Wrapping it Up

It may look like Josh is sleeping, but I
just happened to catch him mid-blink. I just
couldn't pass up this adorable picture. 

September came and went far too quickly. But we sent it out with a celebration...Josh's 30th birthday! Overall it was a pretty great month! And I still can't believe it's over. The boys are SO excited for the upcoming months though with Halloween to look forward to and they have already begun a countdown to Christmas. Here we go!

Donuts and chocolate milk are always a good
idea, especially on a day off of school!

From Donuts to the Domes. A great Monday morning!

These were Benji's favorite.

These yellow ones were Milo's
favorites!

And these three boys are my favorite.
(and their dad too)

The tropical dome was a hit!

These two worked together to build
a castle they were proud of!

Nicely done, boys!

Family walks are always full of adventure.

..and sticks. 

Lots and lots of sticks.

Another tower for the books.

We love the Milwaukee Public Library.

Miles was entertained by the cars out
this window for a solid 20 minutes.

Benji, proud of his red tower, requested
a picture of it to show his Dad, but did
not want to be in the picture.

And Miles, wanted to do the same
hilarious thing that Benji did. 

I was cooking dinner and turned
around to find this kid just casually
lying in the middle of the kitchen.

He stayed here for a good 20 minutes
chatting away and keeping me company.

We love you!

Happy birthday, Dad!

It may be his birthday, but I feel like I'm the lucky one!

The boys were thrilled when they got to help dad
blow out his candles.

And the elders were thrilled to be able to
celebrate Brother Murphy's birthday with him.

Now, on to October!

Septiembre

We spent more than we intended to on a Brewers game but we made some memories. The boys had so much fun watching the home runs and staying up late. It was definitely a night to remember! September has treated us well so far and we love being able to spend time outside whenever we can. We know that time will be limited once winter comes!

Oliver loved being able to
dance to all of the music.

Go Brewers!

The color coordination was not planned.

The big boys loved the late night,
Oliver did not. 

Gosh, he is adorable!

This was seconds before he put
his foot in front of the camera and
laughed until he had tears.

Picnics are always a good idea.

Miles was very mad that I was taking a picture
but I never want to forget them and our
afternoons together!  

I LOVE THEM! 

And I can't get enough of these
cheesy smiles.

My life is awesome.

I had to document all three children
laying on me. I'm going to miss these days!

And then the big boys hijacked my phone.

Cuties.

Mr. Ollie Bear loves watching his Dad.

More sticks for the stick house!

I caught Josh mid blink (sleep)
but I had to capture my handsome
Sunday boys.

We've got a future dentist on our hands.

Oh, Oliver. You're too cute!

A lovely dose of Milo

And a lovely dose of Benji!

Beach days are our favorite.

I just can't get enough!

I don't think we are lacking
when it comes to pictures of
Ollie. But he is just too cute
to NOT take pictures of! 

September has treated us well. We have played hard and the boys have loved watching all of the leaves change colors and fall off of the trees. It's something they've never really experienced before and they get so excited whenever they see a leaf fall. Their joy and excitement for life is contagious and I am so blessed to be their mom!
