Busy Week.....

This week was a pretty busy week for us. The boys and I and Mimi made a trip to Branson to do some school shopping on tax-free Friday. That was an adventure - there were tons of people there, which did not surprise us. But we did end up getting some really good deals which made it all worth while. And it was great to get away and spend some time with just Mom!!

Saturday - we went to Dayson Caplena's 3rd Birthday Party. It was at his Granparent's farm and they had tractor and horse rides - this is right up Lance's alley and he had a blast!

Then on Sunday - Matt did the Shark Triathalon at Beaver Lake. He did a great job and Lance, Grayson and Mommy were there to cheer him on. Lance loved watching all the racers and Grayson - bless his heart - is such a little trooper!!

First time blogging.......

This is our first attempt at blogging - hopefully we will be able to keep it updated as to what is going on with our family.

So far, 2009 has been full of changes for our family. The biggest change came on April 15, 2009 when we were blessed with Grayson Daniel's arrival.

Needless to say, life has become a little more crazy with two boys but we wouldn't change it for the world. Lance has been going through an adjustment period being the big brother but is doing great! Mommy is staying home now and that was another change for us - Lance is no longer going to daycare and seems to enjoy staying home but he misses his buddies too. He is going to start a Mother's Day Out program in September - he is very excited to go to "school" two days a week.

We have been on the go all summer - making frequent trips to Branson to go to White Water and Silver Dollar City. Here are some pics from our fun this summer:
