football and fall...

Our life lately has been football and fall, well actually fall just recently decided to show up, but we are enjoying this time of the year. Oh, do y'all know if we are suppose to trick or treat on Saturday or Sunday this year?? That was a discussion earlier today and I never got the final word.

Below (for some reason the pictures uploaded in wrong order) are pictures from my mini fall photo session with the boys and a picture of my sweetie playing flag football. The picture is bright and it shows he's super hot, he is because like I said, fall just showed up this Sunday, so it has been miserable during the games.. ha, but we survived!

My sweet Luke, right now he is so silly and photogenic, I'm enjoying these last few years of innocence and wanting to do everything right (Will is slowly starting to get out of this stage, Lord help me!!!)


This is Will during one of his super hot games, with his mouth piece and bird legs... but when he's running full speed, those bird legs look like fan blades, he's fast!


I love this picture, if I only knew how to make the colors in the back ground brighter.... I'm not very savvy on enhancing pictures.



Finally I let Luke be himself, he is our silly little thing. Will won't show his teeth anymore when he smiles. That is such a pet peeve of mine, but I don't blame him, one of his top teeth has been barely hanging on for about 4 weeks, now it is sticking straight forward and it's just the funniest thing, he is so ready for it to fall out, but too afraid to pull it out (I don't blame him) so for now he says he will just try to hide it... either way with it sticking out or not, he still so darn adorable!!



Fall decor pictures to follow, whenever I find time to upload pictures again... hopefully it will be this week :)

Hope y'all are having a wonderful week!!

my opinion about dates

** First I want to say THANK YOU all for your sweet comments, I am happy and blessed to have that story to share and I'm more happy to know that I am in some strange way helping other people. Thank you all, I think you all encouraged me more than I encouraged you, seriously!**
So, the hubs and I, we really don't do "dates". We should, but we just don't have the time, money, strength or knowledge to do that anymore... It takes time to plan it and time away from the kids, money because heck NOTHING is free anymore and by the time you spend money on dinner, movie, sitter it's just NOT worth it to me, it takes strength after working all week and dealing with the kids to go out and do something together and also knowledge... it takes knowledge to know what the heck your going to do. We are the kind of people that do not party, we are pretty chill, we don't like going to the bar it just isn't our thing, we like honestly like to just hang out. When we were dating, we would just go eat (because it always involved food), watch movies, go parking :), hang out with friends, whatever you do when your dating... Now days we just take our kids with us wherever we go and we are fine with that becasue before we know it, we won't have little ones around.... BUT... Sunday after church, it just fell into our lap, so we had a lunch date! Y'ALL, IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!! I actually felt like we were dating again, we talked about US, about our future, about vacations we are planning coming up, about work, about our families (minus our kids, because we talk about them a lot anyways)... I mean it was un-interrupted time that we had not had in SO long. Then we did a little shopping, I honestly thought when walking out of the mall that we would be walking up to the hubs old mustang he use to zoom around town in, trying to impress me.... reality hit when we walked up to the family suv, but that's ok, because I am a fan of dates now... Oh I can't wait for our next one!!!
So now y'all know where I stand on dates, I completely understand why they are so important, we had fun together, we laughed, we remembered why we do love each other so much and for just a split second, I think we both thought we were still dating, but with so much more now!!!!
(sorry, I was so blinded by love I completely forgot to take a picture..ugh!)
