The Blog is BACK!!

After almost two years of not blogging AT ALL, I’m ready to get back on the band wagon. I have a new computer, and therefore, I have no more excuses not to.

There’s always that thing about not having the time to devote to writing also, but that comes with the territory of being a Mom of two growing boys. Time is precious and is a definite hot commodity around our house. I seem to have problems with always making sure I’m spending it wisely when I do have some “extra” time. This year I have been really good about making sure that I spent that time working out. Now, that my half-marathon running day is over, I’m back to wanting to just lay down and take a nap when I have a minute.

The boys are getting HUGE. I mean, everything about what they are doing now says they are out of the baby stages and on to becoming little men who think for themselves, put up a fight when they have their own ideas about what they should be doing and learning to do little things on their own every day. Brentley recently got mad at me for trying to pull his pants on for him. “My turn!” he said. “My Do It!” OK, OK, fine. I see. You don’t need me to pull up your pants anymore. Now, just let me sit over here and cry for a minute.

So, officially, it’s been a year and eleven months since I last posted pictures and updates for the boys. I'm going to keep updating it as I find time and make up for all the lost posts.

Here are some recent pictures of the boys (and these are not already on Facebook)…some hidden gems, if you will.
