He's just so cute!

I was noticing this morning as he headed out the door in his 'a little bit high water' pants, that he is changing fast.
You know those times when they have a growth spurt, or overnight their little faces seem to get a bit more mature? That's what I am seeing right now and I don't like it!

So, as I was looking through some pictures a few minutes ago, I found this one that was taken on Labor day weekend this year - this is my sweet Tim's face - just how I'd like it to stay for while longer!

it's official -

and isn't it exciting!

this is evidently what puppy love looks like these days!

Oh, Maggie...


sad thing is - this isn't the first time - probably won't be the last

big fear


who knew she was so afraid of little baby goats?


"please don't eat me - please don't eat me"

friends for life!


I am sure I have written a post much like this one in the past - but here are a few of the latest pics of Maggie and her Best girl friend, Haley:


They met just a few days after we moved into Forney way back in Maggie's 2nd grade year. Most people see them as being SO different - Maggie is gregarious and outspoken, while Haley is reserved and comes across as a bit of an introvert. (she's not, by the way)
Most people throughout the years have speculated that they would grow their own separate ways and be unable or unwilling to maintain their friendship.

Those people have been very wrong!

Maggie and Haley have stuck together and I can certainly see them staying close through boys and kids and jobs and anything else that may come their way.

I have seen them cry and fight and administer a bit of the silent treatment - I have seen them hug and snuggle and share secrets. I have seen them kick and punch and scream at one another. I have seen them giggle and sing and dance together.
They understand each other.



I recently was reminded of how much Maggie loves Haley, when she related an incident that happened at school (I will spare you the details) - as she was telling me about how happy she was for Haley, I could see the joy on her face and the tears in her eyes.
Maggie tells me all of the time how she thinks Haley is the most beautiful girl on the planet.
I am certain that Haley loves Maggie just as much.




Wouldn't it be nice to have a lifelong friend like that? These girls have something special and I envy them!

not a good day

it was a bad day for the vehicles at our house today

this shank was found in tommy's truck tire this morning - he knows when he ran over it - so this was no threatening message left for him!


a really bad day!

BOO!

Ok - we are SO MORMON!!

We started the Secret Boo Ghost treats in our neighborhood for Family Home Evening this week.

If you read this post and recognize your house, let me apologize for two things:
#1, sorry we rang the bell (probably A LOT) that late on a school night
#2, we are all sorry about the rice krispie treats - something went VERY wrong with them!

i love tim, but i'd like him to NEVER make that face again!


Justin and Maggie

Yes - everyone washed their hands!


filling each plate...


showing us their treats, pre-delivery...


justin was a ninja (doing a sneaky ninja roll) and tim has a gun - so idk what he was!


running for their lives!


this is tim - in case you couldn't see him hiding behind that pole!
