Its beginning to look a lot like SUMMER!!!

I have been rather neglectant of my little blog and although I should probably do a post to catch everyone up I'm not. Instead I'm going to do it on our splash pad trip!

One of the many things I love about spring/summer in the south is that it comes early and last a LONG time. We've been making the most of these rather warm days by soaking up the sun and the water!

Easter Portraits

I finally got around to taking some "portraits" of the boys with my new camera! I took these pictures a few weeks ago in their Easter outfits but with all the sewing I've been doing lately I just now finished editing them. I really like the shots I got but think I may go back in a couple of weeks when the garden is really in bloom!

Just Like Daddy

Yesterday evening Bobby went outside to do a little yard work and Parker went out with him. When Bobby pulled out the lawn mower Parker went and got his bubble mower and pulled it up right next to Daddy's big mower! Bobby said while he was putting gas in the mower Parker said to him "Put gas in my mower too, Daddy!" so Bobby told him to go get his watering can and put some water in it. Parker opened the little compartment where you're suppose to put bubbles and poured the water in, LOL!

Then Bobby started tightening up some of the loose boards on the fence, so Parker ran in the house to get his hammer so he could "help Daddy".

Can you see the little plastic hammer in his hands?

After the boards were fixed, I came inside to finish cooking dinner while the boys were still outside helping Daddy. A few minutes later I see Parker throw the door open, run over to the toy box, and beginning rummaging through it until he found his pliers then he darts back outside. Intrigued I peek out back to see what he was "fixing" now and I see Bobby clipping some bushes with the limb clippers and Parker pulling the leaves off with his pliers. Bobby said as soon as he pulled out the clippers Parker said "I have one of those tools, too"! Its amazing what they're little minds will come up with, haha! He had so much fun being just like daddy for the evening!

Little Boys

Here are a few things you get when having two little boys around!

Amazing tricks

Busted lips

Dirty hands

Fearless acrobatics

Taking Advantage!

We had new carpet installed in our living room today which meant all of your furniture had to be moved into other rooms for the day. I took advantage of the beautiful sunshine streaming through our unblocked windows and took of pictures of the boys playing in the wide open space. Enjoy!

These Faces...

This child makes me laugh oh so hard!

Doesn't he look like a little bull dog, haha!

Snow Day

We had snow today! I've heard its been as many as 14yrs since its snowed in Mobile! It didn't stick for long but it was fun to play in while it lasted. Parker seemed to enjoy it pretty well. I think he would have liked playing in it a little more if 1. it hadn't been so cold and 2. he hadn't learned the hard way that he can't run on our patio when its snowing and slick:( I have to give him credit though because after we changed his pants (they got pretty wet when he fell) he was ready to go out and play for a little while longer. As for Carter I think he really liked it! He LOVES being outside and this was definitely no different! Here are a few pictures of our FUN!

Bobby and Parker are working on collecting snow to make a snowball from the only place it really stuck.

Getting ready to launch it!
