Wordless Wednesday: "I did it Mama!"

Almost wordless...I asked Hadley to go get her panties on and she ran into the playroom and proudly said, "I did it Mama!" I love this girl!

Michael's Birthday Weekend!

We had a whole weekend celebration for Michael's birthday this year!

It started off Friday night, when Michael & I snuck away for a few hours to go out to eat! We stuffed ourselves with shrimp, crawfish, and crab legs until we were sick! Thanks Nana for coming over to watch the kiddos...we enjoyed our dinner!

Saturday, my family and our friend Matt came over to celebrate at our house! We grilled hot dogs and hamburgers and then enjoyed a home-made blackberry cobbler for dessert per request from the birthday boy! The cobbler wasn't pretty, but sure tasted amazing! We had a great time!

The birthday boy with his babies...I think they thought we were singing to them!

Opening presents...I think this is the first time EVER that I have surprised Michael! With the help of Matt, we got him some screw-gun thing that he has been wanting! He was very happy!

Our Family!

We woke up Sunday morning and surprised Daddy with 'breakfast' in bed! C&H were so excited and couldn't wait to show Daddy the cards they picked out for him!

On Sunday night, we went to Michael's parents house for dinner, cake, and a little swimming!

And a cute video of everyone swimming! C thoroughly enjoyed squirting Uncle Travis with his water gun! Just listen to that laugh!!!

Happy Birthday Michael...cheers to another year! I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you!! I love you! Thanks for everything you do for me and our family!

Happy Birthday Michael!

BLASTOFF Song

If you have been around C&H for any amount of time, you have heard them sing the 'Blastoff' song from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! They LOVE it and I am amazed they can count backwards from 10 to 1!!! Just thought I would share...H is so proud at the end of the song!!!

Flash Cards

We have a set of flash cards and C&H love to play with them. I keep them on a shelf in their room and everyday when I go into get them up, H usually asks to see the flash cards. I love their reactions on the 'letter I' and I love how C keeps saying, "what is it??"! They are growing up before my eyes!!!

Spaghetti Faces!

We had spaghetti last night...and I would say C&H LOVED it! They loved to suck the noodles into their mouth! Silly kids!

I ❤ these pictures!

A Slippin' and A Slidin'

I bought C&H a slip-n-slide a while back and decided to let them play in it yesterday afternoon. They were so excited when they woke up from their nap and had a surprise waiting for them outside! They didn't quite get the concept of it, so I spent most of the time pushing them and getting soaked. Their cousin Braxton stopped by and played for a little while...I was hoping after they saw him running and sliding, they would catch on, but no such luck! They had fun and that's all that matters!

Wordless Wednesday: Hide and Seek with Pogee

Memorial Weekend 2011

For Memorial weekend this year, we went camping in Eureka Springs with my parents and my niece, Sophie! We had so much fun and enjoyed every second of our long weekend! I took over 400 pics while we were there and had a hard time narrowing it down...here are some of my faves!
