Picking Wishies at Gigi and Pa-pa's

These are some pics from last weekend's fun at Gigi and Pa-pa's...as noted by the beautiful weather in these pictures :)

" Wishies"...one of life's many wonders. The boys had a blast picking them with Grammy in Gigi's front yard.

Love Cubs!

Happy 3rd Birthday Grant & Reid!

I can't believe I have 2 three year olds! This year was a "Cars" birthday party, complete with friends, presents, and their very own cakes! Evidently sharing birthday cakes isn't very popular with the twins :) We had so much fun, having our friends over for our party, the boys would list off everyone they wanted to invite, and it was important that "mommy's friends" were invited too...worked out well for me :) The boys were thrilled to have so many friends show up to help them celebrate turning "3 just like Britton"!

Valentine Fun

A little behind on my blogging, but still wanted to post our February fun.

Valentine treats I made for the boys class

This was from our phot shoot with Miss Alyssa

Winter Snow 2010

It's hard to believe this is the Texas I grew up in...this kind of snow is definitely new to us here in Arlington, but the boys are starting to think this is the norm. It's been a long wet, and snowy winter this year. Just when I thought I couldn't take any more winter this blanket of snow dropped from the heavens. It was absolutley gorgeous...just like living in a snowglobe, and the boys thought it was pretty fun too! Ever since our white Christmas they have been talking about it snowing again, and Santa coming...well no Santa this time, but all the fun they had making snow angels, snowmen, sledding, and having snowball fights more than made up for no Santa. We even got to have a slumber party with our cousins Peyton and Maddie Cate since they lost their power. There were many trees lost in our neighborhood due to all the snow. This also meant many people without electricity...which is no way to live if you're asking my sister-in-law Melissa. We had so much fun hosting the slumber party...Meliss gave me a crash course in photo-shop while Jason took the kids sledding. We made yummy food, and wasted the day away playing.

Before snow was even in the forecast the boys were wanting to make snow angels. They must have learned about them at school, because we definitely had not discussed them. After school one day I asked them to show me what a snow angel was to see if they really knew and sure enough they would lie down on the floor and move their arms and legs to show me...so finally at long last their chance to make the real deal!

Watch out Grant!!!

Excitement was in the air...

...the carrot nose was very important!


This one cracks me up...check out Grants hat, and Peyton's face! Ha! They had so much fun sledding with Jason.


A very snowy Lynda Lane!

Weekend Fun

Daddy was in San Antonio this weekend winning another volleyball tournament. Congrats again Daddy! This winning business is getting a little predictable! :) Meanwhile the boys and I enjoyed a rainy Saturday of puzzles, and crafts. A quick trip to Michael's to buy 'all that glittered' to make the cutest Valentine's ever! Pink heart cards+Glitter+Cousins=FUN! We finished out the weekend with a fun play date with Blakey on Sunday. I didn't get any pictures, but we had so much fun riding scooters and bikes with Blake. Blakey is so cute on his scooter I wish I had pics...that boy can scoot!! These are the times we are so thankful to have family so close!

Big Boy Haircuts

Well, we have a theme around here and it's everything "Big Boy"...so next on the list was big boy haircuts courtesy of Miss Debbie...we lost the rugrat look and now mommy is adjusting to these big boys styles...almost 3 and looking every bit of it!!

Grant looking slick, and Reid about to lose his mop :)

I love how much you can see their little faces now!

A Monday Night With the Boys

Monday night was such a fun night with the boys. They gave me so many laughs I thought I needed to write them down. Lately the boys have been trying to dress themselves...I suppose it's that independence thing, which is somewhat bitter sweet...so when Reid managed to put his undies on all by himself the other night I told him he was getting to be "such a big boy", and it made me sad because I wanted him to stay a bitty baby...he put his arms around my neck, patted my back and said "don't cry mama, don't cry". I mean so sweet because it was so sincere too...lol.

Next Grant notice my nice big red zit in the middle of my forehead...not hard to miss really, but here's how that went down:

Grant: "mama, someone hit you??"

Me: "No baby no one hit me"

Grant: "mama, you hit your head on the wall??"

Me: "No baby, mommy just has a booboo"

Grant: "mama, need a bandaid??"

Ha! So sweet all the concern they have for me these days...

Shortly after that I noticed Reid had been M.I.A. for at least 5 or 10 minutes, coincidently I had just told him that he had to either put up the lollypop he had been carrying around, or he needed to put it in his pink heart purse to save it for later. So as I walk down the hall to his room I notice little pieces of candy wrapper on the floor. I find him hiding under the blankets in his bed with a half eaten lollypop! I wish I had a picture of the look on his face when I caught him...absolutely priceless! It took everything I had to not bust out laughing. Poor baby had to go a whole day without any "pwizes" for going potty :( It was really hard not to give in, but we made it through the day, and today he's getting lots of prizes!

I can't wait to see what they come up with tonight!

Big Boy Beds

The big boy beds were delivered yesterday morning, and I couldn't wait for Jason to get home, so I put them together over my lunch break since I was working from home. They turned out to be just the perfect size...any bigger they would be too big for their room, and any smaller they wouldn't have been big boy beds. The boys love them, and especially love jumping on them...we will need some bumper pads I'm afraid. Now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of the decor in their room. I've been waiting to get their beds to really decorate, so now I guess I need to get busy!

Old Friends/Good Times

We had some old friends over for dinner last Saturday, and had so much fun. Linds, you're right there is just something about old friends...Lucas and Lindsay brought baby Logan who was so cute and soooo sweet and lovey! Blake and Nicole brought Miss Elizabeth, who was a total doll, and played so well with all the boys! We need to get together way more often with our friends! Now if I could just get my husband to stop bringing up his "hot dog stand" idea to Lucas...I mean...I love hotdogs and all, but don't think I need to be married to the hotdog man, nor do I need him trying to get our friends to partner with him in his hotdog stand venture....and why didn't I take any pictures of the grownups?? Next time...

Logan loved Handy Manny...does someone else watch as much Disney as we do??

Cowboy Logan riding the range

This one cracks me up...Grant and Elizabeth

Logan loved giving kissies :)
