Mother's Day

This really was such a sweet day!!! Mark, the boys, and I went to church and then to lunch. Both boys behaved perfectly so lunch was actually relaxing. Then we went to drop flowers off at my grandma's new house. After we got the tour we headed over to the Smith's for presents, dinner, Suns game, and a Wii tournament!!! I got the CUTEST mom necklaces and PJ's this year! It was extra special for me because my mom and grandma came over too so we got to have dinner with all the MOMS!! It's so crazy to think that last year at my 1st Mother's day I had 1 child and now at my 2nd I have TWO-- I LOVE my boys sooooo much!!!!

MiMi & the boys

MiMi & GiGi

All dressed up...

It was so fun to get all dressed up and go out with no kiddos! Thank you GiGi for keeping the boys! I always LOVE going to a wedding where I am the guest and not running it although it kind of made me miss when I was doing like 30 weddings a year--For sure when the economy comes back around and the boys are in school I want to do tons of events again not just pick and choose!! I wish all the best to Kristina & Ben--it was a AMAZING wedding!!!!I'm so lucky I married a guy who LOVES to get dressed up-this can be bad shopping tho when we both want to go to our to our own departments!

Yuck!

Well I know I am lucky I have avoided this as long as I did, but the thought of when it finally happened scared me to death--Trey throwing up! I hate it with a passion (like I wont touch door knobs in a house where someones had it, and I spray lysol EVERYWHERE!) and the thought of Trey throwing up uncontrollably freaked me out. Well of course it would happen when Mark had a guys night that he had been planning for awhile. So I am home alone with Boston & Trey recovering from my bad cold when it started!!!! Luckily Boston was being amazing and fussed himself to sleep quick while I bathed Trey and mopped my floor. (I also had to call Mark and ask if he would only stay til the end of his fight because I could tell this was more than a 1 person job if Boston were to wake up) So we head downstairs to watch some Gullah Gullah and Trey proceeds to dance to the music and play. So I think we are in the clear--WRONG--he barfs all over our couch that is fabric so thats FUN to clean especially when I have to give another bath and change clothes again. After a couple more fun cleanups Mark gets home and of course Trey doesnt get sick again and goes to bed-lol. The picture above is what Trey did all day after he was done getting sick. It was almost pitiful seeing him lay on the couch all day, but nice too because he wanted to lay all over me again!!! So now the dreaded wait to see if anyone else will get it...

Big Bro Lil Bro

I have to say a HUGE thank you to my friend Sara who gave the boys these shirts that she MADE!!! I love them and think they are so cute!!!

Treyisms

*Picture from the farm with MiMi and PaPa @ 21 months*

Some things you are doing now...
-You are currently in swim and gym classes--you LOVE them
-Your new favorite show is Gullah Gullah Island and Imagination Movers, and Yo Gabba Gabba scares you to death now (for some reason ever since Jack Black was on and did a scary face you cry even if you just hear the theme song)
-When someone sneezes you mimic them and think its hilarious
-Your sleeping at nights has not gone back to normal yet since Boston
-You love going outside and watering the garden
-I can not stress how much you LOVE Uncle Shaw-its crazy!!!!
-Because of Shaw you are now VERY interested in lacrosse--probably your 2nd favorite to basketball
-You currently think the football player on the cover of the Madden game case is Shaw and even took the case to bed with you-if I ask you who is this you say Uncle Shaw
-You are OBSESSED with basketball and constantly say "shoot shoot ball" and your "shoot" sounds like another word which is a little embarrassing in public
-You have a weird fascination with belly buttons and will randomly try and lift peoples shirts up to see theirs (stranger or family)

Here's a resent embarrassing/funny story :
While eating breakfast at The Good Egg you were sitting in your high chair and a waitress came to take the table next to us' order--well lets just say her back side was VERY large and before I could stop you from doing what I knew you were going to do as soon as I saw you stick your pointer finger out you stuck your finger so far into her butt and then laughed-luckily she ignored it so we didn't have an akward moment face to face--I just avoided eye contact the rest of our meal.
I can't believe we only have 3 months to go and we will be celebrating your 2nd birthday!!!

Boston your 2 Months!

Well baby boy you have definitely carved your spot in my heart--its like I have loved you forever! Here is whats happened in the last month...
-Started smiling-my favorite!!!
-You are now in size 1 diapers
-You have the SMELLIEST gas ever (like worse than anything Trey has ever done--you could give a grown man a run for his money)
-You have slept 5 hours straight for me quite a few times and even give me random nights of 7 hours which is AMAZING!!!
-You love your binky and I love that you love it!
-You love the car which is so much more peaceful than your brother
-So far I am doing good at laying you down awake and you fall asleep on your own--now I just need to stick to it
-You are doing really good at drinking pumped bottles which is nice
-You love being on your tummy
You seem to overall be pretty layed back and we LOVE you so much!!! Happy 2 months!

1-2-3-4-FIVE!!!!

Mark and I have been married for 5 years today--crazy!!! The 1st 3 years we always took a big trip over our anniversary and it was heavenly, but the last 2 we would have had a 8 month or 2 month old and I was nursing so we have just done a date plus with the economy not being great it wasn't a big deal, however we ARE going somewhere next April because I won't be nursing anymore and better NOT be pregnant-lol! (So even though I have not asked yet I am almost positive GiGi and MiMi wont mind babysitting for a couple days each) Anyways tonight we went out to dinner at D'Vine (we love it there) and to the casino lol dont ask!

*Trey & Boston when you do come back and read this I do hope you have learned how to treat your wives on a holiday because it is something your Dad ALWAYS did even if I told him not to so we could just save money (I can be cheap-I'm sure this is shocking to many of you but I can lol) he always had flowers or some extremely thoughtful gift!!! (he must have learned this from having 5 sisters around)

Go Trey

So I probably tell Trey 30 times a day not to scream and we dont allow him to climb on furniture but when Reggie and Ken come around there are NO rules and he LOVES it! Mark's sisters and their significant other's give Trey their undivided attention 100% of the time and he just eats it up!!!

A glimpse of swim lessons

Trey going under water!

Water Day!

Trey and Easton with the bubbles
All the kiddos with the bubbles
Kendra with the kids--she has to be one of the most patient people I know (I guess thats why God blessed her with twins)!!
Trey is the sippy cup bandit--not my favorite thing cuz I am a germ phobe
Trey and Izz having a moment
Today we got together with our church playgroup and played with everything water. 2 water tables, the hose, sprinklers, and bubble machine with 8 toddlers and 2 newborns=Total Chaos! Even though its crazy it is still so fun to get together--I love these girls!!!
