Mountain, Tree, and Sky: October 2010

http://amountainandatree.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Mountain, Tree, and Sky. Thursday, October 28, 2010. I found an easy recipe on Family Fun's website. It is just glue, borax, water and food coloring. The boys had so much fun with it. We usually make play dough, but decided to make slime for a change. Waiting for the slime to congeal. Everest was so excited. In the beginning Everest wanted green, but when it came time to add color, both boys picked blue. Everest with his slime. Leaf wasn't sure what to think at first. Then he rolled it. 3/4 c warm water.

Mountain, Tree, and Sky: July 2010

http://amountainandatree.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Mountain, Tree, and Sky. Saturday, July 31, 2010. I tried to be a little artistic on this hike, I am no where near the photographer Nathan is, but I was having fun. The rocks were so beautiful. I could bore you with lots of them, but I picked my favorite. I could have taken so many pictures of the rocks, but I kept getting too far behind the gang. I love the contrast of the blue sky, white clouds, and green mountains. Links to this post. Friday, July 30, 2010. Riding the bus in Denali. Beautiful view&#46...

Mountain, Tree, and Sky: Aurora's First Birthday!!

http://amountainandatree.blogspot.com/2011/08/auroras-first-birthday.html

Mountain, Tree, and Sky. Thursday, August 25, 2011. My baby girl is a year old! Wow how time flies. A little more than a year ago, I was still sick all the time, stressed about life with 3 kids, and worried about how to feed a family of 5 (especially because we thought for sure she was a boy- and if you have seen my husband and my boys eat- you understand my worry! Good morning birthday girl! I have seen them at target too). Look at my birthday crown! It is my birthday and I want PIZZA! Climbing on the c...

Mountain, Tree, and Sky: September 2010

http://amountainandatree.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Mountain, Tree, and Sky. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Yesterday while I was nursing Aurora, she had a classic "blow out." Leaf was standing near me, he turned and said "Mama, Roara blow up! Yes, Leaf, I guess she did kind of blow up. Thanks for asking about her and us. We are all doing fine. I am still trying to figure out how to manage 3 kids. Sometimes I do well and other times, well. Links to this post. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. This was a few days later, I came downstairs and found Nathan and Aur...

Mountain, Tree, and Sky: April 2011

http://amountainandatree.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Mountain, Tree, and Sky. Saturday, April 30, 2011. Leaf's first hair cut. Big brother needed a hair cut too, so he went first. Leaf waiting patiently. This is the last picture of his beautiful curly hair. He was surprisingly still MOST of the time. Look at his face, he couldn't wait to see it. A few curls I saved. Wow, does he look different! It was almost bedtime, this was the best I got before the "pikes". I think Leaf's hair looks so much redder. Leaf with "pikey" hair. Links to this post. Leaf wanted...

Mountain, Tree, and Sky: Playing at McCormick Creek

http://amountainandatree.blogspot.com/2011/09/playing-at-mccormick-creek.html

Mountain, Tree, and Sky. Friday, September 2, 2011. Playing at McCormick Creek. McCormick Creek State Park July 31-August 3. Many of the State Parks in Indiana have a community pool. We needed it! It was so hot. Aurora had not napped all day and she desperately needed one, but we all needed to cool off. Nathan had to keep dipping her in the water to cool both of them off. She slept happily the whole time.I have been telling you- she is an amazing baby. Ouchit looks like this will be painful, but he misse...

Mountain, Tree, and Sky: First Days

http://amountainandatree.blogspot.com/2011/08/first-days.html

Mountain, Tree, and Sky. Monday, August 29, 2011. How do you prepare yourself for this day? Everest started Kindergarten last week. It is so cliche, but where does the time go? This year was not as bad as I anticipated with Everest. He is still at Montessori and knows most of his class already. He is in a different class with different teacher (who are all amazing), and he goes 5 afternoons.This year will be more academic than the last 2, but I think he is ready for the challenge. Blueberry pancakes, wit...

Many of the State Parks in Indiana have a community pool. We needed it! The boys played with their squirt bottles while Nathan cools Aurora. Stop Mama. Don't take my picture. I did anyway and as soon as I put the camera down, he came over and wanted to see the picture. He is a two year old! Ouchit looks like this will be painful, bu...

Mountain, Tree, and Sky: November 2010

http://amountainandatree.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Mountain, Tree, and Sky. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Today was the first day of another session of swim lessons. The boys were so excited. Everest got new spiderman goggles, Leaf got Everest's hand me down. When we got to swim lessons, the instructor never showed up. Someone called her and she had mistakenly written us down to start in January. The kids were not disappointed they swam and played for an hour and a half. Gotta love the straps sticking straight out!

Mountain, Tree, and Sky: March 2011

http://amountainandatree.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Mountain, Tree, and Sky. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. For some reason, this post never got posted. The first two pictures were taken in the late summer, early Fall of 2009. The last one was taken in December of 2009. They are so beautiful, and peaceful when they sleep. Unfortunately for us, it is a rare occurrence. Everest is in the process of phasing out nap time. He has been a little crankier than usual, because some days he still needs a nap, (or he needs to sleep in- haha! Links to this post. I love my n...
