Perseverance

When a boys waits forever to try and catch an animal...
True picture of patience and perseverance.

Blueberry Season!

Image
Today marks the beginning of our Blueberry Season this year! If you'll take note of the date, it's SUPER early this year.  Thanks to all the warm weather we've had lately, we're eating off our bushes almost a month earlier than normal.  It caught me by surprise.  The boys were wandering outside chomping on something and I realized it was blueberries!  And they were actually blue! (They've been known to, out of pure angst for the season, take off a few blueish/purple berries and just eat past the slight bitterness) I set out to test the berry's sugar content to make sure we could actually start the picking season and the boys could hardly keep their hands off the bushes.  So, I put them to work... William wouldn't even look up for a picture... Just because it's fun to watch them be silly together... And I know these  two little faces won't be little forever. Needless to say, they were ripe.   I could hardly believe they had caught ...

William's a teenager!!!

Never ceases to amaze me how fast time flies by.  I feel like I write that with every single birthday post.  We've officially got a teenager in the house!  William has grown and matured into such a great young man.  He's a quiet, calm, patient and loyal person who knows how to work hard and is proving quite the thinker/creator.   We rented a tiny home in Hope, ID for a fun get away over the weekend and then he later had Sawyer, Kale and Jacob over for an overnighter to celebrate.  Little Ember decided to run off from the truck the moment we let her out at the tiny house.  William was the first to run after her, through muddy streams and all, until we caught her and brought her back.  We then experienced our first time getting to step onto a frozen lake!  There were multiple people ice fishing which was something I'd never seen before! They've become quite good friends The way too large Dutch Bros drink that all birthday boys look forward to S...

Jan. 25th, 2011 Life in the Day of an (almost) 2 year old...

Image
For those of you who have experienced toddlerhood, you know how busy a toddler can be. I decided to pack the camera around today and just snap a few pictures of what Mr. William finds to do in a day. I think if I decided to do this everyday it would make for an interesting blog post. He amazes me with the things he comes up with and just how quickly he's growing into quite the little boy. Here's to a day in William's shoes... ...or his moms (and they always seem to be on the wrong feet) (o: I told William we were going to let the dogs inside but that we had to dry their feet off first. Before I had finished what I was doing, he was already at the door with the towel wrapped around his hands. It'll be really nice when he can actually wipe the dogs feet too! Usually, the under sink cabinet is off limits and William knows it. As any toddler does, William ended up sneaking it open to play with the dishwasher tabs. Mom clued in when it got a little too quiet...I had ...
