Cannon's 4th Birthday (the boy)

I think Cannon had a blast at his party. The week before he said " Mom, this is going to be the greatest party, ever!"

Super Hero Photoshoot

Being a Brother is Better Than Being a Super Hero.

Being a Super Hero is still pretty cool though.

A few pictures from around the house. A while back Brett and I painted these portraits of one another. I wanted something of the boys to go with it, so Cannon painted portraits of himself and Sutton. Aren't they cute?

I got rid of the pillows that came with our couch and added some new ones, with lots of COLOR! We just got the roman shades too.

This is our dining room and possibly one of my favorite rooms in the house.

Everything is a work in progress. We are starting to settle in to our home. It's only been 5 months since we moved in.

I'm Daddy

This is Brett's couch. He watches tv on it, reads on it, sleeps on it. Today, Cannon laid down and said "Look, I'm Daddy!". Hilarious.

A very sweet brother/brother moment.

Christmas In Rock Hill (New Years Eve)

This year we spent New Years Even weekend in Rock Hill for our Corder Family Christmas. It was a little different because Laura wasn't able to come and GiGi had the flu but we still managed to have a great weekend.

Tinker toys with Grandpa.

Monopoly

The boys got these amazing plasma cars and they are SOOOO much fun. The adults enjoyed them probably more than the kiddos.

Uncle Brian is working on his "Uncle of the Year" title. He is so great with the boys and they really enjoy playing with him.

Operation!! Remember this game?? So 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.
