Love Windows Live Writer

I did some research on the internet and found some great FREE software to make blogging quicker and so much easier! I mainly want a blog to record the boys growing up and have something that will last forever that they can look back at and show their kids when they get older. Love that I can share it with family! I started this blog a while back but quickly realized it was going to be A LOT of work. I just didn’t have the time. So I came up on a program called Windows Live Writer that makes it all so much faster! I want to go back and post pictures from the beginning if I can. Those post may not be as detailed as the new ones but at least I will have some pictures to share. This will still take me a lot of time and be a lot of work but I am excited that it is a least doable now!

 

If anyone is interested in the program, you can find it here:

Windows Live Writer

You just go to blogger or wordpress and create a blog and link it to the program.  So easy!

Carbon Hill High School

Mine and Shane’s stomping ground from long ago! Wanted to hold onto this picture because our school burned in a fire shortly after we graduated.

Halloween 2014

For the first time ever the boys decided they wanted to be something other than superheroes!!

This year they wanted to be scary and asked to be zombies.  I let them pick their costumes off the internet. They were so excited to scare all our family.                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                    

 

 

I put makeup on Ethan and when I got finished he couldn’t wait  to run and look in the mirror.  But at the first glimpse he got of his self in the mirror he screamed at the top of his lungs and took off running as fast as he could! He was scared to even look at his self.  I couldn’t really blame him.  Just look at this face! He did look pretty scary!

 

 

And they had lots of fun eating Aunt Miranda’s brains!!!

 

 

 

I couldn’t end this post without posting this cute smiling face! Just love her so much!

 

 

I think this was the best Halloween yet!

Praying Mantis

Austin came upon a praying mantis today. I would have had no idea that was what it  was, but he did.  How did he know that? Funny how things that you didn’t know your kids knew will sneak up on you! He was so proud of his discovery.  He spent two hours outside just watching it crawl around and moving it around with a stick.

                                                             

We did a quick search on the internet.  He loved that it is called a praying mantis because of how he stands when he is preying on another insect. He stands on his back legs, arms raised and mouth dropped wide open to intimidate the other insect.  We couldn’t get a good picture of it but it looks something like this:



He thought this quite funny and fell over laughing every single time our mantis decided to do this.  After waiting on daddy and brother to get home so he could show them and after quite some time trying to get him to eat a grasshopper, he took him to his favorite tree to let him go.  Every time we’ve been outside since he will run over to the tree in hopes of seeing his little friend again

Spooky Bookmark

Austin has been doing such a good job reading lately.  Me and Ethan decided to make him a spooky halloween bookmark for his Magic Treehouse books that he reads at night.

Captain Underpants

Not sure about a book called “Captain Underpants”. But at least he is excited about reading!

Old Man

It’s old people day at school today! Hard to tell in the picture but his hair is grey! I thought he made a very handsome old man!
