Connor Crawling

This was our attempt of getting a video of Connor crawling. Will was supposed to "bait" him with the phone, but he got too distracted trying to play a game. :)

Costume of the Day: Superman Edition

Will stood so the ceiling fan would blow his superman cape.


Connor was pretty impressed. :)


He will have a partner in crime before too long!

A Typical Morning

I took these pictures last week on a random morning while the boys were playing. They aren't of anything super exciting, but I know in 20 years they will make me smile. :)

Tile Coasters

Inspired by this post on my sister's blog, we made these coasters last night. They are for a gift bag we are putting together for our visitors on Sundays. A set of 4 comes out to be right around $1!

This one is my favorite. (I hijacked it to use for my coffee in the mornings. ;) )

CVS Deals

I go in spurts of doing CVS deals for several weeks, and then taking several weeks off. Well, I ran in last night to use up an extra buck that was expiring, and got this for $0.78! If you are interested, you can check out the CVS deals for the week here. This is my new favorite "deal website." (You have to check out the follow me monday segments!)

Family Fun

Last night we went to Whataburger dressed in orange for their free whataburger promotion! I meant to get a picture of the whole fam, but forgot. :(. Connor got quite a lot of attention in his orange outfit; about 20 people told us "she" was so cute. I guess the gender neutral color and long eyelashes were confusing them. :). We brought our burgers home and had a picnic on the floor while we watched "Up". Fun memories!!!

Getting Organized

I have been trying to organize closets this week, and finally tackled the closet in the boys room, the worst yet. :O It still looks a little cluttered to me, but they have a lot of clothes to store.

These cute day of the week tags were printable and FREE at Living Locurto. :)

I got inspired to make my own little tags for the boys' storage bins.

Fun at the Park!

Branson Trip

Silver Dollar City

One of the highlights of our trip to Branson was Silver Dollar City.


Will's favorite part was the fun rides! He got so excited when he would find out he was tall enough to ride a certain ride. :) He's getting so old!


Connor and cousin Drew were good all day and enjoyed being out in the fresh air.


Will wrote his name on a slate in the school house.


We had a great time!!

Will is such a big helper with Connor, and is always ready to put his paci in his mouth or make him smile with his funny faces. I was busy making supper this evening, so Will came running to get Connor's paci when he started fussing. I didn't think anything of it when he stopped crying, but when I turned around, I was shocked to see not a paci but a . . .

tootsie pop in Connor's mouth! I'm very glad that Will is already learning to share, but it's a little too early for tootsie pops! ;)

Everyday Grace

I LOVE these cute little tags from the everyday grace etsy store. My sister first told me about them after she got one for Drew. I ordered one for Connor right away, and have since ordered them as shower gifts. Personalized gifts are so fun to give (and get!), and my whole experience with everyday grace has been wonderful.

Meeting Drew

Connor and I had a wonderful visit with Donnie, Alisa and little Andrew in Mississippi last week.

Drew and Connor got to spend lots of time together.

They especially liked kicking their feet on the floor next to each other.

They were troopers and slept all afternoon while their mommies went shopping and got pedicures. :)

I think they will always be buddies.

Sidewalk Chalk

Thanks for the 3d chalk set Aunt Elaine!

Reading Buddies

Today Will read one of his favorite fire truck books to Connor.

"Fire trucks are very 'apportant'"
As the big brother, he has to fill Connor in on all of the "apportant" things in life: fire trucks, pirates, and leatherback sea turtles. :)
