It's June?!?!?!

Wow, I cannot believe my last post was in April and now it is June! Time is going by so fast. We are having a good time and staying VERY busy. We lost our camera for a few weeks but it surfaced in one of our many Diaper bags - hooray! In the last two months we have been staying outside as much as we can, as well as going to the farmers markets, musuems, ice cream "stations" etc. We also had a great visit with family over memorial day weekend. These boys have the summer bug and are go go go. Here are some random pics from the last few weeks.

My handsome and patriotic Buckaroo

Myself and a very dapper Theodore

Buck getting a quick sponge bath- he is all boy, and dirty!

This one takes his meals very seriously!

Best Friends and brothers!

Notice Hi T fully clothed in the pool - LOL

Buck in a lovely shade of burnt red, i think its his color

Spring Fever

Its has been like summer here already and the boys have Spring Fever! We have been eating
Popsicles and gardening at home. The boys have really had a fun time with that, even if HI T looks maniacal with a grape Popsicle. Buck has been a real big helper with his dada, following him everywhere and pitching in on yardwork. His new found love is worm hunting, he is very good at it and torments me with the wiggly ones.

This Weekend we spent Sunday at the Farm to see The Pennel's, Cousin Kate and the New House. We had so much fun! Theodore explored every nook and cranny while Buck and Kate went fishing. We had a pre lunch gator ride that everyone love, Buck loves to "farm the gator" (drive the gator). We got some great pics.

Gator Ride was a Hit!


Crimson Clover and Hi T

Backyard fun!

Popsicles are our favorite treat

Trip to MiMi JoJo's

We voyaged far far away in the Starship Acadia on a 13 hour drive right outside of Washington, DC so the boys could see their MiMi JoJo and meet their Great Grandma Jackie. The boys were Amazing!!! The weather was horrid on the way up rain from the Nashville all the way to my moms - ugh. Poor Ryan did all of the driving like a champ and did not complain once. Thankfully a friend of mine let us borrow a DVD player and that made the trip more bearable on the boys. The boys LOVED being at a hotel but when a little stir crazy after being in the car that long, it was like Beavis and Butthead go to DC -they were destroying the place, we had to unplug the phones and the radio just so we would not get kicked out. The two days we visited were great, I got to visit with my mom and an old friend on the first day and the see my aunt and cousins at a picnic my mom had at a local park. The park had a "beach" on the Potomac and it was perfect weather - the boys had a blast. The pics are cute but the VIDEO below is hillarious.

Easter Festivities

Easter was so much fun for us this year!! There were egg hunts galore and the boys became professionals. The weather was perfect and everything in Memphis was blooming.

Hello Sun!

Yay - the sun is back and spring is getting close. We have been venturing out and loving every second of it. Here are a few pics of our latest outings in the front yard as well Buck's trip to the Memphis Botanical Gardens, they have an excellent area for children called My Big Backyard, it is incredible and worth every penny of the 5 dollar admission.

Ryan's Birthday

We celebrated Ryans Birthday in style and the boys made his birthday cake! Really they did everything except put the pan in the oven,. Buck was the assembler while Hi T was in total control of quality check with the ingredients. We made him a Black forest pudding cake and it was fantastic. (to my family - this is just like Mamoo's Dump cake with Chocolate cake mix and no pineapple.). I can tell that my little chefs get their cooking skills from Ryan.














Okay - Now turn away if you have a squeamish stomach - Hi T seriously went crazy eating his dessert! Too Funny

February Frenzy

Wow, I cannot believe that February has almost come and gone! What a busy month it has been for us with Snow Days, Sick Days and (Finally) School Days. The boys are growing up so fast, they do something new to amaze me every day. Buck is a riot, he is talking in full sentences now and is learning so much about the world. He just recently gave me my first "i love you mommy" and that was incredible for me! Theodore is growing up faster than I can take, he honestly thinks he is Bucks age and will not settle to be treated like a baby. He is talking incredbly well, he can sing all of twinke twinkle, It floored me the first time he did it, I had no clue. He is really picking up on all of Buck's catch phrases but is still very much his own person. I love how much they play together and when Buck sees Thoedore after school he always runs up to him, gives him a big hug and says "love for Hi T" - super sweet.





thought this was a neat comparison below. On the left is a pic of Buck from Easter of last year and the right is Hi T now.
