Especially these three! They have been together since pre school. Connor is sad because our district is building a new school and these two will be going there next year. At least they still get to do sports together and one of them goes to our church so they will still be in class together there as well. Growing up has its challenges at times!</div>

I guess that about wraps it up. It's summer so I finally had sometime to do this. We had to get a new computer last week and it was much easier to upload my pictures than with my older computer. Who knows, maybe I'll find more time to update. Until then I am just enjoying my boys because before I know it they will be all grown up! Why can't they just stay small???</div>

Before we move on to 2015 I guess I need to wrap up 2014. In December Connor finished up another baseball season with this nice medal. Daryle also gave each child a personalized award. Connor's was the "Every games a double header" Award. The reasoning... at each game there is the actual game being played and then another one being played inside Connor's head! (If you ever go to a game... it is obvious during down time that Connor is acting out another game in his head! Of course in those games he is a Dback player!!) </div>

One night we went looking at lights. Not far from us is an amazing neighborhood. This guy spends over 3 months getting his house ready. I am sure it is on you tube somewhere. It really was a most spectacular sight. It was even more fun when Santa and his "friends" came out for a photo opportunity!</div>

Travis doesn't really have a favorite football team... but decided to jump on his brother's bandwagon. Their dad is a die hard Raiders fan. This is painful for him. But he is being a good sport about it!</div>

It had been 3 years since we did official family portraits. Although we took them just a few days before Christmas ... which resulted in New Years cards being sent as opposed to Christmas cards... I think they turned out pretty nice. Here are a couple of my favorite ones.</div>

It seems a few people (all 3 of them) have been giving me grief about my lack of updating this blog. I guess with Facebook I seem to spend my time posting our life events there! I guess a lot has gone on since June...although nothing too eventful. My boys are growing up at lightning speed and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it. So I just try to enjoy them one day at a time. Here is a little bit of what we have been up to over the last several months.<br />
<br />
This summer we celebrated some big milestones. In June it was 5 years since Connor came home, in July Daryle and I celebrated 20 years of marriage, and in August it was 10 years since Travis came home. Wow. It was a big year for sure! <br />

I also got together with two other friends from elementary school. The one I hadn't seen since I left Spokane,,,and that was in 1987! It was so fun getting all of the kids together. Wish we lived closer so we could have reunions more often!</div>

Connor loved this lama. Why do my kids love petting zoo's so much??? When I was a kid I stayed far away. I still do. I just zoom in on pictures of my kids enjoying every minute! I am glad they love animals. They will both more than likely always have some type of pet. I won't be shocked if Travis lives on a farm. lol</div>

Connor ran 51 laps in the fun run. Daryle took the day off to help mark the back of the kids shirts as they completed each lap. They said 36 laps was equal to2.3 miles. He ran 51. Maybe he will be a marathon runner one day. He wasn't even out of breath and never complained once that his legs hurt. Tough kid! Grandpa even came out to cheer him on!</div>

Now you are caught up to our crazy life. Hopefully it won't be six months until you hear from me again. BUT... if it is then it just means I am buried in soccer balls, baseballs, bats, gloves, cleats, water bottles, trumpets, grading, carpools, meetings, etc. etc. etc. It's a busy life and we are enjoying every minute of it! Until next time... </div>

Sleeping in. No homework. No responsibilities. Just hanging out was enough. Well, I guess summers have changed since then. That makes me feel old. I feel like I should be talking in my squeaky old lady voice saying, "Back in my day...."<br />

I don't know if it because I am the mother of two boys or if it is just the way things are today but our summer is almost over and we have been quite busy. Part of it is my own fault. After 11 summers of being home with my kids I decided to teach summer school. Oh, and I made Travis go too. Actually this proved to be an excellent move for him. He got to meet several Fifth grade teachers who are at his new school along with meeting some new kids who will be going there as well. We are both feeling less anxious about the change in schools and are actually looking forward to some new things. I believe he is ready for middle school. (Let me grab a tissue...aahhh!! sob, sob sob!!! Ok, I am over it now... I think!)<br />

Along with going to a new school Travis is now playing on a competitive soccer team. This is a huge commitment and involves practicing. A lot. Like two to three times a week. One to two hours a time. Even during the summer. In the heat. Sometimes on Saturday. At 7 am. I just keep telling myself he has lots of energy and this is a great way to channel it. He is also very competitive. Very. This is what he does.... he puts his heart and soul into every practice. Coach says get some water. He RUNS to get his water. Takes two quick swigs. Then RUNS back to the coach. Meanwhile, the rest of the boys JUST GOT TO THEIR WATER! Coach pats Travis on the back and tells him to go get some more water. This kid never stops. He has to be first. Everywhere. Even when running laps. And the boys in the lead are 3 heads taller than him. Travis actually keeps up. Sometimes he even beats them. I just sit in awe. He is pretty amazing. He is so strong, fast, motivated and dedicated to what he is doing. The best compliment came from his recent baseball coach. He said Travis has one of the best work ethics he has ever seen. And this coach played baseball all the way into the major leagues. He has a World Series ring from when he played on the Braves. That is quite a complement coming from a man like that! We joke around and say that Travis would walk through a burning wall for this coach. It's the truth. This coach is amazing in so many ways. Not just with coaching, but in the example he sets for these young boys.<br />

While Travis and I were having a grand time at Summer School, Connor had his own fun going on. For one week he did a soccer camp. Not just any soccer camp, but the British Challenger Soccer camp! lol He had a great time!<br />

As a family we had a lot of things going on this last month as well. Since Connor's birthday fell on Father's Day, and my cousin was getting married the day before his birthday we had to do his party a week earlier. He decided he wanted to go bowling with his friends. They had an incredible time! </div>

Then we went to a wedding. It was beautiful and we had a very fun time! I love seeing my cousins, especially the ones who live out of town. It's always exciting to see my extended family. You know, the ones you usually see only at funerals and weddings. It was nice to see them all at a joyous occasion.</div>

I guess those have been the main things this summer. Of course we are busy with just the normal everyday things too. The next few weeks are going to be busy with lots of fun! Stay tuned for a bedroom make over, a trip to Las Vegas (somebody is having a 20th wedding anniversary!) and a trip to Seattle to see my brother. It's a lot to fit in before school. I think we can handle it! </div>

As expected we began our spring with the arrival of baseball season. Pretty much anybody who knows us knows where to find us this time of year. That would be on the baseball fields!</div>

With the beginning of baseball season always comes Travis' birthday. I can't believe he is now 11! Time just flies by at warp speed sometimes. He wanted to bring in doughnuts for his class for a birthday treat. We also picked up our breakfast and ate in my classroom before school. Great way to start the birthday weekend! (Actual birthday was Saturday, had to start out on Friday!) </div>

Connor loves baseball as much as Travis and Daryle. Daryle decided to stop coaching Travis and begin coaching Connor. Good move for all. Travis had an amazing coach and Daryle enjoyed coaching the little guys again. As you can see, Connor enjoyed his time playing catcher! This age is so much fun to watch.. they all think they are playing in the major leagues. We got quite a few chuckles watching this little team. Connor actually had quite a few friends on this team and I think they are going to try and play together in the fall too. It will be fun to keep most of them together and watch them grow and develop over time.</div>

In April Connor went in for his 13th laser treatment on the birthmark around his eye. I do think we are about done. For now anyway. As he gets older he may opt to have more in the future. He is such a pro at this now! He loves going... as if we are going to Disneyland or something! The doctors want me to send in some before and after pictures of him to use in a video they are making. So exciting! I am all about helping educate people on issues. We dragged our feet for a while on this, I would be so happy to help others in the same boat. It's not an easy decision to make for sure.</div>

In April we had a family wedding in California. I wasn't going to go but then a few weeks before the wedding my great aunt called my mom and said she really wanted me to join them at the wedding and offered to pay for my ticket. How could I refuse that?? I was so honored that she would want to do that. So, off I went with my mom and dad on a little weekend getaway to San Jose! My mom and I were being silly and goofing off trying to take some "selfies"! </div>

One week in May is always Teacher Appreciation week. This year I received a letter in the mail from a former student. So amazing to hear from him and for him to tell me how much he loved being in my class. This is why I teach, to touch lives and make a difference to somebody. It is amazing to hear from former students and have them tell me this. Not everybody remembers their elementary teachers. I was touched.</div>

Of course we celebrated Mother's Day. The things my kids make me at school are gifts I love the most. I still pray for all of those who are not mothers yet and are going through infertility. I will never forget the years that was me. Also, I always think of the women who carried my boys for me first. Such a gift they each gave me! Mother's Day is very precious to me on so many levels. </div>

A few weeks back we got a letter in the mail from the Town Council. Apparently Connor's principal sent his name in to the town to be recognized for Student of the Month. We were so surprised! We went and he even got his picture taken with the Mayor. It was such a nice presentation. While we were waiting for his name to be called I guess Travis attempted to take a few selfies of himself... lol</div>

Last day of school!! I can't believe I now have a first grader and a fifth grader on my hands. So bittersweet for me. Connor graduating Kindergarten really hit me. When Travis graduated from Kindergarten we were in Russia adopting Connor. We still had a little one around. We still had diapers, potty training, walking, talking, baby toys, etc to go through all over again. Now that Connor is done with Kindergarten I am realizing there will be no more babies in our house. Well, until I become a grandma of course! But that is super far away! I am also having trouble adjusting to the fact that Travis won't be at my school anymore. Our school is K-4 and they go to the Middle School for 5-6 then the Jr High for 7-8 then high school. I am having a hard time with this. I know that the last two years I hardly saw him. BUT I knew he was there and I knew were to find him. I am excited for him to grow and spread his wings. He is ready for this. Even though mom may not be!</div>

It seems like my boys are always the ones getting awards. Well, guess what, it's time for me to get one! For every 5 years of service we get a certificate and are recognized at our end of the year luncheon. It was pretty funny because when our Superintendent gave me my ten year certificate he said, "I guess we hire at age 18!" Of course I took that as a compliment! Even though I have been here for 10 years I actually just finished my 17th year teaching. Wow. I am not that old.... well I guess I am. lol<br />

The next day we took the boys to the Diamondback's game. I am not sure that I went to any last season. We ALL went on Memorial day. I figured it was time I made an appearance. The boys are getting so grown up. It is so nice going to things like this and not worrying about diapers, nap time, or a toddler trying to run away from you. They enjoy the game, the food, and the fun games they have for the kids. We had a super good time together.</div>

It's so nice to have those moments where your children really do love each other. Connor thinks Travis hung the moon. Although Connor's quirky noises can drive Travis though the roof I do know he is protective of him. He waited in this line and hit whiffle balls with his brother even though he didn't have to. Watching them grow up and become friends is so nice to see. I hope they always remain close. <br />

So this summer we are going to be busy. No rest for the weary. For the first time in over 10 years I am teaching summer school. I could use some extra money and Travis could use some extra help with reading. It's a win win situation as far as I am concerned. The other project we are working on involves this....</div>

It's time to repaint Connor's bedroom. It is a little babyish and could use a little lift. I am not sure what color we will go with. The top picture are Connor's choices, the bottom ones are mine. We have something in mind for his birthday that's coming up. Stay tuned for before and after pictures. Hopefully it will be done by the end of the month for sure!</div>

Yes, it's that time of the year again! The leprechauns stopped by last night and left cookies, Lucky Charms cereal, shirts, ties and mustaches. Even though the littlest leprechaun wasn't too happy at first, he eventually lightened up and had some fun. Maybe it was mom wearing a mustache that did it! </div>

One morning in the middle of February Connor woke up with a swollen eye. I knew it wasn't pink eye but was suspicious so I took him into the doctor to check it out. She said it was a stye but with the streaking beginning to go down his cheek he was going to need an antibiotic. I was told if within the next 48 hours it gets worse or he gets a fever to call back or take him to the ER. Ok. Off we went to fill our prescription. <br />

I let him go through the day at school, asked the school nurse her thoughts all day long, and by 2:00 she suggested I call our doctor because it was getting worse as the day went on. So we ended up in the ER. Doesn't he look pathetic here? I said let me take your picture. This is how he posed. It looks like his passport picture on his Russian VISA! He looks terrified, but really he was just fine!<br />

This is more how he was acting! He did have to get a shot in his behind and was on a crazy amount of antibiotics for 10 days. The diagnosis was a clogged tear duct resulting in periorbital cellulitis. Fun times! Glad we caught it early and this didn't turn into a stay at the hospital!</div>

After the game Connor and I literally packed up and went back to the doctor. The ER doctor told me to go see the pediatrician the next morning to make sure he was getting better. I knew he was, but I also know how serious cellulitis can be and didn't want to take any chances. He is pretty comfy in a doctor's office! </div>

Last Sunday Daryle and I decided to take the boys to the Renaissance Festival. Another super good time! As you can see, Connor dressed up. Travis did not. Connor just loves getting into character. He kept his costume on the entire time too. I was not sure he would do that.</div>

Travis has also been helping out at Connor's baseball practice. He LOVES that. He is in his element for sure. It's pretty cute to hear some of the little ones say, "Travis, can you show me how to do that??" It is so nice to see him shine and gain self confidence. </div>

A few weeks ago the soccer games were rained out. Since we were playing a team where we are friends with the other coach, we rescheduled an unofficial game on our own. We needed a referee so we asked Travis to help out. He is growing up too fast sometimes. I am so proud of him. He really is a great helper in so many ways.</div>

I know, I know. It is already the middle of February and it seems like we fell off the face of the earth. Truthfully we have just been busy. Blogging has taken a back seat. In the way way back seat. That is what we always called the last row in our mini van growing up. You could say that Daryle and I started 2014 by becoming technologically up-to-date instead of out-of-date. We both got our first smart phones and we started out with the Galaxy S4. It has an amazing camera. Now that I have figured out how easy it is to upload these pictures to my blog maybe you will see more of me here. </div>

Poor Travis has been sick a lot this winter. His doctors still remain at a loss as to why he keeps getting sick. In about a 10 week period he had pneumonia (twice) and or other upper respiratory/asthma related issues. After much head scratching, his doctor decided to do a bronchoscopy. He had to do this under anesthesia. We are waiting on the results, we go back March 3. They do know he has an extremely narrow sinus cavity. Perhaps he is not able to breath through his nose? We don't know. But he sure was in good spirits, besides being very nervous. He got to pick out this owl, he named it "Foo Foo". lol</div>

Somebody had a birthday around here... ok, it was me... we celebrated by going out to dinner. Travis was so upset. The waitress said I was 22 and I went along with it. He just did NOT understand why I was "lying". lol He felt it was his duty to correct anybody who said I was 22!</div>

Connor had to go in for his usual eye exam. They check him for glaucoma once or twice a year. In the past we were never able to do this test in the office. Lucky us, we got to do in under anesthesia. A few times we coupled it up with his laser treatment too. Every time we would go into the office to try I would bribe him. It never worked. Well, we finally turned a corner! He did the eye drops and test in the office and handled it like the champ he is. Reward? Banana split of course! (He had been dying to try one. He ate a little more than half. I was surprised he ate so much of it!) He sure is growing up.</div>

If you want to know where Travis is these days, he is making bracelets on his loom. He has bought 2 books, thousands of little rubber bands and has made countless bracelets. He is addicted! He has never been into crafts so this has been a little shocking. However, I am finding out that all the boys his age are into this craze. Funny to see him beg to go to JoAnn's Fabrics! </div>

So we went to our specialist and did this breathing treatment along with this vest that "shook" him up. That didn't work. This is why we did the bronchoscopy in February. At least now he is feeling better. However, we still need to figure out why he was so sick in the first place. Poor kid.</div>

Travis and I had fun playing with my camera and finding all the cool special effects it can do. Waiting rooms are a lot more entertaining this way! He was quite proud of his cone head look.</div>

We did more things the past month or two, such as both boys are playing soccer. We also celebrated the 100th day of school. But for some reason I can't get those pictures to upload. You can use your imagination. However, if you see me on Facebook and Instagram then you already saw them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chances are, if you are reading this blog still then you know me on social media too. </div>

December began with a lot of excitement around here. Travis' baseball team the Hooligans won first place in the league tournament!! Just look at the size of that trophy! Not sure who was more excited about that win... Travis or Daryle! </div>

The next night the 4th grade had their yearly musical performance. The 4th grade always gets to do the Christmas show. Travis got to be an elf. He makes a pretty cute elf if I do say so myself!</div>

For several months Connor has been mastering his sight words. He surpassed the entire Kindergarten list weeks ago and is now working on the First grade list of words. He brings this list every where he goes... even practicing while we were waiting for the show to begin. Silly kid!</div>

This will probably end up being one of Travis' most favorite teachers of all time. He had her last year and she moved up to 4th grade this year too. She has been an awesome teacher for him! How great is it to have such a great teacher for not one year, but two?? Lucky kid!</div>

So proud of Connor! When they called his name he did a little fist pump as he stood up and went on the stage. The whole crowd saw him and did a little chuckle. So cute.</div>

Finally, time to see Santa! After 3 attempts at more popular places over the month (no success due to very long wait times) we finally saw a sign that Santa would be coming to a little museum right next to our neighborhood. We got to check out some local history, hear a choir sing Christmas carols, make some crafts, eat goodies, meet Mrs. Claus as well as have some one on one time with Santa himself. Here are the boys listening to the choir while they waited for Santa.</div>

After the visit with Santa they got to hear Mrs. Claus read a story. I loved this room. The building used to be the only school in our area. It was K-12 at one time. This room was set up like an old classroom. The date on the board was September 2, 1982...hey wait a minute, I was in 5th grade then!! Is that date really museum worthy?? Guess it is...</div>

I just can't believe it took us 9 years of living here to finally have time to check out this piece of local history. There is a lot of interesting "stuff" in there. We for sure will need to go back. I hope it doesn't take us another 9 years. Ha!</div>

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I want to mention some of the people in my life that I couldn't live without.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all... my precious family. I can't imagine my life without any of these people. It still amazes me daily how each one of them came into my life. I love them so very much.</div>

Daryle is a great husband to me and father to our boys. There isn't anything he wouldn't do for them (or me either!) Not every father takes every opportunity he can to coach whatever the latest sport is. He is also very helpful when it comes to making a school project. He is much more creative than I am! The adoration goes both ways. Can't you just feel the love here as they celebrate Dad's birthday??</div>

I am thankful for freedom of choice. I am thankful that I am able to give this little guy the freedom to choose his own style. Every day his outfits give me a smile.

I am thankful for sports. Although it can be very time consuming, I am so thankful that my boys are able to engage in team sports. There are so many benefits to playing on a team. I am thankful Travis has an outlet for his energy and has opportunities to shine on and off the field.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now on to some special people who help make our lives that much better. I am thankful for my Mom, aka Grammy. She does so much for us, it is effortless for her. Not only do I adore her, but my boys adore her too. She will play endless hours of Candy Land, Monopoly, and Chutes and Ladders with them. Not to mention how many times a week she (and grandpa too) makes the 30 minute drive from her house to ours just to see her grandson's play baseball/football/soccer games or even attend a school function!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And then we have my Dad aka Grammy-Grandpa. I love the example he shows not just by his words but by his actions. He is extremely faithful, giving, loving, and loyal. He has spent countless hours swimming with my boys in the pool... even though he might rather be inside watching the baseball game... just because they love swimming so much and he loves spending time with them. They can always count on him to jump in for a swim... in the summer of course!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You know the expression, "It takes a village to raise a child??" Well, that is SOOOO true! I don't know how I would manage without my father-in-law Bill aka Red Truck Grandpa aka RT. Honestly. Having him live down the street from us has made my life that much easier. Not to mention the bonds he has formed with his grandsons. He takes kids to school, picks them up, helps get them to various practices. He even makes sure they do their homework. He is one reason why Travis usually gets 100% on his weekly spelling tests!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We can't forget Grandma Hawes aka California Grandma. The boys LOVE going to visit her (and her cats) every summer. Whenever there is a holiday they know there will be something arriving in the mail from her. She is so thoughtful, kind and generous to all of us. Connor loves her house because he has his own bed... and grandma has STAIRS! Travis loves going to California because he loves being around the cats (as well as grandma.)

I am thankful for many, many more things. However, one thing in particular comes to mind today. I am thankful for the oceans of the world. For me, the ocean is a beautiful, relaxing, mysterious and majestic place. Whenever I am there I just can't help but think how big our world is. I always wonder what lands this water has seen before it stood at our feet. It makes me think of Russia. Clear on the other side of this endless vast of water lies the country that gave me my children. My life. For that I am eternally thankful.</div>

Yep. This one pretty much sums it up. Our lives wouldn't be the same without the blessing of adoption. </div>

I hope my boys are growing up feeling this way. Because, well, it's the truth.</div>

Oh My!Now that we are mid-way into November I guess I had better write about Halloween 2013. Before we are overcome with turkeys and Christmas anyway! Here are the boys with the pumpkins they each so lovingly picked out... not from an actual pumpkin patch...but from the great big bins outside the local grocery store. (Oh how I miss living in Memphis when we took the first graders out to an actual pumpkin patch to get pumpkins. Oh well.... times do change!) That didn't matter to them, they loved their pumpkins anyway.<br />

Thank goodness for grandmas. Since one grandma lives in CA she offered to order the kids some cool costumes for Halloween. Travis chose a SWAT costume while Connor chose to be Rafael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He is obsessed with those turtles. They both look so cute! Here they are ready to head out.</div>

As for me, I just sit outside and hand out candy. My traditional "costume" is my orange shirt and black pants. I know, not very creative. Dressing up isn't really my thing. I do enjoy seeing all of the costumes though. We had a lot of kids but not as many has we have had in the past. This year my mom and a friend joined me. The weather was great and the company was even better. </div>

Years ago when we lived in Memphis we used to go to the Redbird's games. They are the farm team for the Cardinals. We happened to be at the opening game in their new stadium. This had to have been around 1999/2000/2001 or so. We saw this hanging in the team shop one day and sure enough you can see Daryle very clearly. So, I bought it for him but we never did get it framed because it is so large. (It's like 4 feet long) Fast forward to 2013. Daryle has a friend at work who does wood working and Daryle happened to mention this print we had. Well, his friend custom made a beautiful frame for it and now we are able to hang it up. If you ever come over we can show you right where Daryle and I are standing. (You can only see the back of my head!)</div>

There has been a lot of excitement lately. Daryle has a good friend, Mark, whom he has known since Jr. High. Mark was the best man at our wedding. So, I have known Mark ever since I have known Daryle. That would mean since I was 18. Well, Mark's son Cody and his fiance just had a baby boy earlier this month. Does this mean Daryle and I are old enough to be GRANDPARENTS??? Well apparently we are since our friends who are our age just did! Anyway, baby Marshall is just adorable as can be. Cody lives around here but Mark and his family live in Oregon. They drove down to meet their new grandchild. I have a feeling we will be seeing more of them over the years. </div>

Connor got a little jealous that his daddy was holding a baby. Then he asked if he could have a baby brother. I told him Marshall can come and visit any time. (Connor mostly likes having somebody around who is younger than him!!)</div>

So yesterday Travis (#82) and three other boys got to be the team captains for the football game. They lock arms and walk to the middle of the field together. This was the second time he got to do this. Pretty cool. </div>

Holy Cow, I can't believe how busy we were during the month of September. Our schedule has kept us all on our toes. All we did was go to football practice (2 hours a day 4 times a week..we get home by 9-ish), baseball practice (1 1/2 hrs. 2 days a week), football games, baseball games, work, eat and sleep. Pretty much it was in that order too! Sleep? I am not sure I remember what that is. Thank goodness we are finally on our two week fall break. The boys and I are still trying to catch up a bit. I realized I never posted any pictures from Connor's first football game. The first game was scheduled for 7 am. He had to be there by 5:30. The football field was an hour away from our house. This meant we had to leave the house at 4:30. (Can you say good-bye to sleeping in on Saturday mornings??!!) Here was Connor, dressed and ready to go.</div>

Later that same day Travis played a baseball game. (He also had a 7 am football game that day so Daryle and I had to split that one up.) Here is Connor with his friend Kate. Travis and her brother Ryder have been playing baseball together for the past 3 years. These two have so much fun hanging out and playing together while their brothers play baseball.

Travis plays for the Hooligans. They are hoping to make it a club team after this season in their current league. This team has come a long way and are actually doing pretty good. (As you see here, this was a strike!)</div>

Most of our month was spent at football and baseball fields. Hopefully we only have one more month of this craziness. Connor's team should be done at the end of the month. Travis' team is a different story. He is on an awesome team. So far they have only lost one game and are expected to be the number 1 seed for playoffs. I have a feeling their season is going to be a long one! This baseball league that Travis is on should also end early to mid-November. I think. Then I hope I get to rest. I figure that will be around Thanksgiving weekend. I had better get it all in then. Because the week after that soccer starts. They are both going to play this time. Thank heavens those practices are only once a week. If we are lucky maybe their practices will be on the same day (fingers crossed....).</div>

August arrived and left with the blink of an eye! Between starting a new school year and BOTH boys playing tackle, yes tackle, football I don't know if I am going or coming around here. For three weeks solid Travis had football practice for 2 1/2 hours 5 days a week. Since Connor is younger his practices were 1 hr. 45 minutes for 3 days a week. Can you say EXHAUSTED??? Now we are on a "normal" schedule. This means they have practice twice a week. Oh yay you might think. Well think again. Travis has practice Tuesday and Thursday while Connor has it Monday and Wednesday. That means we have practice </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
every. single. night. Daryle and I have an understanding that we will each take two nights at practice and two nights with the other child at home. Plus this is August in Phoenix. Even though we have been pretty lucky with the evening temps it is still warm out there. However, the boys are enjoying it. They are learning a lot, meeting new friends, and boy are they in shape! Connor is #45. Here is is at one of his practices.</div>

This morning was Travis' first football game. Connor starts next week. Thank goodness we got to break into this easily. This game was at 9 am but he had to be there by 7:15. Luckily Daryle took him and Connor and I arrived closer to 8:30. We had a huge monsoon last night.... which means it was HUMID out there and HOT HOT HOT! Here is Travis before the game. Go #82!</div>

We did have a little "scare" during the game. A kid on the other team hurt his back. After a 30 minute delay to the game he was taken off the field in an ambulance. They say it is precautionary and he will be fine. However, for this being our very first football game EVER it kind of shook me up. Travis was a little shaken too. When I asked him what he thought of his first game he said, "Well, that was a little weird. That kid left in an ambulance...." I said I know, but what were you thinking BEFORE that happened?? He smiled and said he liked it. Phew. Then Daryle said, "Well, I am not sure how much more of this your mom can take!!!" We all laughed. Well, maybe Daryle laughed more than me. I think he may be right on that one.</div>

I have a feeling the rest of the year is going to be like this. Travis is doing great in 4th grade. Connor LOVES Kindergarten. Daryle and I are just trying to keep our heads above water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And oh yeah. Daryle also signed Travis to play fall baseball.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So much for sleep. I think it's overrated anyway!!</div>

Sometimes I can hardly believe it has been 9 years since we brought Travis home. In some ways it seems like yesterday. In other ways it seems like a lifetime ago. Either way, I wouldn't change a thing! <br />
<br />
This summer I decided I needed to make a video for Travis like I made for Connor. The challenge was that most of Travis' first year or two home was taken on film. I started to get CD's made when I developed the film but all of the pictures I took in Russia were on film only. Luckily I had saved the negatives and fortunately Costco does an excellent job at putting negatives onto CD. I also had to do some scanning. It took me days to get it all accomplished. I am so glad I had the time to complete this project. One thing I noticed as I was doing this was that we all looked so YOUNG! LOL I don't know if parenting has aged us or what... I don't FEEL any older! <br />
<br />
All things aside, we are so happy to be celebrating this special day after all these years. Sometimes going through the daily grind, along with life's ups and downs, makes us forget what we went through to bring Travis home. Keeping this fresh in our minds once a year is a good time to reflect on all of the good that has resulted from this adoption. This is my family. I never in a million years thought this would be how my family would be made. Once again I am reminded, and am in awe, of the power of faith and prayer in our lives. I see it first hand in the eyes of my children. <br />
I am beyond grateful. <br />
<br />
Happy 9th Gotcha Day Travis!<br />
I love you! <br />
XOXOXOXOXO<br />

July has been a busy month. We began it by flying back to Arizona from California. </div>

Since we were not with Daryle on the 4th of July he saved some fireworks to do with the kids. It worked out because we didn't see any fireworks at all while we were in California. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Actually, we were passed out early. We had spent the day at the beach.)</div>

Daryle always takes off on the first day of school. I love that he does this. He always takes cute pictures. Of course Travis didn't want to be seen with him and ran off to play soccer on the big field. Thankfully he had to take Connor to the other side of the school where lots of parents had cameras. Connor is so lucky to go to school with 3 of his good friends from preschool. He is already asking me if he can go to High School as well as college with them.... All I can think is "Here comes trouble!!" lol At least he knows college is in his future... right?</div>

At the end of June we bought a new car to replace the one that was totaled in the car accident. We have been very happy with our purchase. It has more technology in it than our house I think! haha </div>

It wasn't really a "pleasure trip" and Daryle couldn't go since he had used up so much vacation time when he was sick earlier this year. Our main goal was to finish cleaning out Grandpa's California house and put it on the market to sell. Goal accomplished! Now we just wait for it to sell. Since we were very busy with this task we didn't get to visit with our friends or go to many places. We did make it to our favorite park twice and the ocean once. Other than that it was hanging out with Grandma and her cat Missy while cleaning out grandpa's house. He has lived there since 1965 so there was a lot to go through. At times it seemed like we would never get done, but in the end it all came together nicely. We finally managed to see the light at the end of the tunnel! I did manage to capture some of our trip in pictures. Enjoy!</div>

People who know me know I am not much of a "cat" person. That is why it was so funny that Missy sat right on my lap. Ugh was my initial thought. After spending a week with her we have actually formed a bit of a bond. That is saying a lot for me!! She really is a sweet kitty.</div>

I was actually ahead of schedule and was able to spend a day with the boys at Bodega Bay. I have never seen the beach like this before. If you know Northern California beaches then you know they are usually gray and foggy. The sun comes out for a bit in the afternoon then the fog rolls back in again. Well, this day it was like a Southern California beach day! The sun was out the entire time. We spent 4 hours there... and got a little sunburned... oops... where was the fog we usually see??? No sweatshirts for us on this day! The three of us had so much fun. It was a great way to spend the 4th of July. Seeing all of the campers there made me want to go camping at the beach sometime. </div>

Back to Grandma's and to see Travis' new BFF Missy. It was a shocker that she let Travis pick her up. She doesn't let anybody pick her up. We think Travis is a "cat whisperer". I don't know what Travis will be when he grows up but for sure I know he will be around animals somehow.</div>

All in all we had a very good trip. We got a LOT of work done and towards the end of the week the weather cooled off for us. Thanks Santa Rosa! Until next time....</div>

It's hard to believe that our summer is already half way over! Yikes! Where does the time go? The kids have already spent some time running through the sprinklers. It surprised me that they had no idea what to do until I ran through them myself. Then they kind of stared at me like I was off my rocker. Eventually they got he hang of it and had some fun. We don't have a pool so this is as good as it gets around here these days.</div>

It seems like my husband and kids have been spending a lot of time at Chase Field. Less than two weeks after the sleep over was Star Wars Day at Chase Field. Connor loves to dress up and so does his daddy! This has become their tradition the past two years. Connor went right up to these guys and grabbed their hands. Too cute!</div>

I guess I haven't been very good at taking pictures of our daily activities. No pictures of the library, swimming at Grammy's, lounging around the house in our jammies all day (well we only did that about 3 or 4 days ... at the most! haha), dentist appointments, lunch with friends, painting the laundry room, painting doors, making minor repairs, washing the blinds, washing window coverings, cleaning all of the stuff above my kitchen cabinets, going to the movies, and going to Little League games as well as football conditioning practice. Yes we have been busy. No I have not been carrying the camera all around with me to document all of this fun. It has been a pretty low key summer thus far. On Thursday Travis and Grandpa will head to California. On Saturday Connor and I will do the same. Poor Daryle has to stay here. He used up all of his time recovering from surgery earlier this year. When we get back we only have two weeks until our lives to back to the rat race. For now we are enjoying just taking it one day at a time. Yay for summer!</div>

(This is the agency we used to bring Connor home from Russia.) Please click on this link and share this story as much as possible. There are still 300 children waiting to be united with their American families but are stuck in Russian orphanages due to political issues between the two governments. We need to spread the awareness and put the pressure on both the American and Russian governments to address this human rights issue and allow these children to be united with their waiting families. This is a cause that is very close to my heart. I can't imagine what these parents and children are enduring. Please take a moment to read this post on June 13 about supporting this cause and share. <br />

Travis and Daryle had spent the night at Chase Field and were on their way home when they got hit in an intersection not far from our house. We are so thankful it was not worse than this! Daryle is a little sore but the boys were just fine. Shaken up but fine. Thank goodness! On top of that, it was Connor's 5th birthday. They were on their way home so that we could begin the celebration. Connor was patiently waiting for them to get home so he could open up his gifts. Once we got everybody home it was time to celebrate Mr. Connor.</span></span></td></tr>

Even though this day started off rough, Connor had a great birthday. He got to see his friends, he got all of the things he asked for, and we were all able to be there because nobody was seriously injured in the accident. Now we wait to hear if it is totaled or can be repaired. For now I am driving a huge rental car. It has a DVD player in it which is a novelty for my boys. Happy 5th Birthday Connor! We love you so very, very much! Here's to many more... may they be less eventful than birthday #5!!</div>

I love getting pictures of the boys taken. It's not like we are lacking around here or anything. I just know that one day they will be all grown up. This is my way of making sure I have lots and lots of reminders of how they used to look. They are just growing up so quickly. Connor is about to be in Kindergarten and Travis is heading to Fourth grade. Time just won't stand still. Darn it. I used to think, "One day they will be 5 and 10, won't that be weird? We will all be at the same school together for one year." </div>

It's here. It's fun. It won't last long! </div>

May 27, 2013 marked 4 years to the day of when we officially became Connor's parents. In some ways it seems like years and years and years ago. Yet we can remember it like it was yesterday. Connor got to pick where we went for dinner. He chose his favorite local restaurant.</div>

About two weeks ago we got a call from one of Travis' friends from school. His mom wanted to know if Travis would like to play on her son's team in a baseball tournament over Memorial Day weekend. They were short some players and needed some kids to fill in. Of course Daryle and Travis both said, "YES!" Originally they were supposed to play at a some fields about 15 minutes from our house. However, due to so many teams signing up (several from out of state) they moved the location. This place was an hour from our house. We decided to get a hotel and call it a "Staycation". Here is my little "Hooligan".</div>

He had a short talk with Travis about safety!! (On a side note. After the game the ump called him "Bob". Travis said that wasn't his name. The ump said, "When you are behind the plate, everybody becomes 'Bob' to me!") </div>

Travis did awesome at catcher. He actually got somebody out at home plate. Too bad I didn't have my camera out. It was a pretty amazing play!</div>

Well, after four games, and four losses, we packed up and headed back home. Even though they lost, those boys never lost their spirit or passion for the game. They had a great time despite losing. In all we scored 5 runs, Travis scored 2 of those. He didn't get any great hits but he did get walked. Pretty much when he gets walked he will steal his little heart out until he makes it home. Needless to say we came home with some dirty clothes. That's a good thing! I am thankful it was a three day weekend. I am also thankful that we are now on summer vacation! Now I can get caught up on all of the laundry and house cleaning that didn't happen over the last three days. I have a feeling more of these weekends will be in our future. Sigh. It's the memories, right??!!?</div>
