Laughter filling the new house...love it!

Thanksgiving...Souter Style...

We had a fun Thanksgiving yesterday, being thankful for all the blessings in our lives! My parents just moved this past weekend into their new house! It was so fun to be there with all our friends and family and have it finished and to see their "dreams" come to be! It's such a cozy, warm, gathering house, that was filled with laughter last night. I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves...

Love Mindy's hair piece...that's a project on my list!

Lots of friends, lots of laughing!

True love..

Ok, these pictures are in the wrong order, I'll number them.

#3 and this...

#2 and it turned into this...

#1 It started with this...Andrew telling a story...

Love this table! We can all get around the table...I think it even goes one bigger then this?

Our family...we waited a little too late, I wish you could see the view from their outdoor living area, they are right up on the forest, it was so nice sitting out there by the fire listening for the owl.

My mom and sister, Nicole who got the turkey for us from work again!

My mom and me.

Great Wolf Lodge

We went up to Great Wolf Lodge this last weekend, it was so fun. I brought my camera but didn't take a single picture because I didn't want to leave it around the waterpark all day. If I would have, you would have seen lots of excitement, wonder, and joy on the faces of my little guys! They loved every second of it, which made it worth every penny! We spent over 10 hours in the water between the two days, but they would have spent more if we weren't ready to go;) It was a memory I'll carry with me for a while, it's getting easier and easier to do things with our boys the older they get. It makes me look forward to the future!

Crazy Week!!!

What a crazy week it's been! I worked full time this week, with atleast 4 hours of volleyball in the evenings...that's way too long to be away from my babies! Good news is that I have ten days off of work, and that's going to feel good! Tomorrow is all about loving on my boys. We are going to the barn in the morning, and then leaving for Great Wolf Lodge for the night. Our only goal tomorrow is to fill their love tanks! Enjoy your weekend with your loved ones!

MIA

So I know I have been a little MIA lately...life has been SO busy! I feel like after Sunday things will calm down (sort of), which will be nice. I haven't been home but for ten minutes the last two days before nine pm. That's 14 hour days people! I miss my kids! But for now...just thought I'd send you over here to go and vote for my scrapbook layout (even though I really think my competition's is better;), but I don't want to have to make her a dessert...which is on the line for the loser;)

I don't have any new pictures from this week, but I was going through our pictures from the last year to print to take on my scrapbooking weekend, and I don't think I ever posted this picture! Two brothers, enjoying life!

Bikes in the Fall...

Our boys really enjoy riding bikes and being outside. And I enjoy it too, especially during the fall. It's definitly starting to get cooler now, but there is something about the beauty of this season that I love. I really do love every season, and I'm always ready for the next one, but fall just might be one of my favorites! Especially when we don't have rain!

We've found lots of caterpillers during our different rides...and lots of other little creatures on our adventures...

Is there anything more exciting to a boy then throwing rocks in a drain?

Noah is awesome at riding his bike, he'll ride forever!
