Pictures of our trip to the Virgin Islands

We left last Saturday, the 8th, and then got back the 15th. So it was a really long trip, but SOOO nice!! We were able to sleep late everyday, lay out on the beach, shop (I got a beautiful aquamarine ring- which is my birthstone, and Matt got a Rolex watch. He's been wanting one forever, so we couldn't pass up the deal we got, especially since it was duty free! LOL), and we ate WAY too much!!

We were definitely ready to be back home though. We both missed the boys and they missed us (although my grandmother said they were really good!!)

Anyway, here's the link to all of the pictures. Enjoy! :-)

Daylon's championship Pop Warner game

Sorry, I'm not sure what happened to the original post! It just didn't get published right. Sorry about that! :-)

Well, last Saturday Daylon had his final Pop Warner game for the season. It was held at Consol High School because it was the division championship game. And they WON!!! Daylon did awesome- got a few sacks and was just super tough. Here are a few pictures of that...

Out on the field (he thought it was HUGE!!) :-)


Daylon's fans (he had a LOT!!!)

Kelton's flag football pictures

Here are a few pictures of Kelton's flag football stuff. We have our last game tonight and I'm SOOO glad! (And just a few more games of Daylon's and then we're DONE!!) Also a few pictures of Kelton's end-of-season party at Double Daves (getting his trophy!!) :-)





Kelton and my nephew, Caden:


Jace was VERY intent on the game he was playing!!


Daylon and his weird face!!


Blayden:

Halloween

Here are some pictures of the boys on Halloween. I didn't get many because my battery died on my camera (Marie, you and I are just good like that!)

Daylon- he was a Pirate skeleton person. Was pretty cool looking (Blayden finally got used to the mask and would look at Daylon and say "Bubba?" when he was wearing it!)


Jace- he was the alien from Toy Story:


Kelton- he was a ghost. (He was supposed to be Buzz Lightyear but Disney sent the wrong size and I never got him another one. This was Daylon's from a few years ago!) ;-)


Blayden- he was Peter Pan. He looked way more cute than this picture showed!! (He's got a sucker in his mouth. He found the candy REALLY fast!) LOL



Kelton and Blayden also had a party at their school. Here are a few pictures from that (Kelton wore his Stitch costume from last year for that.)


Kelton and some of his friends in their class:



Little "BB" having his snack:

Yes, I'm still here!!

Man, I keep thinking life is going to slow down and it just never does! We're all doing really well though, and the boys had a blast on Halloween (and yes, I do have pictures I just need to upload them and then post them- I promise I'll try to do that really soon!)

School has been crazy for me of course. I'm trying to get everything done before Matt and I go out of town next weekend (we're leaving on the 8th and then we'll get back in town that next Saturday, the 15th.) I'm SOOOOOOO super excited about going and I can't wait. But really, I just have so much homework to get done beforehand so I haven't been able to really look forward to it as much as I normally would. I think it's going to be so relaxing for us to go though. My grandmother is going to come and stay at my house with the boys, and then my mom and nanny will help her whenever she needs it. I'm going to miss the boys like crazy (especially Blayden, just because he's still young enough that we really just enjoy him- he doesn't argue, fight with his brothers, etc!) LOL I'm going to miss them all though, and I know Matt will too. But it's going to be worth going and getting a break from life.

I think that's about it for us right now. I'll try to post pictures of the boys tomorrow, and try to keep updated on everything more. :-)
