Oh my......

So, James has been wanting to get into a rather large mud puddle in our yard. Well, today was the day. It was warm and sunny and he had to get in. Now, I normally would not allow him to be in the yard in his underwear when it is 60 degrees but I figure, you are only 3 once, and one day soon, he won't want to do these things. So, splish splash in the mud bath. As I watched him slash around I realized I needed a picture so someday he might let his own kids do something like this just because they will only be little once.

He's not 4 yet

Paul and Beckie, Chad's parents, came in last weekend so we had a little birthday party for James. I can't believe my baby is going to be 4 in a few weeks. So, I'm going to enjoy my last few weeks with a three year old. As you can see in the pictures, James got some new space gloves from his Maw Maw and Paw Paw. He loves them and even slept in them that night!

ROAR

The new noise in our house is Connor roaring like a dino all the time. He thinks it is hilarious and if you jump and act like he scared you he can hardly contain himself. Rolls and rolls of laughter. James liked the dinosaurs too but of course was ready to go see the space exhibit. Somethings never change.

Happy St. Patty's Day

James picked out his clothes and Connors clothes for St. Patricks Day. He insisted on wearing pjs with green all day, even in the mud. Connor loves riding his rocket outside. Our driveway has a very slight decline and he loves that it rolls right into the one little patch of grass we have.

First Trip to the ZOO

It was beautiful a few weeks ago so my friends Francie and Rachel and I loaded up our little ones and headed to the zoo. It was so much fun to watch the first generation of the three amigos run around and the second generation three amigos ohh and ahh over the animals, well they looked at them....

Spring!!

Spring has finally started to peek out from under the clouds and we are SOOOO excited!!

The 6 Sweetest Kiddos EVER!!!

Seeing Uncle Greg's ship

James loved going to see the ship that Greg is assigned to. He especially loved "Driving" the pirate ship. He has a one track mind!!

Up Up and Away

Connor loved flying and since we have been back he has been playing with airplanes. Future pilot.....we will see!

Connor turned 1

Connor turned 1 on the 7th. I didn't think that it would "bother" me like it did when James turned one but I think in the end I was even a little sadder this time. The time just goes too fast. But, Connor has been a wonderful baby. He LOVES to eat and will eat just about anything. He loves James and it starting to tell him how he feels which, Chad and I find hilarious. He is into EVERYTHING and laughs the whole time he is throwing stuff everywhere. He loves to "color" on paper but only with markers. Crayons are far too boring for him. He says Bye, Nigh (for good night), light, ya and shakes his head, and book. It has just been wonderful to watch him grow and change and become the little guy that he is. I know that I'm a little biased but I think that he is the sweetest little guy on Earth and I feel more and more blessed everyday for being his mom and James' mom.

Snow day!!!

Merry Chirstmas - this post replaces the cards that I didn't get out this year!!

A warm november day!!

We took advantage of an unusually warm November day. James loved jumping in the leaves. Connor wasn't so sure...

New House

A couple of people have asked for pics of the new house so here are a couple. They aren't the best but there all I have for right now! You can probably guess what James likes the best!!!
