We could not wait, we or rather I gave in and gave Cannon one of his presents. It is this Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Kitchen, really cute. Honestly, it was a selfish act because Brett did not want to drag it to Myrtle Beach and back.

This IS Your Christmas Card

In our continued efforts to become a more "green" household, we have decided to not send out Christmas cards this year! Enjoy this photo instead!

I hate Santa!

First Parade

On Sunday evening, we went over to Kristin's house and watched the Mt. Pleasant Christmas Parade with several fellow Enterprisers!

This was Cannon's first parade and our first night time parade! It began with a fireworks show which Cannon LOVED! He was laughing hysterically at them! So cute.

I had him all bundled up, in case it got cold.

We later took these layers off because it was such a nice evening.

Before the parade, all the kids were playing in the street.

Cannon in the street. Can you read his shirt?
It says, "All Mommy wants for Christmas is a SILENT NIGHT!"

This little girl wanted to be his girlfriend. Don't worry, Anna Kate, we said, "No, No."

Anna Comes to Visit

Our Favorite Little Swedie came to visit this weekend. I did not do a very good job of taking photos while she was here. Here are a few I took Sunday morning. She is such a little ham!!

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.
