We recently made an trip to Horry County to visit the family. A trip is not complete without spending time with Grampy on his boat! This is one of Cannon's favorite things. Anytime he sees a boat he says," I go on Grampy's boat, please?"

He always gets watermelon too.

CRAZY Uncle Chad on the rope swing.

He tried to get Brett to go on it but Brett was afraid he might break the rope or the steps up the tree so he opted out.

Happy Birthday, Brett!

Brett turns 34!

We made a cake. The batter was "licious".

The cake was horrible. I tried out a Atkins recipe so Brett could have cake for his birthday and it was YUCKO!

Cannon and I surprised Brett with a gift he has really been wanting for quite some time...custom golf clubs!! Watch out boys on this year's golf trip!

Cow Appreciation

We LOVE Chicken-Lay! We go at least once a week. Cannon really LOVES the Chicken-Lay cow. So on Cow Appreciation Day, we donned our cow apparel and ate FREE food.

We literally hugged the cow at least 10 times. So sweet. As we were leaving, he said, "I have to hug Chicken-Lay Cow bye-bye".

Sutton Fix

and one of big brother, of course!

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.
