Grocery Carts

My first attempt at letting Roo-Roo push the grocery cart around.... we are SO not ready for this, bubba! But it was fun while momma let it last, huh?

It's finally happening.....Sweet brothers, becoming the best of friends! 

Melt.my.heart.  Nothing makes me happier than seeing these boys smile & have fun! I could just kiss their sweet cheeks all day if they'd let me!

Superheroes unite!

It has been a crazy few weeks at our house.  First mama got the flu, then mama put her back out, then poor Reid got the flu this week!  This has been our week....get up, eat, Reid puts on superman costume,  lay around, watch tv, and get up to watch the garbage man go by...

Today Reid was finally able to go back to school. It was pajama day.  We couldn't miss that! Bet you can't guess what kind of pj's he wore?  

The boys took a trip with me to Buy Buy baby today & Reid found these adorable Superman shirts... complete with cape and all! They didn't even have his size, but I didn't have the heart to tell him. Reid is slightly obsessed with the big S man these days... and so is his little brother!  Riley watches every move he makes....

And then tries to copy whatever he does.  Dangerous or not!

 

I just love these two!  They crack me up!

Superheroes in action!

I just hope they don't decide they can actually fly one day!

They just love each other and are becoming best friends. 

My new favorite app

I just discovered this new app... it's really for parents and great to use with kids.  It's awesome because it's a no frills way to get fun conversations going with your kids!  I don't know about you, but I sometimes struggle to come up with interesting things to talk about with my boys.  My brain is not 5 (or 2 for that matter) anymore and I want to talk about silly things with them, but most of the time sometimes my brain is so worn out...lacking nothing something to say and wondering what my kids are thinking!  They're always thinking about silly things!

This app gives you fun topics (adventure, family, school, etc.) and hilarious questions that my 2 boys love to talk about!  Oh, and it has a recording feature so you can record your kid's voice as they are talking.  What a treasure to save for years to come!  It was created for parents by parents.  Love it! Just thought I'd share. And another awesome quality.... FREE!!

Mom's birthday

My mom turned 60-something this past week.  :)

She looks amazing.... I hope to have skin like that when I'm her age!

The boys {love} helping everyone open their presents. 

.... and seeing what's inside!

Happy birthday, Mom!  Your grandboys love you SOOO much!

Mom,

I am so thankful for you & all that you have taught me about being a friend, wife & mother.  I would not know what to do without you in my life!  Thank you for the treasure that you are & all that you have done for me.  You are one spectacular lady!  I love you from the bottom of my heart and thank God for you everyday!

I had to add this one in of Roo-Roo... those eyes.  Melt.me

All about superheroes

Our boys, especially Reid, have been all about Superheroes these days.  Especially superman!  Rodney has been showing the boys the new upcoming superman on you tube.  They want to watch it ALL the time!  SO cute & especially to see their little faces so mesmerized!  Just love this little moment!

January... time to organize!

I {love} new spaces!  I got on an organization roll this weekend while Rodney was at airforce duty.  Cleaned out toys, closets, made old decorations new by moving them around and created this "new" space for my mom stuff.  I had this table upstairs in the playroom and a friend so nicely pointed out to me the other day how cute it was.  I thought, "Yeah, you're right, and it's SO not being used for anything fun!"  I moved it downstairs into our mudroom area and it has now become part of my homey little space.  I [heart] it SO much! It holds some of my favorite magazines I can leave laying open to the pages I like.  My basket full of sharpees, notepads, kraft tags, jute... ahhh.  My favorite things!  Happy January to you! 

A Little bit more Christmas...

I didn't get to finish posting my Christmas pics.... so here they are!  The boys dressed up before we went to Christmas Eve Service.   Melt. my. heart. sweet.

Spreading reindeer food on the front lawn when we got home that evening.  Don't look at Riley's pants & yes, that is pee water all over them.  Diaper change? 

I {heart} these little faces.

Reid will hate me one day for this picture, but he was SO proud of this little stocking stuffer! Super hero underwear!

 A little present to both boys from Santa... I think Riley is sitting on his new Elmo doll.  Hilarious.

His favorite gift from Santa!

And another favorite!

Riley just kept wanting to open more presents and it didn't really matter what was in them!

And Rodney will hate me for posting this one, but I couldn't stand not to.... Yes, I bought superman pajamas for my husband too! He loves superheroes just about as much as Reid does and he rocks them at home all. the. time! 

We had a nice quiet day at home and it was really nice to just be the 4 of us for Christmas this year.  We look forward to spending it with our family next year for sure. Merry Christmas to all & to all a good 2013! We hope you all had a very Happy start to your NEW YEAR!
