some random pics from aug-sept 2013

i'm really behind in the blogging world.  i always am, but this time, i'm REALLY behind.  i guess now that i've entered the "school" world, disappearing time mixed with tiredness has taken over.  our school year has been off to a great start, so i can't complain.  it has been fun to get a few hours with just the boys.  i tell ya what, boys are wild little things, but man do they have their mama's heart!  so here's some randomness of our life:
life with the boys....crazy fun


for Bart's b-day (in August) I made him his favorite cake...Maple Nut Chiffon...it tasted great...but b/c I left it on a bottle too long while we were out running errands.....

this is what the back looked like....it totally fell apart...oh well, tasted good.  better luck next year! :)

who doesn't love celebrating birthdays?

out for dinner to celebrate both of our bdays...even if we both were kind of under the weather

and speaking of weather, this was on my birthday.  no presents needed.  this was perfect!

my FAVORITE cake, ice cream cake!  

i kept having the kids play outside as much as possible in august and the beginning of september b/c i was just sure our outdoor fun was coming to an end....nope, we're in october & still enjoying 70+ degree weather.  crazy!


what max & jude do while zoe is at school

sure miss this girl while she's at school

but i've really enjoyed getting some more time with just the boys

and all their rough house


we went to Zoe's first school event, Western Night.  It was a lot of fun! 

well hello handsome.

and handsome #2

Jude LOVES outside.  he points outside ALL the time & whines to get himself out.  


both still pulling the awkward smiles

from our date

my beauty


jude was teething 4 top teeth at once & 1 bottom teeth.  poor boy.  look at his puffy little mouth!

pre haircut....holy hair!

this pic borderline gives me vertigo.  i hate it when our kids even come close to the stair railing.  makes me so paranoid.  but i had to take a pic b/c it was the first time jude realized what was down there! :)

and then he turned the other way only to find.....

the super heroes...thanks to zoe's creative juices


what we do a lot....listen and dance to various pandora stations


she's gotten soooo tall since she started school

all 3 playing


we bought this slide at a garage sale...and kept it inside for awhile.  why not?




it was a family affair sunday afternoon


sportin zoe's hair bow

since zoe started school, max has really taken a huge liking to drawing...he's getting a lot better & i love all the pictures he draws me....but some of them do have to accidentally be put into the trash.  whoops.

zoe was giving jude "piano lessons" one day

watching zoe run at her school's digger dash


she was so cute, every time she ran by us, she would turn and wave with the biggest smile

max wishing he could join

loved watching her piggy tails fly through the air

jude thinks he big boy now

he's still my baby though

who knew a planting pot would be a source of entertainment for a good solid hour


Max has a mess face 24/7....ugh



my budding artist & his lizard

oh & b/c i've been so behind, here's a summer wrap up for the mccoys:
