Lazy, I am not!

WOW! What's that saying?.... "Time flies when you're having fun!" :) LOL

Our Summer was amazingly busy and wonderful. Terry surprised me for my birthday and took me to Sedona! We had a great weekend hiking and site seeing. It was quiet and relaxing without the boys running around! Gabriel started his 2nd year of preschool and is really enjoying it. He has the same teacher and some of the same friends from last year. We had a bittersweet trip to Georgia in August to visit family. My father in law had a stroke, but has made an almost complete recovery (thank the stars!) and is already back to work! Then we headed out to San Diego/ Sea World for our family vacation. The boys loved it so much they still talk about going to Sea World like it's right around the corner.

The boys enjoyed Halloween. Gabriel was BumbleBee (transformers) and Tristan was Spiderman. We started the festivities on Thursday with Gabriel's class party. Friday, was a party at my office and then trick or treating Saturday night. For being a family who does not eat sugar the kiddos did pretty good! We all had a few treats, but they were okay giving up most it :)

Here it is already November and Thanksgiving is around the corner! We haven't started xmas shopping yet, but I have made my list. We're excited for our trip to the North Pole on the Polar Express at the end of the month. So far, no major plans for the holidays. Terry will be working Thanksgiving day. We're having dinner at my dad's on Wednesday night. More time to watch the game, I guess. We'll be home for xmas. Our home that is. Wish we could make the trip to GA... better yet they should all come visit us! My little brother, Kagan, might be coming to visit in Dec, but will be gone by xmas :(

Well, enough with all our crazy plans and non plans. My herbal studies are going wonderfully. I have found a fantastic website in which I'm using for most of my studies (www.herbmentor.com). I love them! Amazing people/herbalists! I will be making my 1st batch of my All Purpose Healing Salve next weekend. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted.

My photography is slowly but surely picking up. I did a session for one of the gals from work a few weeks ago. Their pictures turned out great (journeywithinphotography.blogspot.com). I learned photographing a 9 month old cocker spaniel can be more difficulty than children!

Terry has picked up a monthly gig at The Lucky Devil in Tempe. He's playing there the 1st Friday of every month. Still looking for some family friendly venues so we'll see what turns up.

Well, that's the latest on the life and times of the Clements Fam!

Happiness and Health ~M
