1. Our Family pictures have been canceled twice now because of the crappy rainy/ windy weather...I know you were all wondering where the yearly new fall pics were right;) ha ha
2. Sometimes I get so bored with day in day out routine and need to mix it up a bit or need something to change anybody else ever feel like that??
{a good change that is not asking for something major}
3. K2 is having his eye surgery in Dec I'm so nervous and scared for him he's my baby and the sweetest kid you ever met!!! I mean he seriously says to me things like "I love you SO much" or mom you have lots of bags be so careful there is ice on stairs" He is the most thoughtful loving boy EVER!! and the thought of any pain and him about does me in ...but I know it will help him and is for the best!
We had a super fun day on the day of his apt just us and him...he was so cute and excited about everything and was super good for the Dr's...
4.oh and found out he will need glasses before he starts school too..... YEAH ha ha for us 3 kids in glasses oh fun times
{good thing for us we have good insurance}

5. My little miss L is a tad bit boy obsessed already heaven help us!!
6. My football man is growing up its seriously seriously crazy he is such a great boy I sure hope he stays that way:) SO a Funny story HE was super mad at me the other morning because he lost his lunch kit a week ago...... SO of course being the thoughtful, kind mother I am...... I thought it would be awesome to give him an old lunch kit of M's a buzz light year one {as a joke obviously I mean he is almost 11 ;) So I fill up his lunch kit write him his little daily note....... and he comes up.... freaks out that he isn't taking that baby thing.......... tells me he throw his lunch out and grabs his backpack and goes to the bus! Well 5minutes later thinking the bus had already left the door opens he runs in gives me a huge hug tells me he's sorry and that he loves me and runs back to the bus! Now that is a good kid!! Love that little man!! {pic. by Hamons}

I'd love to win the cookbook. Here's hoping you'll pick me. :)
Still reading...and still loving!!! :) I believe we met in Saskatoon when you guys lived here but I've gotten to know you better through your blog and online!! :)
Somedays I want to cry too, so I do. It's okay.
I am still reading!!! I look forward to it every week :) I love hearing the stories of whats going on in your guys' lives! We first met at the Bevans house when Ry and I were dating and it was the first time I had ever been there and I walked downstairs and there were kids EVERYWHERE total mayhem and I must have looked overwhelmed because you said "Yeah.. The Bevans' breed like rabbits!" haha love you!
Okay.....between your new song on your play list....your amazing kids and their thoughtful kindness....makes me want to cry too!
Thanks for the pick me up posts you always write. Love ya!
P.S. Thought about you lots when I was in the temple yesterday going through with missionary boy NO. 2 for the first time. ; )
Hey, it was good to see you a couple of weeks ago... sort of reminded me of all the fun we had at Ricks College. When did we grow up so fast?? Your blog is Inspiring! Thanks for picking me up when I feel down, and a good cry never hurt anyone! Thanks for being my friend, have a good week! Don't stress to much over the operation, or he will too! You'll be amazed at how well everything will go! We've had some health issues with shaylee and she just amazes me with her inner strength every time we deal with a new challenge! Hugz :-)
I just clicked links got here and just kept on reading
Ooh, I'd love to get their new cookbook. I was trying recipes from their site quite often, but haven't been to their site or tried a new one of theirs in a while. Hmm, mostly met through Kolt and piano although mostly its just in passing that I see/talk to ya. But you know I love reading your blog!
I'm still here... I need to be better at commenting! Life needs to slow down eh?! The problem with this all this is we STILL haven't met! Ugh! One of these days we just need to book a flight out to see Jill we can take Janeal with us... just like you said in our e-mail! It would be such a blast! I know we would all be insta friends! Love the way you think Christal... it's SO what I think! It makes me feel good to know I'm not the only one. I'm a little sad lately too... maybe we are sad because of the same thing. ;) Sure do love you! ♥ Sending hugs your way!
I keep meaning to buy that cook book! So if I win that would be awesome. I love reading your blogs. You are always so positive nd I've always said I wanted to be like you when I was a mom! Hot and amazing!!! I'm assuming YW was first time I met you. I couldn't believe a YW leader could fit in to my shorts. ( you borrowed some on camp once if you e forgotten).
Still here - lurking and people watching as always - just taking a break from sorting out the junk in the office and actually just went through a pile of YM photos that included D. Good luck with the presentation, definitely breathing a sigh of relief that we are done with that!
I read your blog all the time Christal! I tend to lerk, not comment… but I think your awesome! your sisters are pretty great too- thank Heavens for blogs so I can keep up with y'all!!

Got letters and pics yesterday. Thanks :)
It's amazing how fast kids recover from eye surgery. Bretts was back to normal the day after his.
Of course i'm reading :) HA!
So you know I always read I'm just horrible and commenting. But I hear ya on the family pictures being cancelled...we have rescheduled ours 3 times now I'm wondering if it will ever happen..maybe snow pictures. If K eye surgery is in calgary and you need a place to stay let me now we have lots of extra beds!
The second cook book, but I still don't have the first one! I really need to get it, you are always talking about all the great recipes form there.
Same old boring stuff around here, to busy to really keep up with anything all that well so just doing our best to stay afloat!
We need another games night, or out to dinner or something so the 4 of us can just chat!
Of course I'm still reading! And listening...love your playlist when I'm cooking or cleaning my kitchen.
Met ya at church and miss having you in the ward!
You know I'm here too!I'm so sad to think of K2 having surgery as well. He will be a little trooper though. Love the story of K apologizing. I was completely obsessed by boys at L's age too. Good luck with that-it never quite ended for me :)
I'm still reading...love your blog! I'd LOVE the cookbook :)
