Can I Have Ice Cream?

April 2, 2011 was Cannon's third soccer game and apparently third time is a charm with this kid!

He was a mad man on the soccer field! After about 6 goals, I stopped counting. I know he scored probably 8-10! Granted the other team wasn't doing much defense but he was still amazing. He was great at keeping the ball from going out of bounds and turning the ball to go in the direction of his net! Last week he made three goals but one was in the other team's net. (FYI At this point in the game, a goal is a goal!).

At one point, the coach grabbed him and held him back and told him to give the other kids a chance to play.

At the end of the game he came running over for high fives, jumped in Daddy's arms and said, "I made a lot of goals, can I have ice cream?"

This kid is definitely after his Daddy's heart! I think an avid sports lover could wish for nothing more than a competitive kid that loves sports too.

Cool Man Tata aka Hakuna Matata

This kid is a performer! I was watching this video and it made me think of that Justin Beiber movie. Not saying that he is going to be a musician but maybe.

Love how he has to "fix the problem" at the end. So stinkin' cute!!

Quote of the Day

"Mommy, when I get big I will keep Sutton so Daddy can take you to a Princess party and dance with you like a Princess."

(I could just squeeze this precious, little boy).

House Update

We got a call on Friday. The bank said we will have an accepted offer by May 5th. Note, I did not say counteroffer! Looks like they are taking our offer, we have nothing in writing so I think nothing is official but it might just be.

I also found a house on the same street, same floorplan that is for sale that I like better. HA! There were some things I did not like about the house we made an offer on and they are so much better in house #2!

Brett says to forget about #2 because he feels there is no way we will get it for the price of #1. I am thinking shouldn't we let them know that House #1 is about to be foreclosed?? :)

Anyway, looks like we might have a house this year.

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.
