Oh Photoshop how I have missed you!

So we finally set up our desktop last night! So with it came my Photoshop! and Charles has been asleep all morning so I have got to fiddle with it all morning without worrying about him! Its already 10 am and I still haven't hard a peep from him! Poor boy hasn't taken a nap in like a week! I think he is trying to makeup p for it. Although with Sophia being at Head start I don't have as many pictures of her but my goal is to bring them out and get some good pics with the fall colors! YAY FALL! It has to be my favorite time of year! So here are a few random pics I fiddled with on Photoshop!

the coming of fall brings another Anniversary!

Its crazy to think that September 29th, 2012 was our 5 year Anniversary already! Also, it landed on a Saturday this year! So we didn't have to worry about whether David should take the day off of work or not! So this year we decided to do things a little differently! We decided to get a babysitter for the morning, well most of the day, and go up to Flagstaff with out the kiddos! (first Anniversary without them!) Went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast then went to the mall to just hang out and look around. The mall may sound boring to you, but when David and I were first dating we would always go hang out at the mall, so I guess it was more for remembering, but also David decided to SPOIL me! So I went in with no bags and came out with a bunch of new clothes and a new jacket! Its funny seeing what new trend will be in style and this year its those blazer type jackets and pea jackets again! Which I must confess I really like both! So now I own both! Then we went and picked up the kiddos around 3 and headed back to our place. Oh we also bought a new WII game!! DONKEY KONG! I know we are nerds! lol So then a normal day until the kids went to bed and I made a separate meal for us, and we got out our nice dishes ect and candle light, the usual romantic meal... then just relaxed playing pool, WII, ping pong and watching a movie! Overall it was a really fun day! 

So for fun here is a picture on our wedding day! I thought to take one of us on our Anniversary but we are both more willing to take pictures of our kids then us! So no pictures of us...

Then here are the beautiful flowers that were waiting for me when I woke up! I don't know how he sneaks them past me each year, but once again I was surprised! 

The card with us on it I made on Shutterfly for David and the other is his card to me!

Close up of the beautiful flowers!

This was either before or after our Anniversary! Sadly I don't remember but full moons are always beautiful and I actually got a few good pictures!!

 Then just a few random pictures of Charlies eating his Oatmeal one morning! He was super comical so I just kept taking pictures of him!

Random picture of Sophia looking out at me..

We also finally accented two walls in the kids room! Well actually Charles room was pretty much redone! Now it looks like a little boy room! Also Charles picked out the trains on the wall! He was super excited saying Choo Choo Choo CHoo!!!

Random pic of Charles

Charles and our neighbor Tyler! Tyler is soo cute he goes to Head Start with Sophia and the days I pick them both up after school he goes telling ever little kid their that Charles is his little brother! Which Charles doesn't mind at all!

Next is Sophia's new room! Purple looks super good in her room! They messed up on the paint so it ended up being a purple/pink color, but it ended up looking really good!

Sophia's first painting is framed in her room! Along with a picture of her coloring it and the date!

Sophia, Charles and Tyler were doing circles with their trikes!

Also on another random note, so my dad visited a week or so ago now and David called RACHEL and then I hear Charles go Rachel! (WACHEL is more what it sounds like!) but ever since then Charles calls me Rachel!!!! It sounds super cute, but at the same time I can't get him to call me MOMMY anymore! He thinks he is super funny too! So a few days after that happened he kept calling me Rachel instead of mommy and I go Charles no i'm mommy and he looks at me and goes mommy and I go yup Charlie i'm mommy!  then he cocks his head to the side and goes NO WACHEL!!!  what a little stinker! 

summer coming to an end

So a lot seems to have happened since I last posted! The biggest thing though is Sophia starting head start! All summer I was so excited Sophia got accepted into head start, and thinking how good it will be for her because she learns SO much from other kids! Well don't ya know the first day of school I CRY! lol, I had way harder of a time with it then she did! That first day I was like maybe she doesn't need to go to school, what am I going to do without my Sophia! ect ect probably all the normal thoughts when a kid starts school. Even though its only for three hours it seemed like such a big deal! and I guess it was, but after the first day you could tell how much she enjoyed it! Also, they hired a personal aid (don't know if thats the right wording but it will work!) for Sophia who is with her the whole time and gives her extra attention. Which of course Sophia loves! So overall it doesn't seem like as big of a deal as the first day, although I can honestly say if she came home all sad and the people at school said she seemed upset most of the day I would have instantly pulled her out! Which David reminds me that her aid would be without a job if I did that! So I guess Sophia going to school is good for more then just her! Also all the kids like her because she is so little! I feel like all her classmates would already defend her if someone were to try and be mean to her! She has won them over already!

Charles on the other hand loves having one on one time with mommy! and we go over early to get Sophia and he plays at the park! Then our neighbor boy Tyler (who also goes to head start with Sophs) comes over usually for a little while and plays! and oh boy does Charles love playing with another boy! Oh and Charles has switched to a toddler bed! Well he was constantly getting in and out of his crib that we figured we may as well convert it into a toddler bed! Which he loves, although he does seem to fall off quiet a bit! He just sleepily gets up and crawls back in bed!

Then our house, we painted the fire place white! Which looks super nice! Then we got a swing set for the kiddos out back, which they both LOVE! 

It seems hard to start over in a new town where you know few people, but we seem to be adjusting pretty well. Starting to make friends at Williams First Baptist Church and starting to get involved, I never thought I would like youth group (not sure why?) but that is what we have decided to get involved with here and I realize how much I like that age! Over all I think the Lord has helped us get established in our new town! Although I still miss Flagstaff and all our friends! 30 minutes away isn't that far, and I am pretty excited for MOPS to start to see a lot of friends again! Also for FCFs womens retreat down here in Williams! So many things to look forward to!

Sophia and her friends Jaelyn and Jordyn!

She was so excited her friends were at her house!

Jaelyn is buried underneath ALL the toys!
