Words

Cannon has some new words:
1. Beach. He says it all the time. He LOVES the beach.
2. Work. As in Daddy is at work.
3. Please. My personal favorite. So cute.

Our Weekend

We had a great weekend. On Saturday, we went to the pool with our Sunday School class. Here is a video of the boys racing in the pool.

On Saturday night, we went to Kelly's BBQ with our class. Cannon LOVED it. He ate so much! Apparently, he LOVES country food.

On Sunday,we joined a church. We have felt God leading us to join and we finally acted on it!

We got our entire bathroom primed and our purchased paint, the hope is to finish this week.

Cannon and I made birdfeeders today. It was fun but cleaning him was not so fun.

Peppers, Oh My!

Poppy a.k.a Papa came on Thursday to deliver my NEW freezer from my Dad. He brought along many goodies from his garden including a TON of peppers. My, Oh My, What will we do with them all!

Mess

Our vaccuum died but not before spitting out a "mess" on the carpet upstairs.
Today, Cannon climbed the stairs and found his swiffer at the top, he went over and said, "mess, mess, mess" and started cleaning.

Now I Sang My ABC's...

Cannon loves to sing the ABC song. He even notices letters on signs as we go down the street and he will start singing. Yes, I am aware that he only says, "A, B, A, B" but he thinks he is singing the song and I think he is amazing!

In this video he is a little distracted by "Yo Gabba Gabba".

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.
