Blue Eyes





March 7 2012

These blue eyes didn't have time to look at Momma or the camera, they were too busy watching the show. But I do love those blue eyes.

I've been Krogering

March 6 2012

So I don't know about your kids but going to the grocery store is only fun if they:
A) CAN RIDE IN THE CAR BUGGY.
B) I but them a toy (which almost never happens.)
C) Well...........i don't know it just almost is never fun for them.

But did you know that Kroger now gives out stickers at the register?? And they give your kids suckers, which has apparently been going on for a while, we just have never gotten one before. Well this made the boys experience so much better today. But don't let them fool you with their cuteness. They got to spend time with Me (that is worth all the grocery time, I sang and made faces), and they were pretty well behaved.


This is Noah's face before we got started. Can you see the excitement. I mean he is only almost 3!!! Really?

Before bedtime

March 6 2012

Luke usually loves the bath, but lately he has been crying and wanting to get out. I think because he knows that he gets to put on his diaper and play in his room with Momma or Daddy. He loves to have our undivided attention and wear as few clothes as possible. Tada-- after bath play time.







He still hasn't gotten the crawling thing down. But he has learned how to pull himself up in the crib to stand. SOOOOO......we lowered the mattress. It was about time. And he has a blast standing there playing, being loud, and banging on the side. Noah got in on the action. He is just full of himself.


Me and my boys







March 5 2012

Just headed to the park to let the boys play. Snapped some pics with me and my boys.

8 months old

March 4 2012

Well this is my 800th post and and it is about my 8 month old. Crazy how the months keep flying by. He is getting so big. Literally, he is a chunk, packing on the lbs before he starts crawling. Although he may walk before that.

This month he has tried:
beef
turkey
chicken
cantaloupe
watermelon
honey dew
corn

He still has not teeth. He stands besides his toys and plays, sometimes stands for 5-10 seconds if he forgets he is not holding on to anything, and pushes his toy walker around (slowly but still). He still wakes up once in the early morning for milk and then it is back to sleep till 7 most days; where I find him turn over, tangled in the blanket playing with his stuffed puppy dog, and jabbering away.

He loves being outside. He has the syllables nana, baba, dada, mama, and AHHHHHHHHHHH down for sure. He lights up when he sees Momma, and is noticing when I drop him off at nursery that I leave. He cries, I watch from afar, and he stops shortly there after. He has learned the sign for MORE, but nothing else is sticking, it's still early. He is my heart.

Windy/Hannah Baby Shower

March 3 2012

Celebrating my sweet friend's baby girl, Hannah. I got to got to a baby shower for Mommy Windy. I love that we get to peek in and share so many special moments of our lives together. She was there for me when I had Noah and Luke and it is so wonderful to help her welcome baby Hannah in the near future. She and Benny will be excellent parents.




Jadon's Birthday

March 3 2012

We had so much fun at Jadon's 4th Birthday Party at Pump It Up. Noah has asked to go back several times since then, "For another birthday party."

Momma and Lukers.

These pics crack me up. I thought Noah would get use to going down the "BIG" slide. But his face showed pure excitement/terror every time.

Daddy and Noah


Even Luke had fun.

Small group girls.

The Daddy's on baby duty.

Jadon the Birthday Boy

My guys.

Yucky shoe



Just Luke playing with Noah's tenni shoe.

After he puts it in his mouth a few times, he spits up, YEP that's what putting a shoe in your mouth will do.

1/2 Lasix

March 1 2012


So we thought this was the last picture that Drew would wear glasses in. Noah has only ever known Daddy with glasses. Dr. Oakley, (is in our small group and did the surgery), but when she got in there, one eye went perfectly, and the left eye surgery was going great when the machine didn't complete the cut. All this means is that Drew will have to let his eye heal and go back in 3 months to have the left eye finished. We are certainly blessed to have this opportunity for him to have this corrective surgery.

This is what the boys and I did while Daddy had surgery. Played at Grana's house.

Busied our selves at Walkmart.


After picking Daddy up. Noah repeatedly asked, "Daddy are you okay?" "Daddy do your eyes hurt?" Drew was the calmest I have ever seen him. He was valium-ed up. Noah went and got his construction googles when we got home because he wanted to be like Daddy.


The good eye

The one that will be done in 3 months. Drew can not wait.


Both the boys have blue eyes like Drew, But I think Noah has the biggest more lite blue eyes of his great-grandfather.

Luke has eyes more like Drew. They both have ridiculously long eye lashes to woo the girls with later.

Daddy Tickles

Pal-ing around








Feb 29 2012

I didn't have a same sex sibling, so I am not sure what it is like to have a sister so close in age. I am sure that these two boys will love being each others best friends. I do know that Luke adores his brother already and when Noah is in the room all eyes are on him. He watches everything he does. I just love to see my sweet boys love on each other.
