Sorry faithful viewers! I've been slacking on the photos again! Where does the time go?? Well here are some photos...

This first set is from 2/9/09. The blue and gold banquet for the Cub Scouts. Colin received his Bobcat Badge and was so proud!

This next set is from my trip to Michigan to attend my grandmother's funeral.(These are for you, Mom!)
First, my cousins, Brendan and Mary Tully

Next, my cousin Raena Coughlin

Finally a group shot...sorta.
Aunt Karen Tully, my brother Danny, Uncle Tom Coughlin, me and Uncle Ken Coughlin

Valentine's Day donuts!!

Kerry finally decided to join the masses and get a Facebook account and he needed a profile photo. So I took this one. He ended up not using it, but I like it!!

And here are a few I took of Moochy yesterday. We went out and got him a bigger tank, a 55 gallon one. So I wanted some pictures of him in his 20 gallon home before we move him. I'll take more once he's snuggled into his new digs!

And this one I took today. Kyle and Colin have been really into 'Mixed up' pajamas lately. They always want to wear ones that don't match. Kids....who knows!

So what am I doing?

With all these pictures? Well at the end of the year I plan on getting them made into a 'Year in Review' type of book!! so here is the January page!

It's already perfectly sized for shutterfly and I'm so excited to have it done at the end of the year!!

Here are some photos from Friday and Saturday.

First, my RING!! Soo pretty! I had my wedding bands redone. Basically it was two rings and now it's one! And I had them do it in white gold instead of yellow!! I love it!

And on Saturday we went to the bowling alley down the street...we had a lot of fun.

not as behind as I thought!

Apparently I didn't download all the photos off my camera...here's some I missed.

Colin at the local fire house with the Cub Scouts.

The crashed up snowmobile. Daddy rear-ended another snowmobiler while out on the trails!! OUCH!

Colin eating...

The boys helping Daddy open his birthday gifts.

Ok, those are the one's I missed!

lol behind again!!

Ahh...the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. I really thought I'd be able to keep up...doesn't seem to be happening....well here's some pics from this past week.

Colin working hard on his valentines. This year he was able to do it all by himself! Sniff...sniff...My boy is getting so grown up!

My little bucket head soldiers!

So a few weeks ago Colin entered a contest to win a RS Tribot robot from 'Boys Life' magazing (a boy scout magazine). Well he didn't win the robot, but he got a super cool patch for entering!

Happy Birthday to me!! So Kerry kindof forgot about my birthday, but once he realized, he came home from work with this!

Ahhh...sweet redemption. I HAD to forgive him then. So guess what I had for lunch?!!

Ice cream cake!

Ok, not stressing

2009-01-25T19:02:00.003-06:00

Someone reminded me this is supposed to be about taking pictures, not blogging. So here are a few shots from this week. Yes I did miss 2 days being sick. I'm the chief picture taker and I've been down with something...not sure what!!

First up, the boys playing some sort of game on the computer. This is rare when Colin will actually let Kyle be in the same room when he's on there, so I had to capture it!

Next up, the cat, Molly. I don't know what the heck she's doing but I had to get a picture of it! And no, there is nothing in there but water!

And lastly, a drawing Colin did of a walrus. I don't know about you, but I can't draw at all, so this just amazes me!! He's even got the whiskers right!

Oh man!!

2009-01-21T08:19:00.006-06:00

It's only the middle of January and I've missed days....how am I going to keep this up for the whole year! I WILL!! Here's some from the last few days!

Here's Kyle...NOT sleeping. This is an hour after bedtime, I went in there to see what the noise was...he's playing his leapster!! Sheesh, this kid!

This next picture just makes me laugh. After about 2 seconds of conversation about what we should do now that we are down to one computer...Kerry runs to Walmart and buys this adorable tiny 'notebook'! I'm not allowed to touch it since I already 'hog' the laptop!!

Sigh...why buy expensive toys for your children? Mine will have fun with plastic cups!! Colin built this 'cup tower' and asked me to take a picture of it!! He was proud!

Well I'm a day late and a day short. I forgot to take a picture yesterday, but here are two from the 16th.

The first one is the boys with Grandma Kay. We went up to Green Bay to visit her that morning. I almost forgot to take a picture, but then right as we were getting in the car to leave, I took one. So that's why it's so dark, we are in the underground garage.

Now the day gets more interesting. Mommy wasn't paying attention to the gas gauge!! We ran out of gas!!! One exit away from the gas station. So this picture was taken while we sat on the shoulder of the highway freezing our butts off in the -14 degree weather. Good thing Daddy got there in 15 minutes to gas us up!!

Well today's picture is of the window with frost on the INSIDE. This morning it is -12 degrees F outside, with wind chills down to -35. The last time it was this FREAKING COLD here was 1994 and I was in college at UW-Oshkosh...we had school that day!! The kids are home from school and it's not supposed to warm up until after noon on Friday, so I'd be they'll be home tomorrow, too! Sigh...cabin fever anyone?? Must find something fun to do!!!

Here's the photo for today. This is the shot of Colin's pinewood derby car coming in first place at the race!! Yahoooo!! I couldn't go cuz I scheduled a PTO meeting here at the house for the same night! Waaaaah! So Daddy went and took photos. This is a great shot, even tho Colin isn't in it!!

Well today went by super fast!! Didn't do a whole lot, cleaned the upstairs, washed the couch covers and did a LO for ADSR 4!! A makeover of one of my first LO's, it was fun to see how far my style has come!! Anyway.....today's pic is of the boys, snuggled up in my bed watching cartoons. I'm TRYING to get their TV watching down to a minimum...not being very successful...sigh!

2009-01-10T11:12:00.001-06:00

Sigh....a momma and her boys. I sure love these little monsters. Today we are hanging out, daddy is in Milwaukee for a class. We'll be doing laundry and cleaning the toy room. Sound like fun? NO!!! But needs to be done!

2009-01-09T19:04:00.002-06:00

I didn't forget! I actually took this early this morning before Colin went to school. He and Kerry were painting his car for the Pinewood Derby. He's very excited to race it next Monday!!

What does an engineer do while he's been off work for 3 weeks and he's bored? Torture the cat with his son's Havoc Heli, of course!! I missed the part where she swatted it out of the air, but it was funny!! Here's a photo and a video!

Did you ever have one of those days where you stayed in your jammies ALL day?? Today was one of those days for me and Kyle! Here we are at 3:00 this afternoon....sigh! What a lazy day!! Although I did clean the turtle tank and the bathroom today! Worn overlay and frame by Simply Blue Studios.

Here's Colin this morning. He discovered a harmonica in the toy box and was trying so hard to make it sound. He first called it a bazooka. I'm guessing he was thinking kazoo since they do play those in music class at school. Worn overlay by Something Blue Studios.

Here's today's photo. My happy boy, just after getting home from school. He missed his friends and teacher, he was happy to get back to school. I think he needed a little break from his brother, too!

ok so I'm behind already!!

2009-01-05T08:58:00.007-06:00

Doesn't help if you go on vacation the first day of the year! But I did take my camera with me! So here are my photos for the first 5 days!!

Here's January 1, 2009
Colin and Kyle all set to leave for our trip! I told them to pretend they liked each other....this is what I got!

January 2, 2009
Colin and his dad working on his Pine Derby Racer for Cub Scouts. I just love these little moments...a boy and his dad, working together. I'm glad he joined Scouts and I hope he continues with it!

January 3, 2009
The boys and Dad playing chinese checkers. Well trying to, anyway. Kerry was trying to explain the rules, but the boys had their own ideas. This didn't last long..

January 4, 2009
Kyle all bundled up and ready to go play outside. This kid loves it out there. He spent the most time of any of us in the snow this vacation. We did make it to the snowhill once, but mom forgot the camera! Shame on me!!

365 days and counting!

2008-12-31T19:37:00.001-06:00

I've joined the fun group of ladies who are going to take a picture a day for a whole year...should be interesting!! I'll be documenting the travels here on this blog!!
