Who's that masked man?

Riley found this mask from a previous birthday party Reid went to a while back.  Reid didn't want to have anything to do with it at the party.  Today, he told me he loves wearing masks.  

I'm glad he decided he likes it.  :)

Off to the Farm

Nothing better than a walk in the fields to cure what ails ya'. 

Reid's absolute favorite thing in life... riding on a John Deere tractor.  Future farmer?

Pure joy.

Not sure what got Riley under the tractor, but it sure did make for a fun photo opp.  :) 

And time for rest after some farm fun.  

I decided this week that if the boys got well in time, we would make a little road trip to see my in-laws.  Rodney was out of town a few days this week and I knew Reid had been dying to take a trip up there.  They live on about 60 some acres of land out north of here. The boys just love it!  Especially Reid.  If he could be out there on his Grandpa's John Deere tractor all day, he would be in heaven.  Riley-Rooster had a ball just running and getting into whatever he could find.  He was really good at the farm!  Guess that country air is good for something! We had a wonderful time and it was nice to get out of town for a couple of days.  Thank you Nana & Grandpa for having us and giving the boys some more fun memories!  We love you!

Spring has Sprung!

One lawnmower just wasn't enough today. 

Sweet thing wasn't much up for pictures today, but I managed to gaze in on those lashes. 

We had a nice morning outdoors today.  Drinking my coffee, playing, and taking pictures of my boys. What a truly picturesque day!  Thank you Lord for the 70 degree weather.  Um, I'll take some more of that, please! 

Bedtime Routines

Rodney puts Reid to bed most every night and apparently they have a little routine going.  Play for a few minutes, read a story, sing Old MacDonald and say prayers.  Apparently, I was interrupting this flow because I was told by my 4 yo that I could go downstairs if I needed to.  Sorry buddy.  Mommy just can't help herself.  I love having pictures of my boys!

Sweet Days

We've all had the crud at our house this week, so I haven't taken many pictures, but I was looking back at Easter pictures and these just made me smile.  Good days.  Good times.  Good memories.  Sweet brothers.

Happy hat day Friday!

TGIF!  It's Friday!  Thank the Lord for that and for cute little boys on a Friday morning that make me smile! We're ready for Daddy to be home and for pizza Friday... is it 5:00 yet?  :)

Sweet Dreams

Yesterday, I wasn't feeling so hot, and needed a nap.  I asked Reid if he wanted to lay in the bed with me and usually he doesn't want to, but yesterday he said yes.  Seriously.  MELT. MY. HEART.  Loved it.  He was fidgety for a bit, but then all of a sudden, I noticed he was completely still and fast asleep.  I couldn't help but take a picture of this sweet thing.  What is it about kids that makes them so precious when they are sleeping?  Love you Reid.  You are precious sleeping & awake.
