Family pictures

A sunrise, photography session on Ameila Island sounds dreamy, right?!?

Beautiful sunlight & skies...

Kids laughing and playing...

In a dream world.

Things were a little crazy trying to get my crew up and ready for sunrise...

there was some crying, a few fights...

but you'd never know looking at these beauties!

He said what?!?

Nolen's teacher pulled me aside this morning.

She had a funny story from last week.

She said that on the way to the playground one day, 

she dropped her sunglasses.

Without hesitating, Nolen picked them up for her 

(my little gentlemen.)

"I'm really good at picking up glasses, 

you know what other glasses I'm good at picking up? 

Wine glasses.  I can even pick them up very carefully with wine in them!"

Hangs head in shame, Mother-of-the-year!

Guess I should be glad the little one isn't talking much...

no telling what he would say!

 

We are still alive...

Sorry for being MIA.

We are throughly enjoying this crazy, hot, busy, hilarious summer.

More to come soon (I promise...)

Just let me soak up my last few weeks of summa!

Happy Birthday Hudson Grandma!

As every parents says...

Where has the time gone?!?

Cannot believe you are 2, sweet boy!

You are talking better and better everyday.

(I'm convinced this is because we started buying organic milk with DHA)

You are trying really hard to potty train yourself.

You love ripping your diaper off and yelling,

"POOP!"

You are our "man-baby"

People mistake you for a 3 year old all the time.

You LOVE being outside, playing, playing, playing.

You think you are just one of the big boys!

You weigh the same as brother (who is 4...) 35 pounds!!!

You have 3 lovies in life...

blankie (a green cashmere blanket...yes...the boy likes cashmere)

Paci

& doggie

You ask for them all day...and love on them!

You are just such a sweet loving boy.

Sometimes I feel like I love you so much that my heart might explode!

Funnies

Oh the things that come out of these little mouths...

Hudsons speech is beginning to explode.

A new word daily.

This weeks word is "C*cks"  (Socks)

He yells it wherever we go.

This morning Nolen came in to snuggle before our alarms went off.

His little arms wrapped around me.

N:  Mommy, you aren't wearing any boobies!"

M: {hanging head in shame...starting boob fund}

my loves

Mommy got a new camera lens for her birthday.

I think I'm in love.

4 months...1 post....go!

Lots of things going on...

Nolen started T-ball.  (Go DevilRays!)

Daddies the coach,

Mommies helping in the dug-out.

(PS, check out the sponsor ;( )

Mommy turned 32.

We celebrated with friends at Epcot.

(Everyone had to buy a hat in a different country)

Little wild man still has a sweet, snuggly, baby side

He gives some nice lovies!

Nolen danced with his first belly dancer.

He knew just where to stick that dollar  :-/

These boys are finally starting to play together.

Love these little moments.

Mr. Cool LOVES hoods, pacis, and sunglasses.

 Look who can write his name!!!

(Proud teacher Mommy here!)

Hudson has found his voice.

He is all BOY and so much fun!

They are learning to team up against us...

                            

 Nolen got a new "fort bed!"  

Our hope is that one day Hudson will share the bottom bunk.

(That is going to be tricky though, 

I plan on keeping him in a crib until he's 24.)

We made Valentines for Nolen's class.

We had lunch with Doc (and Sophia, and Handy Manny, and Jake.)

Mommy professed her love to Daddy...

Nolen turned 4!

And Hudson....Oh I love this boy!
