Bad Mommies

Everytime we have the kids together we like to take this photo to doument how much they have grown. Usually they are cooperative.

Today, they DID NOT want their pictures taken.

Poor babies we did it anyway!

Anna's Birthday

Anna had her 1st Birthday on Saturday. Here are a few pictures from her day. It was a precious party with the cutest little "buggies", Cannon and Anna...

Cheryl truly outdid herself with this adorable cake.

I felt like a slacker because I did not make Cannon's.

Birthday Girl.

Spider Legs are Yummo.

Our family.

Anna's Present

We got Anna Kate this tutu for her birthday and I thought it might be funny to out it on my son. I am sure this picture will come back to haunt him one day!! It is funny now!

Cheese Please!

Cannon LOVES cheese.
On Friday, he was eating his cheese
and decided that it would be fun to stick it to the sliding door.

Stacking

Cannon loves blocks. He can stack six blocks without any of them falling! Architect?

Today, we registered Cannon for Child's Day Out at Old Fort Baptist Church! Apparently, a lot of parents like this program. We prepared to wait in a LONG, cold line this morning but we were third in line and Cannon made it in! The line wasn't bad at all!

He starts in September and he will go two days a week from 9-1.

This is fun!

This is my new do!

Lollipop

At the Valentine's party this week, Cannon got a box full of Valentines. I finally had a chance to let him go through it on Friday. He discovered one of the lollipops and I decided it was time for him to have his first Lolli!

My box is full of goodies. There is lollipops, play dough, candy hearts and more...

Look at this!

Can I please eat this Lolli?

Here Mom, taste it. Yum.

Mmmmmm.

I need to use both hands.

Cruiser Playgroup Secret Valentine Lunch

On Friday, we had a Secret Valentine Lunch with our playgroup.

The kids exchanged gifts and we all ate lunch.

Cannon was Emma's Secret Valentine.

Since Emma is a little princess, Cannon got her a tiara and a wand.

This wand is fun! It is a magician's wand.

Caroline is sharing Cannon's lunch!

All of the kids decided that the food on Cannon's tray was the best so they all shared.

Valentine's Party

The Moms Group had a Valentine's Party today.

The kids decorated their boxes and exchanged valentine's. It was really cute!

welcome to our pea pod.

This blog is about our family, mostly our precious boys; Cannon and Sutton, but you will find it a window into our lives.

Brett and I met and fell in love over waiting tables at the Original Benjamin's Seafood Buffet in Myrtle Beach, SC. We dated for about 4 years and were married September 2003 at Litchfield Plantation. We lived in Savannah for five years and now reside in Summerville SC.

Our beautiful boys were born 2008 and 2010.

We are amazed everyday by the gifts that are our children. They are a reminder of God's unconditional love for us. Someone once told me that you cannot begin to understand God's love for you until you have a child and it is so true. God sent His Only Son to DIE for us. I am not sure we knew what kind of sacrifice that truly was until having children of our own.

We love the Lord and strive to live our lives in accordance with His will. We are not perfect. Yes, we fail daily but find ourselves back at the cross willing to try again.

Our firstborn son. He made me a Mommy, Brett a Daddy! He is beautiful...inside and out! He has a the most gorgeous blue eyes and dimple to match. This kid is going to break some hearts! He is our athlete. He loves anything with a ball. He already has a great baseball arm and can hit a golf ball over our fence! He is spirited and loving. He is a lover for sure! He loves to give hugs and kisses and to cuddle. He will just grab my face and give me a million kisses. He loves books and music and art! He knows more songs that I do. I joke he has music in his bones. I often hear him singing while playing alone. So cute. He has a great sense of humor already and he fills our days with laughter! Who knew having kids would provide endless entertainment. He is becoming an amazing big brother and already tells Sutton that he "loves him so much". He loves to drink chocolate milk. Loves eat pancakes, hummus, edamame, and peanut butter and jelly! He has a huge sweet tooth just like Daddy. He is already showing that he loves God and Jesus and even beginning to relate the things in God's word to our world. Amazing! He is fearless and cautious at the same time. He is often called a daredevil and is usually the first kid to jump, climb, and run.. with no regard to danger (He laughs in the face of danger!! Ha). But he is very cautious around new people. He is creative and imaginative and smart, loves to create and destroy, has more energy than you can imagine, loves to scream and laugh and RUN!!! Watch out, this kid will run away with your heart.
