Pirate or Witch?

Cannon wanted to be a pirate for Halloween. SO I embarked on costumes for our family! We would be pirates.

Lately, everyone asks Cannon what he will be for Halloween. He replies, "pirate".

I usually have him tell what everyone else will be too.

"Baby Sutton will be a parrot. Daddy a Daddy Pirate. Mommy a Mommy Pirate".

Last week when I asked what was Mommy going to be he said, " A Witch". I replied, "Mommy is going to be a pirate, remember I bought my costume?" He said, "No Mommy, Pirates are boys. You be a witch". I guess I asked for it!

Halloween Decorating

Cannon and I started decorating! The holidays are soooooo much more fun with kids and the older Cannon gets the better it gets!

Here is what we did.

I had Cannon use elmer's glue instead of hot glue. Bad idea. All his candies melted and fell off. He did enjoy eating way to many candy corns as we made them.

Trick of Treating

I made Brett and I "banana" shirts, every Monkey needs some bananas.

Cannon got this Lolli at the first house and he just HAD to open it. He ate it the entire time we were trick or treating.

He really liked trick or treating. He kept saying, "more".

Davis Turns 3

Davis turns 3! Halloween actually fell on a Saturday this year so his Mom decided that a Halloween Birthday Party was in order. His Mom totally outdid herself once again.

Mummies.

Can you tell that he is sneaking M&M's out of the skull. He was so sneaky, he did not think we were watching and he kept sneaking back over...

I love cupcakes.

Birthday Boy.

All of the kids before we went trick or treating.

West Farm Corn Maze

We took the boys to the corn maze on Halloween Eve.

Cannon LOVES pumpkins.

Look at these pictures from last year, he has grown so much.

Brett loved the apple sling shot last year so he was looking forward to it this year.

Someone else was interested in this sling shot too. So Daddt bought him some apples and he got his own turn. He was way better than Daddy.

This is the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

These balls are really fun.

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.
