he wanted to because he had on floaties and had a ring around his waist. The lifeguards were all laughing at him. Luke and Anna like the water too. Anna is walking everywhere. She is 1 going on 16. She pretty much runs the show. I will post some pictures now. I will try to get some of them at the pool. Enjoy these for now!

Anna is 1!!!

Well, Anna is almost one! We had her birthday this past weekend. It was a great party! We had 32 family and friends here. Luckily the storms held off until after the party. Connor and Luke had to "help" open all of Anna's presents. Then they both had to try on different hats that she got. I think Luke wore one of Anna's hats all day!

It is officially summer break here. I am already having so much fun with the kids. I love teaching (it is easier), but staying at home is so much fun! It is raining today and the kids have not gotten dressed yet (but that is nothing new for Luke!). Enjoy the pictures!

You and me going fishin in the dark!

The boys went fishing for the first time yesterday. We had a great time at Connie and Wade's house. Andy and I were talking about how our boys are never going to want to leave their house because of all the fun toys! They woke up talking about fishing. They did not catch anything...although I thought Luke was going to catch someone in the face since he would not leave the thingy (I am not a fisherman) in the water! It was so great to see all the cousins together. Family is so important. Thanks for the fun day!

Sleepy Boy!

The other night we were eating dinner and looked over at Luke who was eating his corn at the new picnic table and he was asleep while sitting up. Occasionally, he would wake up and take a few bites of corn. It was so funny. Andy got a new smoker for his birthday and we had his family down for smoked everything....he made a brisket, pork butt, and a chicken. It was all great! Oh well, I better get going. There is laundry to fold and put away....ALWAYS!
