Congratulations to The Jets! District 4 Champions!!

I can't figure out how to move this above photo to the bottom! Anyhow...this is what Nathan did during the game. He walked around the track over and OVER with Mackenzie. They were best friends from 1st grade until 6th grade when she became "popular". They are just starting to hang out again. I just had to snap a photo.

After a grueling 2 day, 4 games tournament (one day in the pouring rain), Myrons soccer team won the District 4 champion tournament and now will go on to compete in the State tournaments December 6th and 7th in Arlington. They have had intense games all through the season and today was no different. It was amazing to watch these boys, most have played Select Soccer (a league for kids that want to play and learn more). Their team work was amazing. Myron has never played better. I am very proud of him. Of course, the girls are always attracted to Brennan and this little girl followed him around the entire game. He loves playing with younger kids and is very good with them.

Mae....of course decided to play in the water and was soaked before long.

Weekend Review

The Christmas House opened up for the season on Saturday and Nonny and I took the girls. We picked up some fun stuff and visited with the owners, who are dear friends.

I grew up with Carolee's daughter and spent lots of time in this house as a teenager. She sells handmade and vintage items and it is always a treat to see her.

Rylan lost his first tooth! He was so scared to lose it. I finally just asked to wiggle it and pulled it out myself.

Friday, some friends of ours Shannon and Wilo asked to take Mae and so Shane and I went out on a date. We had a great time and even managed to stop by a friends house and hang out for a while. Mae had a great time and of course.....didn't want to leave.

Fun weekend for sure. :)

A two year old....the best birth control

Nevermind that Mae has drawn with pen on every surface of my house, or has decided to cut her hair, not once.....but twice this week. It was this that I walked in on after foolishly taking a 5 minute shower today. Needless to say...I still can't figure out how to get all the keys back on and now have to buy a wireless keyboard for my barely 6 month old laptop. This comes at such a great time with just 7 days left until the bazaar and me staying up all hours of the night....TYPING!

Oh.....Mae....I am thankful for the reminder that I will never have to deal with the terrible twos again. Well.....not until I am a grandparent and can give them back.

Interviewed and photographed....

Yesterday was my big interview with the editor of the Bainbridge Review, our local newspaper.
Today was my big photo session with a photographer that came all the way from Everett to shoot an artsy edgy photo of me. It was exciting. My friend and makeup artist, met me at Nonny's house to do my hair and makeup so that I looked very 50's ish. At the end of the makeup and hair session, Hyrum came up to me and said ..."KK, you look.....weird". Not the comment I was hoping for. He said..."You don't look like YOU". I said....is that good or bad, he said " Bad" and got upset.
Apparently, makeup doesn't suit me. I just don't look reckognizable. Norah, would barely even come to me afterwards. I have to admit, I felt like I had a mask on with all the fake lashes and makeup. It took over an hour to do and I could NEVER take the time (or would want to) do that!
I am fine with mascara and lipstick (on a good day). Anyhow, the shoot went great and I can't wait to see the final product out this Friday! If you get a copy, please save it for me. Chances are I will totally forget. My brain isn't right these days!

Ps- This is a photo my hubby took, I will post the ones that the makeup artist took later on.
You can't tell how 50's my hair is in this one, and I shed the eyelashes and hair do as soon as the shoot was over.

While the dogs are away......the cats will play

Today, for the first time......all three of my older boys went on a scout campout together. As I type this..it is nearly 2am and I can't stop thinking about how cold they must be. I packed enough clothes, but who knows if they will remember that I packed them? I didn't put notes in their backpacks either, which is driving me crazy. I am not going to sleep well tonight, this I know. I just picture them shivering cold.

On a brighter side, Rylan ane Mae sure had fun playing Nathans guitars. All I kept thinking about tonight is how much I miss my boys. I could never be a mom of just two kids. It is just so lonely. We really miss the boys.



Hurry back safe boys. We miss you too much!

Special date with Rylan

To catch up, The boys are pictured above taking flags down on Veterans Day. We thoroughly enjoy doing this as a family and felt very patriotic doing so. When else can I watch my boys acting together to get a job done for a good reason? I felt very proud.

On to what this blog is really about......my amazing date night with the Rylan man.
I just adore this boy......and all my kids, but really REALLY fell in love with this little man all over again tonight. Tonight was our fun night and we went to dinner at our favorite restaurant, shopped for a special toy, and hit Dairy Queen on the way back. As we pulled into the driveway..
Rylan said to me "mom, this was the BEST night of my life". Oh, how I love him.
Rylan photographing me. Mmm Los Cabos.
Just so you know........I may ADORE my Rylan man.....but equally adore this little sweet pea falling asleep on the sofa waiting for her mama to get home. I love the butt up in the air, baby position. Someday.........she will be a young woman.
And........yes......I also adore these wonderful young men......asleep as they are. I love to get into bed with them while they are asleep and hold them for just a little bit. Sorry Nathan, you are on the top bunk, so you just get kisses and love notes.

Being a mom is amazing. Remind me of this when I have bad days!
