Boys Will Be Boys

Let me preface this story be saying that we do not pass gas in front of each other in our family. just go in another room. Yes, Brett and I have been together for almost 11 years and that's what we do.

So as soon as Cannon started to pass gas or burp we began to teach him to say, "Excuse me" and he does. We typically do not make a big deal about it or laugh, etc. Well, occassionally we laugh. Why is it funny when a two year old has gas but not a 33 year old?

Anyway...

Tonight (3/30/10) at Moe's I took Cannon to the potty. His friend, Harper, joined us. Cannon is the first of his friends to use the potty and he is very proud. He likes for his friends to watch. So he said, "watch me Harper, watch!" Harper is watching...

Cannon passes gas and he and Harper begin to giggle UNCONTROLLABLEY! Harper starts saying, "Cannon pooted, Cannon pooted". More laughter ensues! I have ever seen them laugh so hard. Cannon almost fell into the potty laughing. It was hysterical.

I looked away trying not to laugh and to get him to say excuse me. That did not happen, I almost fell onto the gross wet floor laughing.

I think I just got a preview of what my life will be like being the mom of two boys!! Will they inherit my husband's manners or will he find himself pulled to the dark side by Cannon and Sutton?

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.
