true dat.


Everybody's a mad scientist, and life is their lab.
We’re all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos.
Some of our experiments blow up in our faces, and some of them make us jump with joy at the results they bring us.
But all in all, we’re always in the laboratory experimenting. And believe me, we’re all mad to the core.
We wouldn’t be here if we weren’t.

sup, yo

october/part of november...



jeff & noah invented a backyard game involving oars and a ball



it was very fun and innovative.



the boys decorated their mini pumpkins



luke posed with his.



we had a good time with mater & the gang at at a
FREE promo event for Cars 2



luke's (awesome!) preschool teachers, shelby & kel, came over
for a home visit. he couldn't have been more excited.




noah's soccer team was the coolest soccer team ever.
(pictured: noah, sienna, gabe, julian, tristan)



luke the Artist began to emerge



i took pictures of cool toys at erika's house.



the kids participated in a doughnut-eating contest



...where noah and julian gave it their all.



sports night wouldn't be sports night without me snapping
a shot of little Olive.




halloween came...luke forgot he was being luke skywalker
and spent the morning as a western/cowboy guy.



noah (aka a sheriff) was in the annual halloween parade
at his school. (his 'girlfriend', jadyn, is behind him.)



we got to the trunk-or-treat an hour late (it was over) and
felt like losers. we did, however, manage to get a family
photo- our first in like a year.


oh wait...how can i forget this winner,

back to halloween- the boys managed to get a sufficient
amount of candy. luke .. naked . . . ??




bret helped grandpa dig a trench.



noah was Star of the Week at school



he beamed with pride as he told about himself
and then took questions from the audience.



bret went to west virginia to visit his parents on their
mission (where, oddly enough, he also served his). they got him

a banjo. he was pumped.



i concluded this post with a token cute shot of my boys.
