So Lucky

I am so lucky to be able to share everyday with these two wonderfully spirited boys!

Happy Birthday, Poppy!

Today our Poppy celebrates his 53th Birthday.....have a happy day! We love you!

Bye-Bye Bottles

Look at what Elijah learned.....

C'mon Mom....

I know that Carter is going to find this post quite embarrassing one day but.....it will be many years until he can located and read this blog on his own.......so here goes...... Carter pooped on the potty this morning! We have been having much success with peeing but pooping has been a bit of an obstacle. This morning, much to my surprise, Carter requested his little potty and went....so much excitement! In case any of you are wondering what the reward for pooping in the potty is....a skittle, a M&M, 3 Cars Reward stickers and a lollipop. A bit of overkill I know...but what can I say? I am a proud Mommy and most of all I am happy that we may be seeing the end of one child in diapers!

Taking a Dip

In order to woo Carter from Mimi and Poppy's today I had to promise him some pool time and he discovered that he could use his slide and pool together......HOURS of fun!

Just Because

I had to put this up just bcause Eli is so serious. (sorry I am not sure how to rotate the clip)

Happy Birthday to Mommy

Yesterday I celebrated my 33rd birthday. It's funny, as I get older I really do believe that I am getting better with age. I am very lucky to have my wonderful husband (who works harder than he should most days), my fantastic family, health and, of course, my boys......who are the best gifts ever! Brian took charge of the boys, giving me the day "off" and he also made a wonderful dinner with just a tiny bit of help from our Moms. My mom and I went to tea and then visited a greenhouse (two of my favorite things), a great dinner (that I didn't prepare or clean up), and special time with my family.....ahhh....Heaven!! I love you all so much....thank you for everything that you did so I could have a relaxed day!
Carter and I blow out the candles and make wish. We only had to light the candles and sing Happy Birthday twice.

Yes....these boys are serious about cake!
