also known as all the pictures off of my phone… which really isn’t on the go. it’s mostly at home 🙂  i loaded these up and realized my phone is really helpful for documenting our messiest one.  oh samuel, with you there is never a dull moment or a clean one…  we recently picked up a booster seat and it’s totally changed your eating habits. food is at least contained to just your spot now…
we rarely buy you guys toys because for one we don’t need them, but i couldn’t pass up this amazon deal for blocks.  and it currently is played with every day… and the teacher in me love, love, loves toys like this.
we already had a set from when i was a kid that we are using as outdoor blocks and it was the test run to approve buying more blocks for inside.  i took this picture because i couldn’t believe how dirty these kids get every evening.  they have a blast out on the drive way but late sunsets means late baths…. means late bed times.  it should be a fun summer 🙂
papaw and nana came up the other weekend to watch one of jack’s t ball games. luckily when they got to town, mama and daddy were able to sneak in a day date.  we didn’t get a picture together but i guess the next best is with our drinks and yummy food…
daddy had to head out of town for training after a long fun filled weekend.  it made for a long week with you two overtired boys.  luckily abbie, felicity and little joseph made their first trip out to visit us.  it was an unexpectedly quick visit but i am so so happy they did it! looking forward to the next time!
mamas roommates for the week when daddy is gone …
the sun came out for like four or five days straight. it was beautiful!  we soaked up every bit of it along with the cool front that came with it. lots of playing and eating outside, daddy did a half marathon -trail run and we did some much needed yard work. looking back at these pictures i want it all back.  we have had predicted storms for up to a week lately.  such a bummer to see…
a cutie for my cutie…. “here mom you hold the peel.”
after another busy weekend together, daddy’s first project started and he had to be on location. his hotel was only a little over an hour away.  these kids love hotels and we didn’t have anything to do that monday, so a slumber party at daddy’s hotel it was.  these kids were so excited and honestly so were their mama and daddy, because when the kids are happy, we are happy 😉
in the business of all the fun with you boys, i’m anticipating all things girly.  i recently got some things to play with for anna kates room.  it’s my first time to work with this paint and it is quite fun.  i’m just doing small things, which is a lot less pressure and these little cans can really get the job done.
may has many celebrations going on!  the first weekend in may our church had first communion celebration and may crowning for mary.  jack wasn’t able to take flowers up like the class did but i promised him we could get some at the store to honor mary in our home.   so he reminded me monday morning what we needed to do.  he was very excited to put these up for her.
{oh this library here, how much we love it.. the views and the activities are so much fun}
a few ball games here and there and every where between….  and then a special mothers day!
the boys made me breakfast, were super at the beautiful morning mass and were very patient during a long wait at a nearby restaurant…
but this place had a place to play so it was worth it…. happy kids = happy mama.
so it can sometimes be crazy busy, crazy messy, and crazy emotional but i wouldn’t trade this for the world.  feeling super blessed to be carrying our third little blessing ~anna kate~ 29 weeks this mothers day.
xxoo
