friday fotos.....on thursday

I thought you might be sick of reading the camping stories by now (those well-written, highly entertaining camping stories....), but I have nothing new to say---so I thought I'd just jump the gun a bit and get on to my new Friday tradition. Here's what we've been up to this week:

*They're both in school now! Ethan started yesterday and says he loves it. He's one of only 3 boys in his whole class though!--guess he'll have his pick of girlfriends ;)! I'm sure I'm just "mom-biased", but I think these are sure some good looking kids!:
*Liam does not so much like the dropping off/picking up at school routine. If looks could kill...:

* I know how to cheer him up though----give him and his brother a box of Styrofoam peanuts! They made an atrocious mess, but they were cute doing it! I do not photograph well, but ever since I let the kids start using the camera (only when they ask first!)---I suddenly find myself with lots of pictures of myself. And some of 'em don't turn out half bad! Good job Liam!



*My buddy Merridy provides our "mobile barber service" on a monthly basis. She has saved a great deal of my sanity with this service! She even cut my hair this time for HALF of what my stylist charges. Huzzah!





*And finally---look who I got to meet this week! Music legend Tony Bennett!:



(okay, okay....this one is actually from back in October when I visited the wax museum in Las Vegas, but I thought I'd attempt to fool ya'al :) !) Just tell me that doesn't look real!

Wait one more day----then have yourself a merry little weekend!!!

OK, I remember that Tony Bennett picture from its original post, and I really did think he serenaded you. You got me on that one.
Poor Liam...He does not look happy at all in that picture

Debbie said...

I am so glad the boys are adjusting well in school. What a huge blessing and relief. And you totally got me on that Tony Bennett one. I was all "WHAT" then read on. Love the barber picks...just wanna eat those cheeks!

Kathi Roach said...

Ha! You totally got me with Tony B.! He DOES look real! It's both neat and creepy....can you imagine having a wax sculpture of yourself in a museum???

Love the pics of school. We don't start school here for another week and a half!

Lauren and Justin said...

i'm such a dweeb... i totally thought the tony bennett thing was real. i was thinking "WHY HASN"T SHE TOLD US BEFORE NOW THAT SHE WAS GOING TO MEET TONY BENNETT!?!?"
glad that the boys are doing well in their transition to school. how are YOU holding up?

Cheryl said...

Your boys are so cute...it's not just that you're biased. And you are so pretty too.
I can't believe there are so few boys in your son's class. It's the opposite here. My daughter is one of only a few girls her age at our church.

Tamie said...

little boy haircuts are the best! luckily brook does a pretty good job with the clippers so we've never had to take the boys and get a haircut. Dad, the barber shows up to do it.

Lee Ann said...

what do you mean you don't photograph well? Pshaw! You're beautiful!

Love the Liam look.

You're boys are VERY handsome. So glad they're both liking school.

Summer Miller said...

I may be friend bias but those are pretty cute boys!! Your comment on my blog made me cry today. Glad to know there is someone out there remembers my moms greatness.

Emily said...

It looks like the boys are loving school. They look like the big kids on campus with their cool packs.

I love home haircuts, I cut all of my boys hair (even Jeff) every 4 weeks. It's kind of fun!

Rhea said...

That wax Tony Bennett looks SO real.

I'm impressed you have a mobile barber. Wow.

That's a great photo of you by Liam! I like it!

I can't believe your son (can't remember which one) only has three boys in his class. Goodness. There must be a girl explosion in your area!

My kid go back to school in a week and a half. I'm happy and sad about it. :o)

Rosemary Q said...

Adorable boys, Beautiful Mom!

Mikki said...

Wow, that picture looks so real. And the Hazzah comment, did you get that from the show at Excalibur, cause they were having us yell that constantly during the knight stuff.

If was fun seeing you guys at school yesterday. I hope that Zane can get moved to our track, that would probably be easier for you.

Do you start school soon??

Sissy said...

I was believing that you met Tony Bennett. Looks so real.

Cute pic of you by the boy!

Caroline said...

That IS a great pictures of you and how cool is that that your "stylist" comes to your house. I got to get me some of that. Tony looks totally real, you had me fooled, that is until I read your post. I've always wanted to go to a wax museum. I think it would be a little creepy because the was figures are such good likenesses.

Anonymous said...

You and Tony always were tight! :) Such great big boys at school!! And definitly handsome, not mom biased at all. It looks like Liam inherited some photography skills too. Good job!

Are You Serious! said...

♥ Great pictures! I actually did think that it was a real picture! :)

Swirl Girl said...

he looks great for his age...and sounds good too!

and you do photograph well, my dear.

cherry said...

Ok at first look I thought maybe that was your dad. Soooo I am slow. Nothing new there...Good ole Tony. Thanks for coming by my digs and hangin. cherry

Kimba said...

It looks like Tony was about to give you a big smooch!

Heather said...

I'm sooo glad the boys are enjoying school! And the picture of you on your couch is adorable! You are SO photogenic.

Okay and I thought you'd really met Tony Bennett and I thought..."wow! They must be good friends!"

Kim Heinecke said...

Now look just how cute you are... :)

And that Tony Bennett thing? I would've bought the charade, hook line and sinker.

Claremont First Ward said...

The pictures turned out great. We have the same haircut, mine is just longer......love the totally textured ends.

Glad the boys like school. I can't wait for my girls to start back up........2 weeks to go.

Brian and Staci said...

I'm so glad to hear your boys are doing well in school! I know that has to ease the pain a little :) Looks like your little guys are having fun too :) I LOVE the pic of Tony Bennett and you! How cute is your hair !!! You gotta love home haircuts! Your little Liam (?) is super cute! (They all are...but I love that pic of him) Enjoy your weekend with those cute boys!

Susie said...

I found you through Blog Around the World and I am glad I did. You have such a cute blog! I may stalk you for a while:-) Don't worry...I always leave nice comments.

Keys to the Magic Travel said...

Are you kidding me? That you don't photograph well?! Whatever. :-)

Madalyn has the opposite issue. She is one of 5 girls in her class - with 12 boys. And one of 19 girls out of 80 in the entire second grade. So, so strange!

Aunt Julie said...

Love the photos--and, well, I did have to look twice, but Tony B. is looking pretty darn waxy to me!

"The Queen in Residence" said...

I had to do a double take with Tony, it could be real with all the fake make-up and plastic surgery. Too funny.

I hope that the school thing goes better as time goes on. Is there a car-pool that you could joing to make you not have to go so often to p/u? It is really a sanity booster.
