We made it!!!! 52 weeks, what an accomplishment! This picture here is the one I used for our Christmas card. I think I'm still in shock everyone is looking at the camera, smiling and looking good.

On the card it says "Have your self a merry little Christmas".... please do!

And YES! In some form I will continue with 52 Weeks, with a slight variation. So many have started out just recently and what an accomplishment to make it to 52 of 52! You can do it! It's so important for your family memories!

52 Weeks is a year long challenge for YOU to be in a picture once a week for 52 weeks. We are always the ones behind the camera, this is YOUR chance to get out in front and be in the pictures with our family. We are glad you are joining this challenge. More importantly your family will really enjoy having you in the picture. Thanks for playing along! Oh, you can just jump in now with 1 of 52, you're not getting off that easy! Now go take a picture!

I debated on wether or not to put up the Linky but I'm going to go ahead and put it up. I'm pretty sure I won't make all of the rounds today, but perhaps within a couple of days when it slows down a bit. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Nothing special going on, just me and my oldest. He is always the most willing to be in a picture and is always such a great helper.

This picture is actually from two weeks ago. We have so few pictures of us together that I made sure we would at least have a handful of good pictures of the two of us together. Sigh, I love this man!

Sigh…. This man sure knows how to make me happy, how to make me smile. He was in the middle of a room remodel when I asked him to come take some pictures. And he did! Mind you he’s not a fan of getting his picture taken but he is a fan of making me happy and he knew that would do the trick. Thank you honey for a few pictures!

And wow, week 49….. how did I (and you too) get this far? Amazing!

Any ideas how I should handle the new year with some still just starting out? Maybe after 52 I could have a different button and have two running? I’m sure open to suggestions here.

I couldn't be happier, my husband, my best friend is home! Yeah! I asked our middle son to take this for us so we were getting down to his level.

Did I say I was happy? I am!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Have a very wonderful day with your loved ones!

This was in the locker room right after the boys first hockey game. That rink is so incredibly cold and yet these kids come out of there dripping sweat! And what is with my oldest up to? I guess he is getting too cool already.

Little Man and I headed to a local park for some fresh air. I set the camera on a stump and set the self timer for these pics. He had a blast in the big dry leaves. He wasn't too happy with me when I dragged him home for naptime.

The two oldest boys started Hockey this week. To say they were excited was an understatement. We have an awesome rink and hockey program here. The parents are completely involved and great people. This is our first year and I am totally excited for it! This picture is after their second hockey practice, after a quick bite to eat on the run, after a stop at the grocery store, after the drive home. This could be the normal routine for the next few months but I am seriously excited about the season ahead!

We've had the Geo Trax in a box for almost a year now. The kids saw the boxes and it was go time for mom. Time for me to set it all up that is. Geo is a fun train set, just as much fun for adults really, I have a blast designing the layouts. Little Man loves it and has yet to wreck the track. I cherish these times he sits in my lap as I know how fast they grow. Fun times to remember.

This week it's all about the school spirit...

Yes, I can get a little carried away sometimes. When will it be OK to paint MY face?

I just finished giving the boys each a hair cut. I had been cutting their hair occasionally the last few years, but since moving to this little town I've starting cutting everyone's hair on a regular basis. It's a fun time and I enjoying doing it for them.

They always ask for a 3 and a 5, doesn't get much easier than that. Plus I paid for the clippers the very first day!

I've been pretty under the weather so I'm using a pic from 2 weeks ago. My mom and I love to golf when we get together. This pic was taken inside the golf cart on a cool bridge. What a blast we had. The leaves were turning, the course was wonderful and the company superb.

Here’s a fun little sequence of pictures. The boys like to rough house and wrestle quite a bit. And Lineman and I usually get in the mix too.

It was a ton of fun and it lasted awhile and I was able to pin them both….. this time. My oldest is getting so strong it just amazes me! It won’t be much longer and these days will be past. I’m sure they won’t want to wrestle with their mama when they get older. So until then…. we wrestle.

It was all last minute for these pics, but we made it fun anway!

Turns out that my middle boy here is sick. These were taken Wednesday night and by the time I was getting this post ready.... this poor guy got sick. Hopefully we'll be seeing his funny, happy, crazy face again shortly.

I have to say I really didn't think this day would come.... Football sign-ups. Tackle football. Sure baseball, soccer and maybe basketball. But for some reason football never even crossed my mind. Well, he is all signed up, measured and weighed. And let me tell you, he is seriously excited about this!

Okay, I er, um, er.... forgot to get a picture WITH one of the kids this week. But I had my oldest take a picture OF me... so that is going to have to work for this week.

It had been a while but we got the bikes out this week and had an absolute blast!
